- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 4 days ago:
A site charging for reading messages will most definitely censor out emails and phone numbers and will have it in their ToS that you’re not allowed to take conversations outside the platform.

I remember reading about pyramid workers going on strike to request a higher make-up quota.

don’t stick your nose into other people’s business
That’s a slightly different expression than “mind your beeswax”. I was thinking there’s no equivalent in Romanian, “mind your business” is already simple and direct, and you can replace “business” with something context-relevant. But for “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business” there are multiple equivalent expressions: “don’t come in where your pot is not boiling”, “don’t come in like a fly in milk”, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting now.

users opting into “cloud processing”
Is that something users are opting into or something they need to opt out of?

I pronounce “with” with ð. Am I wrong, or is the list wrong?

But I’m genuinely curious what that is. Doesn’t look like a city manhole cover, which would have some identifying markings on it.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
I just never got used to it. I grew up drinking club soda or sparkling mineral water. Also milk, I would drink a liters of milk a day for a time, but no water. Flat water just doesn’t do it for me. If it’s ice cold, it’s ok, but I never think “I feel like I’d like some water now”.
- Comment on we are not the same 1 month ago:
It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.

If you want to go that way, the straight parts have infinite angles too.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 months ago:
No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
we should go do X
we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle
That’s not small talk, that’s planning what to do today. You can open the same conversation with “hey, what do you want to do today?”
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years
I met my wife when we were 16-17. We are in our 40s now. It’s reasonable to expect that our opinions on such subjects have changed since then.
But there are plenty of subjects to talk about. How is the current environment in the US going to impact our kids’ lives going forward? Even if we know each other’s general perspectives on life, the universe, and everything, that doesn’t mean we can also predict opinions on complex scenarios and situations.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
talking about things with very low impact or consequences
Isn’t that the definition of small talk?
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
The free will question is much closer to the conversations I was having with my wife before we got married. We were talking for hours every day, I can’t imagine spending hours on small talk.

My ZX Spectrum clone didn’t have a “tape drive”, it had a cable that you could connect any tape player to. We didn’t have a specialized tape player for it, we attached the same one we played music on.

I remember when I first saw floppies and how amazing it was to load things instantly instead of waiting minutes for a game to load from a cassette tape.

Like all Romance languages, number “one” has different masculine and feminine forms, depending on what you’re counting. Unlike other Romance languages, number “two” is also gendered.

How does “LORD LORD” fit into your explanation?
It’s literally the KJV wording of Luke 6:45
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
