What the fuck is wrong with English transcription/pronunciation? Explain "aisle".
>>151
back when england had this weird inferiority/superiority complex in regards to france and french due to technically being a holding of norman invaders (who in turn took a few centuries to come to grips with how having a kingdom is cooler than having a duchy, even if you regard the place as a backwater that bristles at your ownership), it was mistaken for being related to "île"; an easy mistake to make, seeing how the language of medieval churchly and knightly life is full of shit where stuff got imported while the 's' was considered part of the french word but was still in flux unlike today where in metropolitan french it is silent (esquire, isle, fest, castle, paste). even in the generation following the hundred years' war, a lot of england's printing was done on the continent by people who were by profession printers, not linguists, some of whom still held out unrealistic hopes for a merger (not an uncommon opinion, mind you).
samuel johnson's dictionary recognizes that "aisle" is an error, but by then it was too late--for saving English spelling, it has always been too late. shit was already fucked by the time chaucer rolled around.
but in the wide world of languages, there's always going to be shit that just doesn't work out the way it's supposed to. as crazy as english spelling is, the language has been remarkably stable over the past 500 years as long as you can get over certain issues, and spelling is the big one, which mostly settled down around the time printers decided (mostly on their own, it appears) that having an s that looks like an f is sucking insane.

anti tax refund people act like the people who opt to get a refund are just retard plebs and forget that most people aren't financial planners tracking every single penny like a vulture, they're just broke and working some shit job. give them an extra $20 a week and it'll get spent on stupid bullshit like food and gas. it's like the finance jew version of "why dont millennials just work for a year and buy a 4 bedroom house for $35k like we did lol", spouted by clueless retards with an agenda.
>>154
there are anti tax refund people?
why? is this another of those EVIL GUBMINT SPYING ON US things? wouldn't have imagined refusing to collect free money is a very popular position.
>>155 the idea is
if you're actually getting a tax refund, it's because you set withholding too high, meaning you paid the government too much in taxes. that's why they give you the refund in the first place. but you're technically giving the government an interest free loan in the interim between tax seasons. but if you ask the average person working some garbage retail job to support two kids whether they'd rather have an extra $20 a week or if they'd rather have a $2000 lump sum once a year, guess which one they'll pick? like most "financial advice" it sounds good in theory but ignores the reality of the actual people who could use the advice the most.
>>156
okay, that makes some logical sense, let's do the math
if the government paid us interest on excess tax withholdings, it would probably have to be at a competitive rate with banks' business lines of credit or they'd just borrow from them instead - I'll use Bank of America which offers 7%
for a hypothetical $2000 return we're paying about $38.47 in excess withholdings a week, now plug that all into something like https://www.savingscalculator.org/weekly/
result: the gubmint is robbing us to the tune of $73 a year
now $73 isn't nothing particularly if you're poor, but is it worth getting butthurt to the tune of boycotting your entire return over? you decide. meanwhile I'll just donate plasma a few times or work a little overtime to earn at least that much cash and counteract my losses
>>157
yeah, basically. now divide that interest by 52 to figure out how it applies to your workweek. the average person living hand-to-mouth wouldn't really be helped out by an extra ~$40 a week as they would a sudden single payment of $2000. $40 a week means they might eat a bit better or have some extra gas, $2000 all at once means they can pay down debts, put a down payment on a car, move to a better apartment, or just blow it all on liquor and frivolous bullshit (admittedly not an uncommon use of refund money). a McJob worker would pretty much always be better served by just taking the refund, someone with a decent wage would be better off setting withholdings as low as possible.
>>156
$20 × 52 weeks = $1040 a year, the $2000 would literally be the better deal in the first place, gg no re
>>159 we hadn't done the math yet at that point, that was just ballparking

It was indeed called sparrowOS, and before that it was called LoseThos, which was also terry's twitter handle, why do I even know this shit?
RIP Terry and thank you to all the good people who donated to mental health and homeless charities in his name after his passing.
>>163
his was a unique existence
i think the reason for my confusion is i probably just skipped over it when it was sparrow (I was probably searching about how 64-bit OSes that weren't Unix or Windows were getting along), then again after it was renamed and spammed on a news site somewhere. so, that's easy to chalk up to deja vu. an OS written solo to that much completion with such a religious focus is so out of the realm of likelihood that perhaps the brain must either reject having seen it and disbelieve that it even runs, or never forget it was a thing.
being religious myself, i had to be a bit leery of the assertions that RNG word salad is a message from God, but even then I also kind of detected that something was off and inspiration was about all he had left going for him. didn't make it any less shocking to hear what he got up to as things deteriorated further.
some of his motivations in making it weren't wrong, though. a lot of programmers who grew up on BASIC and imagined up so many wonderful possibilities for their programs back in those days have failed to recapture that magic no matter what they try, if they try. bless them all for trying.

