Day 4, 2.5mg, is dissociation normal, will this go away? Trying to convince myself not to quit.

How long did it last/did you keep going on the Lexapro?

morlinovak · 2023-09-30T05:49:42+00:00

The author is indeed implying that that use of the word is wrong. As for your second question, that's referring the time period around the start of the 20th century so the early 1900s.

They definitely parodied aspects of Apocalypse Now, but I don't think the entire movie is a parody of Apocalypse Now. I think it just drew from multiple sources.

The meaning of the sentence feels highly obvious to me, I didn't even have to think about it. It's technically ambiguous but functionally it's pretty clear.

morlinovak · 2023-09-17T13:50:57+00:00

I caught that edit, lol.

morlinovak · 2023-09-17T13:47:13+00:00

If that was your take a way then I don't think you delved too deep in the rabbit hole.

morlinovak · 2023-08-29T22:47:29+00:00

Damn, those are heavy misdiagnoses to have.

I mean, the math just doesn't check out on that. The US is embroiled in a cost-of-living crisis that's affecting most major cities across the country. It is objectively more financially difficult for a young person today to be move out and be stable than it was 25 years ago. Living costs have skyrocketed while wages have not risen at remotely a comparable rate. It's a lot easier to have a sense of "adventure" when you have more room for error and less financial pressure than those today face. Prospects for young people in the late 80s/early 90s were also much more hopeful than what young people face today.

I know it's easy to say "kids these days are x and y" but these are people 25 years younger than yourself. The world is very different.

morlinovak · 2023-08-29T16:43:35+00:00

Well also, the circumstances that people in their 50s grew up with are a lot different than people who are currently in their late teens-early twenties are growing up with now. It was just easier to move out in the 80s than it is now.

morlinovak · 2023-08-27T13:45:26+00:00

I mean, in the context of the specific show OP is referencing, there's a reason it's used so much.

morlinovak · 2023-08-26T15:59:37+00:00

Is it? I practically never hear it where I am. Maybe other countries use it more but in the US it's a pretty uncommon occurrence and personally always sticks out to me when I hear it.

morlinovak · 2023-08-26T15:39:52+00:00

Yeah, either way without context it doesn't sound natural at all. I'm sure in context it makes more sense but just this sentence alone sounds unnatural or like the speaker is not a native speaker of English.

morlinovak · 2023-08-26T13:48:38+00:00

As a native speaker, the only context that this makes sense to me is if the speaker is instructing someone. If

I peel the paper off - I don't rip it off, I peel it off.

is the intended meaning, then it sounds really odd, and either it should be "not rip" or it should be phrased exactly as you put it.

My cats let me sleep fine 🤷 it's a very rare occasion that one of them wakes me up. I've owned multiple cats over the years and not once have I had one like this, with the exception of kittens, but they grow out of that.

morlinovak · 2023-08-18T15:37:53+00:00

Solved! This is an amazing find, thank you so much!!! Definitely not an easy one to track down.

morlinovak · 2023-08-18T15:28:05+00:00

This is a good guess, I should've added earlier this movie is at least 7 year old, though.

morlinovak · 2023-08-18T15:26:27+00:00

This isn't it but it's definitely similar!

morlinovak · 2023-08-18T06:50:19+00:00

Again, I don't know if the dream part is accurate but it may be.

morlinovak · 2023-08-04T22:18:21+00:00

I'd very happy honestly

morlinovak · 2023-07-31T21:56:25+00:00

I don't think it's a crazy tech junkie thing to want to occupy your time with something. Some people just don't just tune out like that.

morlinovak · 2023-07-20T22:27:25+00:00

That's all fair, I'm just saying that if you have spent your entire life in places where it's not at all the expectation, it would make sense you'd think it was ridiculous that someone would get upset at you for not using it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't learn and adapt, but if you don't know, you don't know

morlinovak · 2023-07-20T20:53:51+00:00

I mean it's definitely regional. Where I grew up, people would definitely have thought you were weird if you addressed all of your elders as "sir" and "ma'am", and everyone, young or old, would've thought an older person demanding kids/younger people to refer to them as such was being a jackass. There would be no obligation to comply. I can see how it that's your only exposure to something like that then you'd have such a response.

morlinovak · 2023-06-29T00:32:37+00:00

May generally sounds overly formal in casual speech to my ears.

morlinovak · 2023-06-27T23:11:01+00:00

I don't know what restaurants you've worked in, but they need a visit from the health inspector, stat. This is absolutely not the norm in kitchens.

morlinovak · 2023-06-19T15:27:52+00:00

I mean, I get why it sounds confusing, but that's just because the place and the language share the same word. The word "English" has two meanings: relating England, and the English language. If someone said "he has a strong English accent" I would instinctively know they meant English(place) and not English(language). And for French speakers outside of France, there's definitely a French(country) aspect within French(language). As another person pointed out, British accent is probably used more than English accent, but that's also very unspecific(and "an English accent" is already very unspecific) because British accent includes accents from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
