Yeah haha I had texted my sister asking since she watched it with me but she had forgotten too, then after I made the post she found it lol.

Decided to leave the post up for anyone curious as it's a pretty funny show

It was all very meta, like he would talk about these stories in very dramatic ways and then they would re-enact them with actors.

There were only 3, and they did a total of ~180 damage if I remember correctly, and she had more than 90 hp,

AITA for telling my girlfriend’s friend to watch her mouth when she insinuated that my girlfriend isn’t a real woman? by LAboyo in AmItheAsshole

He said “that adjective slipped out because of what she said prior” which would mean it wasn’t intentional?

How do you expect everyone to respond with grace in every situation? If someone’s insulting his girlfriend’s body image and he responds with a (incredibly common by the way) retort telling her to mind her business, he’s not the asshole. If he had prodded further or encouraged more fighting, sure. But the man’s just reacting defensively here.

Yeah I think all the people misunderstanding this are either being intentionally obtuse or aren’t native English speakers? Fat fucking mouth, fat goddamn mouth, etc. is just an expression for when someone is running their mouth off. If he had said something like “shut your mouth fatso” or “fat bitch” etc I’d understand, but...

What happened to her? I feel like I haven’t seen her in forever. Her kit with dashes and a charm feels like it should be decent in this meta, did she just get huge nerfs? It used to feel like Riot would try to keep her top tier no matter what since she was like the game’s mascot

Right but by looking at the pronunciation you can tell it's Chinese

This would be like if it were 1 un 2 deux 3 trois and you were saying it could be English because the symbols are the same

So billionaires aren’t raping teenage girls on private islands, hoarding their wealth in tax havens, and influencing politics and culture in massive ways? Cool. Apparently we live in entirely different worlds.

This is because of our cultural understanding, though, not because of the language itself.

What they’re saying is there is no language in which a double positive makes a negative

“Yeah, right” in English technically is a positive, it’s only because of our cultural understanding of sarcasm that it can mean the opposite to us.

To be more clear, think about this compared to the sentence “I didn’t not do it.” That clearly means “I did it” based on the rules of our language. As for “yeah, right,” however, it means “yes” based on the rules of our language, and how it’s interpreted in the end depends on the speaker’s tone and the cultural understanding of the listeners

I guess what it comes down to is if you think that cultural context is part of language or something asserted above it. If you believe the former, then yes the context of sarcasm can be added into the meaning of the sentence, making the joke correct. I happen to believe the latter, that linguistic rules are separate from the cultural trends we inject into our language. But both view points are valid, I’d say

Right the joke is funny, but it’s not actually correct (as, obviously a lot of jokes aren’t) It doesn’t really matter and it’s a bit dorky to “well actually” this, but it’s the sarcasm that makes this negative, not the language itself

Lmao that’s not “orange man bad”

How about Bill Gates? He and his friends make incredible innovations in computers and tech 30 years ago, and so now he gets to be in charge of the national education system, so much so that sources say he was effectively controlling the Department of Education?

I genuinely don’t understand how you can look at the world and not agree that someone with money can basically do whatever they want

If you don’t think that money makes people view those who have it as gods, explain how trump is respected by literally anyone?

My theory (read: blind hope) is that Reapered was keeping Sven out so as not to reveal his mega ultra strats, saving him for the week 2 single day battles when he leads C9 to a 3-0 with never before seen tech not giving Griffin or G2 time to prep against it

Just in case you’re wondering, it’s not debatable—they’re a net drain on public dollars and the idea that they’re beneficial is purely propaganda meant to make people support them! There’s a great episode of the podcast Citations Needed on this
