In New England (the best England), we have “youse”.
I went to South Carolina once. For the eclipse a few years ago.
We flew into Charlotte, stayed there for a night, then Greenville SC for a night (to be in totality), and back to Charlotte for a couple of days.
Crossing the border from NC to SC was less like crossing state lines and more like crossing the DMZ or the Berlin Wall. Just…a totally different word on the other side of that line.
Best part was that I got to try out cheer wine. Also there was a guy in front of me at the concession stand (we saw the eclipse from the Greenville Zoo) on the phone with someone. He was trying to tell that person he was in the “food line” but the other person kept hearing “Food Lion”, the name of a local grocery chain.
Although a couple of different guys saw me sweating my ass off in the zoo and offered me a “cool rag”. I had no idea what that was and it sounded disgusting so I politely declined…but in retrospect I have to appreciate their hospitality.
Next eclipse, I’m going to Austin.
The cops will show up, drink all your bud light, eat a few burgers, and taze your grandmother.
Best way to prevent this is to just not allow shitty beer at your party.
schoolchildren will learn it anyway because they want to watch American movies and enjoy American meme culture
This doesn’t surprise me but I had a lot of American friends who were into manga and Japanese culture enough to learn some of the language.

Well, he could be impeached. Simple majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate though, iirc. Don’t see that happening any time soon.
Happens to me all the time with my Networking, Fortinet, Ansible, and Cisco subreddits, and that’s exactly why I’m hesitant to purge and delete my account.
That and I haven’t found comparable communities here.
They were going to book a press conference at Raytheon’s HQ, but instead it was at Ray ‘n Theo’s Landscaping.
Oh I think your right.
I could totally have seen this been a joke delivered by Dexter, going out for Trick or Treating with Asher and Cody, or going to an office costume party.
Was this from Dexter? I feel like this is from Dexter.

I was mistaken. Nuclear lays in between wind and solar.
Funny you say that. Solar and wind each have more human deaths per kWh than nuclear.
Worth mentioning that fossil fuels blow those numbers completely out of the water, though.
In my state (and probably all states), the rec dispensaries are all cash-only businesses. Apparently because they cannot do business with any banks under federal law.
They have ATMs and they can usually run a debit card as an ATM transaction (which charges an ATM fee, and they have to round up to $5 and give you back the difference cash).
Literally the only place I use my debit card (bank reimburses the fees).
But this means a lot of risk…they have to deal with transport/deposits, and having a large amount of cash in hand in the shop. Granted, at least in my state, every store has a mantrap where your ID gets scanned before you can go to into the shop, but that’s still pretty scary. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the mantrap is really only necessary to protect the workers and the cash on-hand.
And there’s also the issue of payroll, since as an otherwise above-board business, they can’t be paying their employees in cash. But they also can’t work with the banks. This adds a lot of complexity and usually results in workers all being contractors for some other entity entirely, which really sounds a bit shady and probably pretty easy to screw up come tax time.
They really need to be allowed to work with the banks.

Zizi is French slang for “penis”

Pibling (parent-sibling). Spanish speakers also have Titi (combining tio and Tia) and Italians (but NOT French) can use Zizi.
There’s also Unty and Auncle. I like Piblings though.
The problems you mentioned are created by the welfare system itself.
Welfare cliffs are what disincentivizes work. It’s not that “having welfare disincentivizes work”, its “getting a few more hours, or accepting a small promotion, makes them ineligible for thousands of dollars of benefits”.
In terms of voters, yes…in terms of actual seats? Republicans hold the house.
That would require elected officials to act in good faith. Used to be you would want your elected officials to uphold the law even if it conflicted with party interests. Nowadays the law only applies to the minority party.
All these other Slim Shady’s are just imitating.
Ugh and I thought burping after having Fish Oil pills was bad…
