I visited Hyderabad recently and didn’t struggle with any dish that was made for me. I told them to make it spicy as well, and I asked my friends to verify that it actually was spicy.

I think most Americans are just cry babies. Now, the food poisoning did fuck me up, real bad. That was a very quick ‘no I think I go home now’.

*to you

You seem to be unable to understand what I’m saying.

Islam is not progressive. You should not hate Jews.

Hope that clears things up for you, I don’t use /s unless I feel like I really need to.

Great, let me know how that works out for you.

All great information - but my point is that produce wash isn’t any more or less effective than just rinsing the thing in water.

That’s all, the idea that it’s specialized soap is sort of silly - do not wash produce in soap, is my point.

Edit: I should say, I’m usually too paranoid to eat something that’s been cooked and left out for over a night - but that’s just me.

The answer is do not do that and cook your food.

Sure man, whatever - you’re an exhausting person.

Why the fuck do people watch Jubilee again? Are people really that entertained by circlejerks?

Oh, right, reality television. Fuck Americans are so god damned stupid.

What do you mean? Women being forced to wear burkas is totally progressive man, get with the times. You’re supposed to hate Jews.

I don’t like Israel, next question

No no, Islam is progressive you guys.

Half white, half native American.

It’s interesting that someone who’s so bigoted is against slurs.

Yeah, I’m not bigoted - I just don’t have social media brain rot. You do, because you clearly haven’t put together that reclaiming slurs doesn’t do anything other than keep them alive.

It’s the same thing that happened to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines, Cinco de Mayo, St. Patties, insert any and every holiday here.

Perversion of core values to turn a profit. It just so happens perverting American values like ‘freedom’ 1) makes people easy to control and 2) makes it easy to sell them shit like truck nuts for your american flag crocs.

My girlfriend is black you literal trog - she and her entire family are against using it because 1) it’s ugly and 2) it makes the person using it look ignorant.

Exactly the same for words like queer, though in this context you’re looking for the F slur - which you 100% should never use, period.

Yes imagine thinking that slurs are bad! Crazy take. Tell me you’ve never spoken to black people without telling me.

In-N-Out pink lemonade. They switched to fake sugar and it just isn’t as refreshing as it used to be.

Yeah I think this is ultimately a difference of opinion, and potentially a difference in how we learn to read in modern day - because while 673 is technically succinct, I wouldn’t say it flows better than six hundred and seventy three.

That being said, this could just be a carry over (for me) from the U.S. education system incentivizing reaching a certain word count. Idk

Yes you’ve made it very clear you have no idea what you’re talking about, and dropping melungeon is 100% a slur. There’s nothing to discuss here, but I’m sure I’ll see something in the future.

Not that I’m aware of, I was always taught to write out any number because it helps with the reader maintaining flow while reading. For the exact reasons we’re discussing here, ‘a thousand’ and ‘a 1,000’ are functionally the same - but one breaks the readers train of thought a lot more easily than the other. Whereas dates and times are used so frequently that writing out 31/12/2026 or 10:00 AM really doesn’t impact their ability to read them on a page.

At least, that’s what I was taught. Maybe there’s a different line of thinking I’m not aware of, though the rule you’re talking about sounds like a business English rule - and I disagree with business English.

He likely said ‘a thousand’ but whoever wrote this article failed English and never learned to write out numbers.

The only numbers I should see in an article are things people already expect to see as numbers, like dates (dd/mm/yy) or the time of day.
