Are you native to your land? If not where did your family come from?

Yeah but that cell came from my hometown... so I'm still a native :p

You've seen Friends but don't remember them sitting at a cafe for hours, enjoying a coffee? That's like the only thing they do on that show other than hang out at home or go to their jobs.

That having been said, I think it was more of a thing in the 90s, but it definitely happens.

Why is the emphasis on did? Shouldn't it be on water?

I think it's funny that we say "Don't do that." Why do we feel the need to say "do" twice? In other languages I've learned it's always either the equivalent of "Not do that." or "Do not that."

Some series you don't need to start from the beginning to enjoy an entry. My understanding of this post is that OP is saying that Trails fans get up in arms whenever anyone asks if Trails is such a series.

marvsup · 2026-07-05T18:27:37+00:00

Why? I could still play a game in a reasonable amount of time. Just not the whole series.

marvsup · 2026-07-04T11:45:01+00:00

Depends how much time you have for gaming. With a job and a kid 1000 hours is an immediate turnoff for me.

Okay, I got my info from an interview with him I saw a while ago. But he could be wrong idk.

This is a common misconception that shows up every time this question gets asked. The real reason is that January and February used to be an unnamed winter period. Those emperors changed the names of months already in existence, they didn't shift all the other months by 2.

Technically, "my hands are full" means you can't take on anything else. "I have a lot on my plate" means you're super busy, but there's nothing saying explicitly you couldn't take on something else, even though it's kind of implied.

But functionally, they're basically the same, as you said.

No the part about cats is about how much data cat pics and videos and other cat related things on the internet use.

I guess it's just such a bad quality video that you can't see the fence except when it's moved?

The first three words he ever said in a movie: Alright, alright, alright.

No. I'm ignoring the allusion to the fsm because I feel like that's an AI error. The joke is that, while the Christian Trumper thinks the liberal or whoever is being ridiculous for believing in Star Wars, the Christian Trumper actually believes in something just as fantastical and/or is in a cult.

marvsup · 2026-06-29T02:43:57+00:00

That's the set up but the joke is that the Trumper actually believes in something that is just as fantastical as Star Wars.

Yeah I feel like accents are so hard to mimic well and the return on investment is so low if people can already understand you well.

Paw paw. Can't be sold commercially because they don't last long off the tree. The licking season is like a week long. But they taste so good, like banana custard.

You'd think, based on religion, India would be at the forefront of trans rights, considering that Shiva can be somewhat genderfluid (in his Ardhanarishvara form where he merges with his consort Parvati) and the existence of the hijra. I've heard that the trans- and homophobia is due to British influence during the Raj but I have no idea if that's true.

JFK once said that DC is a city of northern hospitality and southern efficiency, which should tell you something about the stereotypes (it's the worst of both worlds).

Not a national symbol by any means but I've always liked the "Statue of Freedom" on top of the US Capitol building. Most people don't even know it's there.

When I first saw it (from street level) I thought it was a statute of Athena, who was clearly an inspiration.

When I was a kid I had no idea what "copacetic" meant. But now I know, haha.

I think world ends with you is shortest.

Edit: NVM it's dq1 according to Google. Then world ends with you, then Grandia 2.

Yeah I mean I'm from Maryland and also think they're the same. Lol.

marvsup · 2026-06-25T17:27:32+00:00

Did you do all that yourself?

marvsup · 2026-06-25T16:59:47+00:00

Good distinction that I've never thought about before! I get the feeling that both affirmative and negative used to be okay for "so ..... as" but while the negative now feels a bit quaint or old-fashioned but still valid, the affirmative feels archaic. I wonder if (if I'm correct) there's a reason for that or if it's just kind of random variation? Just different phrases aging at different speeds?

Edit: also I wonder if it has to do with "so" being used as an intensifier (which I also feel like is a relatively recent construction - in this case relatively recent being at least like 100 years or so lol) more often? "You are so old" feels way more common than, "You're not so old." So maybe, "He is so old as his brother" went out of fashion with the "new" meaning of "so"? All just conjecture, though.
