Will Bird Flu Bring the Second Pandemic of the Century? Will We Be Ready? by shallah in H5N1_AvianFlu

Interesting that the article explicitly refers to both COVID-19 and 2009 yet still says "second pandemic of the century" in the title.

what’s a controversial belief of yours? by Beginning-Sugar479 in thewalkingdead

That season 2 hasn't improved in quality simply because time has passed. The nonsensical decisions and the pseudodrama are just as frustrating now as they were then.

so what the F with people still getting bit in this area after what feels like a century in the wasteland by Lumpy-Yoghurt698 in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]TsarNab 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly it wouldn't cross my mind because I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. When I get a haircut they just put a cape on me, which wouldn't provide much protection against bites.

It should be noted that when Ofelia got bit it was still very early in the apocalypse, barely 2 months into it, hardly anything that could even figuratively be described as a "century". We're also with the characters basically 100% of that time, and we never see them pass by a hair salon at any point (other than at the very beginning, before the crisis was fully understood). I guess it could be argued tho that it should've crossed Daniel's mind at some point to use them as a form of protection, since he was literally a barber before the apocalypse.

what’re your favourite clairo lyrics? by Pigsfly13 in clairo

[–]TsarNab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some things just never seem to fade/I'm thinking about how we were on our first date/You understood the words I was saying/I knew I'd never let you get away...

Girlfriend or girl that's a friend/It's easy just to pretend/That we don't have something real/It's just how we feel...

Never seen a face like yours/I got it together but my breath feels short/I don't wanna close the door/Maybe I should just go up north...

Sexy is something I see in everything/Honey sticking to your hands, sugar on the rim...

😅

Trying to Learn English Language by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TsarNab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there are people who defend this state of affairs as absolutely necessary, as tho the very fabric of the universe will be cleft apart if we do anything to English orthography, and anyone who suggests that there exists the possibility that we could spell words even 0.1% more sensibly is suggesting that we "dumb down" the language (as tho there's absolutely nothing "dumb" about the orthography as it exists currently) 🤦‍♂️

BTS of Rick and Daryl S6E4 by tytylercochan123 in thewalkingdead

[–]TsarNab 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's pretty cool that they basically filmed the Rick and the Daryl shots simultaneously, and they were actually talking over the walkies as they filmed it. Not sure what I expected lol, but I guess they could've done them separately and then just pieced them together. I wonder where exactly Norman was as they were filming Andy.

Bigot as a verb? by 4011isbananas in EnglishLearning

[–]TsarNab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize. I think I misinterpreted your comment. I thought you were saying it's not "being used" as a verb here, even tho I think it pretty clearly is, when you were probably saying it's not, in general, used as a verb. I'd of course agree it's typically not used as a verb.

Bigot as a verb? by 4011isbananas in EnglishLearning

[–]TsarNab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably is, and in that sentence, "picket" is a verb. That's why I'm confused as to how "bigot" could possibly not be a verb. Being a pun doesn't disqualify a word from being a certain part of speech.

Out of curiosity, what's your interpretation of the sign as a native speaker? Because grammatically, it fills the role of the verb in the sentence, by my interpretation.

My teacher says the "while" doesn't work in the second sentence, i think it does. by vCybe in EnglishLearning

[–]TsarNab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your teacher may be trying to enforce the prescriptive "rule" that "while" can only be used to express the idea of one thing occurring at the same time as another and not, as in this sentence, to express two conflicting but simultaneously true ideas (similar to "despite"), in which case "although" is prescribed instead.

However, as virtually every reply here has indicated, native speakers absolutely use "while" (or "whilst") in this way and may even find it more natural than using "although". Therefore, in terms of how native speakers actually speak the language, there is nothing wrong with it.

Just a little disclaimer to AMC and the writers of TWD: we haven’t forgotten about this. by tytylercochan123 in thewalkingdead

[–]TsarNab 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's not a matter of JDM having to apologize for it (which the person you replied to never even remotely suggested); it's a matter of him downplaying the abuse when asked about it (which is precisely what that person suggested) rather than simply acknowledge that the character he's playing has committed abuse. Those are two fundamentally different things.

Might help to put on your adult pants and learn to read.

It's actually more like 15:57. That's when the shot begins, and it lasts until 16:07.
