In the secondary, new-age definition of “literally” yes that’s true.
We lost the war for “literally”. It’s now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:
1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.
2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.
On the bright side less people use “absolutely” incorrectly than before.
Please tell me of this enlightened place you come from where racism and discrimination do not exist. Surely they also are accepting refugees and I need but apply? No?
Everyone but my tribe are _______. Hehe I’m so clever.
This in reply to someone calling themselves “The Grammar Police” is art.
Plenty of non-americans care about the US election. It has a fairly large impact on US foreign policy. Apathy toward our government is what allowed us to be in such a sorry state of affairs.

You should take a moment to read up on the topic.

Trump signed the original agreement with the Taliban. Biden delayed the deal from May until September. Trump had a year to handle sorting the agreement he made.
Most of us understand both presidents failed in it’s execution. It’s important you know that Trump lit a short fuse and walked away.
So you “don’t care whatsoever” about fixing the problem you seem so passionate about and would rather winge about it. The rest of us are interested in solutions. You are soapboxing to primarily left leaning people here on Lemmy so I don’t know who you are hoping to proselytize.
Plenty of gun owners are for common sense gun legislation, background checks, mandatory safety instruction, etc. If you want to enact change we need them on our side. What you are doing just creates division and slows any progress we make toward sanity. Mediate your rhetoric.
The one that surprised me is Hooters. They were in Vienna, Budapest, and Prague just to name a couple places. There is a KFC in Venice. There are several Taco Bell in Barcelona including one across the street from La Sagrada Familia. You can see a Burger King and a Subway “sandwich” shop from the Eiffel tower.
My travels in Europe surprised the hell out of me. Virtually every metro area is full of American trash food chains. The one cool thing is they sometimes have local variations on food. I ate at a KFC in Prague out of morbid curiosity and they had an interesting take on the spicy chicken sandwich.
Uncle Ben is that you?
My first thought was they edited the Hue of Reds into Blues so this video doesn’t get auto removed by gore filters.
Reports on the ground indicate Vance repeatedly yelled, “I’m going to be Hokage! Believe it!”, while nearby couch enthusiasts cheered.
Not OP but I think the groupthink here is just using tankie as a catch all whereas their main gripe is accelerationism.
Accelerationism is the new Nihilism for the disenfranchised. It doesn’t take much to grasp and requires little to no input from its supporters in this phase.
Accelerationism is not the answer. I am old enough to see what the traditional tactics have bought us. That doesn’t mean I am willing to watch the world burn so the soil is enriched.
This is much better but your previous comment was awful. It read like a LLM alone wrote it.
That being said I can’t tell you why specifically it reads like that. I’m forwarding it to my friend who is a English professor to find out. If English is your second language then just keep at it and please don’t take the criticism here personally.
