7 days agoI can’t watch original series Star Trek because of the screeching sounds that happen whenever we are supposed to feel dramatic surprise and/or suspense. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

That’s actually correct usage in several dialects, including African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and Appalachian English (AE). In the US we are brought up to believe that the dialect used by upper middle class white people is “Standard English” and is “correct” but most linguists today recognize that this is an antiquated and problematic way of characterizing language. Each dialect has its own acceptable variations. You can make mistakes within a dialect, but the various dialects are not more or less “correct” based on how close they are to “Standard English.”
It’s because your skin is too lose, it’s easy to get under it.
After the power company (PG&E) got blamed and sued for some big fires that destroyed entire neighborhoods in 2017, they got salty and decided to cut power whenever there were high winds predicted during red flag (high fire risk) days. The worst one was 15 days. I’m on a well with an electric pump, so there was no water for those days either.
Also, I lived off grid for about four years with only enough solar to either charge a phone (no service though) or run a light bulb in the evening. I did go to town to check my email and read the news every week or so.
Not having caffeine during the day, and exercising pretty hard (neither of these things usually happen).
Ya bud, I understand federation. I’m just saying, you’ve commented about how much you hate .world in this thread six times, which is a lot of times, and 99% of your interactions are on .world. It’s incredibly easy to block an instance and never see it again.
Why are you commenting so much on .world if you hate it this much?
With media, you get a lot of straight, white (usually young) men bitching about “forced diversity” if the main characters aren’t their idea of “standard human” which is, of course, a straight, white, neurotypical, cisgender man. He can have a British accent if he’s fancy or an Australian one if he’s rowdy. Otherwise American all the way, baby.
