You can go to Rochester which is growing fast and has the Mayo Clinic

Does it also have the Miracle Whip Faith Healing Center?

Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.

This is our derpy boy, Bear.

They should leave, go back to Holland or wherever they came from

They didn’t take land. Their ancestors did. They were born and grew up in South Africa.

And yes, they benefitted from an absolutely horrible system of apartheid.

But telling them to “go back where they came from” is racist AF, just like it is when said to a brown person in the States. Don’t be that guy. They are where they came from.

I’m not your friend, guy.

But I am also poopin’.

I guess “love” is a strong term. It does everything I need it to and I have very few complaints, the same experience I had with my Android phone.

so many apple shills here.. why not upgrade to an adult phone?

So this makes me laugh because when I was younger and had more time to spend with rooting and custom ROMs, I used Android phones. And I loved them!

Now that I’m older I use an iPhone (for a number of reasons) and I also love it!

It’s almost like smartphones are tools that fit their use case, and not something else up be tribal over.

Nobody hates those who oppose conservatism like other people who oppose conservatism. 🙄

We have a very reactive pup and have had a couple sessions with a dog trainer to help us curb that reactivity. She taught us some neat methods to redirect his attention and eventually get him to a point where we treat him (with very high value treats) when he sees another dog and then lets us redirect him.

Over time he’s learning that the emotion he should feel when he sees another dog is excitement! It’s slowly working.

Yanks don’t speak English

No one speaks standard English. The rules we follow when we write are almost meaningless when we speak. If you can be understood and you minimize ambiguity, language is serving its purpose.

Also really, you want to talk about “Yanks” and English? How many absurd dialects does the UK have in a landmass the size of Michigan? 😉

As far as “by accident” vs “on accident” goes, this is largely a regional difference, but it’s not like it changes the meaning. It likely comes from being the opposite of “on purpose” and, since linguistic rules should generally be descriptive rather than prescriptive (again, assuming it is understood and minimizes ambiguity), it’s perfectly cromulent.

The one that drives me insane is when people say, “I’m going to try and ” instead of “try to .” I struggle with it syntactically, but since it has become such a widespread construction, I’m learning to accept the construction of the infinitive using “and” instead of “to.” Its origin makes sense to me, there are plenty of places in English where we combine verbs with “and,” (though in many of those cases we aren’t using the infinitive for the second verb). Like “go and clean your room” or “I will come and see.”

I accept this thing that is a violation of the rules of standard English I was taught because it’s widespread enough to be an accepted usage of the language. That’s how language works. They are not something handed down from on high, they are something people create over time, and they continually evolve.

Nah, it’s fantastic. Crazy soft. Softer than cotton.

It’s a type of rayon fabric made from beech tree cellulose. Some underwear manufacturers use it. Very soft, very comfy. It’s the reason podcasters successfully sell MeUndies. 🤣
