1:00 PM
> I looked at it, but no good.
First of all, a dark-skinned person (black).
And on his CV little to no experience with computers, etc.
Kind regards,
The employee who wrote that recommendation has now understandably been reported to the police.
 
Dayum! Why can't they just hire anyone. Anybody can learn to work at shops
 
The point is rather that they would not hire someone because he's black.
 
Dayum!
 
racism is weird
 
Yeah.
Oh, I have to run.
I'll leave you to ponder society.
 
1:03 PM
always with the running!
CU
 
Always!
Bai.
 
I spoke with Singaporean last time at my work and they asked me "Where did you learn English" so I said "In Korea, I studied all night until I vomit" and they were surprised
 
@EnglishMaster well, studying doesn't usually induce vomiting
"I spoke with a Singaporean person"
 
Singaporeans *
 
1:25 PM
How do you sing a pore?
 
"I sing the body eclectic." — Walt Whitman
 
I don't know. How do you sing a pore?
 
@Robusto you misspelled Willy Wonka.
 
You misspelled Wank a Willy.
 
I was too occupied with wanking to hit the right keys. On anything other than myself, that is.
 
1:27 PM
Keys, notes—what's the difference.
 
Not for Apple. It's the same difference to them.
 
Is that what you think of the Beatles?
 
I that what?
 
that they think keys are notes
 
1:29 PM
Drop your Glaswegian dialect now.
 
To be honest, do you think Singaporeans speak English fluently as British or Americans do?
 
Oh, broad-generalization time!
 
they speak it differently
 
Fluently does not mean shit. Everyone on The Wire is fluent. A fat lot of good does it do them.
 
They have the highest TOEFL score in Asia, even more than India ^_^...
 
1:31 PM
See, and I don't have a TOEFL score.
 
I like to imagine that a TOEFL score is some Eiffle Tower scoring system
 
I hate toffifee, and by extension, toefl.
 
Those look tasty
 
Of course. To a Brit.
You'd eat caramel on anything.
 
You say that like it's a bad thing
 
1:34 PM
Then my communication skills are great.
 
It would taste better if you said it slathered in caramel
 
Toffy the vampire slatherer.
 
@RegDwigнt Why?
 
Because they strongly oppose people being able to open their mouths.
It's a silencing ploy by the government. Remember how the Brit immediately liked it?
 
1:36 PM
It has a hazelnut. It has chocolate. It has caramel. It’s bite-sized. What more could you ask?
And its fee is modest.
 
I would like to ask less, not more.
 
@RegDwigнt we will evolve to speak in noms
 
@MattЭллен Sir Sean Connery already has.
 
No, he speaks in Norn.
 
1:38 PM
See, but you can't tell the difference anymore.
 
Which looks quite similar in this font.
 
Then you should communicate in Turkish using Cyrillic. Nobody ever mistakes йы́лдыз for anything else.
 
not even for йы́лдьв?
 
No, because that's not a word that makes sense. Not even in Serbian.
Note how you can't even pronounce the final cluster.
 
I can't pronounce any of the clusters
 
1:45 PM
goes off in search of Vanna White
 
That's because of the toffee.
 
true, true
 
Anybody have ibuprofen?
I took mine home yesterday and my decongestant, and wouldn't you know it, I need them this morning.
 
throws Kit some pills
 
snatches them out of the air
Oh wait. What were those?
 
1:49 PM
um...
 
I thought I had that other profen...
 
the bottle was blank, but I assume something good
 
keto? That's good too.
 
meows
 
Wait, it was ibu after all.
Jul 11 at 11:41, by RegDwighт
Nah. That syringe, plus 2 times 25g of ibuprofen daily, plus no movement at all.
@tchrist she said keto, not neko.
And yes, the "25g" was a typo, before you ask again.
 
1:51 PM
was the 25g a typo?
 
Jul 11 at 11:41, by RegDwighт
Wait, I mean ketoprofen. Stupid @Cerberus. Keeps confusing me.
FFS. Now I confused myself in addition to others.
Scratch the "ibu after all", replace with "keto after all".
@MattЭллен I dunno, and I can't look it up because I eated it all.
 
