A faux pas-ta
Hah! Ya got me!
But of course I’m talking about the adjective punk, as in " punk rock," which is an entirely other word than the noun puncke, (or, more modern, punk ) which Shakespeare used.
ETA: I don’t mean to imply they’re not related They just aren’t the same word. And one of them was created in the 1970s.
I agree that the word punk came to be associated with aesthetics, almost exclusively. But that is very far from where it started, and it is frustrating for those who started it to see it coopted like this. The association of the word with anything other than anti-consumerism is just " branding" at its worst.
I was a tween when the first version of “punk” came around (yes, that makes me old). I think I can say with authority that the ideals were: anti-corporate, anti-consumerism, and anti-commercialism. Ever since then people have tried to sum it up (and marginalize it) as “DIY.” But that falls well short of what it really was.
Of course, the second it showed any sign of viable popularity, the forces of capitalism, well…, capitalized on it. The obvious examples are bullshit, high production, made-for-tv bands like Green Day getting sold as punk rock. But does anyone remember Urban Outfitters? Holy crap, the open, unashamed corporate pandering!
I disagree. Dad jokes are most often puns, and puns always elicit a groan, whether they’re good or not. Dad jokes can be witty and/or clever, and that’s what makes them good. This one is not.
Nope. This time I can’t abide. There seems to be a culture here of mutual encouragement, that leads to upvoting everything no matter what. But this joke is simply awful. No good. Terrible. Very bad.
rtfa. That was never implied by either side.
The article says 400 were surrounded, not surrendered. It then says 30 surrendered. I think it’s fair to call that “dozens.”
You’re speaking of pundits and politicians whose opinions are public and widespread. There is little reason to believe that those folks are sincere in their public statements. They are motivated by greed to lie in an effort to sway the opinions of uneducated people.
Among the general public, those that sincerely hold conservative political views are cognitively impaired. Source: they vote for things that are objectively against their own prosperity.
The kinds of plants we can eat cannot continue to thrive without animals, especially insects around. The whole system is interconnected.
After we win, we’ll all starve to death. I’m not even saying that we have to eat animals. I’m saying that without animals there would soon be no food of any kind.
It should have been lifted when it was clear it didn’t work. I’m convinced that it was a negotiating position, designed to prevent Russia from escalating.
I fear that those who favor the rule of law and maintaining peaceful order are even more complacent than the Q-tards. So if they have a sizeable portion of the cops on their side…
Debtor’s prison is pretty much universally considered a violation of basic human rights. In the US there is even a strong contingent of legal scholars who feel that cash bail cannot be justified.
I apologize I don’t have time now to find a source for that.
The orcas seem to be only attacking much smaller boats, and only sailboats at that. Usually around 15 meter range. It seems to have something to do with the rudders too - they like ramming the rudders, and that’s where the boats sometimes start taking on water.
The other players didn’t like it when he ate their faces.
Think of it like he already spent that money. It belongs to the foundation now, not to him.
I’m not! I tiger!!
wait… that doesn’t work…
faux literally translates as false.
