I could be dead wrong, but I actually get the impression this wasn't really meant in the modern colloquial sense of keeping your nose out of other people's affairs, and more in the literal sense of keep on top of your business dealings. Which would make sense, since it was to be printed on money.

That's sikh, where can I buy it??

It's been awhile since I've had a Tootsie Pop, but a lick that gets 1/364th the way to the center sounds somewhat more aggressive than I would want applied to the vagina that I don't have.

(and now that is in my comment history...)

It's honestly kinda wild how many comments here are in favor of cops kicking down doors to enforce this law.

I know, I know, Lemmy isn't a singular person. But it's rare to see the anti-gun crowd advocating for aggressive police action--apparently it's okay just because they are gun owners?

I absolutely believe we'd be better off with less guns floating around this country, but that necessarily is going to be a slow generational shift unless you're advocating for violent standoffs between well-armed citizens and an even more well-armed state.

The boring answer is that we'd use different materials for construction. Or we'd find a way to make them suitable for construction, like how we turn sand and gravel into concrete, or pack snow into ice blocks.

I'm not sure whether to update or downvote. The first sentence doesnt seem too controversial, but hoo boy you nailed it on the second lol

Screw it, upvoted.

That one usually is successful by disabling your network adapter, then re-enabling it. Basically....

Have you tried turning it off then back again?

One of my favorite examples in (American) English has to be "There's more than one way to skin a cat"; meaning there are multiple viable strategies for the task or problem at hand.

I never really appreciated how morbid it is until I saw the shocked face of a fluent but non-native english speaking colleague after using it in a meeting.

Wtf people... Finally a post that is actually mildly infuriating and OP is getting shit on for not being infuriating enough!

This post is doubly mildly infuriating, so I'm going to log in with my alt and upvoted twice.

Yeah I feel like we're getting somewhere now. At first I was on OP's side, but now I'm imagining them like sitting on the sofa drinking a Diet Dr Pepper while watching Judge Judy reruns and half carrying on a conversation with their dad while wearing their backpack. Then after Judge Judy renders her verdict, dad is suddenly like "why are you wearing a backpack?" Then OP gets defensive and weird, and finally we find ourselves at the situation in the meme.

Looks like a drafting table. Maybe the owner is an architect or a cartoonist?
