No, I mean that as a kid, I wanted to say every syllable, but I found it difficult. I could hear adults saying it the easy way, but I wanted to know the real word. I loved to read as a kid, and soaked up every word I could find.

For most new native English speakers, it’s Spaghetti (pisketty) and Elephant (efalent). For my son it was Caterpillar (calapitter). I struggled with pronouncing Uncomfortable. I wanted to say every syllable.

I’d suggest “choppers” but it would probably come out “knockers.”

Same with America. Despite TV/Movie Copaganda, most cops go their entire careers without pulling their weapons, and certainly without firing it.

The most likely American citizen to have killed is a military member.

America has been asserting its will be throwing around their economic might for decades, as long as I can remember. It’s nothing new.

I doubt the Colonists really thought it was Indians doing the Tea Party. I’ve never heard of the authorities seriously considering the possibility that the incident was caused by Indians, who would have had a difficult time making their way as an armed group, all the way through Boston into the harbor, and back out again.

It would have been pretty clear by their clothing that they were Colonists, I doubt their disguises went much beyond some face paint and some Indian-style whooping. It was probably just more a matter of disguising themselves, than really putting the blame on the Indians.

Besides, what would be the Indians’ motivation to come in to Boston harbor and destroy the tea? It was the Colonists that had the problem with the Tea tax, the Indians didn’t give a fuck.

“Just live in your car.” - Donald “Marie Antoinette” Trump

What I love best about Marie Antoinette references is that he has NEVER heard of her, and would have no idea how ironic it is to compare her to himself.

I don’t understand the problem. I just go to the grocery store and tell them the stock market is doing great, and they let me take anything I want.

I have to run with my stuff as I leave the store, and often they’re yelling and chasing me, but that’s all part of the fun!

I love this Robin Hood Economy!

Yeah, Marie Antoinette had that problem, too.

My bad. Are these Danes named Rip Van Winkle?

And this is some sort of new revelation? Are these Dutch folks named Rip Van Winkle?

Guitars. I have more than enough, but I still cant resist a good deal on a dirty, old, neglected vintage guitar. Clean it up, fix up any problems, re-string it, play it for a while, and sell it. But if it’s better than something I’ve already got, then I’ll keep it and sell the old one.

I’m slowly building and improving my stable, without spending much money at all. It means my guitars probably won’t say Martin, or Taylor, or Gibson, or Fender, but they’ll all be excellent guitars anyway.

I’m also good with dryers. There isn’t anything on a dryer I can’t fix. They can almost be a Ship of Theseus situation.

Kinda like how the Boston tea party did by dressing up as natives except without the racism.

Since you brought up racism: The point is to keep the cops from identifying you with facial rec, so doesn’t it make sense for a white person to wear a mask of a black person, and vice versa? Or is it bad to fool the cops into blaming a black person for a white person’s crimes? What if the mask is of a black celebrity? Nobody would believe that it was really that celebrity anyway.

Or maybe a white person should just wear a white person mask.

First-rate comment! Thanks!

I don’t play games much, but every decade or so, I get out Quake and play a while. Next time I get the urge, maybe I’ll play the original Call of Duty or Medal of Honor.

What exactly are the cameras scanning for? Is it just measurements between specific points? It would probably work pretty well for that.

I’m sold on the third one being best. Good enough for the Internet.

Nope, I wouldn’t fully believe it. Actual photos are much more convincing.

I don’t trust any photo manipulation for any reason. I understand that it is often necessary for economic, artistic, or graphic design efficiency, but for things I have to trust, I want real photos.
