No need to be sorry; lots of Americans are doing the same thing, these days.

I guess I’m weird for preferring a 2-5 minute call over what would be 15-20 minutes of back-and-forth over text. 🤷♂️

Nah, they’ve just got better publicity. Gordon Ramsey couldn’t whip up a dish half as delicious as my nonna could.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 1 week ago:
Yeah, all they did was form the basis for modern pasta, and cultivating the seasonings used by modern Italians. I’m sure that counts for absolutely nothing. /s

“Relatively recent”
I’ll be sure to let the Etruscans know.

- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 months ago:
Yes, but people also don’t generally speak today like they did back then, either.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 months ago:
The thorn (Þ) represents the voiceless dental fricative (think the “th” sound in “think”, “thick”, “thistle”, and so on).
To represent the voiced dental fricative, (think the “th” sound in “these”, “there”, “weather”, and so on) use the eth (Ð), not the thorn.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 months ago:
I don’t know, but I downvote every improper use of the thorn.

Stop, lol. The momentum from the truck is carrying the log forward. Realistically, it isn’t being shot directly into the windshield like a cruise missile.

- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 11 months ago:
The reason you see little official pushback from within the US is because things are far more dire here than you might imagine, as an outsider. The US Republican Party (aka GOP - Trump’s party) is currently in control of all three branches of the US federal government. Ever since Trump took office, it’s been one step toward constitutional crisis after another, and apparently the Republicans don’t give a shit about rule of law when it comes to policing their own. The Democrats (our nominal “opposition” party) can’t really do shit right now except at the local level. We have an unelected CEO compromising every branch of our nation’s government with all the Republicans looking the other way. To be honest, I’m past the point of expecting a fair election in four years. As an American who grew up learning to value the ideals of personal freedom and liberty, to see what is happening to my country leaves me OUTRAGED.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 11 months ago:
Who said we aren’t mad?
- Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit 11 months ago:
Not sure why you’re being downvoted for being right. If the people who voted for Trump:
- Had 8 years to see exactly what Trump was like, and
- AREN’T wealthy business owners
…what other conclusions are there?

As someone who likes the Space Marines, but hates Nazis and understands that Warhammer 40k is satire, I’m greatly saddened by the Fascism fan boys in the community.

Crimes against the ruling class are more harshly punished than crimes against the plebs.
