These look so much better than what the show actually was.

You misspelled “hysterical”.

What kind of tea? I hope it’s a nice roasted oolong.

Me too. More licking than nibbling, though.

Huh. Interesting. Do you know any WWII scholars who will back you up on this?

They didn’t use the Roman alphabet. They used hieroglyphs. The Spanish were the ones who came up with that spelling.

Now, why did the Spanish decide that X should make a “sh” sound? I don’t know, but I can guess. I don’t think that the “sh” sound is present in Spanish, so they decided to use a letter that they didn’t use much (or at all) to represent it: X. But in English, X inside of a word makes a “ks” sound, so when the word was read by English speakers, they said “acks-oh-lawtl”.

I just pulled that out of my ass, though.

ETA: Okay, did a little research. It looks like the letter X is used in Spanish, and it used to have a “sh” sound, but it changed over time.

Sometimes when a word gets borrowed from another language, the pronunciation comes along, too. Sometimes not. Every dictionary here says we aren’t using the Nahuatl pronunciation. It isn’t a thing, no matter what some guy on YouTube is saying.

Not in English it ain’t.

Who is the threadiverse’s first?

My anus is bleeding!

I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.

I found learning Linux much more fun, because I didn’t have to fight with the computer on every damned thing.

my time on this earth is finite (for now)

Let me know when you get that immortality hack working!

This is all subconscious shit that marketers have to deal with. There’s a good article about it here. What bothers me is not knowing what unconscious biases like this that I have.

One thing that I do is randomly select varieties of things that I buy (wrt color, scent, etc.) I can’t think of a time that I’ve ever regretted doing that.

The whole “long hair = gay” thing is such weird boomer shit. It’s right up there with believing that gay men wear dresses and makeup.

It’s not even 21st century homophobia. It’s like something out of the 1950s.

Speaking as a Satanist: we don’t believe in Heaven, Hell, or an afterlife, so we’re very much anti-apocalypse. This world is the only one we’ve got, so we don’t want it to end.

The only good that prayer can do is as a mindfulness exercise, and there aren’t any shortcuts for those.

So that’s what those are for? That’s like saying “I don’t need to go running. Look, I can just draw a stick figure in this book, flip the pages, and he runs for me!”

That thing would make me want to start praying if it’s very existence didn’t prove that there was no god.

What’s wrong with effective altruism?
