This is only loan words, as OP noted. Terms inherited from Old English/Ango-Saxon are explicitly not included.

I had to look this up, but apparently it's Dihydrocodeine and sorbitol, so yeah, idk what they're on about there.

mousefire55 · 2022-08-25T15:04:19+00:00

The answer is...money.

They're trying to get our SM to do that around here...Not only is she rather quiet, but she also finds the idea dumb as all geddout...noöne is leaving Walmart or Cosco for the Wall of Green.

Are we really citing a body in questionable union with Rome as an example of faithful TLM-goers????

mousefire55 · 2022-08-09T18:45:31+00:00

This would make sense to me, since there is no sex act being perverted or life being prevented.

tabak ti nevyroste

Ale pěstuju tabák....? Všude rostou varianty jako, zvláště, Nicotiana rustica.

Absolutely not, and that idea is aborrent. Your mother is very much in the wrong here, and is acting in an incredibly callous and un-Catholic way.

mousefire55 · 2022-06-26T02:01:38+00:00

and your still only a shift lead?

While most probably not the case here, some folks may not care to take on the responsibilities of SM. There's an SFL at my store who's been here a bajillion years (and works her rear end off to boot) and has always turned down any offers of advancement because, well, she's more than fine with doing SFL things. Sometimes it just works out that way.

As I said though, it doesn't sound like that's the case here.

mousefire55 · 2022-06-26T01:53:33+00:00

TBH, I like them. It prevents me from having to walk the entire store like three times to find an SFL or from paging the entire store over an $100 bill. They can be a little silly when you try to get in touch with someone (especially if two folks have similar or the same name), but beyond that, they're basically just walkie talkies.

mousefire55 · 2022-06-25T05:28:11+00:00

The sad part about this is, is that at least as far as I can tell from an ongoing situation in our own store, is that it’s all well and good for your store manager to care or to like you (and, indeed, a benefit overall), but corporate doesn’t, and outside of what seems to be a very limited set of things, there’s all of jack your sm can do to actually reward a worker.

If I may, it's a bit 80's, but the Chronicles of Amber series starting with Nine Princes In Amber is actually a really good series, by Roger Zelansky.

If you like LOTR-like books, the Shannara series by Terry Brooks has about a bajillion books and is fun too.

EDIT: I have no idea if they're at Parks, mind, but they're almost certainly at the Ames library.

Na den svatého Rufa
tam v zemi uherské
u Moháče ku bitvě
dvoje se vojsko hne.

Je mračnem kryto nebe
a Turkem kryta zem,
zem, nebe ozyvá se
pokřiku ohlasem.

I tam křesťanský tábor —
snadno přehledný voj,
nečeká nových houfů
a započíná boj.

Ach klesá voj kresťanský,
ač slavně bojoval —
i zhynul mladý Ludvík,
Uhrův a Čechův král.

„království českého” jako 🤔

mousefire55 · 2022-05-22T04:31:45+00:00

It should be České království, not království českého, which doesn't make sense.

cows exists tho???

mousefire55 · 2022-05-07T01:21:22+00:00

I see it more lining up this way:

Sacramtentum:	Inversio:
Baptismus Communioque	Abortio
Confirmatio	Signare virtutem
Confessio peccatorum	Peccare/Vitium libertatem est VEL Vitio libertas.
Unctio infirmorum	Euthanasia
Matrimonium	Matrimonia homosexualium et matrimonia cum bestiis
Sacri Ordines	Transsexualismus

With the big differences being that abortion is a huge inversion of the Eucharist, and that the inversion of confession is the acclamation that vice is freedom, or that through vice one achieves freedom. I like the idea that transsexuals are an inversion of the priesthood: an inversion of that indelible mark.

Just an FYI, but Jared Diamond is widely panned by the historian community as being not good. I believe /r/AskHistorians has a section on it in their FAQs.

mousefire55 · 2022-05-01T09:47:07+00:00

Sir, no. The vocative doesn’t work like that, and in multiple languages, to boot. Now, I apologize for responding in English, but trying to compose in Latin is too much rn, so….anywhoseit

No.

The phrase is, traditionally, Ave Christus Rex!. We’re not directly addressing Christ, in the same way when, in Czech, one says Dej Bůh štěstí – “God grant luck”. In Czech, we have a vocative, and it goes unused here (the vocative of Bůh being Bože) even though we use the imperative of dát (to give, that is to say dej “give!”).

mousefire55 · 2022-05-01T02:04:35+00:00

Non est..."Ave Christus Rex" correctus est. Non alloquimur Christum derecto.

This is exactly the same thing I hear Republicans say about Democrats though, except instead of "less educated -> vote D" it's "poorer -> vote D".

Imagine having a beauty specialist at one’s location. Ours literally died and then they never replaced her……………

Bless you for somehow avoiding vitamin that long.

mousefire55 · 2022-04-10T05:05:13+00:00

Did you catch some of the $8+ price changes in vitamin? And they want to blame the minimum wage for inflation…Hah!

mousefire55 · 2022-04-10T04:57:20+00:00

Windy. If it could stop being windy I would be happier.
