Got something against English people? Dude was born in the UK and is an Oxford dropout.

I genuinely love Robwords and watched one yesterday about lost negative words, but no, I looked this one up manually because I was curious. I’ll go look for Rob’s video today because I’d love to know more and he’s a great presenter.

I just learned the other day that in English “you” is the old formal.

Here in Pennsylvania, we know that Quakers used thee and thou far longer than anyone else. Turns out, that was a protest movement. You and yours were used for nobility and royalty, the piece I was reading said the “royal we” is a leftover from this setup.

As a protest against classism and politics, Quakers refused to use you and yours at all and used thee and thou for everyone regardless of status. Instead, common usage English went the other way and adopted you and yours for everyone.

My mother met old Quaker ladies in the 1950s who still used thee and thou in common conversation.

Thanks! My husband and I I watched this while we were in the UK for our wedding that year.

We opened up this Kyle Hill a few days ago to watch it since he’s in our regular rotation and stopped it in the intro, looked at one another and said “Oh shit! The J-curve thing!”

I love how Kyle covers this too. He’s great.

Argentinian government debt is mostly owned by big American investment firms like Black Rock. If their economy crashes, American Oligarchs lose $$$$ so they convinced Trump this is in his best interests.

That doesn’t feel like a lot of money but public library directors aren’t paid very well so that’s likely more than 10 years of salary.

Could it be that these guys are going to “Where are we going, Papa EA?” them in a few years?

(Can’t find a link to the referenced comic on my phone but basically EA is known for buying up smaller studios and then closing them only a few years later after sucking them dry. This led to a comic of them taking little unsuspecting companies into the dark woods to end them.)

French’s just changed their mustard recipe and my whole house rioted because it tastes “wrong now.” I don’t eat mustard but my husband and kids made me go to the discount grocery to stock up on “old French’s” before it goes away.

Yeah they are called experts and they used to be employed by Universities and Research groups. But Americans decided they didn’t care or want people who actually had credentials, talent, or acclaim somewhere around 2016 and have spent all their time tearing down everything that made people credible experts in their field.

In information literacy circles we called this “the death of authority”, which basically means nob one cares who wrote or said something any longer. The person providing the opinion no longer has enough weight on the thing being said to keep absolute yahoos from being considered as good as experts.

Information and media literacy tells people to look at 4 things about a source

Currency (when it was published) Authority (who wrote it) Relevancy (how does it relate to what you are doing) Purpose (why did the author want you to know this)

And all of these are being eroded away. News articles pushed at you with no date, Opinions and Editorials disguised as regular news articles, etc.

Thanks grandpa. Did you walk in with a firm handshake too? /s

Jokes aside, I understand this worked for your industry for trade work but the OP asked for job websites.

Presumably, that would be content awareness and copyright compliance’s job to attend to? Enough of the commentary creators I enjoy have moved to a new platform specifically to avoid being demonetized for showing short clips that I assume straight reposting wouldn’t need a whole AI push.

In your opinion it will be reaction videos? There’s so many other kinds of “unoriginal” content they could be targeting. AI slop, the videos that are a single still image of a product zooming in and out slowly, there’s tons of different kinds of unoriginal out there.

Your UPS must be different.

Shocked AF that they are on the list at all since they buy their network time from T-Mobile.

Can’t find it right now but here was a great comic about giving a dog the power to speak and they said “give me some of that food you are eating” and the humans said “nope, this is our food” and the dog was so betrayed. Obviously if humans just -understood- that dogs wanted human food they would give it, right?

Right?!

Kiwi Co had stuff started at baby toys so I really recommend you check their site. The DM in me also thinks the toy looks badass but my kids are edging at teens now so I have a bad idea of how long little ones take at things.

This is the first of this style I’ve seen that wasn’t the Magical Cauldron style which is pretty simple. I would suspect that this is also much simpler than it appears. Personally, even at 7-8yo kids would have been done with the chest in less than an hour and it would be more plastic stuff in their room.

I highly recommend looking at Kiwi Co projects instead. They have a huge variety for every age and interest.

I threatened to run this as a booth at a gaming convention once. Set up 6-12 basic challenges and then print certificates with your “real life stats block”

But are getting argyle gun skins?
