Quart? I'm not storing a bushel of grain to be inspected by the lord of the manor!
Seriously though I do love efficient storage containers and would happily fill the house with them.
otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow
This is the classic counter-argument to so many superstitions and conspiracy theories. Storms are punishment from God for your homosexuality? Oh great, let's organise a big gay orgy everywhere there's a drought! Crystals can heal you and ghosts can tell you secrets from beyond the grave? Brilliant, every military and intelligence agency is going to invest heavily changing warfare and espionage immediately!
Lavatory paper, toilet tissue, bog roll, bumwad, arse wipe, shit tickets; we all need it but I can't find a good one for a reasonable price.
Obviously I don't want the tracing paper you get in a public toilet, but it seems a waste to pay for the quadruple-velvet perfume-soaked premium nonsense. Supermarket own brand is soft enough but tends to fall apart. Who Gives A Crap is environmentally friendly but their basic stuff disintegrates immediately and their premium stuff is even more expensive than the fancy Andrex.
And no, there's no room for a bidet.
That's good to know. Doesn't really matter if I think it's weird as long as it's not actually upsetting anyone!
Has "people of colour" caught on over here now? It always sounded uncomfortably close to "coloured people" as a kind-of-offensive term for all non-whites.
OK, so you are technically correct. Hey, important referendums have been decided on smaller margins than 53.8%!
So do you just hate the benefit-scrounging bogeymen, or do you think that helping people isn't the government's job?
No mate, you look up the outlandish claim and share it with the rest of us so we don't think you're chatting shit
If you liked the guy who murders a load of civilians in like the second episode then I don't think you can pretend it's because he's handsome!
Have you ever bought luxury goods such as most food or clothes? Well then, you paid VAT. I'd love to hear what stats you're pulling out of your arse that say otherwise!
Everyone contributes to society by paying tax. Ordering people to do a specific job is not cool.
You're correct, I specified "American republicans" to refer to the political party because everywhere else "republican" means anti-monarchist
OK, but that's not what the word liberal actually means to most people in my experience. Or perhaps another way of saying it is that a lot of people I see getting angry on Lemmy read the word "liberal" and assume economically liberal, whereas every person I've ever encountered IRL would use it to mean socially liberal.
That seems like one very specific definition specifically for economically-neo-liberal, only mentioned below all the actual definitions
My thoughts exactly! Every real-life human I've ever spoken to uses it to mean open-minded and every definition I look up agrees, yet for some reason half the people posting here think it exclusively means economically-neo-liberal capitalist.
I am not, and I've observed that every American seems to have their own definition of what "liberal" means, which is not really very helpful when trying to use the word in a discussion
Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?
