That's more like 70% hugging and feeling and 30% dancing...

Rgat is 1% understanding dancing, and hugginh. It is not going to end very well

My spelling sucks as well I see

Don't confuse taste with understanding.

BENIGHTED MUSSOLINI

Apparently I'm like the second person in history to come up with that.

Maybe we should trend performatively-tautological greetings.

"Greetings"

That means the greeting is perfectly neutral and we can move on immediately. Pretty awesome, right?

Vernacularize it?

Grits.

Yo, grittles.

?

hi should do, among my friends things are a bit more creative though

Been grading too many mediocre papers today. Thanks for the lol.

My nephew (sister's boy) is turning into a drag I think. I don't have a problem with these things (anymore) but should it be encouraged just of because, maybe you got it wrong and destroy someone if you support it

Don't be scared. It's similar to any costume-based group.

I think differently nowadays, people can change their minds they are not cemented, hopefully

My mother just keeps on living, the son of a bitch. My mother is a son of a bitch.

It's is increasingly comming clear that my mother made a bad decision getting ocelots, these are not housecats. Why do people do that, getting a wild animal and expecting it to be a domesticated one, they aren't. These ocelots of her are friendly but constantly on their toes, anything unexpected scares them

Afghanistan or Greenland? Question 1

Afghanistan or Greenland? Question 1

Kangerlussuaq doesn't sound much like a Central Asian word, but the Latin-alphabet graffiti marked from the 1990s is pretty suggestive.

The "Marius Olsen-ip Aqq." sign and Royal Arctic container a few steps ahead more so.

Is it supposed to be hard to distinguish the topology or geology? Is the grass the wrong species?

(I wonder if anyone has tried building point-and-click games off Google Street View content.)

Indeed, -(su)aq is a quite common ending in many or all inuit languages.

I just thought that precise scene that you get when you click the link looked quite similar to certain scenes from Afghanistan (dry land, mountainous, basic road standard, basic bridge).

For a real game, I'd only have a static image and censored out a couple of things, like the road signs.

Like GeoGuessr?

I wouldn't be able to tell it from parts of the American West, being ignorant and insensate of botanical or geological details.

I mean adventure games.

I am an actual human idiot.

Or possibly just a coward.

Now I'm gonna have to put myself out there even more just because I was too scared to put myself out there in the first place.

I'm still gonna do it though.

Maybe.

The world will move forward with or without you and it won't much care what you do.

Taking an active role for yourself might get you something for yourself, or it might not. Not taking and active role guarantees the 'not' result.

I'd advocate stepping out there despite the fear.


If you ask her and she says 'no,' how are you worse off than never asking?

If you try to make something of yourself and fail are you more greatly harmed than if you'd done nothing but watch things go by?

[Montmorency]

I was thinking about some time, whether it took an hour or an hour-and-a-half to walk somewhere.

Then I figured it was confabulation, "I didn't have a phone back then so it's not like I could have known the time."

But I used to wear a watch. I could have checked the time on my watch.

Interesting how you assumed he was talking about a woman, or romance.

Also, if it's a woman she could disembowel him on the spot and all existence down to the horizon would implode to feast on his dust.

My hypothetical examples spoke to romance and to personal success respectively.

As to the possibility of evisceration, we are all cherry blossoms anyway.

[the tokai]

Well, I was.

It's totally fixable though. I've just managed to manoeuvre myself into a position where I'll probably have to get a third person involved. Which makes things that much more awkward.

Also, if she wanted to disembowel me on the spot I would definitely accept that. No implosions necessary.

Careful now, this is the Frontroom (Kingdom of Sweetness and Light), not the tawdry Backroom with its shysters, bloviates, and rapscallions.

This could be copied into the Backroom drunkards thread as well -- not that it does not richly qualify as random thought.

Spain vs Portugal, what a match

[Hooahguy]

Can we talk about the Morocco vs Iran match though? Both sad and hilarious.

Also I got myself a new and much better job!

It is sad yes, especially hilarious is how Iran is in the top of the group while they were weaker then Marocco, and obviously not as good as Ronaldo and some Portugese Portugal and Spain

[Husar]

It was sad for the guy, but the way it looks, neither team will progress beyond the group stage anyway.

What was adorable was that Iceland scored its first world cup goal ever and also managed to get a draw against Argentina.
