Microsoft CodeCop does not mess about but in fairness he was using identical names for local and global variables.

They probably mean that those convenient areas adjacent to the lanes on a road should be seen as “less bike lanes, but more car park”.

Later that evening at the local tavern.

“So then when it fails for the third time, he drinks a cup of acid, tips his hat to the crowd, and then collapses.”

“Haha! That’s gold!”

The tavern falls silent.

Mission Control : “You are clear to launch.”

Astronaut (in comically high pitched voice) : “Um, are you sure the leak is contained?”

Mission Control (stifling giggles): “Oh for sure.”

At that precise moment the door to the astronauts cockpit falls off onto the launch pad.

Facebook deep fake nonsense aside, if I genuinely thought Elon was involved in an investment scheme, I would immediately consider it a scam and assume my money would disappear.

Do they? I thought “I’m sorry” was specifically about sharing how you are feeling vs “I apologise” which is an acknowledgment of your action(s). They often correlate but not always a given.

Just my 20c…

Edit: I can’t spell actions apparently.

So reading all the cool comments below has taught me that the most ambiguous situation that can arise linguistically, is inadvertently bumping into someone whilst trying to ask directions during a Canadian funeral.

Lots of interesting articles and research talking about the problem of many CEOs exhibiting psychopathic traits but it being accepted. For example.

https://fortune.com/2021/06/06/corporate-psychopaths-business-leadership-csr/

“Our culture also glorifies and rewards successful leaders who may lie somewhere on the spectrum of psychopathy or who, if not actually psychopathic, nevertheless display traits that psychopathic individuals frequently have. The problem, of course, is that while psychopaths may have a lot of charisma and creativity, they may also lack, as already mentioned, socially important qualities such as empathy and morality.”

The judge after Trump has finished speaking.

“What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Hmm. Sounds an awful lot like a side hustle.
