Wrong!

If dozens of people tell you you’re doing it wrong, then it’s time to take a critical look at your actions, instead of just accusing everybody else of doing it wrong.

Not being able to process criticism without immediately getting defensive will make your life more difficult than it needs to be.

Then again, it is a skill that some people simply do not have. You might be literally unable to “defeat the ego” and have absolutely no doubt about your actions, even after so many people gave you feedback, people like that exist.

No, the problem is definitely with your communication.

All this time, you had the rule that you have to use barley. But instead of communicating that, you only wrote that you HAVE barley.

Having something doesn’t mean that you are required to use it. I have rice, it doesn’t mean I have to use it in my next meal.

If somebody makes a steak from the pantry without barley, they have not followed your hidden intention, but they have followed your instructions.

So… it just seemed like your challenge was “tell me a food you like” in an unnecessary roundabout way.

Aside from purely theoretical, philosophical interest (suuuure), it doesn’t really matter, does it?

“Ah yes, now that you showed us the opinion of these online strangers on your phone, we will be ok angering your father - the man who famously hires ex-legionnaires for protection of his family - for a little hanky panky.”

But that’s really sad, if you think about it.

“Generally in the USA, it’s considered suspicious.”

That means generally, Americans are unaware of these father-child activities.

That means generally, Americans didn’t have a good father.

Now, a lot of people would intuitively jump to “Nah my dad was ok” - but if this isn’t normal behaviour for you, then you’re just unaware of how bad your whole frame of reference is. That is a tough pill to swallow, though.

It certainly looks like lynching; it’s giving USA

Yeah it’s not like it’s 14 years old or something like that!

I think that’s a slight pun.

The “-archy” part comes from the greek for “to rule/command”. Monarchy = rule by a king, oligarchy = rule by few, etc.

And the “an-” part means “not” or “without”. So anarchy technically means “not ruled” or “without rule” - but if things are still being ruled, it would still be an “archy”, not a “not archy”.

The chance that they agreed on that and she wouldn’t mention it is slim, though

Well, there ARE torpedoes that pretend to be a ship in order to trick ships and other torpedoes to go for them, instead of the submarine that fired it.

But yeah “specifically” designed to sink ships sounds weird when that’s what most of them, with only few exceptions, do.

we’re talking about regular people

I thought we’re talking about Hüseyin Dogru?

Partly… Look at the original Nazis. The nazi part is usually added to make the distinction with different periods - but for that period, the whole nation is referred to as nazi Germany.

The only way this answer could have been more hung up on the letter instead of the spirit of that comment, would be if you had said “with just your eyes you can watch a video explaining that the world is round”.

Actually it’s interesting, because I guess they’re musicals, but they’re not filling them with, like, musical music anymore.

Instead it’s now just pop songs, you know, standard verse-chorus pattern etc., because then it can get in the charts and make more money that way.

We probably won’t get anything close to a “Poor unfortunate souls”, “Bear neccessities” or “Be prepared” ever again.

Already any plans for becoming childless?

And in this story specifically, the cyclops is a main story point.

Someone might describe the story as “It’s about a guy who gets lost and fights a cyclops”. If someone describes it as “It’s about a guy who gets lost and fights a black person”, I wouldn’t know what they’re talking about.

I don’t care if there’s black people in historical dramas, but the person responding in the image probably feels like they did such a sick burn, while what they really did was utterly fail logical thinking.

Well… studying computer science in order to write production code, is like studying chemistry to become a chef.

I can assure you, unlike OP, I am comfortable using different collection types as the tools they are, even without having spent years studying the theory behind them.

I’m sure many of us would prefer “Fuck you, Endymion”.

Based on other protests, probably?

Apart from that, killing 12000 people is a huge effort even for a military using artillery and whatnot. If you have some military insight, just think of the logistics.

Or compare to the massacres Nazis did in WW2. Extreme cases like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had something like 20000 people killed on site, so you see how believing that they pulled of more than half of that here, without all the supporting context the nazis had, is not a given.

Technically yes, but in the context of symbols (which is what this is about) it doesn’t work.

If you stumbled upon a sign with a bug exoskeleton, you’d think “ah yes, this means death”?

I assure you Canadians and Mexicans do not want to be called Americans, especially these days
