  Gotcha.

  I was familiar with the concept but not the phrasing. Thanks for the edification!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the snow melt in this pattern?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty much my favorite so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinosaurs Still Live⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  What does “ringed” mean in this context?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the information! Or perhaps I should say merci.

  For a while, I lived in Havre de Grace, MD. In that timeframe, I experienced several fourths of July. One of those times, for some reason, my then-girlfriend and I got in a mood to watch horror movies.

  We opened Netflix (then our only streaming service) and looked in the horror category, eventually settling on The Bay. We’d never heard of that movie before and selected it pretty much at random.

  Turns out that movie is implicitly set in HdG and explicitly on the fourth of July. Kinda freaked us out for a bit.

  After that, we looked up movies set in HdG and that’s how I found From Within, a mediocre movie featuring Bruce Willis’ daughter; and also how I found out that House of Cards filmed Kevin Spacey’s home town there.

  I was thinking “it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the end.”

  The ocean is indeed beyond beautiful. I’m not a marine biologist, but I went to Jamaica for my honeymoon and truly appreciated it there. A lot of my time was spent just … Admiring the water.

  I remember a Jamaican local commenting that she’d seen the ocean around the USA in movies and wouldn’t swim in the ocean around the country based on that.

  Also, I got punched in the face by a fish while I was down there.

  Beautiful, though.

  What is MP in this context?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have the best shaped states, don't we folks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I, too, like Yahtzee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covfefe⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t drink coffee, so maybe I’m too tired to count properly, but don’t most people only have five fingers per hand?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a gay I can confirm⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t “position marker” and “body” fairly innocuous?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got a double peen AMA⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That must be awkward when you’re walking around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meow_irl⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternatively, youtu.be/pzSWMv-oU3g

  Boy, I loved that movie as a kid. I wonder if I’d feel the same way now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This light is very patriotic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doppler effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds crazy till ya try it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My condolences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds crazy till ya try it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when I learned what sounding was.

  I fondly remember a time period before that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon takes the horsepill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never really interacted with them, but from what I’ve read, they have no regard for much of anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 Years Ago⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do, you won’t be alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I buy it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Very hopeful, then!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I buy it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Will ever learn” is a bold claim here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunny-Man: First look at superhero movie featuring Mike Tyson & James Franco revealed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, he’s not just wearing hockey pads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunny-Man: First look at superhero movie featuring Mike Tyson & James Franco revealed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “If”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunny-Man: First look at superhero movie featuring Mike Tyson & James Franco revealed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that not basically a gimp suit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only one who does this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Upvotes are supposed to represent that a comment added to the conversation in some way. Just because two individuals disagree doesn’t mean that they didn’t contribute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon attempts wordplay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Expert ones, no less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That funny feeling⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I’ve read, you should avoid using external influences to fix cramps, as they could easily damage your tendons.

  Very much not an expert, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches a scary movie with his gf⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who cares?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I nearly literally started a friendship based on showing the other person this movie. It’s a fantastic movie and apparently why Christian Bale was chosen as Batman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A divorce lawyer gives a few dating tips to young men⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So close.
