Does “trolling” just mean “being trashy” now? Lol
I went to Rotten Tomatoes to read the reviews. Had me cracking up with how negative they were. Lol
There are people who advertise that service at funerals.
I was about to bring this up!! Yes! It was a two page spread. My jaw dropped. Awesome comic.
ADHD. A lot of people might say depression, and ADHD gets misdiagnosed this way too, especially because people are much more familiar with the way depression manifests rather than how ADHD actually manifests beyond stereotypical hyperactivity and difficulty focusing.
What you’re describing is executive dysfunction and energy regulation problems. The reason you can’t stop scrolling is because your brain doesn’t produce dopamine enough, and it’s only used to the short bursts it can produce. This creates a feedback loop where you’re stuck stimulating yourself with quick, easy dopamine hits, and that’s why anything that seems like a prolonged task feels like an impossible endeavor. It’s also why you’ll get tunnel vision if you ever do start playing that game.
Yup. That phenomenon is called “analogical change”. The opposite happens too though! For example, “person” and “parson”.
Actuallyyy…
Goose comes from Old English, where they pluralized [go:s] (think “goes” with a soft S) by adding [iz] (like “ease”).
When saying [go:siz], it was kinda hard for the mouth to switch the vowels from the [o] to the [i] quickly, so to save themselves the trouble, they’d change the first vowel to make it a little more similar to the second, so [go:siz] became [ge:siz].
Then, that was too long, so they dropped the [z]. [ge:si] (think “guessy” but the “e” lasts a bit longer than usual).
Then, that was too long, so they dropped the [i]. [ge:s] (“guess” with that same drawn out “e”).
📯It’s the Great Vowel Shift!📯 Now, [go:s] and [ge:s] become [gu:s] and [gi:s]. Almost there!
The vowels become a tad short over time, and now, you have [gus] and [gis] which are written “goose” and “geese”.
But “MOOSE”? That’s Algonquin. It has nothing to do with all that noise. “But they sound the same and are written the same?!” So? Haven’t you heard? English orthography is a dumpster fire. Nobody knows what they’re doing. Not even the words.
Somebody’s gotta do it. 🐥
They knew what they were doing… They had to. Lol
This just means “to insult”. Not exactly interchangeable with “overcome with a negative emotion”.
But yes, I fucking hate this kind of hyperbole in news headlines. The other one I see is blasts like somebody legit fired a Kamehameha wave at somebody else.
A lot of Austin, Texas too.
Based on the “leaves of 3, let them be” rule, that tree is surrounded by poison ivy.
Lots of back pain is caused by underworked muscles that develop inconsistencies in strength and begin getting sore trying to keep up at the littlest things.
Strengthening your mid and lower traps is wildly important. Then the spinal erectors. Finally, the obliques. I’d mention abs, but like, duh.
Good luck.
Not with that attitude!
DOOM. Mick Gordon. Shame what they did to him though.
I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.
