Yeah. Like, you read history and think “no, the medieval chronicler was trying to make a didactical point, it didn’t actually-” but no, it kinda just happens sometimes…

Older Benz’s had the same dial, it was equally fantastic.

The annoying part is Dassault had linux cad software and they killed it.

And that’s the fundamental problem of the SSN. It’s a system designed not to be an ID, for a country that refuses to have an ID, that is being used as an ID despite it’s design, because it’s simply not viable to not have some form of an ID in a modern society.

I mean, who didn’t?

Then again, IIRC, when polled, a sizable percent of men though they could beat up a gorilla, so…

“Heartwarming: the worst people you know are all fighting”

“Please got it would be so funny”

The Russia connection is that we’re desperately trying not to talk about Epstein being a Mossad agent.

…Dude, the planet is frying.

This reads like a George Carlin bit

It’s the opposite, actually. Serbia recently entered year two of mass, country-wide anti-government protests. This is bribe to keep the government in the US’ good graces.

More like “the cops can’t get a search warrant, so they park outside and shoot through the windows, hoping someone fires back”.

On the contrary, they are breaking the rules - of modern English. And I’m disagreeing with their way of doing it.

And yes, this is “right” and “wrong” as a matter of taste more than anything, but then again so is using thorn and eth.

Frankli, þes, þes I do, becas yeþ didnt speak modern Engliș, wiç we do, & to wiç ye ruls aplþ to. Ye misionarþ is verþ wrong to lektur ye nativs on yeir langweig, but is eqali right to lektur yem on Engliș.

There is a right and a wrong way to break the rules. If you’re gonna go out of your way to use obsolete ortography, don’t half-ass it.

Sure, back yen spelinge was more viebbes baesed yan nott, but if you’re gonna bring them back, do it right.

More like, if you’re already gonna use thorn, why are you using it wrong? It should be “wið”.

I believe first is voiced, second isn’t. IIRC rule of thumb is voiced makes a D, unvoiced makes a T, so, “dis tread”.

…Sounds made up? Sounds made up?!?

You mean to tell me you’re here lecturing me about Robert Maxwell’s connections, while not knowing that he was, and I’m gonna directly quote Wikipedia here: “…afforded a lavish funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Israeli President Chaim Herzog, at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence[68] and many dignitaries and politicians, both government and opposition, and was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.[69][70] Herzog delivered the eulogy, and the Kaddish was recited by his friend and longtime attorney Samuel Pisar.[71]”?

Goddamn, I even gave you the proper name of the cemetery. You’d think you’d at least google “Robert Maxwell Olive Mount”, but no, “sounds made up”. Jesus fucking Christ, you people…
