So you’ve never actually seen them slam the door?

Might just be a bad latch.

Now I’m pretty sure you’re just talking in circles. Go enjoy your day because this conversation has ended.

Not for the last 3 replies you haven’t. If that’s your only point then we aren’t in disagreement. You and I both know where the term originated. It seems like you’re fighting the idea that it could change since then. If that’s the case I’ll reiterate, language changes. Slang changes faster than most.

Are you trying to argue that language is static? Because we both know that’s bullshit. Especially when it comes to slang. At this point I don’t know what you’re trying to argue. It seems like you’re trying to derail the conversation instead of defending your position.

We’re also talking about 70 years ago. It’s hard to remember that the 90s weren’t 10 years ago, but let’s stay on topic.

Not the same as old or middle English I’ll tell you that. I also don’t speak Latin or Germanic despite those being the origin of many of the words I use.

I only use black santas for decoration. I don’t buy into religion, but if I’m going to decorate my house with images of a saint I’m not going to let them white wash him. He was probably middle eastern, but it’s more likely he was black than he was a white dude.

If you definition hasn’t evolved since the 50s it might be a little out of date. That definition could draw retirement at this point.

Probably an offshoot of just how many tankies there are on Lemmy. Some people are definitely getting caught in the crossfire.

It’s also one of the oldest and poorly maintained for much of the country. As the data centers keep going up it’s making it harder and harder to meet customers energy needs.

I support our unmanned airial drones.

You will bomb. Probably more often than not for the first few months. Eventually you’ll feel like you have a rhythm, and then you’ll start bombing again. But every laugh you get will feel like a drug.

So you’re rooting for Russia. Got it. Have a good life.

I fail to see what this has to do with Ukraine. You’re going to have to pull out your 2 dollar words. The war isn’t over until either one side is destroyed or they make peace. Until then there is no winner or loser.

I’m just the most decorated veteran in my family with 5 generations of service, but sure teach me how armed conflict works.

One would argue that the aggressor should be making concessions not the victim, but it seems like you’ve already picked a side.

You’re right. War is hell. We should be pressuring the aggressor to end this before more people die.

Dumb age baiting. There is no war but the class war.

That sounds like piracy with extra steps.