I would expect 25g of keto, 250g of ibu.
 
I would expect the Spanish Inquisition. Just in case.
 
Keto is much more potent, iirc.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Nobody.
 
I am no body. I am hippo.
 
1:53 PM
I ain't got nobody. Nobody.
 
I’ve only had the cream, which was mixed with ketamine and something-caine and who knows what else, for acute tendonitis.
 
Mmm, special K.
 
Mr. Nobody is a 2009 science fiction drama film. It was written and directed by Jaco Van Dormael, produced by Philippe Godeau, and starring Jared Leto, Sarah Polley, Diane Kruger, Linh Dan Pham, Rhys Ifans, Natasha Little, Toby Regbo and Juno Temple. The film tells the life story of Nemo Nobody, a 118 year-old man who is the last mortal on Earth after the human race has achieved quasi-immortality. Nemo, memory fading, refers to his three main loves and to his parent's divorce and subsequent hardships endured at three main moments in his life; him at age nine, fifteen and thirty-four. Nemo...
 
I gave that to monkeys.
 
meows again
 
1:53 PM
@tchrist something caine? Michael Caine? Or K-9?
 
Ryan is terrified of dogs; he had a traumatic experience with one when he was a child.

vs

Ryan is terrified of dogs because he had a traumatic experience with one when he was a child.
 
benzocaine? lidocaine? wasn’t cocaine.
 
which one is better?
 
Pepsi.
 
They have Pepsi at my work
 
1:55 PM
Pepsi sucks, actually.
 
exactly
 
But so does just about anything one would call pop.
There are some nice tangerine fizzy things out of Italy I sometimes enjoy.
 
They have Pepsi at work but everyone calls it "Coke" or "Cola"
or coca cola
 
See, a supermarket roof collapses in Latvia, their prime minister steps down. But fuck it if Cameron or Obama ever would. They'd rather grab a beam and go kill some kittens instead.
 
I think there is a law against calling Pepsi, Coke.
 
1:56 PM
Customer: "I want one cup of cola"
 
Туркјі?
 
One does not drink pop by the cup so often as by the pint.
Or quart.
 
Or nonedecime.
 
Of late, demi-gallons have become popular.
 
I prefer the 8oz version.
Preferably with rum.
 
1:59 PM
The best are those ones with two cavities and a catheter, so as you drink from the one cavity, you fill up the other one, and the impermeable membrane separating them expands as needed.
 
At the same rate as demi-moores lost in popularity.
 
Like the stadium versions.
A stadium buddy is an apparatus which consists of a collecting bag fastened around the leg and tubing that attaches to a condom catheter. The hood attaches over the penis but, unlike a condom, has a plug for the tube where the condom's reservoir tip would normally be. This apparatus allows an individual to "conveniently" urinate without having to make use of a restroom. Stadium buddies have been used by sports and concert enthusiasts for over two decades, and are also used by pilots when flying aircraft too small to carry a restroom. Some aircraft have a tube in the seat for attaching ...
Sometimes it’s good to be a boy.
 
I just read that.
 
Fucking Spaniards with their siestas.
Where else could a pianist even get a chance to interfere with your sleep.
 
2:02 PM
At least it was a Spanish court. An English court would never believe una española who went by the name of “Laia”.
 
Laia got me on my knees, Laia.
 
That’s her job.
 
A US court would believe her if she were played by Jim Carrey.
 
I made lentil soup yesterday, and it was more than I was expecting.
With onions and carrots and rutabagas.
I guess that half-bag of split peas I tossed in plus the random brown rice mix, made it expand far beyond its original plan.
I may be eating it for a week. Well, or freezing it.
 
My wife never tried a lentil, she told me last week.
 
2:12 PM
Whoa!
 
She instructed me to go buy some after Jamie Oliver used them for something.
@tchrist yeah tell me about it.
 
Who hasn’t had lentils?
Is she like from Mars?
 
Hm, I never asked about that...
 
