discuss about

‘Discuss’ is a transitive verb, and so the ‘about’ is as redundant as saying “ATM Machine”.

And the rest of us boycott in solidarity.

That may be regional. I’ve never heard those two words together in this area. Fluff used to mean padding or excess in 1970s ad-lingo, if I remember it correctly.

People have been speaking with punctuation since language was invented. If you only now realize that pause is an em-dash, that’s on your schooling. :-p

\sigh. Now I know why some people put an S on ‘e-mail’.

You make an excellent point.

I do hope that, when the US fractures, Caloreginton will continue to provide good work for talented people in entertainment. Or at least a plane ticket to Hollywood North.

There is a difference between “using the proper word that conveys that exact idea” and “fad pidgin”. Hint: “the ask”, “the spend”, “literally” and “emails” are words pushed on us by people with small brains and potentially a used-car sales quota to meet, and not something coming out of proper word use.

This is still not a word, my dude.

European countries spend too much on their people’s well-being to properly outfit a military as massive and bloated as America’s.

I think a bit of Canada too.

A section of Canada larger than those three states put together, you mean. The remainder would almost perfectly contain South Carolina.

So a guy reads from an outline or script into a YouTube clip we can view (after ads) with a transcript we can then summarize with an LLM so we can replicate the outline or script originally used?

The downvote and next buttons are, like, right there.

Can we start using “executed foreign nationals in international waters without proof, trial, process or even jurisdiction” yet?

I see he’s still completely tone-deaf, too.

(I’ve never had any problems like this)

Can I come too? I’ll just, like, meet the car en-route. Cool?

I’ll bring Canadian beer. Have you heard of Trash Panda or Space Kitty or Dad Beer? Anything from Propellerhead?
