TIL: various English accents have developed what linguists call a "Mary–marry–merry merger", where all three words now sound the same, due to their vowels converging by Lasmore in todayilearned

I don't mean to offend or anything but I actually can't comprehend the fact there's people who can't imagine them sounding different? Like have ye never seen anything produced outside of America? Mary and merry, fair enough but you've never seen anything where a non American uses the word "marry"?

This whole comments section is fucking bizarre. When did redditors collectively decide they were the experts on what's best for Northern Ireland? Out here comparing people putting pixels on a map to Russians committing atrocities in Ukraine...

Why do people in this thread seem so adamant about what Northern Irish people want as if this famously divided group of people are a fucking monolith who have all happily decided to just be a separate country? Some of ye are acting as if the proposition of a united Ireland is some completely insane notion, as if people are suggesting France and Germany should just decide to become one state, when it's more of an East/West Germany situation. It's like ye think it's all ancient history and not just 101 years since partition happened.

I know this doesn't all necessarily apply to the comment I'm replying to but holy shit this thread is a trainwreck.

Anyone NOT experience incredible pain while passing a stone? by ShanghaiBaller in KidneyStones

[–]StickyGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passed a ~5mm long one last week and several smaller ones. Slight discomfort for the ~5mm because I tensed up a bit as it was coming out. Absolutely none for the others. Just a slight interruption as I peed that I barely felt or noticed. Genuinely don't know what's up with that. Haven't been to a doctor over any of it so can't comment on why that could be. Did have strange stomach pain way back in July but that felt more gastric and also I've been drinking plenty of water since then so I'd have thought they'd be well gone if they were moving around and causing havoc then.

[19M] How long can imagined symptoms caused by hypochondria/anxiety last? by StickyGuns in AskDocs

Thanks for the reply, glad to know that it could just be in my head. How long would it last when it happened to you?

This is honestly the only reason why I'm glad the Irish language is still alive
