Metric is the best system 2 comments
shepard530 · 3 years ago
Look, as an American, I agree the metric system is generally superior. However, it simply isn't feasible for the US to move to it. We are more comfortable with imperial, and it would be prohibitively expensive to change the signage. And we still use metric where it truly matters (in science).

How you got time to text me, bruv? 7 comments

Yeah, and the other side should be a lot more to the point about it too. "Hey, we are short-handed tonight, so if you are available to come in on your night off, we'll give you time-and-a-half, even if it's just a couple of hours." I get that text message, I would strongly consider coming in, because they clearly know it's a favor, not an expectation.

That's pretty much the definition of a grey hat. Doing it illegally, but with non-destructive purposes.

And the character growth is staggering as well. Tavi at the start of "Furies of Calderon" is a completely different character from Tavi at the end of "First Lord's Fury", but he is still recognizably Tavi, and the change happens gradually and believably over the course of the series.

They went to the world of Carna, where they founded the realm of Alera, which they guarded with help of nature spirits called Furies, duh.

Cats did not model meows after babies to manipulate us. Kittens meow to get their mother's attention, but eventually, momma cat stops responding to the meows, so they stop. Humans, on the other hand never stop responding. So, in a way, cats remain forever a kitten in their interactions with us.

A misunderstanding 2 comments

Makes me think of a quote from Galaxy Quest:
...
"Are those the miners?"
"Sure, they're like three-year old."
*Gives WTF look* "Miners, not minors!"
...
RIP Alan Rickman, even in a goofy Star Trek spoof, you still were the master of the droll one-liner.

Most of those positives would be Darius the Great, though his son Xerxes is more often used in popular culture, since he was king during the battle of Thermopylae.

No problem. I felt it needed to be added, because Orwell was actually pretty staunchly Socialist in his beliefs regarding society, just not precisely Marxist, and certainly not what one would call Communist.

It is against Authoritarianism, in all the many forms it can take, whether it be through Communism, Fascism, or any other form.
