- I forgot about this site! Keygen music is one of our unsung cultural treasures imo
- Ai used in this way is going to replace gui as we know it. Why click when you can just tell ai what you want to to do.
- So it's not immoral for a rights holder to manipulate you into buying more product...but it is immoral for me to continue to use the product I want, even after the company has made it impossible for me to compensate them for it?
- What's immoral about it? The company decided it doesn't want to make money off of it anymore, so he's not giving them any!
Just because it's against the rules doesn't mean it's hurting anyone.
- We are here, were everywhere!
- Chesterfield, serviette?
- Popularized by Trailer Park Boys in the 2000s, if not well before

- You would know where words came from based on the way they're spelt. That would let you know how to pronounce them. It's the exact same thing people do now we just do it without thinking.
The systems at work in English are not nonsensical like people like to parrot. To say it's not phonetic is just wrong on every level as well.
Frankly I'm fine with the historical oddities that have led to modern English. If non native speakers have issues, that's tough luck for them!
- Door and pool are pronounced the same where I am, with a drawn out double o sound. When spoken rapidly, the vowel contracts, especially in door.
- None of English is nonsense. But without diacritics, you need to know the historical contexts behind the different spelling or pronunciations to understand the rules.
- All those examples follow the linguistic patterns of the languages they come from. They aren't arbitrary, they just don't teach us the context when we're learning as children.
- Draught beer is a linguistic holdout. I think many USA places list it as draft beer.
- The rare double gotcha fact
- The wierd things the latest JP movies still have the Dino's as being featherless
- Brachiosaurus I think. Brontosaurus was originally thought to be a separate species from Apatosaurus but later revealed to be the same.
