The cows are headed to the horse and orphan grinder, I guess. Sad times.

One missing point:

git stash $NAME lets you name a stash, and then you also can pop with that name to restore.

Super useful if you’re doing something with plotting or presenting data and you want to try a few easy variants to see what you like most. I don’t use it all the time but it’s good to know.

You unfortunately can’t get everyone no matter how good the education system is. Especially if you live in a state like Indiana where it’s trendy to give money to private and charter schools instead of public school.

Well, she did have a brother who stopped being technically black I guess…

Bro I can’t finish getting myself into it

To uh

…

Do an inside job.

😬

Holy shit that’s a sick burn

Lesser evil pot, meet lesser evil kettle.

I’m fairness, I think after Ratzinger they did end up with the lesser evil. Still very pot and kettle though.

At the first read, I assumed he would buy and gift a child and I can’t decide if that’s better or worse.

Cheating is not the first place I would go. It’s not impossible, but it’s not most probable either. It’s not a suspicious item, even if it’s marginally unusual. It reads like you’ve got deeper issues, and apparently a spare power strip now.

NVV I like it and I’ve liked your approach so far.

Is there a way to do this in such a way that hostility is minimized? Or is that an unfair ask? I’m interested in watching and learning, but a “fuck your feelings carnist” situation is gonna pucker my butthole. I’d like to hear from actual people walking the walk, but I don’t prefer spit in my eye to get it.

You found a power strip?

It’s weird to be worked up about, and it’s weirder to not fess up to a specialty power strip. It sounds like you got some shit going on, but it’s a power strip, not a box of condoms. Like, what’s the thought process here? She cheated before, so now the power strip is clear evidence of an evolved relationship where multiple specialty power tools, a projector, and a washer/dryer are being used… rendering your relationship moot? And then you call family members to probe about the appearance of a mystery outlet splitter?

I’ve got weird shit I forgot I ordered on Amazon around the house. Some of it I’ve left in the car and forgot. This doesn’t seem like a “blow the relationship” smoking gun to me. But if your trust is fucked up, I mean deal with that instead and stick to it or don’t. I wouldn’t choose a mystery power strip as the lynch pin of that discussion though.

I know exactly the person you’re talking about. He deleted several of my good faith comments just because he could. I didn’t have to block at least: I reposted the deleted comments until I caught a ban. Small victories.

I’ll give a watch when the holiday weekend is over, probably not great content for my 2 kids under 4.

Favorite Ethiopian dish? Been wanting to try making something in that vein.

Thank you much for the verbose reply. I think I have misunderstood the concept of veganism up until this point, conflating its fundamentals with PBD. It seems like the PBD is actually a byproduct of the concept of veganism rather than the starting premise.

That being said, I don’t think I can engage with the “vegan community” in a way that is satisfying to either party. I grew up eating an animal protein every meal, but I don’t feel like that’s really necessary or beneficial in the long run. There are lots of good reasons to go PBD, but I’m looking at it like alcohol: I enjoy it, but I don’t need to have some every single day. Cutting back (or out) is objectively good, but I’m just not interested in completely removing animal protein from my life. Maybe for that reason, a key problem I have getting comfortable in a PBD is I don’t want to eat plants pretending to be meat or dairy or cheese: the ones that I have had are like if I described to a scientist what gas station cheese / butter tastes and feels like. I would rather eat plant dishes that are tasty and nutritious in their own right without a supplement sprinkle / other ingredients pretending to be eggs or milk or what have you.

It’s not easy to get started building a repertoire of meals, but you’ve at least given some good tips besides letting me know I’m looking in the wrong place / barking up the wrong tree.

I will reread what you wrote again tomorrow.

Maybe this isn’t the place for this discussion, but why be this way? Is it because you feel like this is the treatment you get around the rest of lemmy or the rest of the world? Is the vegan day-to-day so bad that you need a place you can use a made up pseudo-slur about the majority of the population to other like-minded folks?

I could be convinced to change my diet, but it’s not even possible to engage a vegan where they are (vegan subs) to ask honest questions unless I happen into an unrelated comment chain. I’m never going to subscribe to the vegan religion, but from the perspective of personal health I am interested in the principles and the “how to”.

This is a great hook post, and unlike reddit this stuff frequently bubbles to the top of “all” so you’re getting traffic from people like me. Unfortunately it seems like this kind of good post is the cheese in the mouse trap. It may have been you who specifically asked me to listen to vegans, I told you I wouldn’t because of the vitriol. I’m not asking you to change, but I am asking why you feel like you do.

True fact.

There ARE two "R"s in strawberry.

There’s also a third one, but you can’t have three without having two.

So you understood most of what I meant, but we missed slightly. I agree that irregular verbs might be misconjugated or that they may tend back toward regular conjugations (see for example “to plead” in the legal sense, or “to hang” in the execution sense), but I specifically meant mismatched count. As a stickler, I would sometimes put lack of use of subjunctive or adding it unnecessarily (though the second is pretty uncommon) in the realm of a mistake but that could be because I like it and hate to see it fall out of use.

Also yes that’s what I was meaning for indirect and direct object pronouns (to/for whom vs who, or maybe more simply him/her/me vs he/she/I). Here you could also include “myself” or “themselves” or the slightly less natural sounding “themself”. I was trying to craft an example of creating a misunderstanding in English but it didn’t work as well as it does in Spanish for example where you can accidentally create reflexive verbs with a different meaning. I suppose though you are right: these are not mistakes a native speaker can really make because they have the knowledge that the word is changing.

For countability, I assume you mean the question of less vs fewer, and when you might pluralize words like ”water" and when you don’t. That is indeed an interesting topic.

Prestige dialects are not an example of a direction I would like to go, but as a counter I really appreciate that French DOES have the French academy to decide what is proper and what is not.

Im an American, I only speak one language natively because there’s not exactly a variety of spoken languages in the Midwest. Since high school though I’ve been “collecting” languages though and am passably conversant in a few. My wife’s extended family is all in France so French has been an important skill to develop. For me, the fact is that “deviations” from the book usually result in losing track of the meaning or losing track of the conversation. English is already hard enough without adding even more irregularity, so I tend to lean in on being precise and I think it’s a worthwhile effort. It is a real source of stress when the shoe is on the other foot.
