"Shitty-er" to rhyme with "prettier", I would guess.

They reenact the "crying woman yelling at stubborn cat" meme perfectly.

Grammatically, no, because "or" is a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), and coordinating conjunctions are a way to join two independent clauses, like a semicolon. They are used after an independent clause and a comma, and they are followed by another coordinating conjunction.

Here's two independent clauses: I got scratched by a cat. I'm sad.

Here's a way to join them with a semicolon: I got scratched by a cat; I'm sad. The semicolon replaces the period.

Here's a way to join them with a coordinating conjunction: I got scratched by a cat, so I'm sad. The , so replaces the semicolon/period.

Note that I got scratched by a cat so, I'm sad is incorrect, because to join two independent clauses, you're supposed to put the comma first and then the conjunction, in that order. Colloquially, people will often omit the comma entirely, to reflect pronunciation I guess. But as far as I can tell, people don't generally pronounce a pause between the coordinating conjunction and the following independent clause, so they don't put a comma there either.

Sounds like a good life to be honest. I'm probably just romanticizing the days I was a little too young to remember, but I wish I were one of those self-taught programmers, hackers, tinkerers. Everything's opaque and user-friendly and/or optimized to the point of illegibility now.

That unrepentant look on her face. I love it.

...Didn't India invent sewers?

Are they still using those old sewers with no treatment/filtration now?

Could someone please explain what this means to this poor lost soul?

That's got to be sexual assault or something. You were 16 or so...

That's probably a cultural thing, isn't it? In diverse areas, people don't expect to understand what they hear others say, so there's no "Speak ___; we're in ___" culture.

I've never been able to whistle and I'm so sad about it. I can do the grass trick though, and I can also make a whistle/scream sound using an acorn cup.

I think it's got to be subways in big cities, buses in suburban towns, and trains to connect rural/suburban/urban areas. All of these being free like libraries would be great, and the commute would be shortened by rides available every 15 minutes.
