“If you don’t like it don’t fly”

Seriously just shut up.

Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.

60°F. Not raining, but misting.

This is why I live in the PNW.

My IBS is acting up just looking at this picture.

Life is an endless prisoner’s dilemma.

This is because most East Asian languages actually don’t conjugate their verbs at all!

In Chinese, for example, you always use the same exact verb, you just add extra sounds called “particles” to the sentence to contextualize what you’re saying.

e.g. “I’m going to the store” in Chinese is 我(wǒ - ‘I’)去(qù - ‘go’)商店(shāng diàn - ‘store’). I go store.

To say “I went to the store”, you don’t change “去/qù”. Instead you still just say “I go store”, but you add “了/le” to the end of the sentence. “Le” is a particle that means “to finish; to be completed”.

So to say “I went to the store”, you literally say “I go store (past particle)”, and the listener knows that the statment “I go store” already happened and ended - past tense.

This is why native English speakers often think of this type of grammatical mistake when they think of common English mistakes that East Asian language native speakers make.

I jokingly said “1999 Honda Fit” so many times that now they call me asking about that fictional car.

Your question implies the answer is black and white, but its not. Its very complicated and uncertain and we’ve got to take a nuanced view of things.

Obviously it’s not gonna sway anyone who’s gonna vote for him

Its not this black and white. According to a poll: “only 4% of Trump’s supporters said they would withdraw their backing if he’s convicted of a felony, though another 16% said they would reconsider it.” abcnews.go.com/Politics/…/story?id=109909175

This may or may not affect things - depends on how it plays out and where since swing districts usually decide preseidential electons.

is there any actual way this keeps him from office

There’s multiple ways it could influence things beyond just changing voting decisions. It could lead to the campaign spending more money on legal fees for appeal and therefore less on ads, campaign rallies etc. It could also have the opposite effect of firing up Trump’s base and leading to more donations, more votes and potentially political violence.

Its a situation that’s never happened before, and its very complicated and uncertain. Anyone who says they have the answer is trying to sell you the fantasy of certainty in an uncertain world.

I had a similar experience. I was maybe 17, driving alone at night to choir practice. Stopped at a red light on an empty street and a guy walked straight up to my car and tried to open the passenger door. It was locked and thankfully the light turned green a second later. I peeled out.

Human beings are FUCKED.

Drawing. I tried so hard in school, practiced regularly, and never got better. I’m in my 30s now and my DND group still makes fun of me when I draw anything other than walls on the wet erase mat.
