Well, what do you know? If it wasn't for Will Smith I wouldn't have known it was time for the Oscars again.  |

Read somewhere:
Next time you're feeling down
remember life is all about perspective.
I have a friend who has sex 2-3 times a day,
exercises twice a day,
reads two books a week,
yet everyday he complains
about how much
he hates prison.

Read some 'nice' comments about 'typical blacks fighting on stage for all to see' Of course a real White American would have drawn his concealed weapon and just shot the guy who insulted his wife.  |

A bunch of African Americans on the alcohol making fun of each other's wife.
What could possibly go wrong?

In America some see Elon Musk's 'take over' of Twitter as the first step in restoring Donald Trump's twitter account. Reasoning is Musk's profit driven actions and Trump being solid gold in that sense, allegedly. Maybe move this to the "Mango Money" subforum with topic "Elon Musk's Twitter goldmine"  |

on a T-shirt some interesting Dutch "Ik voer geen discussie. Ik vertel waarom ik gelijk heb." Which translates to "I'm not arguing. I'll tell you why I'm right"  |

^^^ Just linguistically curious. Does Dutch have a "present continuous"? A more English-y translation of the last phrase would be "I'm telling you why I'm right".

I was lazy and didn't really bother, just dumped the Dutch text in google translate. Strictly speaking the Dutch "Ik vertel waarom ik gelijk heb." is "I tell why I am right". More 'contineous would be like "Ik ben je aan het vertellen waarom ik gelijk heb" or "I'm telling you why I'm right". Possibly with added "I'm currently busy telling you why I'm right" |

“You from within our glasses, you lusty golden brew,
whoever imbibes takes fire from you.
The young and the old sing your praises.
Here’s to beer, here’s to cheer, here’s to beer.”

Ik weet gewoon wat je moet doen"
I'm not so bossy at all,
I just know what you must do.

Just read this interesting bit:
> I just ended a five year relationship.
< Are you Okay?
> It's Okay, it wasn't my Relationship.

Learnt a new abbreviation Eleven year old kid helping out an older guy with computer problems. Solved in a few clicks. When asked what was wrong the kid answered "Oh, just a case of ID ten T." Write it out and you get ID10T  |

From "The Patriot Post" which describes it's mission as extend the endowment of Liberty to the next generation by advocating for individual rights and responsibilities, supporting the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and promoting free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Of course, there's nothing on the clash between individual rights and Free Enterprise or responsibilities enterprises have.  |