Damn, I want to be the first Korean guy to perfectly impersonate Morgan Freeman
 
Sorry, they’ve already finished filming The Hobbit.
 
2:17 PM
Shopped. I can tell by the pixels.
 
Which one gave it away?
I don’t understand the glasses.
 
Gordon Freeman's glasses
 
> The announcement came as a surprise and a disappointment to many Tolkien fans. "Zis is a mistake. Bilbo is not black. I sink it shows a big misunderstanding of Tolkien's message. I mean, Gandalf ze White is triumphant over zee evil elephant-riding Black men, you know?" German fan Adolf Hitler said. "I will not go see zat movie", he adds. "Unless Bilbo's wife is Natalie Portman".
 
I thought Gordon Freeman was wearing glasse oh fuck it Matt is faster.
 
yessssssssssssssssssssssss
 
2:19 PM
> Peter Jackson is himself African-American, which very few people remember, much like his brother Michael. His decision was the result of a long social introspection: "I didn't have anyone short enough for the role. But I like Morgan Freeman, so I gave it to him." According to the director, Morgan Freeman will wear a moustache for the role. When contacted on the topic, Morgan Freeman just mumbled: "My Precious."
 
> However, Tolkien expert Lady Gaga said that it is nowhere stated that Bilbo was white and did not wear a moustache. Indeed, on Page 301 of The Silmarillion, the epic that fleshes out "Middle Earth," Tolkien describes not just the hirsutism of the little creatures but their awkwardness with soup.
> Ms. Gaga explains, "This suggests the presence of mustaches, unless they eat soup with their feet." Moreover, Irish historian Sean Connery explains that, contrary to popular belief, Bilbo was not actually living in Ireland, which suggests he may have had black friends. Actually, he may have been black himself (the preferred nomenclature being African-Hobbitsian).
 
Lady Gaga? Who was that again?
 
Dinglerods.
 
I thought she'd been dead for years.
 
2:22 PM
No, only her gag reflex.
 
I have the sudden urge to go to Ravensholm.
 
American gag.
@KitFox go? Not fly?
 
@KitFox No one goes to Ravensholm
 
We don't go there anymore.
 
This train don't stop there anymore.
 
2:23 PM
That’s another Bilbo impersonator.
Home to Ian, who was probably better as Frodo the first time around.
 
Ah yes, the Bilbo charts.
 
I once topped them.
 
With a cherry?
 
Easy for you to say, shorty.
 
With a whip.
 
2:25 PM
Oh, I see you took the northerner test.
 
How did you just write hwip? Write it again please.
 
Where’s @MattЭллен?
 
Hwip. Hwip. Hwip.
 
In Ravensholm.
 
No!
 
2:25 PM
Yea!
 
runs after @Matt, screaming
Oh.
You're OK. Well. Good.
 
sorry I was reading about the coronation of Sean Connery
 
In Ravensholm.
 
@MattЭллен We’ve a wee question for you.
 
2:27 PM
heh, I took that a while ago. I got 62%
I've never lived in the north, though
 
That’s what I thought.
 
83%.
 
Curious how they’ve severed not merely Scotland but also Wales and Man.
 
"Somewhere around York"
 
Well, at least you can pronounce it then.
 
2:28 PM
Which is hilarious considering my actual proximity to York.
 
> 13% northern. That's somewhere around Bournemouth.
 
62% northern
That's somewhere around Doncaster.
 
His York is easy, his Burden light.
 
I had no idea what any of the questions meant. Except for the one wearing a coat when the Hell freezes over.
 
Right.
The thā/thee question was kewl.
 
2:29 PM
There was one of those?
 
And by the looks of it, Bournemouth is somewhere in the Bretagne, or possibly La Rochelle. Somehow the whole continent is missing. Obviously designed by a Brit.
@tchrist I got no such thing.
 
There was for me.
Odd.
 
Maybe I just didn't notice it.
 
Maybe they randomize.
 
the second question: Where have you been since I saw you last?
 
2:30 PM
> Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee?
 
