Kinda, but the thing this time is that they will change it f unilaterally rom their side, even if you specifically disabled this connectivity on your phone. So they want that data reallyyyyy badly. So even more important to not give it to them.

Now that you explained it, it seems kind of obvious, but I also just didn’t see it before. Thanks for explaining and good meme!

I think it’s rather to distinguish between fur as being understood from skinning the animal and using the resulting hide including the hair versus cutting the hair from the skin and receiving the single hair strands and using those strands in construction.

But just how I imagined it is meant, no idea if that is true.

Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.

But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.

Ok yes, then I agree. But deciding to stop a mass murderer has often a possible life ending consequence and I think most agree that it would still be the right way to act.

Refusing lawful orders comes with life-ending consequences.

Not even close to real? As far as I’m aware, death punishment is not what happened to any of those that refused during Vietnam or Afghanistan.

And also for a certain value of lawful I might add. Last I heard congress didn’t say the USA is going to war with Iran. Making it not exactly a war situation. Hey, now that you say it, suspiciously close to the last time a Republican president decided to play little dictator and fucked up the middle east. Strange how that keeps on happening.

Yeah it contributes to the discussion with the simple solution on how not to be spied on by your TV, in an admittedly patronising way.

Don’t worry, the game was rigged from the start: it’s mostly all just PayToWin bullshit!

The German city name Frankfurt isn’t unique. That’s why the cities often have an identifier. The biggest and most well known Frankfurt is located at the river Main and therefore called Frankfurt (Main). Main is also used as description in programming which is where the rest of the joke is coming from.

They probably meant fags as word for cigarettes

I scan over the descriptions to check for irregularities or significant identifiers. So your yellow lake would be noteworthy to me or if a person is described with long hair. I don’t mentally imagine a long hair person, but I try to remember it, so if later somebody sees a long haired person in the distance I know which character is referenced.

And yes if I don’t recognise anything noteworthy, I don’t make a mental note, it’s just a normal lake, nothing important to remember.

But that isn’t always working out for me. In Neverwhere the Marquis de Carabas is described as being pitch black. Which I fully didn’t get and so was wondering why all the fan art made him so black that you can’t recognise features. Because that was how he was described and I missed that important fact.

Considering your username I give you a pass, but still:

There have been many debates about the differentiation between vegetables and fruits. Genetic testing has mostly revealed it to be a human made distinction without any biological basis.

But I think your comment is the first time I see somebody trying to argue that pasta are vegetables.

Nah, notice how Foursome AND Fivesome have that F in there? Right in the beginning of the word. If you squint you can even saw that it is bold.

So OP is perfectly right while you are going confidently incorrect.

Gemma is wrong. Or at least I have never heard it as one combined word. As the examples themselves show, it is normally used as adjective+noun. And while you can combine it, I have never seen that till now.

And to OPs question: I don’t know any such word in the German language. It might be a regional thing or it might just be something Vonnegut invented himself.

Necessary was never a problem for me.

Immediately though… I thank the auto correct for that one each time. When it finally figures out what I mean from my input nonsense.

Might be, so better check like this user did:

Just checked my wife’s laptop. Local account, secure boot off, windows 10. It had a message telling me to setup a microsoft account to ‘finish encrypting the device’. I clicked turn off, and it’s currently decrypting the hard drive. Blech.

How often do you get to use this awesome picture? =D

From Wikipedia:

International Workers’ Day, also known as Labour Day in some countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of labourers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement and occurs every year on 1 May, or the first Monday in May.

[…]

The 1 May date was chosen by the American Federation of Labor to commemorate a general strike in the United States, which had begun on 1 May 1886 and culminated in the Haymarket affair four days later.

That’s my current state as well: if I kill myself just like that, the ones in power won. So I’m not letting them win. Either by surviving or… your option.

Honestly that would be great, because that means the rear of the universe is nicer than our corner.

I mean, imagine the other way around: we are the nicest ones. That would be one literal hell of a universe.
