Never trust a Campbell.

It’s other common name is the European Fat Dormouse.

I don’t see why the need to shame. Some of us like our dormice with some fat on them.

“Had a relationship with …”

Sex with a minor. Hmm … sex with a minor. I could swear we had a word for that.

I often cringe a bit at the rhetoric coming out of the men’s rights corner, but the gender bias around sex with minors in so consistent.

Motivation.

That’s kind of the point: there isn’t an authority on English. The closest we come is a bunch of English elites making up informal rules on grammar, spelling, and pronunciation and judging everyone else for not using their version. … And a bunch of try-hards who enforce their arbitrary and often nonsensical 'rules '.

If it parses, it rolls.

I don’t understand how the distance to see ground in the tank is longer than those of the Dodge and Chevy, but the distance to see children is shorter.

Yes, the introduction of steel to sail boat construction allowed bullders to blow previous size constraints out of the water. They were considered big and ugly. IRC Windjammer was an insulting name because they didn’t look like elegant craft that rode the wind, but wind jammers.

These are not windjammers though, are they? They look like pretty vanilla, small sail boats (IDK sloops ketches, or yawls… (Wrong … Too many masts. They’re schooners.) Windjammer was a derogatory moniker for the sailing ships built after steel construction became common. Much much taller masts, wire rigging etc.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d expect a much larger hull and 3 or 4 very tall masts, with something like four square sails per mast.

The Windjammers outcompeted steam vessels for many transoceanic trade routes because they don’t require the constant input of coal to operate.

Picture on that article depicts a ship with six square sails.

EDIT: looked at the picture again. I believe they are schooners.

Aren’t you worried you’re going to start attracting swingers with that thing in your window?

Listen here, Zac. The meme is addressed to “Mom”, a representative parental figure of - let’s assume - Gen X. Now, Gen X was not really into anime, which is the butt of the joke. They weren’t a bunch of weebs and probably also refer to group of the Japanese warrior class as ‘samurais’. HOWEVER, they called lots of little bricks ‘lego’. It was Millennials that started calling them ‘legos’.

So, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy.

Go play with your Legos, child.

If you’re having an honest conversation here, the appeal to common sense is a fallacy.

You’re coming off pretty self-righteous and judgmental. If you’re wanting to change minds I doubt a accusatory stance is helpful.

Canned tuna fish.

IRC one of mushrooms’ main effects is to increase seratonin levels, so … Yeah, same basic thing.

No. That is not a member of the order of Hemiptera at all. It is an Orthopteran.

IMO it’s tennis for Boomers who can’t hack tennis anymore.

That is such an overly simplistic and reductionist take. I’m not even sure the most control and fear oriented, “OT” Christians would accept that interpretation. I’m not even sure that there are any hardcore Jews that would accept that interpretation.

From a Christian perspective, Jesus is evidently non-violent and encourages non-violence (“those who live by the sword, die by the sword,” “let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” and his refusal to start a riot in Jerusalem when he’s being tried.)

Also, I’d take your Matthew quote as Jesus seeing himself as in conversation with the Jewish corpus of teachings, not divorcing himself from it. He’s evidently NOT ok with the blind implementation of OT teaching. Anyway, I’ve got to clarify that the translation of Torah as “law” misses a lot of nuance. “Teachings” might be a better translation. “The Law and the Prophets” is basically shorthand for what Christians would call the “Old Testament”.

He obviously interpreted and prioritised Old Testament teachings to place love, mercy, and redemption at the heart of interpretation, so to say that, “Jesus wants you to kill your non-Christian family,” is absolutely disingenuous.

They used a drone to spy on the New Zealand women’s team. That violated fair play. The article mentions the coach (?) saying that drone use was not limited to the women’s team or soccer. I wonder what else will come out?

EDIT: I got a couple things wrong. Here’s the actual quote: The head of Canada soccer has acknowledged the drone use was not limited to the women’s team or to Paris.

Oh man, that’s too bad. I hate the corporate takeover of agriculture. I totally noticed the degradation in Island Farms dairy when Agropur took over.

What?! Where do you get that?
