Morbo:
REGULAR SOUND SHIFTS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Youâre more likely to see other names assimilated to the common paradigm. Miken, Bobben, Daven, Billen, Jamen, Alexen, Kristofen, etc.
If you have pronounced stress on a single syllable, youâre likely to lose syllables, like in French and English, especially British English. West Germanic in general lost a lot of masculine nominative endings. But youâre more likely to lose middle syllables from longer words. So Kristen, Alen, etcâŚ

What really grinds my gears: my brain.
I have a couple of friends who like to meet up close to my office about once a month. The latest meetup was tonight, and I forgot.
They just called to ask if I was okay. Argh.

Thanks for reminding me! 
My landlord even stopped by today (to check on the landscapersâ work) and I thought of it then but promptly forgot when I got back inside.

So I opened my window to let in a little fresh air, and soon after that someone stood under my window smoking some of that le reefure. Now my apartment smells worse than the back seat of Cheech and Chongâs Subaru.

Fortunately it isnât cigs, so should dissipate quickly. I used to have a downstairs neighbor who put a box fan in his window facing out so he could smoke without going outside. Thanks motherfucker!

LOL no it doesnât. Iâve practically gotten a contact high walking past my neighborâs door on occasion. Although it doesnât seep into the walls and furniture quite the way cigarette smoke does.

Can anyone confirm whether itâs possible to ignore Jeff at TOS, or does his privileged staff account mean we all have to listen to his BS? My activity there has fallen low enough that I canât ignore any user to check myself.

And yes, he is such a self-absorbed, condescending, intentionally obtuse twunt.

I tried to route around the button by inputting his nym directly in the form in my preferences. If you start typing it in, it will appear as a clickable option, but ultimately the system wonât accept it.
ETA: You can supposedly mute him though.

This tells me all I need to know:
I find that changing peopleâs minds can take years, even decades. It doesnât happen overnight.
Heâs so convinced he has the right answer that his goal in discourse is to change everyone elseâs mind, even if it takes years to do so.
Thatâs not a statement you make if you have the slightest inkling that youâre wrong, because if youâre willing to listen to what other people say and critically examine how it lines up with your own beliefs, you can shift your perspective overnight, literally so.
So someone measuring changing minds in âyearsâ is obviously not acknowledging the possibility that itâs their own mind that might need to be changed.

That is the funniest epithet I have heard in years. And for techbros so appropriate.
