This problem is apologia for the 9000lb truck. Even an alert driver couldnt see that baby in a car designed to have worse sight lines than a Sherman tank.

Well thank you for the replies. Suffice it to say, I am flabbergasted.

When I’m feeling ill (esp with trouble keeping food down) I usually gravitate toward acai bowls, with some fruit (esp bananas), oatmeal/granola, and some nut paste.

I find that I metabolize this very easily without upsetting my stomach. And it provides me both with an immediate hit of energy (due to the fruit), but also a slightly longer lasting effect (due to the nut paste - although to be sure, on balance, this I still a quickly metabolized meal).

It is interesting has this has come about. Brain wormed conservatives screaming that all of those things are socialism, a person thinking “huh those things sound good, guess I’m a socialist” and that’s the end of anybody’s analysis.

The size of the centipede is distorted by Mercator projection, it’s not that big, don’t worry.

This is what happens when you name your game after a grape.

Why use that image of edgeworth to make your point? That’s edgeworth standing on the right side of the courtroom, where he’s always wrong.

The whole point of the ace attorney games is if you are on the left, you are good and correct. If you are on the right, you are evil and wrong. And if you are in the center, you are either a hopelessly confused idiot, or evil.

I don’t think descriptivist is really operating on a normative level. It is not taking the position people/society ought not try to shape the language. It is simply recognizing the reality that the meaning of a word in language is (*insert specific branch here - but often it is something like “common usage”).

Wow OP, you’re telling me that a rule that, per your Wikipedia article, originated in a 2019 paper, has had a “near” perfect record since 1970? That’s crazy!

The crazy part is, of course, that the record isn’t actually perfect.

The more you look at that door the worse it becomes. It’s actually a total mindfuck, because the zombie is reaching he hand around the outside of the door frame, which almost makes it seem like he’s reaching through a wall - but that same dead space he’s reaching through is part of the connecting wall in the hallway
