I don’t want someone to go kill him, but I absolutely wish that he would drop dead without the slightest moral reservation.
My only concern is that however he were to die, everyone on the right would go full conspiracy theory and blame it on the left, and somehow we’d be worse off in ways I can’t imagine right now. The right always seems to find a way to make me regret any turn of events that I thought was good.
I think that electing someone as deranged as Trump — who basically would try anything and everything that a sane person wouldn’t risk out of self-preservation, we basically saw a speedrun of finding out all the weaknesses and exploits of our government, combined with proving that impeachment and removal is basically impossible as long as one party is in collusion with the president.
We might have gotten here anyway, but it might have been a decade or two rather than four short years.
And the Supreme Court wouldn’t look like it does and be doing what’s it’s doing, which is also now a speedrun of horror.
I’ll never forgive Americans for 2016.
Go to General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, and create an entry for each word you want, putting the same thing in the phrase field and the shortcut field. Then it won’t try to replace them every time.
My theory had been ‘amburger in a cockney accent
an 🍔
Going crazy trying to think of what word you use for 🍔 that starts with a vowel.
Oh, and also I used to always get the Santa Fe chicken Gordita at Taco Bell until it went away.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is actually “till” and “till” is not short for “until” (and “‘til” is not a word). “Until” actually came from “till”.

I’ve never heard anyone say “tell” to mean “till” so I won’t comment on that.
OP is using Dutch, not German
A good rule of thumb is that any word etymology that is an acronym is probably false if the word is more than 100 years old.
I think Apple’s emphasis on the privacy and security stuff would have happened anyway, because they’ve been positioning themselves as privacy focused for several years now.
I definitely see your perspective, but mostly wanted to make sure I wasn’t overlooking some obvious downside in my risk assessment.
I figure my chances are low that I will get into the situation where an authority demands access to my phone but I also don’t have the opportunity to lock out biometrics. Like if I get pulled over I just hold power and volume up buttons for three seconds and biometrics is off. That said, it certainly doesn’t eliminate my risk completely, and I wouldn’t consider anyone crazy for just opting out completely.
Regarding biometrics, I’ve felt that one advantage is that if I’m in a public space, I don’t have to worry about someone watching me enter my password over my shoulder. If I got into a situation where someone is physically overpowering me to get my finger onto my device against my will, I’m probably going to give them whatever password they want so I don’t get a beat down.
I think this is where the specific definition of “nice” is crucial. I think it’s very possible to still be “nice” while also being confrontational or standing up for things, and in fact, doing it nicely but without backing down can sometimes be extremely effective.
I know the “nice” you are referring to, where someone uses it as a shield for uncaring, selfish behavior. I’d of course rather have someone who isn’t so “nice” who earnestly tries to do the right thing than that kind of nice.
If you mean that Pennsylvania Dutch is a dialect of German and that Dutch and Deutsch share a common origin, then that is true.
It’s because Germany wasn’t a unified place until not that long ago, so different neighbors came up with their own way to refer to them.
If it’s a clear sign of disrespect, can you say why the person wanted to disrespect you?
I’ve always figured it offends them because if they accept the term they are de facto recognizing being trans is a thing at all. The term is only necessary if trans is a legit concept.
Wouldn’t that give an extra incentive to raise the retirement age?
I’m like that with turkeys. They are hilarious weirdos.
Han sarcastically calls Jabba “a wonderful human being” in the special editions of ANH
It seems to me that the question of free will is only truly meaningful (aside from being an interesting thought experiment) if we could then perfectly or near-perfectly predict what a person will do. But the system in which we exist is so complex that we will never be able to model that or come close.
So we might as well consider humans to have free will, just as we consider a roll of the dice to be random.
