  • Right, that's "speaking figuratively." There are rules for that.

    But a word that means the opposite of what it means is not a useful word.

    I'd hate to find a box in my lab marked "inflammable."

  • The current administration is making Humphrey Appleby seem a much better option.

  • Trouser Python. Technically true, and no-one is going to check.

  • Maybe there's a reason we prefer tenure civil servants who don't have financial interest at odds with their job?

  • No research needed. Getting back to the routine, after a suitable period that varies from person to person, is important. But it is not, in itself, healing, and someone who didn't miss a day of work is not doing well.

  • Oh certainly. But it's treating a symptom, not the actual problem.

  • I was thinking this myself.

  • That's not healthy, though. That's repression, which is bad for you. I know it's bad for you, as I have not had more than six emotions in the past 20 years.

  • I don't think 29 year olds are millennial, are they? Or is this an older meme?

  • Because we have YouTube videos instead.

  • Are we expecting the Democratic party to actually support him? Seems the national leadership would rather see someone else in his spot.

  • Can Trump prove his citizenship, if this policy goes through?

  • Indeed it is so.

    Nevertheless, assholes.

  • I'm trying to determine if we are using words to mean the same things. It seems we are not.

    Since I don't take issue with your goals, only your vocabulary, I suppose that continuing to discuss it is pointless.

  • If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn't I used a computer to write it?

    Assholes to the lot of them.

  • Would you claim that the soap box failed of no-one spoke against him?

    Would you claim the jury box failed if he was never brought to trial?

  • Well, that's technically a more reputable source.

    Can we move a few notches up the ladder, though?
