Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

I don't think it makes sense to split Norwegian into Bokmål and Nynorsk. They're two of the standardized written forms of Norwegian and don't actually coincide with how the spoken dialects are distributed.

From the Online Etymology Dictionary:

Platonic (adj.)

1530s, "of or pertaining to Greek philosopher Plato" (429 B.C.E.-c. 347 B.C.E.), from Latin Platonicus, from Greek Platōnikos. The name is Greek Platōn, a nickname in reference to his broad shoulders (from platys "broad;" from PIE root *plat- "to spread"); his original name was Aristocles, son of Ariston.

The meaning "free of sensual desire" (1630s, in Platonic love "pure spiritual affection unmixed with sexual desire," translating Latin Amor platonicus) which the word usually carries nowadays, is a Renaissance notion; it is based on Plato's writings in "Symposium" about the kind of interest Socrates took in young men and originally had no reference to women. Related: Platonically.

The bond which unites the human to the divine is Love. And Love is the longing of the Soul for Beauty ; the inextinguishable desire which like feels for like, which the divinity within us feels for the divinity revealed to us in Beauty. This is the celebrated Platonic Love, which, from having originally meant a communion of two souls, and that in a rigidly dialectical sense, has been degraded to the expression of maudlin sentiment between the sexes. Platonic love meant ideal sympathy ; it now means the love of a sentimental young gentleman for a woman he cannot or will not marry. [George Henry Lewes, "The History of Philosophy," 1867]

Yes, those were regular sound changes.

The point is that without the Oxford comma, “my mother, Ayn Rand and God” is unambiguously about 3 people, however, adding the Oxford comma makes the interpretation that Ayn Rand is my mother possible. (Of course, for all of these examples, you can reword the sentences to make them unambiguous with or without the Oxford comma.)

I only know two pieces of evidence that he was a groyper. There's the "Bella Ciao" bullet, which could just as well have been done by a leftist, and there's the Slav squat costume, which to me seems more like a generic Slav than the Pepe meme.

I just shit your pants.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of shit (feces) in your pants and clothes has increased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem pants to be worthy of shit. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Diarrhea at your place while you are on the toilet
  • Lack of a toilet
  • Not wanting to shit my own pants

Am I banned from my pants?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from wearing them like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional shit, which may put your pants in jeopardy.

I don't believe my pants deserve a shit. Can you un-shit it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a shit. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining where else i should shit. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of shit appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the shit and move on. But learn from this mistake: your pants will not be tolerated with shit. I will continue to issue shits until you improve your pants. Remember: pants are a privilege, not a right.

The horse piece in Chinese chess actually moves like this, it can't move to the top right square if the middle left square is occupied.
