I hope you wear the velcro shoes for your own sake

I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

I mean I’m like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I’m not sure if the concept of “higher order vibes” is itself satire or not

But he’s speaking too clearly and enunciating too well

I could understand mmmmmaaaaayyyybe like 70% (if we’re being generous, and we are, aren’t we?) of what the dude in that video was saying.

Regional accents can be really hard for me to understand sometimes, but I still love hearing them. The “standard American” accent and RP get so boring

Thanks for the explanation! I really had no idea about any of this.

After listening to the interview on that Excursion Around The Bay video I got interested in hearing more of the accent so I went and dug up more videos and ran into this https://youtu.be/yl9hQpG_c34

That accent is a delight. It’s so interesting.

Can someone explain this to a dirty Yuropean peasant like me?

The hell did you want me to call it then? “Military service” is a completely common expression to use, and it applies whether we like what they’re doing or not.

And before you get any bright ideas: no, I’m not American and no, I don’t support what their military does. This kind of completely pointless semantic wankery just really activates my almonds

Both world wars look like “clear lines” to you after the fact. Of course you can just point at, say, Ferdinand getting assassinated and go “yeah that’s what started WW I” but do you think anyone at that time thought “yup that’s going to start the mother of all wars”?

As others have pointed out they absolutely didn’t look like it when they were kicking off.

But don’t expect any medical treatment after your service if you’re a Democrat or unmarried: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans

Imagine my utter shock.

I’ll be surprised once the Russians actually manage to do something right

Edit:

Unlike in the West, the use of AI in Russian online encyclopedias hasn’t sparked much debate among editors — at least not publicly.

Gee wonder why that is

Oh it’s definitely leftists in general

Humanity is the bane of humanity

Hanlon’s Razor is all well and good as a heuristic, but tends to lead to people discounting malice much too often. Also, I really didn’t say we were “under attack”

if there’s an accident, the parents will be fined and the scooter confiscated.

Yeah, but that’s post hoc enforcement

I absolutely don’t know, but my guess would be spambots or somesuch

Finland; our police force is already really overextended and generally doesn’t give a shit about small stuff like this.

Good luck enforcing that shit

You should stop using the PowerCore 10000 ‘immediately’

Engadget “journalists” don’t know how to use quotes

Edit: it’s probably I who doesn’t know how to use quotes

(is great (oh (really (like-p lisp you))))
