I’m a Junior in High School and I’m trying to answer a question for a discussion board and the question is “In ONE WORD, how would you describe this past week?” I’m trying to say that it was both boring and fun at the same time. Is there a word that describes both boring and fun?
Anyway, you can't even take in the whole sky at a glance out here. You have to keep moving the visual frame to take in more and more of it. On a clear day you can see more than 100 km. It fills you with awe, the clouds at sunrise stretching from the horizon to behind your head, all of it lit on fire.
I was talking to a girl online and she asked me where I am originally from. I home state reputation is very bad. So, if you can recommend a reply, do tell me.
EDIT: I am looking for a synonym of deal breaker but it can be used in a casual conversation because the word, "deal breaker" is often us...
> Rather than asking how Trump won, we should be asking how Trump was close enough to win.
... Here, then, is Bartels’s point: if you’d been given a printout of voter data from the past few elections and been asked to identify which campaign was the bizarre one, the one that would rock American politics and lead to book after book trying to explain the outcome, would you be able to do so? The results in 2016 mostly looked like 2012 and 2008 and 2004, even though the winning candidate is one of the most bizarre Йgures ever to crash into American politics.
Am reading this book, and loving it. It references a staggering amount of data and statistical research. And it's pretty grim.
Thought you might be interested.
> Let me be clear from the beginning: This is not a book about people. This is a book about systems. How American politics became a toxic system, why we participate in it, and what it means for our future is the subject of this book.
@Færd 'Grim'? in what way. I mean Orban just got voted to have unspecified no time limit powers. I'd say that's pretty grim for Hungarians. Or maybe Orban will do the right thing and give up powers after the crisis is over. He'll probably do the right thing.
@RegDwigнt Did I give myself away that that was copypasta from a suboptimally OCRed PDF file or what.
@Mitch In the way that unprecedented party polarization is likely to render much of politics abortive for some years (decades?), and the failures of the system is likely to aggravate it.
It's a good one because it shows you that the faulty system is getting much less of the blame than it deserves. The people are the same. The ideological divides are even less gaping than the way they were several decades ago. But party polarization is very high.
@RegDwigнt That about sums it up. I don't usually like YouTube comments, but someone said in response to that video, "America isn't a country, it's a business." Too bloody true.
Firstly, I'm a male.
Secondly, this was a troll but I took it seriously:
As a proper noun (the child), yes.
As a (?) noun, no.
I'm not a grammarian, so my reasoning maybe flawed. I am looking for the correct answer to this question.
> [An American pilot] decided to go after the Russians. He stood up, walked over to the table of 56th pilots and announced, “I’m gonna drink those goddamned Commies under the table.” Laughs and scoffs followed. The pilots teased him. There was drinking, then there was Russian drinking, then there was Russian aviator drinking. It was a whole new dimension of alcoholism that Americans could only watch with awe.
Pro tip: Never challenge a Russian to a drinking contest.
The other day I read somewhere that YouTube and some other sites agreed to serve lower-quality videos in Europe by default, because of the spike in traffic due to corona.
But since Russia pretends not to have the corona, they still serve HD there.
I didn't watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that nothing has to do anything with Vietnam.
Every time I read news like that I have to wonder why you'd be able to keep quiet about the fate of a thousand human beings but not be able to hush the fate of a thousand modestly priced items.
Just how hard can it be to send a single truck somewhere without the world entire taking notice.
@Robusto in a brilliant strike of karmic justice, the answerer managed to misspell "mathematics". Twice.
