I've 100% turned on my blinker for a curve in the road, and I feel like a fucking idiot when I do it. So fortunately I've seen other people do it and I know there's at least a couple of us out there. The worst part is it's been the same curve multiple times. There's nowhere else to go either, the road just bends right, but sometimes I just hit the old blinkety-blink.

What if their arms are just really weak, you do have to turn the wheel slightly more than normal.

You do, it's called property taxes.

What are people going to say, "Yeah, I knew he was gonna do it, but I had other shit going on so I ignored it." Meaningless quote you hear all too often after people commit suicide unfortunately. And I don't mean to admonish anyone, but who comes out afterwards and says "Yeah, his life was shit and he was a miserable fuck it was only a matter of time."

So between February and November, got it.

What time of year was this? I'm gonna take the kids eventually, but I'm pulling them out of school and we are going to find the least peak time possible. I refuse to go anywhere on spring break or over the summer.

Portuguese, to me, sounds like this: msh msh oowow msh msh. I love it.

I don't speak Spanish, but do Spanish authors pull the same shit English ones do, where they give characters absolutely nonsense names with ambiguous pronunciations? Is it even possible? I will read a name of a character or place and spend the next 20 chapters reading the word twice or three times in different ways.

I pronounced epitome epi-tome for the longest time. Now as I read, I pop onto Google when I encounter something I'm unfamiliar with. And I'm 36, my job has me fairly familiar with the English language, but I swear some writers discover a word and they're like "can't wait to use this two or three times in the next couple chapters."

It's that and character/place names, but character names are dangerous lookups, spoiled a plot in WoT looking up how to pronounce Moraine. And the worst part is her name's pretty obvious, but I fucking looked it up anyway. I thought Hermione was obvious as a kid, but that's probably because I transposed the I and O, now that I think about it.

My bag of flour is in a Ziploc bag as we speak. As was the previous bag. The choice between environmentalism and a pantry without flour everywhere is unfortunately an easy one to make for me.

My six year old daughter is getting the hanging of the spelling and whatnot, but earlier on in her Kindergarten year, words like "driver," to her, started with a J. I had never thought about it, but it absolutely (at least in our NJ dialect) has a J sound, because, as you say, we all talk fucked up (paraphrasing).

I feel like it's the glottal T. I know for me, personally, my tongue doesn't touch my teeth, but there is still a T sound. I am not British, though I am from Jersey (New).

I believe it lacked alliteration. Should've called it Weefill. Do the Water Way with Weefill Water Waypoints, where you're in for the wettest of whistles.

Dozzi92 , 16 days ago to Microblog Memes in Yes, yes we do.

Yeah, that ship has sailed, unfortunately. Pandora's box has opened and my phone and my income stream are pretty intertwined at this point. It's also how I Lemmy.
