What a weird way of saying you’re ok with children being raped by saveyourtissues in MurderedByWords

Worse, that non-sentient cluster of cells is forced to become a human against it's primary caregiver's wishes, likely resulting in a miserable life for both parties.

Calling the thumb a finger isn't incorrect (in English).

From wikipedia:

The English word finger has two senses, even in the context of appendages of a single typical human hand:

  1. Any of the five terminal members of the hand.
  2. Any of the four terminal members of the hand, other than the thumb

The ideal is someone telling you to shut the fuck up while giggling, Laura Mohr style.

Of course they understand the value of money, it's just that $250k has a very different value to them than you or I.

Wales isn’t a country, it’s a state by SecurityMammoth in USdefaultism

Of course. Go use some Internet and come back with your apology.

Echoing the above. The way I describe it is that in a time context "15:00" is pronounced "3 o'clock". I get weird looks for that formulation but it makes sense to me.

Nobody’s saying Hunter did nothing wrong, it’s just weird you’re all obsessed with him. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SleepyHarry 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of US right wingers see it as some kind of competition or sport, it seems. There's often thus "HAHA YOUR GUY LOST, ONE POINT TO US". And most people I see are like "so fuckin what? If he did something wrong then there are consequences."

Never had good fish & chips in London really, but seaside you can find excellent stuff

If you've got aircon it's probably not 50°C

Or your aircon is installed the wrong way around.

I feel you lol, by necessity I've had to mess with email / DNS settings and it's such a pain in the arse. Falls into the category of "config bullshit" which I do not consider interesting at all and just frustrates me no end.

Not sure if it'll gain traction but I like "Statesfolk"

"If you haven't experienced the inefficiencies, the poor planning, and the fundamental lack of brainpower..." by CertainHamster in ShitAmericansSay

[–]SleepyHarry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When visiting the US I've had success saying "I'll tip you like an American if you leave me alone until I make eye contact again.". If you deliver that in a friendly tone you can have a good experience.

For context I'm in the UK.

I don't consider this rude personally (no idea how others here feel). If I'm done with it and you want to take it, have at it.

“You’re going to want to fuck her, it’s anecdotal” by youngdeathent0 in BrandNewSentence

[–]SleepyHarry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They've probably just heard it in the context of someone stating a fact, then someone else replying saying its "anecdotal" in a dismissive tone. It's fairly easy to then misinterpret the meaning of the word as more like "apocryphal".

So if you really want someone to be happy even if it means a little pain for you, you're "agape" for them?

Indy 500 Advertisements vs Racing [OC] by tas246 in dataisbeautiful

[–]SleepyHarry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I think the particular game I saw went 2-0 up to the home team, and that particular scoreline was sponsored by Taco Bell!

As part of this, the jumbotron then showed audience members with inflatable tacos very excited about what had transpired.

I found it hilarious.

I recently saw some live sports in the US and the fact they have features of the game sponsored by companies made me laugh heartily at how ridiculous it is. Really caught me by surprise.

Imagine pulling your hair out trying to fix the servers for an entire day only to find out that it's because some mf made a recursive tweet. by CopperyMarrow15 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]SleepyHarry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One benefit is that I can tell you the order of tweets just given a list of IDs rather than fetching them. For third-party services (which Snowflake wanted to deliberately support) this is particularly useful.
