  • The level of vitriol against pelosi is in no small part because of republican efforts to demonise her. Yes, she’s a corrupt plutocrat. But why do people hate her specifically, versus every other corrupt plutocrat that makes up the leadership of the democratic party?

    She forced out biden and was one of the few dems who actually wanted to fight this election. But she was also a driving force behind the kamala campaigns failed right turn which destroyed her own good work.

    She’s a more complicated corrupt plutocrat than people give her credit for, is I guess my point.

    I am the friendly staff, and I often think how much I could enjoy life on the other side.

    That said, the food is vile. That’s really the deal breaker for me. The first meal I made, the gravy made me wretch more than the toilet shared by 3 incontent schizophrenic men.



  • I always presumed Yoda’s native language was an Object Subject Verb (OSV) language, or used OSV for emphasis. It’s common for 2nd language speakers to occasionally slip into native language grammar - such as Chinese speakers omitting the/a.

    Yoda can correctly use SVO in English (Galactic Common iirc?), just not all the time. Again suggesting a proficient non-native speaker. For example: ”Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

    Yaddle doesn’t speak like Yoda, indicating either better fluency or an SVO native language - not all the species need speak the same native language.