No continent, sorry.
No island, either, for that matter.
 
How’s Jersey this time of the year?
 
Speaking of Southampton Dock.
 
There should be a tool for automatically punching every idiot who adds a Twitter and FB button to everything.
 
The funny thing about that question is that you’d think that hearing it, that any native speaker would immediately know what it means without even thinking.
 
2:33 PM
In fact they should make a whole site for that, and offer that as the third button. "Punch the dev in the guts now". Now that one I would click.
 
Titter buttons and Fuck Buddy buttons.
Not that those have to be different.
 
Twitter and Facebook are like gays. I have nothing against them until you start shoving them into me.
 
It usually works the other way around.
 
I don't know that much about Twitter, Facebook, or gays.
 
Each is a form of cultural identity.
 
2:36 PM
With emphasis on dent.

Q: Designators, quantifications and predicates in Predicate Logic

tromboneSo, I got my Predicate Logic exercises back, and I had apprently made one mistake. What is annoying is that I don't know why. The taks was to identify all the designators and predicates in a certain number of sentences. The one I got wrong on was this: "Everyone tells the officer to keep an ...

Seven Lawlers for the formatting.
 
> Late as in the late dentarthurdent. It's a sort of threat, you see.
 
Oh wow. Impressive.
 
> The implicatinos of study findings
 
2:37 PM
apprently, taks
 
Those Mexicans are just everywhere. Even in studies now.
 
More likely Asturians, who like the -inos thing. Mexicans like the -itos thing.
 
Same difference. They take our jobs!
I don't think I've ever met a Latita.
 
I think I had sex with a Latita once.
Well, if you can call it that.
 
I think that’s because una lata (a can, like of pop) becomes una latacita not just una latita, and I have no fucking idea why. Super-internalized rules there that nobody writes down but native speakers just “get”.
 
2:40 PM
Queen Latita?
 
She might have been Laetita. Or Laurel. Or something with an L.
 
Hardy.
 
It's kind of vague.
 
Anyway, it’s la teta not la tita.
 
t.A.T.u. (, ) was a Russian music duo that consisted of Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova. The duo was managed by Russian television producer Ivan Shapovalov while in the group Neposedi. The duo were signed to their own production company T.A. Music, following the split with Universal Music Russia, and their sub-labels Interscope Records and Neformat. The duo established their success with their debut single "All the Things She Said", which gained acclaim from music journalists and critics, who deemed it one of the best singles in early 2000s. The video of the single, however generated con...
 
2:41 PM
Surely you mean Laetitia.
 
Don't make me search for that fur bikini again.
 
@RegDwigнt Looks more like a dua to me.
> Servite Domino in laetitia!
Which means she’ll bring you your pizza.
 
Interesting, imgur has deleted the image. Not many people click on Laetitia in a fur bikini, it appears!
 
Oh, do they expire?
 
@Rob's asses are still online, though.
May 21 '11 at 17:31, by RegDwight
Who needs fur hats when there are fur bikinis?
@tchrist if not visited, yes.
Just search the chat for "jpg" or "png", sort by date and see for yourself.
 
2:43 PM
I had that pic for a loooong time. Then I cleaned off my computer.
 
Serves me right for hosting it on your computer.
 
@RegDwigнt Why you ping me? Can't you see I'm having problems with SVN?
 
You have just answered your own question.
You want to look at SVN or you want to look at asses?
Your call.
 
Cantate Domino canticum novum;
 laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
 Laetetur Israel in eo qui fecit eum,
 et filiae Syon
 exultent in rege suo.
 Laudent nomen ejus
 in tympano et choro:
 in psalterio psalant ei.
 
Want got nothin ta do wid it.
 
2:45 PM
Well. You're long past the age where others order you around like that.
 
Something about getting laid in the Holy Land, I think.
@RegDwigнt Is that even about English?
 
I dunno, I clicked away as fast as I could.
 
guys in restaurnts, what do waiters say when they are about to serve you food on your table?
 
@RegDwigнt What, your family never had any elderly servants?
> Get your hands out of the way.
 
