Reply to comment by pinktortex in Saying 'aughts' or '10s' still sounds super weird, but every other decade (70s, 90s, etc.) sounds fine. by mr_never_lift

Reply to comment by RubyTavi in Realizing that there is nothing unique about you can be both very comforting and very appalling. by RubyTavi
Exactly. So because we only see your comment, we know you are the only one who had the thought to post it and then did. This makes you unique.

So hockey is almost exclusively played in the US?

The way I see it you guys are arguing the two sides of the scale but haven't said where the balance is for each of you.
If everyone is not unique then at what point do the differences stop mattering for you?

I am haunted by vowels… you always think there’s enough, but there never are

I thought it being called the noughties was common no?

Reply to comment by barfsfw in There's been tens of thousands of generations of humans, yet even those just 3 generations back are already forgotten by most living humans. by batsofburden
That sounds really fun. I guess I feel a bit too private to do something like that online, but it might be a cool project for offline.

It's basically irrelevant though. You focused on a minute detail that you could feel right about vs the actual meaning of the post.

I've also thought this about the word "moose". Shouldn't multiple moose be called meese if more than one goose is geese?

You earned a gold star. Now about your yearly raise... Yeah we only made 200% profits this year so we are going to need to put that on hold.
My company did that this year. Record profits, company is expanding, but no raise this year. Last year they gave hourly employees $2 an hour increase. No raises to anyone this year except corporate I suspect. I'm management and didn't see a dime. My team and I literally increased productivity by 25 percent, reduced waste by 15 percent, and almost nobody called in sick.
When I brought it up, I was told "there wasn't room in the budget this year." Fuck off we saved so much money they could have DOUBLED our salaries and wages and we'd still be making record profit.
Edit: Sorry for the salty rant. Last year they showered us with Christmas presents and big bonuses and raises, and this Christmas they paid for like a dozen pepperoni pizzas from Little Caesars while giving a big speech how much money we made them.

As an adult, have you ever had a kid give you a sticker? Especially when it's the sticker they were given first. It's like a little pay it forward type of thing, and it's heartwarming.

Reply to Young generations tend to judge or pity for old generations but the fact is that the later are apparently happier, less anxious and more content with what they achieved or failed to. by red-ed
With how bad mental health care was back then, all the people who were struggling back then died young. A sort of survivors bias.

Reply to comment by KeckyOK in We created the letter G to specifically deal with the hard 'g' sound, yet here we are calling it a 'jee'. by KeckyOK
That’s what cis white men want you to believe. It’s all part of big Alphabet’s attempt to control our sexuality using 6G and LGBTQ+ labeling from the Lizard people living beneath DIA. Now if you are paying attention, that’s a 6 from 6G, 6 symbols in LGBTQ+, and 6 letters in Lizard. 666, the number of the beast, is also the name or an Iron Maiden song. Maiden has six letters and the band is led by Bruce Dickinson. Who is another Bruce we know? That’s right. Bruce JENNER! Formerly Bruce Genner, with a G, before transitioning to cover up his involvement with the lizard people. Coincidence? I think not. It all comes full circle.

I beg to differ. If someone came up and stuck a ‘Well Done’ sticker on me or gave my report a gold star it would genuinely make my day. We need more stickers for adults.

Ah no I don’t think so, it’s just a cartoon and red is the color most people and kids associate with crabs.