Wikipedia is the best website because discussion and content aggregation are kept separate. Context and identity are only important for discussions and when they are separated from content all posts in the aggregate gain an implied quality.

why is it when a woman owns a bunch of dildos it's "liberating" and "empowering" but when I as a man do it it's "gay"
>>187
if it's a joke, it's hardly original, so let's joke that originality is more likely and go with not.
>>187,188
I mean I do own a bunch of dildos but I totally understand why it's gay. I was just joking on the way that line of thought usually goes which is "why is dildo strong empowered woman and fleshlight is creepy manchild".
Please don't be mean to me.
>>189
it was frowned upon for women to talk about sexuality openly so women talking about dildos and shit is somewhat of a novelty, relatively speaking, so there must be a liberating feeling when discussing their sexuality on the public sphere, I guess. Wouldn't know I'm not a girl.
Also, men not getting laid = abominable loser is still ingrained on the public subconscious and it'll be that way for a bit, until gender roles change or everybody accepts polyamorous relationships as socially acceptable or whatever hellish post-capital deathscape changes the way relationships work
And there's something to be said of fleshlight's own marketing, which makes the product feel a bit sketchy. Dildo marketing is more lowkey.
My advice to you >>189 is that you should stick with Tenga eggs.
>it was frowned upon for women to talk about sexuality openly
that wasn't really exclusive to women, do you think that before feminism men were just going around talking about how much they jacked off all the time? also I've tried various onaholes and fleshlights and whatnot but I pretty much prefer to be on the receiving end if you catch my drift.

I was about to complain about the idea of natives since they're just humans who just migrated and settled on the other side of the globe, but I'd probably be pissed too if some random assholes were like "imagine migrating to the other side of the world on foot!! this post was made by boat gang" and started ruining everything.

A little bit surprised how King James never seems to show up in "all these historical figures meet each other" type fiction, but not super surprised either.
>>219
Well, they all mostly focus on warriors or people whose accomplishments can be easily translated to the sphere of conflict (by making them magical or something.) King James's notability stems from mostly keeping the peace in his dominion and presiding over an unmatched period of English cultural development, which was no small feat when the rest of Europe was literally tearing itself apart over some pieces of paper a monk nailed to a door, but doesn't exactly write itself into a standard hero's journey type plot.

I did what I could with what was available to me.
I feel like the older I get, the stupider I get. I don't know if this is true, or if I'm just more aware of my own stupidity. Probably a bit of both.
I've forgotten almost everything I learned in school that is not relevant to my daily life. I've lost my faculty for eloquent discourse out of sheer disuse. I find it difficult to concentrate enough to read anything with more depth than a sci-fi novel. My eager desire to constantly learn and create has been replaced by a complacency to consume mindless drivel.
I blame the internet.
I'm attracted to nerdy men too but because I've literally been that guy and I know how bad it can weigh you down and make you feel like shit. Dunno how you'd call that fetish but I wanna help them with their sexual frustration.
>>242
You may be shocked--shocked!--to hear this, but "learned in school that is not relevant to my daily life" and "consume mindless drivel" are just two sides of the same coin. The common element is that you know this shit doesn't matter, but feel a compulsion for it anyway. Your brain is probably tired rather than dulled down.
The Internet is one of the best tools for falling into that, but is also one of the best tools for climbing out of that. It's not necessarily the abyss' fault that it was dug.
If you perceive a problem here, perhaps you need to make more concrete decisions about what actually matters to you, and maybe that will clear things up enough to make progress. If it's not enough, well, at least you're not alone; self-help/productivity products is a multi-billion dollar industry with a notorious track record of not really working. I have my recommendations, though....
