But we stuck it to the Democrats by getting Trump into office! That was supposed to fix the problem! /s

Do they expect Canada to just let them walk away

This is actually the best idea if taken literally. They can emigrate.

That’s insane. Sure, an accidental discharge is an accident. Whatever.

Pointing the gun in the direction that an accidental discharge would kill somebody is a guilty act.

And having the gun loaded should be, too.

There’s a sliding scale, and Iran is at “Government orders citizens shot”, and the US is at “Government defends actions of officials who shot citizens”.

It’s unfortunate that the US has passed “Government fires official who shot citizens”, but it’s still not at Iran’s level.

Did Canada have its first school shooting of the year before the US? It’s the first one I’m hearing about this year anywhere in the world!

Who is “they”?

With the situation in the US right now plus the pandemic plus the job market plus all the other stuff that’s been bubbling up where I live, the new 20’s have been proving themselves to be pretty bad.

Well, I’m not exactly being ironic. It’s unfortunate… they’re winning.

I won’t stop fighting, and I hate that they’re winning. And I believe, as progress always does, that those of us who oppose the far right will eventually win.

Congratulations to the far-right. You’re winning.

My partner’s family really wanted to buy me gifts before I thought we were that close. So I bought them gifts that same year!

…but not for a different party? That kinda defeats the purpose of voting imo

I think the problem was that you wrote a comment that wasn’t understandable

Workers throwing off their chains of the right to vote?

Or never at all! Haha

I don’t think age determines when that happens

Suh-poon is also reasonably common!

It if you speak Spanish, “Es-poon”!

My apologies though, I got it backwards. I’ll edit the comment to be accurate, but for router (networking stuff)…

“oo” is more common outside of North America.

“au” is more common in North America.

I feel like a lot of people just drop the “I a” and say “'preciate it!”, lol

(That’s assuming you’re using it like “thank you”, and aren’t just starting a sentence)

Mispronunciation. “Mis” isn’t a word, but a prefix (or something) that gets attached to another word to modify it. Since it’s not its own word, it gets prepended to the root word (“pronounce” in this case) without a dash.

German would always have the capital. In English, proper nouns get capitalized. There’s an official list, I’d bet, but a good rule of thumb is that titles (books, movies), specific place names (Germany, London, Abbey Road), people’s names (Bob, Reiner), and “I” (but not “me” etc) are put into “Title Case”. (Title case wouldn’t be capitalized, I just typed it that way to demonstrate it)

I actually like a lot of the German capitalization rules. On the internet, a lot of people will be more casual with capitalization. Some people will capitalize “important words”, or things that aren’t proper nouns but have a different meaning than usual…but these kinds of things are improper.

As for routing (and router, and heck…route in general)…both are correct pronunciations of this “ou”. I think “au” is more common for networking in North America, and “oo” is more common in other English-speaking countries (the UK, Australia…).

As for “route” as in “Route 56”, I tend to hear and say both/either (I’m in North America).

Sorry it’s so inconsistent!

“sp” cluster can be hard. So can “sk” at the end of a word. Hence why you can get “axe” instead of “ask”
