Don't ask for more when you already have enough. People are sheep and they will never stop paying for streaming services. Onlyfans destroyed porn industry and reddit porn side.

  • spelling "catsup" as "ketchup" is as juvenile as spelling "night light" as "nite lite"

  • Ohio isn't part of the Midwest

  • all of Rory's boyfriends in The Gilmore Girls were terrible, but Logan is the worst

  • using a slur "because it's not a bad word in my culture" still isn't okay

Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept

I was 100% in agreement with all of them until the last one.

The red nub on IBM/Lenovo laptops is far superior to a touchpad

I believe you are referring to the Thinkpad clit.

People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.

I could easily die on Mt Washington, NH.

My favourite hill is Mount Robson so I guess that one

Both employer related:

  • no biometrics
  • birthday not for sale

The hill upto the finishline on my local park run this morning was way harder than usual, so (almost) that one today!

Don't say "acronym" when you mean "abbreviation"!

"Acronym" specifically refers to an initialism that forms a new word. For example,

  • scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus)
  • NASA (pronounced like a word - you don't say "ehn eh ess eh").

It's acro- (height) -nym (word) - a word that exists on top of / above other words.

In contrast "NIH" is not an acronym because it isn't pronounced or read as a word. It's appropriate to say, "'NIH' is an abbreviation" or "'NIH' is an initialism". But saying "'NIH' is an acronym" is wrong!

  1. The big hill in my neighborhood park.

  2. Capital Hill

I don't really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.

It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans

Iโ€™ve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?
