Roger, obviously. Mark would be a Bernie/Mamdani guy I think. It's Maureen I'm not sure about

There are kinds of guys out there we've never even dreamed of

Fuck up so bad you bring down your own dynasty: normal. common. Dime a dozen.

Fuck up so bad that the one ethnic group who turned out to support you is obliterated militarily, loses all their land, and is almost wiped out from history (and also you bring down your own dynasty): just him I think?

coñocer is a verb with great lesbian potential!

Oh does the Boer have opinions about who counts as white?

Please be honest. We can still see the comment where you wrote: "You can’t take [ADHD meds] your whole life."

And you linked that article in a reply to a comment about whether exercise is a treatment for ADHD. The article is very explicit that exercise helps with symptoms but is not a treatment.

To recap this thread: you said people shouldn't take ADHD meds for life and they should do exercise instead. When challenged on that, you linked to an article that says exercise is helpful for dealing with ADHD symptoms but is not a substitute for medicine.

Maybe you missed this part of the article

A version of this in Catalan could set off discourse like we've never seen

By which I mean: what happened to your vowels. How'd they all get so high

I thought fay was only used as an adjective but Google ngrams say otherwise. Strange that "fae" and "fairy" rose in prominence together since 2000, but "fay" as a noun declined when Victorians got into fairies in the 19th c.

Indeed! (The duets where Alex sings together with pre-transition vocals recorded for that purpose are particularly cool IMO)

Good question! It's "fae" on her bandcamp: heatheralexander.bandcamp.com/track/samhain

But that page is surely more recent than the 90s, so the same question could be asked. I might have have a copy of the CD but unfortunately am away from home this week so can't check to confirm.

I suspect one could find many more examples looking at folk lyrics from the 80s and 90s. In addition to the other reasons people mentioned for its use, it's a convenient alternative to "fairy" etc. in a context where you're trying to rhyme.

This occurs in Heather Alexander's song "Samhain" ("the gentle fae"). The only version online is from a 1996 album but it's a live recording. I'm pretty sure the song was written without influence from the Changeling game, if that came out in 1995.

NSF give me a time machine so I can do a sociolinguistic study on these guys

His father was born in England but became an exile before he turned one. And his father spent most of his young years in exile as well. Were they speaking Scots/English that was like 100 years out of date by Charlie's time?

¢ is very cute to me
