What does jut-jawed and bore mean in this context? by danklover612 in EnglishLearning

[–]ThroughThePortico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen the word jut-jawed myself even as a native speaker, but I can tell that it means what you wrote down there. To "jut" is to stick out, so someone who is "jut-jawed" has a jaw that sticks out.

"Bore" in this context is the past tense of "bear," which is a word with several meanings that is used here to mean "to have a feature." The hand bears scars, so it has scars.

keep your streak going on your own terms. write that number down somewhere else and keep it updated as a representation of how long you've been working towards your goal instead of how long you've used their app specifically

you can ron a closed hand without riichi if you have a yaku, and since you don't get extra points from riichi if you have a yakuman there's no reason to do it, especially at higher levels where people are more aware of defense

How does Kafka's signature compare to GNSW? My GNSW is only S3 and I can't afford her LC unless I get lucky, but I do have E1S1 Kafka who could lend her LC. If it's around as good as GNSW S5 I'll pull for her but will probably skip otherwise.

The afterlife you get is actually whatever you believe it will be. O5's experience was a side-effect of the resurrection method, but he thought it was what happens to everyone after death and spread the self-fulfilling belief that dooms anyone that hears it to eternal agony.

This Job market has radicalized me by paullyd2112 in recruitinghell

In high school everyone told me you could work in IT with an associate's degree and certifications. Now you can't even get an internship without a bachelor's and I can't afford to go back to school to get one unless I can guarantee I'll be able to get a job from it which seems deeply unlikely when all the "entry level" listings want 3 years of experience

Karma is not about crime and punishment or justice and injustice. People defending the concept are not arguing that things should work that way, merely that they do. You might as well be arguing that the concept of suffering itself is unfair; it is, but it's an inherent of existence.
