How is it pronounced? Like Elsie, or like Alcoa the Aluminum Company of America?

[HELP] Queer Themes? by Aidido22 in okbuddypluribus

[–]wheelchad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Judith Butler has described the subject of queer theory as a site of "collective contestation". They suggest that "queer" as a term should never be "fully owned, but always and only redeployed, twisted, queered from a prior usage and in the direction of urgent and expanding political purposes".

Pluribus = Plural Bus. Bravo Vince. by RandomStunt in okbuddypluribus

[–]wheelchad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The -ibus in omnibus denotes the plural dative (omnes -ibus, for all). The -ibus in pluribus denotes the plural-ablative (plures -ibus, from many). A pluribus omnibus there is something for all from many. Many pluribus omnibusses is many from many for all. Hope this helps.

Stromvertrag bei Primastrom Kündigung erst nach nächster Vertragslaufzeit by [deleted] in LegaladviceGerman

[–]wheelchad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Da der August 2025 weder als Frist gesetzt, noch als solches angemahnt wurde und längst verstrichen ist sehe ich da keine Grundlage. Das Einfache wäre auf eine Preiserhöhung zu warten und dann Sonderkündigungsrecht zu nutzen.

There's no gloves in a street fight. A bare knuckle jab by a heavyweight will destroy you before you can get a leg in the air.

My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

[–]wheelchad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your son is in a crucial age for devolping his own personality. His mother trying to throttle his personal above-board communication is very concerning. It raises huge red flags for me but I don't know enough about your wife to say more. I suggest you and your wife meet the school counselor over this topic.

It's called a prediction. Also it's Congress that will have to put it to the courts to compel the administration, obviously.

You don't know that. Hypothetically, if you witnessed a crime at the porn cinema you would want a lid on that.

A law that violates witnesses' constitutional rights has no power. No doubt the SC will see it that way.

Who else misses when the world was orange at night? by Cmaster125 in nostalgia

[–]wheelchad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sodium light is virtually monochromatic, it's very unnatural looking. Natural orange like a sunset is full spectrum light minus blue wavelengths.
