If any of y’all are in college and your professors get after you for not reading?
Those fuckers don’t read either.
ETA: Okay I talked to the particular person I was mad at on the phone and she’s actually a really sweet old lady so I feel bad that I called her a fucker on here, but she still didn’t read.

Climate change.
I was all excited to RP last weekend, going to have a great time!!!
And now it’s been 20 degrees hotter than normal for a week straight, and I have lost my mojo entirely.

@Kestrel Thanks, but I’d really rather not.

Harry is the hottie.

Not really a peeve, just something I’m thinking about.
Any of you Americans ever notice how often we’ll say “no” to mean “yes” and vice-versa? I’ve never had a problem telling which way someone means the word, but I’m sitting here trying to figure out the rules as if I needed to explain it to someone who’s ESL, and I can’t isolate the rules at all.

@GF There’s a variant among Midwesterners.
“Yeah, no.”
and
“No, yeah.”
It’s exactly as maddening as you imagine it to be.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

My principal asked me to do a walk and talk with her. I know consciously that it is legit just a check in. But there is always that “what did I do wrong and what punishment is coming” when there isn’t a set agenda.

Australians do that too, weirdly.
Weird that midwesterners and Australians both do it, that is.

@GF I notice it and I do it and I don’t know why and I hate it.
-
I use ‘yeah, no’ every so often here in NY. It’s a way to add emphasis to the ‘no’.
-
We say “so don’t I” as agreement.
“You like Kelly’s roast beef? So don’t I!” = “I too enjoy Kelly’s roast beef sandwiches.”

Just posting to second and bold this.
Somehow I missed this the first go around, so I’ll say it now: This isn’t the place for that. “This place” being the entire board/forum.
This has been an Admin post.

@Pavel It was oblique enough for me to feel perfectly comfortable in saying IDGAF about your admin post.
Have a good day.

We also do this in Philly, but the trick is the emphasis and length of the response.
“No, yeah” = “No-yeah” = Yes.
“Yeah, no” = “Yeeeeah, no” = No, and also you should maybe fuck off with that dumb suggestion.
“Yeah, no” = “Yeah (^upward inflection), no (hardstop).” = Absolutely not and do not ask me again.
