The Latin word is “abecedarium”. I don’t know why English adopted the Greek word.
Yyaaaarrrrr
I am a banana!
Carl Sagan talks about this in the first episode of Cosmos. Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round centuries ago. It’s really cool. I recommend checking this clip out.
I’m kind of happy as long as big tech is not running it
Wait for it. It’s coming. That’s why Meta is doing this. We’re in the “embrace” phase of “embrace, extend, extinguish”.
I don’t see how to avoid it, unless the courts step in. The only reason why we’re using the World Wide Web instead of the Microsoft Wide Web is because the US sued Microsoft and won.
So if I potato, you can ottoman?
The meaning of a word doesn’t change just because you use it incorrectly.
Yeah, I wish I had a wife, too.
Content isn’t the problem. Seriously, read that article. I was 100% pro-federation before I read it. Now I’m 100% against it.

Not at all. The left viewed W. Bush as a wannabe dictator, not much different from how Trump is viewed now.
You think that Biden was forced into this? Did somebody put a gun to his head? Do you honestly believe that Bernie Sanders would’ve said the same things if he were president?
I’m voting for Jill Stein or Cornel West. Both are much better choices than Trump or Biden.
Wouldn’t that depend upon how they’re going to cheat?
I love Apocamon. Too bad it never got completed.
We’re smarter because we have scientific understanding and rational thinking.
Add to that somebody could be genetically “black” and pass as “white”. It isn’t based on DNA; it’s based on perception.
True, but it does have a lot of Latinate words.
