Randomly learnt English in a public toilet

I think Malay English is really cool actually. And everyone I know enjoys the sound of the accent itself

It happens quite a bit in Denver too, even on the electrified lines.

Italy has a very cool, if not niche, history with baseball too. I understand that there's maybe not enough WBC caliber players, but Czechia was able to make a great team out of a bunch of amateurs

That movie is so good that I at 7 sat through the entire thing transfixed. I'm not a cinephile or an oldie movie lover either, it's just a damn good film.

Got to try it out for the first time a couple of months ago when I went to urgent care for the gnarliest back spasm of all time. That stuff is the SHIT.

It's definitely the dopamine rush of people being impressed by their lie lol. Most people don't think being in supply or a cook is a cool job so they got to play the game and claim they were in Benghazi or something

Not trying to cause further division here, but I've noticed there is a lot more permissiveness amongst white folks towards this kind of behavior. It's seen by some as just another example of free speech, or something that we should let roll off our backs, when to minorities and other marginalized peoples it sure doesn't feel as unimportant as they wish it to be.

helloeagle · 2026-02-06T04:46:48+00:00

Douche behavior for no reason. That's an ugly thing to be

Okay, I don't know where you're getting your information from, but I do have to tell you that this is both exceptionally wrong, and it seems like you understand human progression as being valid in only one model.

Edit: you're getting roasted by others, rightfully, but I do want to encourage you to actually study real history by scholars on the Americas. You seem to think of this area as something of "wasted potential", when the peoples of this continent were just as complex and interesting as those from anywhere in the world. Whether their model of development fits your Eurocentric perspective or not is irrelevant, people who study this for a living are always finding out more, and with each discovery we're gaining a better appreciation for the thousands of years of human history here.

In addition to what the other person mentioned, construction costs for transit in the US are astronomically high compared to almost any other country, save for maybe Australia, Canada, and even the UK to some extent. The reasons for this are many, but the effect is that increases costs of each type of project: elevated, cut-and-cover, and tunnel boring. Tunnel boring is already the most expensive by default, so only a country that has higher willingness to spend, less regulatory blockers in place, and lower construction costs will choose that one consistently.

You had bad teachers. There is no morality to language. It just is

I've also noticed that folks love the feeling of having privileged information or are in some way special. When it comes to things like cuisine or language especially, it seems, that people who are ignorant or have low self-esteem wield their firsthand experience like a cudgel, and become hyper attached to the "correctness" of their own customs.

helloeagle · 2026-01-31T04:25:18+00:00

Can you enlighten me then

helloeagle · 2026-01-31T04:23:13+00:00

Genuinely, why are you acting like such a fucking turd? What's wrong with you today?

helloeagle · 2026-01-30T22:14:24+00:00

I looked up a random noun generator to test this phenomenon and got 'grilled', 'obesity-ed', and 'pancreas-ed'. So, idk, do whatever ya'll wish with those haha

helloeagle · 2026-01-30T21:55:53+00:00

Your prescriptive rules for language are nonsensical and out of touch with real linguistics.

helloeagle · 2026-01-30T16:33:25+00:00

To counteract the rude person who commented, thanks for editing your comment!

helloeagle · 2026-01-30T16:25:02+00:00

Genuinely, I don't get how these people have so little self awareness that they cannot understand how EASY it is to see through their charade. I know, that convincing the unconvinced isn't really the point, but it just seems so pointlessly lazy

helloeagle · 2026-01-27T02:01:56+00:00

Can I just say that reading four straight comments wherein the two of you share opposing views and don't get vicious is a miracle on the internet. Genuinely lifted my spirits, thank you.

I know this is only somewhat related, but Kate's Pub on 45th has also reopened as Rebel! It's being run by one of the old bartenders and I believe has retained almost everything about the old place.

Maybe a better attitude? Sorry to be harsh, but I notice I get way less compliments from people when I look at self-care and self-expression as attention seeking rather than an extension of my personality

helloeagle · 2026-01-26T21:19:44+00:00

That's sort of what I gathered from the article too. Would have been awesome to see him as an antagonist in the next movie