@tchrist the servants were all taken by your family. We had to make do without.
 
2:48 PM
You go to restaurants where the waiters are allowed to speak?
 
@RegDwigнt We spell that dough in my country.
 
do they just keep slience?
 
00000000
 
@EnglishMaster in Paris? "Stuff your face and get the fuck out".
 
Danged kittens dancing on my keyboard.
 
2:49 PM
@RegDwigнt I think you technically have to be dead before people stop ordering you around.
 
@EnglishMaster "here you go" or something similar
 
@EnglishMaster Yes, the last three letters of dough are silent.
 
People's the worst.
 
@tchrist You can keep those. I'll take the ones, please.
 
I'm kidding
I made it up
 
2:50 PM
@tchrist D'oh!
 
Well, he's the English master, not the mastre d'.
 
maître d’
Sometimes the s is disguised as a chapeau.
 
The circumflex is for poor people who can't afford a proper ass S.
 
jinx
I don’t know how to say asshat in French.
 
I had a chapeau in the Alps once. It blew off and I lost it.
 
2:52 PM
No, that’s where you go back for the après-ski.
 
Da fuk?
 
No, da cok.
 
I love those prosaic alpine chapeaux with their crenelated towers.
 
Cretinelated.
 
2:54 PM
Your forgot an r.
 
You forgot an ir.
 
I have to ir.
 
I issad just the other day.
 
Is that man shitting a soccerball because he was struck in the back with some kind vuvuzela?
 
2:57 PM
Well. Have you seen those guys play as of late? That's pretty much what happens, yes.
Champions du monde, champions d'Europe my ass.
 
nods like she has some kind of clue
 
Jul 27 '12 at 11:12, by RegDwight АΑA
Sicheres Auftreten bei völliger Ahnungslosigkeit.
 
Right. Yes.
Just trying to make you feel comfortable and happy.
So we'll assume that I know something about futbol.
 
it is a game of two halves
 
And then Germany wins.
 
2:59 PM
My son enjoys playing.
 
@RegDwigнt Ha!
 
I remember watching Germany in the '94 cup games.
They threw themselves down a lot.
 
That's footballers for you
 
They learned that in the war. Two wars.
 
the best way to win is to pretend you've been injured?
 
3:01 PM
No, but it's the best way to not keep playing until it's clear you've lost.
 
:D
Apparently, 3.2 billion people watched the last world cup
 
On their potatoes.
 
Oh that was creepy. The wind came up, it started to howl through my window, just as this lift or something drove by below me. Sounded like a tornado coming.
I just about lost my shit.
 
Pro tip: shit's replaceable, no big loss.
 
3:05 PM
Oh. Good to know.
 
apsillers -> lass plier
 
Ass piller.
I get to commute super early today. All hail planned power outages!
 
3:22 PM
Woo!
have fun with your spare time
 
 
2 hours later…
5:29 PM
Hello
I was wondering if there is an off-topic section on this site.
Where questions related to English-speaking universities can be posted.
Is there such a place here on this site?
 
What's an example of a question you had in mind?
 
That might not be out of bounds for meta, especially ELL meta.
This has to be the dumbest state motto in the history of dumb state mottoes.
It's also in error. I personally don't know any potatoes from Idaho. And I bet nobody here is on a first-name basis with any.
But if they had a band—and it appears they do—it would look and sound something like this:
 
5:46 PM
Silly.
It seems governments are even worse at slogans than companies. And why do they need slogans at all??
 
See? Idaho isn't all Aryan supremacists and doomsday preppers. There are some silly people there too. I guess those things aren't mutually exclusive, though.
 
Well, I would like to get some feedback on the American university of Paris. For example; what is it like to study there? And how good it is for an undergraduate art history program
 
Hmm. You might go over to ELL and send up a flare. Apart from that, I don't know where you'd look.
 
It used to have a detailed information about my degree, on its site but I cannot find it anymore.
I will try asking there.
Thanks

what does oak mean in context?

@JohanLarsson What is the context?

I think he says oak
