Even descriptivists accept there has to be some degree of balance. Yes, language evolves, that doesn’t mean I can start calling my shoes bhurghs and expect anyone to know what I’m talking about.

But if it catches on…

Personally I think the “woke” definition of a woman (if there even is one) is much more straightforward than the alternative. This idea that the left “can’t define a woman” is absurd projection - the very people who ask this question are the ones who can’t define it without having to make 100s of exceptions.

Especially because it hasn’t always and it won’t forever. Humanity’s existence just happens to coincide with the period of amazing eclipses.

What exactly is the point of all those extra Hz? I get that in this case it’s just a “because we can” kind of situation, but in general… I’ve never paid any attention to refresh rate and it has never affected me. Is higher really better?

A girl once asked my friend and I if she could make us an omelette. We’d never met her before, but said yeah why not. We went back to our flat, like 1AM, she made us an omelette and then left. Never saw her again. Bizarre. Good omelette though.
