Rodney dangerfield?

I have the user name “aeao” on Xbox. Just 4 letters. One day it’ll be worth millions!

Irs actually not dangerous in the same way driving blind is. I doubt you care about crumple Zones.

In one situation you drive blindly into an accident… the other “well rear ending can sometimes be bad!!!”

It never is. The you’re wrong, crazy, and also stupid.

You’re entire argument is “driving blindly is safer than stopping blindly” it’s dumb. It’s a dumb argument. When is going ever safer than stopping lol? You are dumb.

You know you are arguing a lot about your right to drive blind. You might be a narcissist. You are arguing very clearly that if you hurt someone while driving blind it’s their fault.

Maybe you are just incapable of empathy. If you kill people bit you get to your destination quicker… that’s a Win.

Maybe you just suck?

Let me ask you this

You’ll get 1 million dollars but a new born infant will be skinned alive… do you take the money?

They’d live to disagree. The people you kill by driving blind wouldn’t. That survivorship biase

I don’t think driving a multi ton machine while blind is a good idea

If you get rear ended you’ll survive. Why should your crappy eyesight or wind shield be my problem? Stay home.

I’m sorry your eyes suck. Why should that be a death sentence for me?

Then stand still

You’d kill less people that way

Very true but if you’re deciding which of the rich to eat he’s probably not the first to start with.

Not drive. If you can’t see you are supposed to not drive.

I love that show. When you compare him to other billionaires he’s not the worst. I think Jeff bezos does more harm. He has an episode too

Not to mention you are often hated for being a pedestrian. The idea that you don’t use a car makes people angry.

I only heard about it because of an article about them trying to find a French word for “e-mail”

Did that become of thing? Did it catch on?

I’m curious because in English once something has a “name” it never changes. Hell Donald trump tried to rename the Gulf of Mexico. I’m in Texas, no one is changing the name. It’s the Gulf of Mexico.

Once something is established it doesn’t change.

Did they change email into something more French? Does that work like that?

Oh and it literally worries me when people use one word to mean the exact opposite. That isn’t advancement it’s degradation.

And ten points to grifendor for the word “obfuscate “ it’s one of my favorites.

Sorry for the tripple reply. This is one of the things I get excited about.

Excellent example of how names work. It’s not about if I’m annoyed or not. If you want to get my attention you have to flap your meat together and blow air thru it this way (the meat people story if you haven’t heard that. It’s great)

I reply with classical works of the philosopher Monty python

“Is you wife a goer, know what I mean, I bet she does I bet she does”

Language has always fascinated me. Clown too. Not party but the ones who don’t talk but communicate ideas thru body language and face make up. Yes the makeup serves a practical communicative purpose.

Omg I just realized my money concept also applies to sex.

“My wife and I were slapping the banker last night, she got to keep the change”

Knock knock

Who’s there

To

To who?

It’s to whom actually.

Yes as long as what you’re saying makes sense that’s all that matters. Language is just the sound you make to communicate the idea in your head to someone else.

The opposite tho is names. I’m Michael. Not Mike. It doesn’t offended me to be called Mike but that’s not the sound your face needs to make to get my attention. It’s a different sound.

But for just talking… “I stop speak right but you can hold it, then where’s the rub?”

I actually would play around by calling “money” different things. See how weird I could get. “Bucks” fine. Doodlyfranks? In context it works just fine. You can call money anything. Since fallout I regularly say “I’m short on caps” no one’s ever questioned it.

Obligatory “technically correct, the best kind of correct”

That’s how English works. It’s usage. I think the French have a council that decides but English moves a lot faster.

I get having a pet peeve. I for one hate that ignorant means uneducated when it should be someone who is willfully ignoring. That’s just not the way it played out.

I love dictionaries and word usage. “Healthful” is a clunky word, I’m not surprised we moved to “healthy “

Edit: I just realized “helpful” sounds just fine. But if someone said to me “thanks for being so helpy today” I would be a full of seething hatred lol
