But...gif isn't derived from an English word either. It's not derived from any word.

I eat plain food all the time just because I'm lazy. I don't think the benefit of the ketchup is worth the effort of waiting for everyone else to be done with it and delaying the food-in-mouth part of the program, stop judging me!!!

Why are the only choices to assume it's right and assume it's wrong? How many things in the world belong to either of those two extremes?

She does not mention who the rapist is at any point, so how could she be encouraging anything against him?

No rando on the internet is going to know your requirements - there's no federal law requiring a thesis. It's entirely up to your school. It's likely that if you haven't heard of it, then it's not a requirement for you. In my college, it was optional if you weren't an honors student. In some others, it's required, and…

I was just watching the last few episodes and watched Oberyn twirl and dance all over the place before Clegane finally took advantage of it. It tries, but it has its slip ups. Made up for it with the Brienne/Hound fight though.

Video games in general or specifically the video games you contribute to? It's a common fallacy to think that something "created" is of more worth than something "captured" - just look at how many people think they're photographers or think that photography isn't art because they're just capturing real life. Common,…

The "click to reveal" on this comment was actually really satisfying.

Oh man I had no idea people didn't fuck in 1994. The world has shifted!

In one of the movies a toy compliments Woody for being so good at the staying still thing so I don't think it's involuntary.

For me, I'm picky about my pictures. I want to be able to see myself and pose appropriately. I loved those video cameras that also took photos with the flip-around screen, so the picture-taker could look through the viewfinder and I could see myself. It's not that I even take a better picture, just that I don't know…

Wow until I saw the second comment verifying it I seriously thought you were just like making up a fake translation of it because no one could understand her. It did not even occur to me that those were real words.

Just want to point out that what she's talking about isn't a Facebook post - Facebook has this new thing where it puts news articles on the side of the page, and when you click them it leads to real news articles talking about it. So she's talking about real news articles, aggregated and announced by Facebook.

Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have worn my swim trunks to that job interview.

Headlines are often grammatically incorrect, especially when there are limits. Complaining that a headline is grammatically incorrect doesn't make him wrong, it makes you ignorant.

Once someone looked between my boyfriend in a t shirt and cargo shorts and myself in a dress and scolded him for putting comfort over style because look at me!! Meanwhile I had pulled that dress off the floor that morning and was ready in under 5 seconds and SO COMFORTABLE OMG.

That AP English stuff is all crap. There's a "how to write in high school", then there's a "how to write in college", then there's a "how to write in the real world". If you repeat the question multiple times in the real world, you look like an idiot because you're wasting everyone's time padding out your response…

He didn't say it was your performance in life, he said it was your report card. As in, even if it doesn't tell the whole story of your life it's a cut-and-dry metric that people will use to judge you. It's actually a very apt metaphor - people will look at that D average one year and think "that person really was…

The "I did it and I was fine" crowd and the "I couldn't do it so it's not fine" crowd both ignore that children are very different and should be treated differently based on their maturity for their age.

Seriously? Your response to "here is a personal example of a situation in which this is not the case" is "I think you're lying, let me restate my argument as if you didn't say anything"?
