@m_donnelly4u You're here sticking to your fantasy about what you imagine the law should be because you've chosen to sympathize with the police. If by "liberal" you mean "leftist" or "progressive," then you're miles and miles from "as they come."

@scretladyspider Find a friend with the same motivation issue and set up dates to do that thing together. Or trade off helping one another.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@yilinwriter This is like all the times I see other English natives trying to give definitive explanations of stative vs progressive constructions in Japanese and then me hearing/using all sorts of exceptions in daily life.

@yilinwriter Get some of that magic water painting paper so you can practice a lot without wasting ink and good paper.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@meredithmwrites The words are kind of deceptive. It's like salty cheesecake mousse you put on top of a bubble tea drink. Apparently it's best if you don't actually mix it into the tea part.

@enbridgethe3rd Zero gun habit here, but kept a round in my jacket pocket for a while as a souvenir from going shooting w/ a friend. Nearly took it through the metal detector at the airport (pre-9/11) but luckily remembered just before. Had to run it back to the car. Mum was pissed.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@yilinwriter Good luck. I hope it’s as easy as swapping a setting or two.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@yilinwriter Otherwise the variants will probably reappear the second the doc is opened elsewhere.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@yilinwriter Only some of those sound like Japanese variants. There are ways to force consistent formatting. Pleco/the mdbg site manages it. If you’re proofreading something sent from your publisher, it’d probably be less effort to ask they figure out their encoding issues and resend.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@yilinwriter Not all shared unicode characters have all three, so you might be getting Japanese ones for things like 门 (which looks like 内 with the bottom bit of the 人 erased). Japanese normally uses 門 with the 日's not 王s, but the simplified form exists and shares encoding with 门.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@yilinwriter @YJTHECAT Apparently the slanting 月 is a traditional Chinese thing. The Japanese variant differs in the 亡. I'm guessing that they all share the same unicode designation and which appearance you get depends on font, local settings and in-application settings.

@ElieNYC @michaelharriot As someone who's trying to fill in some of the gaps in my whitewashed knowledge of US history, Black AF History was an experience in whiplash between "wow, this person I never heard of was amazing!" and "wow, this event I actually had heard of was so much worse than I realized."

Maybe @IwriteOK can help a fellow knife aficionado/massive nerd.

@_alialkhatib I dunno about chart topping, but it was pretty strong. I hope everyone gets the hell away from the coast though since even a tsunami under 1m is like a supercharged riptide and can easily roll people standing in its way.

@DavidHemenway1 @roguecaliber I knew a dude who tried to ride a giraffe once. It didn't go well, but it was his dad who really beat his ass when he finally limped home.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@ElieNYC He should get extra points for making that goofy ass lawyer uniform look good, too.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@NarniaPronounz @IwriteOK Exactly. And people suggesting the shooter brandish the gun or just punch the dude aren't acknowledging how much risk those options entail. Should we require someone to shoulder a certain amount of risk to himself before shooting? Maybe. But we'd better know what we're asking.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@veezopolis @IwriteOK Mostly agree, but you couldn't be more wrong about that last sentence. Women are constantly criticized for how soon and how much we respond to threats others think aren't dire enough. If anything, the shooter here is getting a taste of life as a woman.

[A. Noyd @A_Noyd]

@UrfeNick Probably not all that well-worn. He has to replace it regularly as the pages get stuck together.

@ElieNYC Getting flashbacks to this:
