The fuck kind of shit is this?

I swear, I'm going to have a block list so long because of out of place political jackasses that it will create a digital singularity and devour lemmy.

Anecdote time!

Our rooster refuses to stay dry when it rains, unless it is literally freezing.

He's a big ol' motherclucker, and the closest he gets is jumping on the grill, which is half under a tree so that big drops don't hit him direct when it's coming down hard.

If it's a regular rain, he just goes about his business after about fifteen minutes of what seems like bathing, where he fluffs up and flaps his wings while stomping and then preens for a bit. Then, he just hunts for bugs and happily clucks when he finds them. Sounds like a popcorn machine.

Gods, I hate that. I get that kids are essentially sociopaths, but it still sucks. I was in the AP/advanced English classes, and a lot of the kids through the years were total dicks about that with other kids. It's one thing to give someone the formal pronunciation, but don't mock them.

I'm sorry people were jerks to you.

What's worse is that your pronunciation is one of the more common variants among irish immigrant descendants in my area, just with an sh at the end instead of just an s. Weird mountain people lol, they know a smattering of Irish loaner words, but they've changed over the years.

Me too lol.

What's great is that my family is heavily irish, so there's bits and pieces of language from there. After I realized it was Irish in origin, it was obvious how it was originally said, but the gay-ass brain I have still likes gay ass better :)

Okay, so geas isn't a word commonly spoken.

So, most people run into it via some branch of fantasy, be it d&d or books.

So, how did any of you guys pronounce it in your head before you looked it up?

Edit: ffs, should I say "so" again, or what? Never commente when brain dead, folks.

southsamurai , to No Stupid Questions in What is this?

What's the ingredient list say? Some stabilizers and such can do that, if they aren't mixed properly.

I don't do it for a living, but I have family that run dairy. One of the things used for consistency and texture is carageenen (spelling?). It kinda looks like that when it's saturated. It's a moss or algae extract iirc (too lazy to look it up, but it's something like that, carageen is the original plant).

So, that would be my best guess, and if that's in the ingredients, that's almost certainly what it is.

Legit though, nobody alive today had anything to do with English becoming the trade language. It used to be French, but that went away and English filled in.

Any country where English is the primary language is going to have less people needing a second language for anything other than the general benefits it brings, which aren't truly necessary.

It isn't like everyone, everywhere speaks English on top of their first language, nor does everyone speak multiple languages. They do just fine with the dominant language of their country, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Also, Australians don't speak English. They speak Cunt :)
