The gales of November came way early this year.

This issue people have with some fixed phrases is bizarre to me.

Might as well say "Actually, this 'morning' isn't 'good' at all!" and pretend you have a point. Really devalues anything following it by revealing the person saying it to be an obnoxious pedant.

But standing up for women's rights this way get's more retweets, which is the ultimate measure of success after all, so what do I know?

I agree, it was an extremely weak comeback. Definition of grasping for straws.

I get a lot of compliments on my use of the English language and I absolutely cannot stand prescriptivists (among other pedants).

I had no idea that a lake could be so saucy with the comebacks. Glad to hear that it lives up to its name.

well it is superior

A single molecule of water is not wet but as soon as more then one molecule is present the water is then wet. That is my hill to die on in this argument.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (16 children)

I disagree. Mixing water and another liquid does not make the second liquid "wet" - it makes a mixture. Then if you apply that mixture to a solid the solid becomes wet until the liquid leaves through various processes and becomes dry. If that process is evaporation, the air does not become wet it becomes humid.

If there is two molecules of water which one is the dry molecule and which one is the wet molecule?

If there are three molecules does one get divided in half to make the other two wet or does only one get wet and one stays dry until a fourth arrives?

Getting into a political argument with a lake account. The lake account using 1st person language as Lake Superior.

Our ancestors would marvel at our reality!

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

I don't know, getting into arguments with sentient geo/hydrological features seems like the kind of thing our ancestors would have done

Water deities in ancient mythologies: Am I a joke to you?

The lake account using 1st person language as Lake Superior.

Are you suggesting that account isn't Lake Superior's account? Clearly lakes microblog.

Oh please someone argue this with me!

I love semantic bs!

Water is touching water, so therefore water is wet!

Not that Thomas isn't a piece of shit regardless.
