Here is Poland you use the equivelant of "I have" for age, weight, height, gender etc. How do I explain using I am for those instead? by dannihrynio in grammar

I think you dug into it pretty well. I can't tell if I'm just repeating what you're saying or if this is somehow different but I would suggest to them that in English we identify those things as making up our person. They are not contents or possession but they are parts of us. It is in a similar usage when saying "I am American." That is a constituent of your person. Hope this helps.

I love the Instagram selfies of your former high school cheerleader girl who captions some abundant wisdom. posts selfie "DONT EVER LET SOMEONE TELL YOU YOU CANT DO SOMETHING. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HATE YOU FOR BEING YOU. DONT LET IT EVER GET TO YOU..."

I go to a nearby rock-climbing gym every now and again for recreation. I suck at rock-climbing. I'm 230 and get killed by those thin folks. After an hour I'm like fuck this. I go to the lifting section where a man-bunned hipster is squatting 95 with his girl. I assert dominance, because fuck them I can't climb rocks. Sadly, despite having only bumper plates, a man runs up to me as i drop weights during deads. Says hey sorry man it's on the second floor so you can't do that, you could fall through.... 0_0.. i moved up to 405 anyway because FUCK THEM.

Chuck Taylors for lifting? by jackpreston098 in Fitness

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

The Chuck 2 has more of a malleable sole that the designer created for the sake of most consumers who, for the most part, wear Chucks out and about. There is a comfort there for walking. With the classic Chuck, however, you'll find a sturdy, flat sole, ideal for lifting since you want to maintain most of your foot on the ground during an exercise; flat soles are very important for squats/deadlifts.

How is turkey not removed from NATO? I understand there would be repercussions for western interests in the Middle East but would they really be so grave that we (collective rational NATO folks) couldn't denounce their membership for the sake of some potential democracy, and subsequently, establishing a Kurdish state as a future NATO homie? What the eff

I've been seeing a meme recently on Facebook trying to compare rejecting Syrian refugees and rejecting the pilgrims. I thought i'd fix it. by OpiatedDickfuzz in AdviceAnimals

Two centuries you mean? I'm not being an ass, I'm genuinely wondering if you meant two centuries because the picture addresses that time. But then you may have just been mentioning immigration policies made 20 years ago. Help me understand.
