• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always applies 75% of the time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I never click on a link before looking at the URL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chat, is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Best I can do is this: chal-chew-KLEE-kway

  With some help from Forvo. The [t͡ɬ] sounds like KL to my Canadian ears and not TL (which doesn’t happen at the start of syllable in English anyway).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  R and L are what are known as liquid consonants.

  They can be difficult to distinguish to the untrained ear (i.e., non-native speakers).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And if I work from home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Proof that light is a particle and not a wave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me want cookie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how many years old? Not sure why it’s being treated like news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smort⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tying intelligence to IQ seems like the left side to me. I’m still in the middle 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smort⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it? I’m still in the middle of the graph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't the deep state stopped trump?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s been supported by the deep state. The deep state is the money influencing politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You ain’t been high enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instant removal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And I get an upset stomach if I eat too much cabbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically correct, the best kind of correct⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They wanted to know how to represent 6, but displayed upside down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woden is “Odin” in English (which did autocorrect for me).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya, I’m just joking about apps, or especially scripts, not handling it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mod of a similar comm to one I started deleted my advertising post, now downvotes half the stuff I post in my comm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like they might just be an asshole. Maybe remind them that all of their upvotes and downvotes are public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, those Windows directories might have a space in them and break things anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨moove on⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Canada we call them Texas gates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boss Mode⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Relatively consistent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t Look Up director says ‘half a billion people’ have now seen film despite critics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure that every Netflix movie does not get 500,000,000 views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgusting money driven mindset⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you have downvoted them if they said it was cancer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgusting money driven mindset⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s “choad”. But yes, he is one of those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't railroads need expansion joints?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He probably just noticed this amazing video that is about what the title says - youtu.be/zqmOSMAtadc

  (It’s Practical Engineering).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't railroads need expansion joints?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a shit title because the video us actually about metallurgy and thermite welding, not track expansion and contraction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Greatest Cover Song of All Time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm? Isn’t that a Bonnie Tyler song?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel says it won't strike in Syria near where American journalist Austin Tice may be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought this was satire at first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. What I don’t get is that the backpack seems to be a very different color.

  I’m not a conspiracy theorist (I don’t think), but the backpack is the inconsistency that’s interesting to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if statement == false⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope this memer is not a programmer or logician, but ideally neither.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toast⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, not a myth just a misremembering/misassocation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocking trash newspapers in Apple News+ just disabled the link but doesn't free up screen space.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For mobile, I like Feedly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awkward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Make lesser auks greater again.
