"Courtesan" is an example in English, originally meaning 'noblewoman'.

There's also "minx", which originally just meant 'person'. (It's a cousin of "mensch".)

Also "doctor" means teacher. The specific term for someone who practices medicine is "physician".

Also Dude, "sand person" is not the preferred nomenclature.

As a staunch soupist, I'm afraid I can't support him.

Also I'm neither conservative nor British.

It's funny, I just switched to pulseaudio hoping it would fix some issues I've been having with pipewire. It did not.

Edit: I'm not on Mint, though, so best of luck.

It's funny, I don't think I would even understand the attack matrix reference, had I not just watched a yt series about Gamma World (and Metamorphosis Alpha).

It seems like you're making some assumptions about what he did or did not do with the chocolate.

Well, not always: Plural 'they' is a borrowing from Old Norse ca. 1200 AD, and the earliest attestation of singular 'they' is about a century later.

But, yeah, you'd think 700 years of continuous use would be enough to make it uncontroversial...

It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it's just hidden in the cost of the device.

Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.

Huh. TIL that italic emoji are a thing.

…I don't know why that's surprising to me, since they're just Unicode, but it is.

Revealed spoiler text appears at first to be blank. Highlighting reveals that it's there, just the same color as the background.

Edit: this is in 120
