Not if I put that ball gag in.

~Well… actually… hm.~

I always felt connected to my inner Americium, but my mom said I’m a lanthanide through and through. My actinide father said, “don’t sweat it, she’s acting like a typical halogen.”

You chose this, Hasan.

You.

Edit: Down-vote me all you want. He chose his career and how he balances his schedule and public exposure.

Including or excluding the Catholic Church as an organization?

“Treasure” in treasure trove is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Dogs teach you about loyalty. Cats teach you about boundaries.

Ironically, luddites against space exploration in this era call for the dismantling of a titanic field of science that is both directly and indirectly responsible for the very device from which they shart out their oh-so-learned opinions to the rest of the world.

It’s interpreted.

Ironically, due the nature of the language used in their complaint and its similarity to psychological operations conducted by COINTELPRO, @OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml seems “shallow and politically motivated”.

A “jig” is a fast lively dance, usually somewhat comical in appearance.

Because jigs were often performed as comic interludes or sketches at the end of plays, the word “jig” started to mean a a piece of entertainment or a “performance.”

Eventually, slang-users in Elizabethan England started using “jig” to mean a clever trick or a “con.” If you were “playing a jig” on someone, you were fooling them.

“Up” means that the “time for the performance is up” or concluded. The most common way we use “up” to mean finished is in relation to time. When a clock runs out, the time is “up.”

Imagine a cup being filled with water. When it reaches the brim (the top), it is full; it can’t take anymore. In the same way, when a situation or a “jig” (a trick) reaches its limit of time or tolerance, it is “up” at the brim.​

In English, we often add “up” to verbs to show that an action is finished 100%. This is known as a “completive particle” in the study of language.

I’m married to a white woman. I think advocacy for segregation is a flawed and impractical position, but, at the risk of hypocrisy, I understand and commiserate with the foundation behind the argument.

Malcolm X talked about our (I am not of European descent) so-called “white allies” and the Uncle Toms they promulgate.

It’s embellished.

In reality, Ezekiel 25:17 is much shorter than the film speech. Here is the KJV translation (the same cadence as the movie monologue):

“And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”

I agree with your sentiment, but I’m compelled to point out that their “billions” is in the valuation of the preferred shares of the corporations they control. If they were to sell to get their billions in cash, the value of their portfolio that analysts purport they have would plummet to pennies on the dollar and very quickly.

Billionaires take out loans using their appraised assets as collateral when they need a couple tens of hundreds of millions in cash.

These billionaires’ egos literally write checks their bodies can’t cash with tacit approval from the Fed and SEC.
