Are you rich enough to only use glass containers and do all of your food shopping locally at farmers’ markets? Because if not… stop drinking beverages out of plastic bottles. I’m in the same boat.

I do worry that this might have a “cried wolf” effect for victims of actual antisemitism.
I think it’s worse than it feels. Like, I still like Jimmy Carr, but how many schools have cut meal programs because of a lack of funding? It’s just that money is fungible and through taxes it gets split up so much that you can’t really follow it, so I don’t think we realize the harm that’s done when people don’t pay their taxes.
You don’t have to be suicidal to jump on a grenade
With severe burns, that won’t be true for likely several years, maybe never.
I sometimes have medium length nails (3-5 mm past the fingertip), though I tend to just grow my own out, and I do it entirely for myself. I have a bunch of different kinds of nail polish and stencils for making cool patterns and it satisfies my inner elementary school librarian urge to dress up for even very minor holidays.
People have come up to me and told me that my nails are too long for them to find attractive, which is a bizarre non sequitur imo. I don’t know why the assumption is that any self-decoration is intended as a sexual signal: my ideal nail-based interaction is that a little kid asks about them and I get to tell them about Arbor Day or national soup day or something.
Sometimes they make life more difficult, and then I either find workarounds (opening pull tabs with a spoon, for example) or cut them, depending on how much time I have and how much I like my current nails.
I get that they’re not for everyone, but I like them, so I wear them. It’s okay if others don’t like them, they don’t have to wear them.
I said Schmierkampagne in real life yesterday.
I’m a native English speaker and Zangendeutsch is ruining me.
The words “I have concepts of a plan” are still ringing in my head. I cannot conceive of intentionally saying something so profoundly useless. I found that shocking, but I try to watch him speak as little as I can. They work with him every day and should not be shocked by this.
Is the hexagon a reference to something from a fantasy universe (I know it’s a reference to the pentagon in our world)?
That’s absolutely relevant, lol. I forgot the topic
On the one hand yes, on the other hand, destroying information is akin to wasting food
Bonus points if the death could have been easily avoided, had the character been a mage.
It is like flammable and inflammable then?
With bonus religious tension
Yep, simple vs easy.
Sometimes it’s a second (or fifth) language for Indian people, but it’s also a dialect which is just as valid as your dialect and it’s got the second most English speakers in the world. The accent may just be an accent, you definitely shouldn’t assume that it’s a sign someone will have incorrect English. It sounds like you’re not in practice, but that’s definitely how I read your comments
I’m from Connecticut and once had a serious problem with a person my company insured from North Carolina. He was talking to me about what caused his accent and I kept hearing “tar” instead of “tire.” We were equally qualified as native speakers.
If you’re concerned, you can listen to more Indian English, because familiarity should ease any understanding difficulties in the future.
That still seems reasonable to me, though. If there’s evidence that they knew what they were doing, put it to a trial to determine culpability. If they’re not obviously in a position to have known better, I can see not prosecuting them, but prosecution is the normal next step when someone seemingly knowingly commits a crime. If it turns out that they really all got scammed, they’ll be found innocent.
I’m also not sure how it will proceed, but I think it’s much more fucked up if a non-party to a criminal case has assets seized. Given that there are currently sanctions against Russia, I could see it being seized separately by the DOJ and/or IRS, but I’d honestly much prefer that it go through a trial instead of just having the DOJ decide. At least then they can have a jury if they want and they can defend themselves. Civil forfeiture is fucked up
Also, doesn’t everyone like fried chicken? I don’t even eat chicken and I make fake fried chicken
