Was he familiar with Ghislaine’s horse?


Someone needs to ask Trump which one it was, at a press briefing.
There was a meme that gained some traction a while back about girls asking their boyfriends if they would still love them if they were a worm.

Right, what I’m saying is where do you draw the line at where “in the sun” ends?


What? You didn’t verify anything, you just said you remember being told once. It’s not an obvious fact because it isn’t true, you made it up. It’s not foolish to believe a word means what it means, you can just look up the definition. Are you high or something?


Whoever told you that was incorrect. Literally means the plain textbook definition of the words written, as opposed to euphemism or metaphor. If I say “I would literally die on this hill”, it means that there is an actual large mound of dirt that I am willing to lose my life on.
Any other interpretation is literally incorrect.


I’m thinking about it, and I think they might be right. Sunbeams are a part of the sun, albeit mingled with atmosphere. If they were in direct line of the sun, i could consider them technically, literally, correct.
It all depends on whether you consider an object bathed in the radiance of something to be “in” that thing, but I’m kinda inclined to consider that.


Starship Troopers is not misunderstood satire
I’ve read a lot of Heinlein, and while I don’t think “satire” is quite the right word, I’d consider it more of a thought experiment than sincere belief.


As long as they stay to the right I don’t care that much


I’m fine with language evolving over time, but I reject “literally” being used to mean “figuratively”. Distinguishing figurative from literal is, literally, the word’s one job. Take that away, and the word literally doesn’t mean anything but a generic intensifier. There literally isn’t another word that fulfills that disambiguating purpose, this semantic drift only decreases clarity.


Like pwnd, which is something like pünd or /pʊnd/


The typical therapist advice about focusing only on the things you can personally change does not work well on macro issues. Issues that were created by lots of people working together like climate change require a bunch of people working together to fix.
But collaborating with others to address macro problems is something you can personally do.


That’s actually stylish as hell
