you ok there bud?

This might fit in mediaeval times, with the earliest possible recorded use in the 13th century, but it’s certainly not well-known until the early modern period and most famous right on the border between early and late modern.

I’m not sure about trial by combat. White collar criminals can just pay for a champion to represent them, and if they had to represent themselves they could certainly afford to switch up their schedules a bit so as to be well-trained in combat.

Nah you’re spot on there. Trebuchets are absolutely mediaeval.

Oh yeah, maybe. I don’t really know how you’d measure that.

It was explicitly created to be “TikTok, but on YouTube”. What would you expect?

Jamie being a unisex name, I dunno if “she’s amazing” is the typo or “he is a guest” is.

cheering for a dude hooking up with his aunt.

Which dude, exactly?

Only one example immediately springs to mind, but that hasn’t happened yet in the books. And the way it happened in the show, I’m not sure was executed very well, but I don’t think it was really portrayed as a case where we “cheer for a dude”. He barely seemed into it, definitely not as much as she was.

Wow, this lyric actually works better than the original, thanks to the near rhyme between walk and fuck.

Like many other admirer’s of Nabokov’s novel of a pedophile who pursues a 12-year-old girl, Rowling loves it for the writing style.

Oh ok, fair enough. Not an especially controversial take.

"There just isn’t enough time to discuss how a plot…becomes…a great and tragic love story

Oh…oh no…

When I hear an American with the caught/cot merger say “caught”, it sounds way more similar to my (unmerged) “cot” than my “caught”

Happy cake day!

Do you have ceiling fans? I honestly have rarely even wanted AC because ceiling fans do such a good job at keeping the place cool up to at least the low 30s, when I’m not headed up from doing exercise.

The reason is that too be a Short it has to be vertical.

YT Shorts are basically just TikTok crossposts anyway

Hey that’s not true! Some of them a small clips from longer main videos.

Yeah same for Australia.

I thought they mostly made money through sponsorships rather than direct payments.

The difference is just another nit pick someone will find excuses to argue over

No, it isn’t. The scientific research actually suggests that keeping DST is worse than switching back and forth. I have to admit I find that confusing, since a lot of the specific studies I’ve looked at concentrate on the effects caused by the switchover itself, but the meta-analysis doesn’t mince words:

In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently.

Thank goodness 4-chan is there

Isn’t this Tumblr?

I don’t love the way it has to tear down the other characters in order to prop up the one. Surely the message could have been gotten across in a more wholesome way?
