cool

felt like crap

yea I feel you, mine wasn't going away so I spent a week home after going to the doc

everyone doing good? :)

oh well

I was hoping I also pasted the quote

this is the only thing I could find

could've sworn I pasted it here once

I can't find it

I need to dig through my chat history for a quote :D

hello

imma head home now cya later

it was done by Aidan Mueller

I'll just search the chatroom for "mustachio" as usual

hmm let me see if I can remember

hi pip

lol

I didn't make that lmao don't tell people lies @Jon

YOU VIOLATED THE LAW

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

to get to it

actually whenever I'd post that I'd just search for "mustachio"

hiyo

@CaptainObvious ENOPARSE

heyo

hiya

not a lot of activity here eh?

good to know

so yea my usage is ok

> Typically the writer of such a phrase expects the reader to infer that Y (the earlier event) was bigger, deadlier, or higher than X (the recent event); and typically that is what readers do. It is true that in point of fact such phrases don't actually say, and don't logically imply, that conclusion. But in ordinary conversation the implication is taken for granted.

answered here, was about to ask it myself

gets the point across

if X 5 is better than X 2 then I say "X 5 is even better than X 2"

e.g. game X 5 is the best game X since X 2 for me generally means that X 2 was really good but X 5 doesn't get too close but it's much better than X 3 and X 4

as a sidenote, I never do the comparison with the milestone I think

you ask yourself weird questions, just parse those things as "it's pretty bad okay"

in one way it makes sense to include it in another it doesn't

I think about it and

I never wondered about it

I so have no idea if the comparison includes the starting point or not

it can also be less impactful

actually no

tbh I read that as "this thing is so good it has just as big an impact as <important milestone from the past>" where the milestone is sliced bread

@SimonForsberg I don't think it makes a direct comparison to sliced bread

hiya

@ton.yeung likely, we've met somewhere else

@GnomeSlice ay mate, long time no see
