you know the feeling of waking up from a horrible nightmare, how you thus feel ๐จ๐ค ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐๐โso, ๐จ๐ค glad it was only a dream?
great! now imagine the exact opposite. it is a jolly olde time. ha-ha!
@arlingtonchurch Hey, on y'all's "how to address the clergy" page, you say to address archbishops as "Your Excellency". I thought that this was ๐ข๐ค๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ for archbishops, but that they ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ got "Your Grace" (y'know, like a duke). Am I mistaken?
@josephdviviano@BLACKHAL0_ looks to me like it has some quotes from P.K.D.'s VALIS. "the Empire never ended"
should probably be some mention of pink lasers in there too lol. although maybe we shouldn't mock Dick's pink laser, since it told him his son needed emergency surgery... & turned out he did ๐ค
none of that rebuts the claim in the OP; we're not talking about presidential pardons or DoJ DEI rollbacks. ๐คทโโ๏ธ you'd need to show a study wherein no racial bias in favor of black defendants on the part of blacks and/or white Dems is detected.
the statement about "longer sentences for similar crimes" isn't true, either: controlling for courtroom behavior, previous convictions, and within-charge-category differences cause the apparent disparity to completely disappear. see Ferguson 2024 & Langan 1994, among others.
@nickcammarata wait... I don't get it. depending on the reading, "10x more agency" seems either hard to understandโmake 10x as many choices per minute? decide things 10x as hard?โor else just like imagining "10x more money" (if I was able to do/buy X, I could do/buy X!โbut I can't, so...) ๐ค
@FoundnAntiquity Salve! I return to (irritatingly) inform you of two minor-albeit-perhaps-relevant finds: (1) L. R. Lind, ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ญ'๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฅ, 1st ed maybe 1963 @ Indiana U. P.; (2) Patricia Johnston, ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ญ, 2012 @ U. of OK Press.
I'm amazed that these have, heretofore, somehow escaped my notice entirely! (Prelim. eval.: the latter seems possibly interesting; the formerโperhaps justly forgotten...)
No idea if these tidbits are actually of any use/interest, but I wanted to make brief note of 'em just in case you intend to keep adding to the list (it's still the bestโmost informativeโI've found! :).
P.S.: IIRC, you do not actually give your own preference ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ณ๐ฆ English ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฅs anywhere (though I may have just missed it, or forgotten)โdo you have one? ๐ค
@sherrod_im@alyssaleann the Guns-'n'-Bugs lifestyle has been the epitome of masculinity for millennia. sad to think that this lady will never get to taste fresh beetle upon her husband's lips, butโwell, "c'est la V",* as the Spaniards say.
*(= "such is [the way of] the vagina" in Spanish (IIRC))
@nickwritesit@alyssaleann ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ'๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ ๐ช๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ'๐ด ๐ค๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ค, as my pappy used to say
'course, pappy had some brain damage from all the liquor, so he said a lot of things
@zplerhop@alyssaleann@KingHazeel well, OP wants to make it very clear that her husband is NOT metrosexual, so it seems there's still some discomfort there ๐ค
@alyssaleann@KingHazeel I can't say I've met many straight men who care about ironing clothes or decorating, but more power to you & Mr. Metrosexual if it's working ๐
@MrBeigeShiba@shitposts_mp4 An interesting point. I always thought it was a shame that the Mu'tazila lost influenceโnot sure, off the top o' me head, if the timeline adds up, but their prominence in Baghdad & the Abbasid era fits with a Mongol cause. (Probably the Seljuks get most of the blame, though.)
@MrBeigeShiba so are we theorizing that arguing with you is merely ๐ฅ๐ช๐ข๐จ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค of impending doomโor that it's actually a ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ข๐ญ factor thereof? ๐ค
