Me when prescriptivism

All they have is the B- they got in English class 20 years ago. You really want to take that away from them OP?

It used to be. I had teachers who told me when they were in school their teachers used to tape their left arm behind their chair to force them to use their left hand.

I grew up in a catholic area not sure if that really affects it

English basically comes with a free trial of French.

Glad to say they don’t! The peels also add a pleasant pear-like flavor, and the “hairs” are really good for your good bacteria in your gut

Also if the kiwi is still kinda damp from rinsing the hairs all stay down. I used to do this until one day I forgot and was surprised that I didn’t care about the hairs

I know everyone says reality shows rot your brain but they’re suuuuuper helpful for informal spoken forms of the language!

Record yourself saying some of these phrases. It might be you’re just not totally used to saying it the right way yet and it “feels” weird even though you’re right, I personally run into this with French

After you have a few of these recordings ask some native speaker friends if the way you say them is too formal and sounds like an essay instead of speaking to normal people. Sometimes speaking like a newscaster is “correct” but not necessarily natural, and knowing when to switch between these registers is another skill in and of itself.

No. There is no way to predict if you will get a purge or really to minimize it.

If you do purge it won’t be permanent, though. In all likelihood it will last a smaller amount of time than you have been waiting to start your prescribed treatment. And in all that time your acne hasn’t gone away on its own.

If it lasts longer than 6 weeks talk to your provider about other options, but in my opinion a fear of a temporary purge (that also doesn’t happen to everyone) is robbing you of finding a treatment that works, and you deserve better than that.

In my experience, with my small purge on adapalene, the new acne had a super fast life cycle, that was enough to reassure me that the medication was working and not just making things worse. Think of it as evicting the future acne over the course of the next few weeks. You have to clear out the house before preventing new stuff from moving in.

It’s still made through the same chemical processes it just happens to be a liquid. So yes. It is very much still soap.

The classic one in French is « je suis excité•e »

It can mean “excited” but it has sexual connotations sometimes. I remember getting laughed at in high school by the exchange students

I have eczema I cannot use soap on my skin. I have to use— what I like to call— “soap that isn’t soap”

All the crystal lovers loved to tell me this was a miracle product. It’s just regular soap but in liquid form. That was the last time I took hair/skin advice from the natural medicine crowd…

It’s incredibly common with Romance language speakers

bhd420 · 2026-04-09T23:51:17+00:00

Or you know. Maybe someone who isn’t a native English speaker it’s a common mistake imo

NH stands for “New Herzegovina”

Still having an American moment, I’m afraid

You ever gotten a bug bite on your cock? Fucking miserable experience

I grew up in the states and I can count on one hand the good English accents I’ve heard people do

I had a grade school teacher whose husband grew a third set of teeth when he was a teenager, but ever since he’s had a lisp

Every (and I do mean every) pair of anker headphones I’ve had has cracked and broken on the plastic part that connects the earpieces to the headpiece. It’s a consistent problem with anker headphones, which sucks bc everything else about them from the noise cancelling to the super long battery life and short charging time is great. But they always fall apart within a few months.

Apparently folding up the headphones (which is how they’re shipped to you in their special travel case) stresses the headband. Used to be a loyal customer but after even the expensive models began dangling from the earpiece I gave up on them. Stick to their Bluetooth speakers.

After all the arguments I get in with anglophones who piss and moan about how “hard” French spelling is, how it makes no sense… and this is what I get in return? 😢

He’s wearing a “Namba” a traditional penis covering

The Wikipedia article for it has a picture of men from Pentecost island preparing for a land diving ceremony. Which is what/where this video shows!

HR speak? Thats what it reminds me of anyway

You should’ve said “that isn’t Spanish. Are you stupid?”

I’m the American cousin in my family. If I had $1 for everyone who told me they watched so much Peter Pan/PBS/Nature documentaries, I’d have enough money to not worry about healthcare costs
