@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I like it how diligently you're carrying out your self-assigned, bounden duty.

@userr2684291 Moving messages to trash is the second best thing you can do at 4:22 a.m.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ What, um, if it's appropriate, is the best thing you can do at that hour?

@userr2684291 sleep of course. Wait a sec, you were thinking about the third best thing, weren't you?

Hahah.

Actually I was trying to come up with something else.

I usually do my best coding at around that time.

@snailboat Can I ask a friend?

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ You can take 50–50 first.

@userr BTW, I watched No Country for Old Men. Pretty deep stuff.

Pretty violent and blood-dripping too.

I watched... Superman: The Animated Series, the two consecutive episodes where Batman shows up. Not very deep.

@userr2684291 Dunno, Batman's cloak looks like a very deep black hole in the animated series

How does he walk like that?

The more you stare at it, the more it looks like it's gonna drag you in

:o

A black hole is featured in one of the episodes of that show I mentioned.

I'm a natural

Looked cooler than that foggy thing they captured not a while ago.

Next deep movie to watch: Prisoners

ell.stackexchange.com/questions/214466/… not sure what to believe now.

@userr2684291 Reminds me of MaulikV's frustration.

Native speakers of English sometimes overestimate their ability

Sure, you can speak it well, but can you judge it well as well?

Also, that reminds me.

Is "I have nothing to give them" grammatical? @Userr @Snail

Yeah, why?

@userr2684291 Hmm, so it "I have nothing to give to them" grammatical too?

Just asking, they don't need to be mutually exclusive, I know

✌

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Yes, M.A.R.?

Hahah.

@snailboat Did you watch the animated Batman series?

Or Batman animated series.

It is kinda borish, and I like the Batman one as well, but I actually watched those two episodes because Batman appeared in them, lol. (The episodes also featured Joker and Harley.)

But I don't mind Superman, and that's mostly because I watched it when I was a child, so ya, happy memories.

@snailboat I made those sentences (patterned them on the CGEL ones) so as to try to avoid these possible-but-unlikely contexts. Idk why people sometimes say things like "No, the that isn't ungrammatical. E.g., if there were two That Seventies Shows then you could make it more clear which one you're talking about by saying the That ..." – I mean, come on now.

But what this user is claiming is different. And when I posted my first reply I was kinda hoping they wouldn't see it because they might sow confusion.

I've seen them disagreeing with (implicitly or otherwise) other native speakers on this very issue.

So maybe it's idiosyncratic or, given that they're in Canada, they might be used to hearing it from non-native speakers... I don't know.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Batman's cape once got stuck in some sort of... large printer or whatever machine, and he simply slipped it off of his head (and revealed his identity to miss Lane).

So I don't think that's accurate, but I'm not too interested in the whole matter to investigate it further, haha.

@snailboat What do you eat down there when it's hot (or just the usual temperature I guess)?

I'll take that as "we don't", lol. 'Cause it's kinda hot here and I'm thinking of chicken.

@snailboat but I thought u turned into a veggie 🙄

@Man_From_India hey hey, healthy != vegetarian

I guess most of the vegetarianism spectrum is a subset of healthy, but in that you need to do them right to get results, they're not much different from normal diets.

@snailboat I actually went on a fish eating contest last month. A figurative fish eating contest

By eating fish for all the 30 days of last month

It's actually an over-application of doctor's advice

Tacrolimus is toxic, and fish oil is said to help alleviate the bad side effects

This seems like something folks here might enjoy:
