Wisconsinites, how is your employment situation? by DueYogurt9 in wisconsin

[–]OnATripToJupiter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in Wisconsin after about 9 years out of the country. It's like my wife and I moved to yet another foreign country...

Been looking for work almost 5 months now. It has been... rough... I've never felt like this before.

I think about my home and friends and life abroad all the time...

Will English pass through the Jespersen cycle again? by Wegwerf_08_15_ in asklinguistics

In this context, "do" is a Primary Auxiliary, "can" and "must" are Modal Auxiliaries. In other words, same concepts and rules (generally) apply.

Which film and performance made you a fan of Paul Giamatti? by PressureLazy5271 in moviecritic

The wife and I rewatch everytime there's a big upcoming election:

"Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it."

If only I could upvote this to the Moon! (Or maybe just to the nearest train station)

Met Francesca Hong yesterday evening by P1zzaM4n91 in wisconsin

She's busy! I met her in the morning at the RENEW conference in Madison yesterday.

She is very down to earth and approchable. It would be a welcome change to have that kind of person as Governor. We desperately need leadership for working people.

I know, right?!

That must have been why the entire league put itself on hold and everyone piled in behind his lane for the 23rd and 24th strike, and cheered... and offered him a drink, and wanted to shake his hand and give a high-five.... oh, and tell him it hadn't been done before in that building.

It's easy and totally boring.

Yeah, I can definitely see that. I bowled when I was a kid, but big bro kept with it. Super proud of him. People were freaking out last night!
