You're "in a country" but "on a bus".
When I started learning other languages I realised there's no logic to it in any language. You live "in" California but I think it should be "on", but if you said "I live on California" it would have a subtly different meaning.
I'm interested in what AI says is the most logical language when we explain Esperanto to it.

Yeah, some practices are almost irreversible once normalized.

Yes but they’re never going to make women’s pockets with jeans because of the purse industry. It profits way too much off of women not having pockets. And right now there is no big brand that has made that decision to add pockets so there’s no options. And you can’t just make your own company from nothing.

How do you think this happened? One day all pants producers collectively said no pockets? No. It was done progressively, just like phones with no exchangeable battery, and now no charger. One company does it, backlash is not sufficient to harm sales, the practice gets normalized and other companies copy it
There is nothing that can be done now, but people could have acted when it was time if they cared enough

I made these too, but they are not grilled cheese sandwiches. Just like, if you put tomato sauce on them they didn't instantly become pizzas.

When you die your muscles relax. You lose whatever you've been holding, so yes, your bowels empty when you die. If you're constipated at the time you probably retain some though.

It's an isosceles triangle. One side is friendship length, two sides are romance length.

Reply to We all find it totally normal to see people sleeping in airport chairs but out on the street or in a park it is usually frowned upon by Life-Meal6635
Some places still have laws against sleeping anywhere in public.

What? It describes a man or woman whose spouse has died and they haven’t remarried.
You are not a widow/er just because you haven’t married.
