My parents have started calling CGI made by humans AI

This is why I use adblock and sale the high seas

Lego vs Legos appears to be another North America vs The rest of the English speaking world thing. A collective noun feels weird to my American ears since they are individual pieces that are countable. It’s not a big deal though. I enjoy having different ways of talking.

Bro looks like the last Q-tip in the box

Also Omar Fateh for mayor of Minneapolis, Abdul El-Sayed for senator of Michigan, Kat Abughazaleh for Illinois representative, and probably more I’m not aware of. It’s encouraging to see candidates like these get traction.

I thought I ate the onion on this one

That sounds a lot like the US constitution, amirite?

Please save me from this waking nightmare

Not pictured: the giant, shitty looking pile of rubble under them.

They just blasted chunks off the mountain and left the mess behind

“…both fought bitterly. But Guy knocked his adversary from his horse and kept him down easily with his lance as he was struggling to get up. Then his opponent, running nearer, ran Guy’s horse through with his sword, disemboweling it. Sliding from the horse, his sword drawn, Guy attacked his adversary. A continuous and bitter encounter followed with exchanges of sword blows, until, worn out by the weight and burden of their arms, they threw away their shields and hastened to win the fight with their strength in wrestling. Iron Herman fell prostrate to the ground, and Guy threw himself on top of him, pounding the knight’s mouth and eyes with his iron gauntlets. But just as one reads of Antheus, the prostrate man gathered strength bit by bit from the coolness of the ground and slyly made Guy think he was certain of victory while he rested. Meanwhile, having raised his hand very smoothly to the lower edges of the mail coat, where Guy was unprotected, and grabbed him by the testicles, he collected his strength for a single effort and threw him from him, breaking open all the lower parts of his body by this grabbing throw so that the prostrate Guy grew weak and cried out that he was defeated and was going to die.” - Galbert of Bruges.

You probably want to go with the firing squad

It’s spelled “wiener” though since it comes from Wien (aka Vienna) and -er, like Hamburg-er and Frankfurt-er.

I’d say it’s the perfect slur for fascists: Perhaps from a diminutive of Vulgar Latin *facus, from Latin fascis (“bundle of wood”)

Office job but working my way up to a dumpster life

The compiler grows on you after a bit and generally if you’re fighting it, it’s trying to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. I’ve heard it depends on what languages you’re coming from. Most of my experience is with higher level languages like JavaScript so the issues I ran into while learning rust were opportunities to get a deeper understanding of computers in general.

I could see that being frustrating if you’re coming from C/C++ and just want the dang thing to do what you already know how to do.

Thank you for engaging with the sources I was providing and not dismissing them outright. I was in the Christmas is pagan camp for a while and found the idea appealing because I dislike how Christianity homogenized everything and stomped out a bunch of unique cultures that we’ll likely never know about.

Then I started seeing some experts in the field trying to dispel the idea and I started to have doubts. Now I think Christmas was created independently and then it absorbed local customs as Christianity spread (that’s just my history enthusiast opinion though).

That doesn’t make it a stolen pagan holiday. Are you a professor of Roman art and Archeology like Steven Hijmans, one of the scholars cited in the video? The medium of presentation doesn’t make the information invalid.

It’s an internet discussion, if I linked a bunch of scholarly articles, like the creator of the video did, no one would actually read them. It’s a quick introduction for anyone who is curious. Also, this topic has come up on /r/askhistorians several times and has been answered by some of the same scholars referenced in the video.

I hate Christmas too but it’s not pagan if that’s what you meant by stolen.

They could use Dumbo

If you’re a terminal weirdo like me I’d recommend Taskwarrior

I think it’s like the old trope of asking a fish how the water is and they reply “what’s water?”
