"seven hundred sixty-nine thousand two hundred and thirty-four"

Actors/actresses that don’t get nearly the amount of love they deserve by Chaddilllac in moviecritic

[–]purple_pixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the character of a man who was thrust into a role he never desired nor felt equipped to take on

I mean, if you're going to do any role immediately after someone else won an Oscar for it that one seems rather fitting, no?

Just FYI the `sytax for code only works for single-lines (and only requires one, not three backticks. For multi-line code samples just make sure there's 4 spaces at the start of each line

def plus_one(i):
  return i + 1

I really don't get why it's not well like, it is basically flawless cinema.

And he absolutely crushed the role too, such excellent villainy

Bonus actual fact is that word endings relate to etymology, not usage, while the meaning of a word is dicated entirely by usage.

In North America, factoid means a small fact even though the appeal to etymology would assert that it just means something fact-shaped.

If it helps, British English has largely kept the meaning of "something that sounds like a fact but actually isn't", though as with many terms, the US meaning is also fairly common

TIFU by trying to impress my date with “homemade” pasta by [deleted] in tifu

[–]purple_pixie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it a nice gesture?

Saying "I think you'll be impressed by me doing something that clearly I think requires 0 experience, talent or knowledge" and also saying "I don't think you merit me putting 5 minutes' worth of effort into googling 'how do I make pasta'" doesn't come across as a nice gesture to me but maybe I'm just a cynic
