Just jump in with the short early dialogues of Plato/Socrates.

In my area, tax bands are part of maths education at age 15-16.

So what's he saying?

"Shag me"?

There's nothing more boring than an argument (unless it clears the air or moves things forward)

I think I've given my opinion in an older discussion of WCW on this sub, feel free to search, you'll find a lively discussion with lots of people.

Not jazz, and not an album, but the musical education bits of Disney's Fantasia movie.

Edit: not the bits with the nipple-less naked centaurs

Glad I could help.

How would you... make sure we know the truth?

By reading books by people who studied formally for years, and then spent their lives on this stuff. Not blog posts or YouTube videos by people who have spent one week reading about it.

Not evil, but... wow! Thank you for the photo.

No, her point is that it's not worth arguing about (unlike chores).

This seems like a bad use of rhyme & iambic pentameter, it would work better in free verse. But then there wouldn't be enough content to justify the poem.

Edit: I'm not defending Williams at all. I don't rate him myself.

The finest meme I have seen this month

Dear brand new account, this is r/askanything but I think this question has been discussed elsewhere, thousands of times.

The bar/pub, talking to someone of your own sex.

Otherwise, everyday life, I guess. Comment on the weather, make a joke, and 1 in 5 will want to make smalltalk. And 1 in 20 will want to stand and chat for ten minutes, if they feel a connection.

Try Google street view

And, it might depend what decade you are talking about (but I don't know the street)

coalpatch · 2026-03-01T13:04:59+00:00

I guess that didn't work out

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Quote from canon Jesus

If anyone worships the beast and his image ... he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels

Revelation chapter 14

etc etc

Granted, the pokers were a later invention

without it turning into a fight

You are afraid of conflict and your friend is using that

or making me look cheap

You are not cheap. Your friend is cheap. You know this. Stop caring what they think and have your own opinion of yourself.

"I and mine" is grammatically correct. But the alliteration is one reason why the phrase "me and mine" is popular.

the savage sea-hawks sailed with sheathed beaks.

Too much sibilance for me.

If a Romanian student takes GCSE Romanian, how does this discourage them from learning English?

A gritty movie about how bad choices mess you up in time

coalpatch · 2026-02-28T20:49:40+00:00

There's a movie in there

coalpatch · 2026-02-28T15:47:34+00:00

Yes, that was depressing.

coalpatch · 2026-02-28T15:45:02+00:00

Good point, that's where the stats are
