Language is defined by its usage, which is organic and ever changing. To rail against this seems sisyphean in the extreme. Good day to you.

I just noticed that Kinja was obscuring all sorts of related conversations from me. Sorry if that made me sound extra insensitive.

This is a very important issue and I wish your family all the best on the long hard road ahead.

Uh....please stop pretending only people in this community (I don’t even know what community that is) live in isolation and get to control words and how people use them?

All I did was provide you a reference to explain the common parlance which I believe is being deployed in the referenced text (this itself could be an…

I turn to the UrbanDictionary for guidance on what the term functionally means in the common parlance. It matches my expectations when I read the above phrase, and runs contrary to your stated opinion. (I accept openly that an earlier definition closer to its roots may have done exactly as you claim)

In our births, mom was screened for strep both times. One time positive, one time negative. The screening was asked about by our placenta encapsulator and so one time we did it, one time we did not.

So its not like top shelf practicioners in this field aren’t already in front of the incident behind this report.

It is still the case that Mel, Sue, and Mary will be continuing on at the BBC replacement for this show?

I know this has been a hot button issue that brings out the worst in people, and the worst people, but I don’t want to live in a world where its not completely reasonable to call it out when editors/the editing process has dropped the ball.

You can rest assured that the product was delayed as long as conceivable possible while keeping the lights of the studio on.

I think to be fair his comments accurately represent 90%+ of the audience and possibly 99%+ of revenue

This movie was very enjoyable. It was competently assembled out of well used World War bits and pieces but it was exceptionally acted and the perspective of the hero was utterly refreshing.

I came out of the theater a little underwhelmed - I mean really this is a good movie, but that’s kind of not enough anymore in…

Ahem.

There is zero good excuses for the driver of a vehicle to touch their mobile phones for even a fraction of a second.

Seriously guys. We need to stop accepting this behavior. Zero tolerance.

Bah. I’m nonplussed by this. Talk to me when it hits 621371.192 miles.

Honestly everything said here makes the game sound amazing to me.

Is Clementine dead yet? I’ve abandoned the series (played 75% of S1) until I can know she can die.

Gosh I wonder what has happened since and how utterly appalling that makes this comment....

....but god did I hate that kid.

I’m 40 now. I started playing with the NES and for 5 years worked for a AAA game maker.

The primary motivation I have for watering my lawn regularily is to curtail ant infestations. And I mean infestation. Left alone (as I did one year when we had a baby in March) there were dozens of anthills). Maybe infestation is the wrong word to describe this but they were fucking everywhere and started coming in…

The text book says if a marginalized populace is protesting we give them deference. So I’m onside with that.

I’m wildly speculating as both of these stories are a little light on details, but if my guess is correct and the neighbour is focusing on the legal definition of “maintain a retaining wall” I could see that ambiguity slipping past permiting (e.g. the city viewed replacing the wall as consistent with the easement).
