I have seen some controversy about whether white-passing people of Jewish ancestry count as “white”

Let me clear that up: the people who ask if someone is actually white are racists.

A bunch of youse is thinking irrationally.

It's them what go in front of the cannon.

The main character commits rape because this isn't a real universe anyway. You made the right choice.

It's true, but they are still fairly easy to injure.

Try forming a fist and then hitting with the outside edge of the hand instead of your poor little fingers.

Or learn from your ancestors and become a tool-using mammal. I understand milkshakes have a distinct fondness for fascists.

My friend's father -- coincidentally named Feinman, not Feynman - used to say "They always advertise what they haven't got."

"Less Wrong".

It's not that verbing nouns weirds language so much as the regreekification.

If you are in a 60 Hz electrical area (i.e. the Americas, mostly), and the power is rock-steady, and you have cheap fluorescent lighting -- then anything other than 60 Hz refresh rates might improve your screen, but much more so on old CRTs than on modern LCDs and OLEDs.

These days, like most smartphone 'features', it is mostly but not entirely about a checkmark to induce you to feel that you are missing out on something.
