“Bastard grant us, in our direst need, the smallest gifts: the nail of the horseshoe, the pin of the axle, the feather at the pivot point, the pebble at the mountain’s peak, the kiss in despair, the one right word. In darkness, understanding.”
Which only emphasizes how much courage she was displaying, to take so much pains to not be a threat, but also be implacable in the face of overwhelming force.

Quite possibly.
Like, even if the myth version was 100% true, how do you get meek out of “No. I am tired. I will not move.”?

I’m not sure they are.
Unfortunate, but what he says is newsworthy, even if it’s clearly bull crap. And the framing of this headline makes it clear that what he saying is bull crap, whether or not that is intentional on his part.

I keep thinking about the SouthCom commander that resigned. He said he thought the strikes might have been legal…at first. Something made him step away though.
I suspected it was the planning for direct strikes on Venezuela, but maybe it was something like this?

…is it bad that the thought I just had was “hopefully this is all just a grift to line his own pockets and only the barest effort to start will be completed by the time he leaves office”?
Like, it’s bad he’s stealing, but not as bad as theft PLUS the tackiest Versailles knockoff imaginable.

I may not have been clear.
I think the article writer is coming from the mindset where physical intimacy only happens within a romantic context, and so any intimacy is already evidence of romantic feelings.
If that’s the case, the article critique is bad because its prior assumptions are so far off.

I think that’s what bothered me. The article writer is writing from the mindset where physical intimacy is a stand-in for romantic feelings, but that’s simply not true for many. Particularly mlm relationships.

The pay thing is kind of weird and no idea to fix it really works. The framers figured being a legislator would be like jury duty, only slightly more important than being an elector, not this massive influence factory it turned into.

And accepting the federal pardon is tantamount to admitting guilt.
And that’s why I don’t think Trump actually will pardon himself. Only someone guilty (either by conviction or confession) can be pardoned.

Weird as it is to think about, some of our congressmen and women effectively are homeless as well.

So only people already rich could afford to be politicians?
Besides, that’s pretty much already true at most state and local levels, who effectively decide this.

But this time he’s effectively admitting:
-He knew it was hers
-Knew she was saving it
-Knew she’d mind if he ate it (or he’d have said, insincerely at least, “oh I didn’t think you’d mind, I’m sorry”)
-but was counting on her being too distracted to realize he’d eaten it

That, definitely, but I meant specifically he’s eaten her food and she’d let it slide to not make waves or because “oh I guess I didn’t label it and he thought it was [roommate]’s”

Which suggests he’s done this before, probably more than once.

A twelve year old can make AI porn of his teacher but cannot see the movie Before Sunrise in theaters. Does that not feel completely insane.

For us in the anglosphere, yes. From what I’ve learned, some other schools of geography include Australia in Oceania as its major land mass.
I also learned about Zealandia today.
I often wish I’d just gone for that geography degree, but some days I wish it more than others.

I think you might be jumping to a conclusion here. I’m not asking him what he things is *correct*; I’m asking what he uses and feels is more commonly used outside the anglosphere, out of cultural interest.
I don’t think the continent of Australia is in danger of being cancelled.

Of course! But, then, most things are semi arbitrary constructs when you get down to it. This topic included, which is why there’s groupings of 4 to 7 continents used globally.
I didn’t know that, and I’m always interested when I come across a new set of constructs I’d previously been ignorant of.

This is a genuinely interesting comment to me. Do most other countries not classify Australia as a continent as well as a country? I’ve heard Oceania used; is that more typically used?
Geography as a social construct is one of my special interests.

Closet word with a short u that works might be “usher”, and that’s clearly not getting the intended point across the way “you-sians” does, since that’s a single vowel sound different from Asians.

Exactly!
I’ve been playing with varying pronunciations in my head, comparing to other common words, and as long as you use a long U to start (like usage), the word works linguistically, if perhaps not for you personally.
Trying to start it with a short u, like “utterly” fails utterly.
