There are people named Yuu, Mi and Ai. However:
Think of the line “I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me.” Ai would say “I am Ai, and Ai means me”, which sounds odd but hey ho. You would say “Drag is Drag, and Drag means drag”, which is borderline nonsense.
Yes, but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.
You refer to yourself as “Drag”, which I understand is short for “Dragon”. And given your proclivities towards dragons, I have to assume this is intentional. So, yes, you are referring to yourself by your name, or at least a nickname.
Also in Japan, if someone refers to themself with their own name, that’s seen as childish or arrogant.
If your first person pronoun is the same as someone referring to you in third person, then you are referring to yourself in third person every time you refer to yourself in first person. And since the idea of a first person neopronoun is exceedingly rare, most people will only think of you as speaking in the third person.
You know, he’s something of a scientist himself.
I don’t think nazis are the ones that decided the gay pride colour though (it was purple). I think it was someone else that decided.
Just looked it up. White is white pride, red is neo-nazi (and often, willing to spill blood), yellow is anti-racist. Not sure why that last one’s a bad thing, though.
Black was neutral, because that’s the colour doc martens usually come with.
In a youtube video by Matt Baume, he discussed two types of protestors against offensive gay representation in the media.
The first group was loud and disruptive. One guy broke into the news room and yelled over the anchor about the injustice. Another guy handcuffed himself to a camera. It was a problem that could shut down production entirely.
The second group was calm and willing to negotiate. However, the only reason they were listened to by the networks was because of the first group. They even had whistles to ruin the filming if they weren’t listened to. But they were, and filming went without a hitch after that.
It’s not the peaceful path, but some people don’t want the peaceful path. They want violence. Give them more violence than they can handle (or at least the threat of it) until they beg for peace, THEN take the peaceful path.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
“Fs in the chat” -> “Subjects, please join me in mourning”
“Thanks for the dono” -> “Your tithe is greatly appreciated”
“We’re going into subs only mode” -> “You may only speak if you are of the proper station”
Ironically, “we just got raided” can be said in both instances, but means different things.
Wow, they really do. Either they’re really bad at swordfighting and just insist it’s due to being tall, or they have a kink for stomach wounds.
There’s nothing wrong with a devotion to Christianity. My mother gives sermons and she’s one of the coolest people I know. But that’s not what this is.
This is a person whose worldview was shaped by conservative values presented as Christian values. They see a world that doesn’t fit what they were taught, and they try to understand it as best they can. It’s a constant back and forth on whether to accept the world as God designed it or to try and block out parts that conservatives don’t like.
Case in point: The bible doesn’t say shit about swearing. It talks about insulting, with an example being “fool”, but nothing about swearing.
Fun fact! Swearing actually reduces pain perception, thus increasing pain tolerance. There are scientific benefits to swearing.
I don’t talk to a lot of people, but there’s no reason I’d specifically avoid them. I lucked out, and they’re pretty cool people.
More to the point, my family are the people who shaped who I am in both nature and nurture. If they weren’t my family, I would not be me.
What’s small, green, and has wheels? Grass. I added the wheels to make it sound cooler.
A duck walks into a bar wearing one shoe. The bartender says “hey buddy, you lost a shoe” and the duck says “nah, I found one!”
In other words, until he dies.
Considering how many failed businesses he has under his name, I doubt failure is enough to hurt his ego. He’ll just make something up so he can pretend he’s still a success. Like how he claims he won the last election despite it being yet another failure to add to the pile.
It’s kind of been a running thing that the only way to make a group of cops the good guys is to have them point out how bad most cops actually are. There’s an episode where Terry gets racially profiled and has to sacrifice a promotion so he can get even a little bit of justice. There’s an episode where NYPD posters keep getting defaced, and Gina has to point out how most people hate cops for good reasons. The series starts with Holt pointing out the NYPD kept him from getting promoted due to being a gay black man, then promoted him when they thought it would make them look good.
Heck, all of season 8 is spent opposing a police union and trying to stop police corruption.
It’s copaganda that desperately didn’t want to be copaganda.
Hehe, denial of service for no reason beyond forced data collection is so quirky! Yeah, capitalism is squeezing the life out of modern culture, but in a fun way!
I wouldn’t.
In fact, I would try to deprogram anyone who thinks anyone should.
