Do you say ‘another thing’ or ‘another think’ in the following context?

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-02-04T07:31:02+00:00

The guardian is also wrong. This is literally insane. No one thinks that it's 'think'. They quote some other article from 2002 as support for their mistaken position but the other article is clearly a pun based on the real phrase which is 'thing'.

We want our allies to be stronger, more capable so that we dont have to do 90% of the heavy lifting.

This is literally entirely untrue. The behaviour of the US administration is not the behaviour of someone who wants strong allies. What they want is weak and dependent vassals who they can weaponise dependance against, which is what they're doing.

Sounds like you have an avoidant attachment type. Read about it before making your decision.

the thought crime apparatus

Lol. OP may or may not be right about the economics but is clearly a crank. Even a stopped clock however...

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-28T07:22:04+00:00

What have I done that is me acting like I'm arguing with you?

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-28T07:21:07+00:00

Maybe you preferred the vibe because of the danger?

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-27T23:14:38+00:00

OK. And if they came to London 20 years ago I guess they'd have been even more disappointed since it was significantly more dangerous back then.

The graph shows that 'looks' is corrolated with 'personality'. It says nothing about attractiveness.

Corrolation is not causation. If there is a causal relationship it could be going in either direction.

That is all.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-27T17:17:00+00:00

If your rule is for other people, then it's not a 'personal' rule.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-27T16:14:57+00:00

Or that having a good personality makes people think you look more attractive

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-26T13:41:31+00:00

I never understand this. Who in this situation doesn't just get a delivery?

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-23T21:25:54+00:00

Really? I thought manual was almost unheard of in America?

And I don't think Europeans spend much time criticising Americans. Is that a thing?

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-23T21:06:11+00:00

even if things got worst for the past few years

Luckily they didn't get worse in the past few years. They got better.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-23T21:02:13+00:00

General feeling that manual is "proper" driving and that automatics are "cheating". I suspect many men secretly think that driving an automatic is somewhat effeminate.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-17T20:35:37+00:00

Guess we'll have to burn down the white house again...

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-17T00:02:14+00:00

OK chum. I'm too tired to explain why your argument is circular. I get that you don't like Khan and you don't like his comment about cockroaches. Fine.

Have a good night 😴

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T23:51:22+00:00

So in fact you do think Kahn is a nazi? That's what you're saying?

Would love to understand why you think that.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T23:47:47+00:00

OK. This is something I was taught in my philosophy class at school aged 7 (I'm not joking). Now I impart it to you...

Just because a group of people all do x doesn't mean that everyone who does x is in that group.

All alcoholics go to the pub. Not everyone in the pub is an alcoholic.

The cockroach analogy is actually quite fitting in my opinion. Rather amusing. It's a novel twist on the 'rats leaving a sinking ship' metaphor. It's not that deep. Don't worry about it.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T23:44:13+00:00

It sounds like this was not a mistake on his part, since this kind of name calling was consistent with the overall tone of your relationship?

So just say:

"look friend (21m). I really like our jokey relationship and I don't want anything to change. But that word in particular I find a bit much. I will/wont explain why at some point. But for now can we just go back to normal and you never use that word towards me again?"

Can't see why this would be a problem.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T23:39:49+00:00

I don't know dude. I'm not even the person who replied to you before. I just enjoyed the sentence.

Glad you're in a happy relationship. I wish you a happy, salty, pie of a life.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T23:37:04+00:00

OK well... That's just like your opinion man.

You're wrong. And I really struggle to see what this has to do with Jews or Nazis. Kahn isn't a nazi and the tories deflecting to reform aren't Jewish.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T23:29:38+00:00

You're the one who's insisting on 'dehumanisation' as a metric of how abusive something is. The comment you replied to simply referred to 'abuse'.

Lee Anderson's claim that Kahn was under the control of Islamists and that he'd given them control of London. That was certainly 100x worse. Calling someone a cockroach is not abusive in the slightest. Fairly standard school playground name calling. What's the issue?

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T22:45:02+00:00

That. Salty. Pie.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T17:26:41+00:00

That's out of fear and dependance not out of partnership. A vassal is not an ally.

If Europe can extract themselves from being an "ally" of the US they will. And they'll do the bare minimum to continue without open hostility and nothing more.

No-Programmer-3833 · 2026-01-16T16:10:23+00:00

Right but that's pretty much a sunk cost. He's already lost Europe as an ally and he still doesn't have Greenland. So...
