what an apostrophe is normally used for, to show possession

As someone who has learned bits of multiple languages I'll push back on this: contractions are an apostrophes main purpose in both English and every other language, it's the possessive use that's weird. (I should be clear that I'm counting languages that use an apostrophe to denote a gutteral sound in the middle of a word as being basically a contraction, as that's generally what they get kinda pronounced as in English)

I bet if you Google it then it's gonna turn out the possessive is an ancient ass contraction

the United States has a functioning railroad system outside of passenger service

"We have a functioning car if you ignore that the gas pedal doesn't work!"

Passenger rail is part of our rail system AND the topic of OP for anyone who can read. Its terribleness is in many ways the freight systems fault (at least Amtrak specifically) so it absolutely loses points on the functional scale since usually things that function well don't actively damage other related things

gamermanh , 2 days ago to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

Vice: bad habit, especially used as a form of escapism

Not what it means. You'd also have to prove it's a
bad habit even if it were the meaning

my vice is alcohol

Also not a vice unless you're a weird ass prude

You don’t need to be defensive about it

Pointing out your holier-thsn-thou attitude is stupid because you're straight-upwrong about something isn't being defensive.

You don't like it, that doesn't mean it's immoral to do it

Genocide

That's it? That's what makes him sooo EVIL?

You realize how awful you sound, right? Genocide isnt evil to you?

because if you get tRump again

Irrelevant. Criticism of Biden doesn't automatically mean support for Trump, so fucking sick of seeing that stupid claim

smoking it stinks up the whole block/park. You need to get a handle on that.

Sploofs and vapes

it’s a vice

Oh, you're one of those. No, it's not.

Vice: immoral or wicked behavior

All the salty downvoters mad because they personally find somethig immoral when it's not. Stay mad

Bruh, what?

gamermanh , 3 days ago to RetroGaming in I miss console ads being this weird

Are you seriously implying this is the only pose you could use to show that off?

No, don't put words in other people's mouths. Just because you read it as sexual does not mean that was the intention

Mansplain

Nobody's been condescending but you, motherfucker.

her in a pose with tongue out

Yeah, so you can see the logos forming the pattern of the face buttons on the pills.

This is highlighted by the fact she is looking up, with the camera focused on her face.

becausw she's getting high, this is really common "being high" imagery. That's even why it looks slightly sexual: orgasms are just a different kind of high.

but I'm sure as hell not going to tell a woman she's not allowed to be offended by sexualization of another woman to sell Playstations.

Nobody said she can't be, they just pointed out her reasoning doesn't really hold much water, because it doesn't. People can feel however they want about something, none of us can stop them.

While my sentence could be worded more clearly, that's a pretty bad reading of what I said.

My car is valued by KBB at ~6k in it's current state.

That current state includes a battery that was replaced under warranty 6 months ago, and is thus basically a brand-new battery, 9 years left on its warranty and everything.

So if something goes wrong with the battery and it isn't directly your fault: it gets replaced for free. The only 6k being spent is the original 6k on the car as a whole

gamermanh , 5 days ago to xkcd in xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas

I'll get an electric when I can get a used one for around $5k and not have to worry about the battery going out and costing $20k.

The lie detector determined that... Was a lie!

gamermanh , 5 days ago to xkcd in xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas

My car has a basically brand-new battery (6 months old) and is currently estimated at 6k or so

The time is here already my guy
