It’s where the ‘lactic’ part of galactic comes from.

As they say: reality is always going to be on the side of the one who respects it more.
Honestly, there’s good odds their interpretation would be ‘poor kid, they’re getting fucked with by the spirits.’
We’ve all been there
Well said! My go-to example is ‘If someone calls and I’m not here, tell them they can leave a message’ because it covers both they and them in a singular usage.
Sidenote: I also hate the way that some people act like languages are static things, despite the known history of languages to shift and change over time. English is arguably a German creole; we don’t get to act all sanctimonious now.
Yes! My favorite example is the ASL sign for pasteurized milk, which is just the sign for milk, but moved ‘past your eyes’.

Edit: another comment reminded me that I should specify that this is American Sign Language.
The weakness of our system is that it often assumes everyone is acting in good faith
Damn bro you’re getting mad downvoted for being fully correct. Some of the numbers in this article are relatively credible from what I understand*, but in general it’s bad practice to take Russian or Ukrainian claims at face value. Both have an incentive to lie for the purposes of morale, propaganda, and - especially in Ukraine’s case - international perception. Russia’s lies have been particularly egregious though the war, with claims that are physically impossible (see: Russia’s claim earlier in the war to have destroyed an Abrams tank months before they even arrived in Ukraine.)
*I haven’t checked open source loss data or anything, so take this with a grain of salt.
Yeah. Losses are to be expected from materiel that is in use, and people shouldn’t be surprised when western equipment shows up in loss statistics. It wouldn’t be a problem or even that noteworthy if the US could pull its head out.
The ‘e’ is pronounced more like it’s ‘ay’; vih-VAYK.
This is like the fourth time I’ve seen you comment something unfathomably based.
Depressing as it is, I couldn’t agree more. I fear for the future of our country.
I got bloated now my tummy is defined with a Schwarzchild radius :(
