Time to retire that term. Being “politically correct” in the US clearly means being a bigoted Christian white nationalist, judging by the most recent election.

Don’t remember. All I know is that the average time I’ve spent waiting for when doing self-check is shorter than the average time waiting when not.

Self-checkout has almost always been faster for me. No bullshit narrative, just actual experience.

“My condolences.”

This comment is not a guarantee of sympathy. Sympathy must be reviewed for necessity before determination of it can be established.

No.

THIS IS WRONG. Death hesitated. I MEAN…IT’S RIGHT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT. BUT YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT HAVING. THERE’S NO POINT IN BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING NOTHING.

Prophetic scene from the movie.

(He actually said “people,” not “humans,” though.)

Biden, who time and again pledged to Americans that he would restore norms and respect for the rule of law after Trump’s first term in office, ultimately used his position to help his son, breaking his public pledge to Americans that he would do no such thing.

…after Americans voted that norms and respect for the rule of law don’t mean shit. Fuck 'em, I would have done the same thing.

American voters threw it all away and said that ethics don’t mean shit. He acted accordingly. Fair enough.

That doesn’t mean it’s not still a skill issue.

Be bred for 30,000 years to be dopey and compliant

Right, and the poem is written in such a way that implies they do not.

No, go the other way, it’s closer to Aristotle’s name in the original Greek. Ah-ree-stoh-teh-leese.

So did you think “goose” was pronounced like “choose?” Understandable.

I can see why he’d have trouble with those two, because Spanish doesn’t have the English “z” sound. They’ll both sound the same using Spanish pronunciation .

Usually the reason is either because some jerks intentionally changed certain spellings to look more French/Latin (“receipt” didn’t have a “p” originally, for example), or just because English is such a mongrel language with words taken from various other languages with different spelling and pronunciation rules.

They aren’t universally, just in certain dialects. I pronounce the “th” just like with “clothing.”

“Made” and “bade” supposedly not rhyming confused me, how is “bade” supposed to be pronounced?
