#2 the way I teach adjective order as an ESL teacher is (opinion) + (size, physical property, shape, age, colour, pattern, origin, material, type/style, purpose) noun. Additionally for it to sound natural you need to limit this to three adjectives in the correct order, of any type you choose including more than one of the same type if you like, but opinion is separate, so you can use four adjectives. More than that is weird.

#7 The left loses a hell of a lot of the time here. It most certainly does not help that we have to settle for voting for Democrats just to keep Republicans out of office. It is also frustrating to have to keep explaining that we have to enact voting reform to move away from our current two-party-enforcing system, and yet the idea still struggles to gain any traction.

#20 Computers don't slow down with more data saved to the hard drive (if their hard drives are under 90% capacity) so if they had a 4TB drive and filled it halfway, the computer wouldn't run any slower. RAM being full of viruses or open tabs will slow down machine though.

#5 Didn’t the Supreme Court just make a ruling that presidents can’t be tried for illegal things they did as president? Biden could legit do this now right? “Oh? The orange man? Yeah, he was a threat to national security so I had him taken out.”
methistopholes
Out of curiosity...do you really want to announce yourselves as an existential threat to everyone who disagrees with you politically in one fell swoop? All at once you tell everyone to the Left and Right of your own position that you will kill them for heresy?

Liberals won't just come out and say "Trump is a likely pedophile so vote for a kid diddler if that's what you support", because... I don't know. Stupid ethics or some shit.

#5 This was already suggested, back when Biden was inaugurated, to invoke the Patriot act and pack all the insurrectionists to GITMO and others, to not only send a message, but to eliminat3 the real threat they posed. Of course Biden, or his handlers, apparently, didn't do anything about it, and here we are.

As a Republican, please for the love of God do this, Make Cloaked42m your party's front runner. Reveal yourselves as full on card carrying Fascists. I would re-register as Democrat to vote in your primaries just to see a Democrat tell the truth.

Assuming that "look like him" includes all the canon and implied abilities of Gungans, then yes. Without question or hesitation.

TheHolyFatman
I believe he was writing about the Bund, a German American Nazi group that damn near got power in the 1930s. They started local and carried a lot of elections. They preached about making America great (literally the slogan) and had ties to ranking Nazi officials. It was clothed in patriotism and definitely carrying a cross......perhaps two, maybe twisted into a symbol we all recognize.....

Yeah it's like... maybe we should learn lessons from history instead of doing the exact same dumb shit every new generation...

*looks at first-past-the-post voting* If A gets 45%, B gets 40%, and C gets 15%, A will win even if every supporter of B would have preferred C over A and every supporter of C would have preferred B over A. Had C not run, B would have gotten 55% and won, but C entering causes A to win instead.
We really need to reform the system so this doesn't happen, but until then, is the possibility of C worth helping A?

#2 in English, "the brown big cat" and "the big brown cat" are subtly different and both have legitimate meaning depending on circumstances.
lucivjov
In those circumstances, the words are no longer being used as adjectives. I.E “brown cat” by itself is a noun, but brown alone is an descriptor
Crowlands
One is a brown lion, the other is a fat brown housecat.
spookyu
In English there exist a lot of different ways to say the same thing, with vastly different words and sentence structure, or inversely to say two different things using incredibly similar vocabulary and grammar... I don't *really* know what I'm talking about honestly, but I've lived in a lot of places and picked up tidbits of language along the way, it just seems to generally hold true. For better or worse, English is complicated.
NOINITIATIVE
If I'm looking for a cat I want to know what size first (am I looking for chungus brown thing or a small brown thing.)
Phaxey
When there are multiple big cats, referring to one of them as the brown big cat makes total sense.
Xenarion
Indeed, because in that case "big cat" together acts as the noun, so to speak.

There's ... People out there that think cishet people don't belong in any pride parade??? Damn, that's cold. It would be funny for me , a retransitionned cishet man (previously lesbian trans woman for 10 years, previously cishet man), just to call them out on gatekeeping.
JeremyRedhead
If I may ask, why did you re-transition? Especially after such a long time. (part of my curiosity stems, i must admit, from my ongoing 6-year struggle with/questioning of my gender as an AMAB individual. and yes, every person is, well, an individual, and different, but I still can't help but wonder if i might glean some knowledge about myself, and perhaps learn the "right"(?) path to take, from another person's experience)
lucivjov
Because sometimes you have to try it out to realize it’s not you after all I guess.
eslachance
The reason I did is that I'm probably more gender fluid than I am binary. I didn't care enough about being misgendered, I wasn't continuing to move forward with transition (didn't get surgery), and I was guilting myself for not doing the steps I needed. If it wasn't *that* critical to me, I feel it wasn't worth the stress, the guilt, or the complexities. My suggestion to you: just explore, be yourself, and don't be afraid to go wherever that takes you! 🥰
JeremyRedhead
Ah, yea, that makes sense then. Doesn't make sense to leave a tight constricting box for what feels like another tight constricting box! Thank you for the insight. And we should all be free to just explore in order to find ourselves! 💜

However, a green Great Dragon can exist as Great Dragon is the proper noun for the species.
moreGarlicYouCoward
The way I think about this is like a variable in programming. In this case the entire string "Great Dragon" becomes a noun itself such that you can have a "baby Great Dragon". Great, in this way, seems to lose the adjective quality
Strategicgnomer
You can also mix them up if they're far enough apart. A little green rectangular old book also works.
SecretCatPolicy
That's why we capitalise proper nouns.

SmoeAhsolse
It's usually 8 or more, but I think this technically works.
tr0lleyjack
So could you say 'white great shark' ?
CantStopLurking
In this case no, because great shark isn't a generally accepted variety of shark, but the great white shark is a specific species.
SmoeAhsolse
But you could have an Australian polyester great white shark.
ArchSchnitz
Every time this comes up I think of Shadowrun and how I'm sure one of the great dragons would argue that you can indeed have green great dragons. Maybe Schwartzkopf? Dunkelzahn would argue it out of politeness, I'm sure. (RIP.)

RIP to the best Great Dragon.

Hestaby's our girl now.
WarlockSniper
Reminds me of a campaign I once ran, all from a single throwaway line about her in a splatbook. It mentions she has a Tribe of Otaku called The Clutch. Nothing else. So I made backstory on the Clutch, wrote up important characters the PCs could meet and for a plotline I had Deus return, outside of the Arcology, seeking shards of itself. Hestaby was aware after 2 successful runs, and sent the Clutch to stop the murderAI. Who would the players trust, the Johnson who communicated through drones,
WarlockSniper
who splurged nuyen like it was nothing, or the Creepy As Fuck Kids who all seemed to have some sort of weird dragon motiv and were decked out in all kinds of uncanny cybernetics and barely looked metahuman?
When they decided to accept the meeting with "Dragonmother" they already suspected Hestaby. Cue the Otaku being almost Imperium-of-Man devoted to her (almost because they might be MORE fanatical) despite her treating every single one of them as beloved pets. I loved playing that out.

Brown big cat would be like a brown lion while a big brown cat would be a fat brown house cat. I typed brown too much and it looks weird now
DukeDarkwood
How now?

This makes me think of Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

To make it weirder, there is no light brown, only shades of orange
spittytrinkles
When you say "no light brown" do you mean no paler shades of brown, or are you referring to the fact that, much like pink, there is no brown wavelength of light?
FrozenMojo
I have to sit for a minute.
Hornet65
That's because brown only exists as a color because we decided give a specific name to dark orange. Dark red, dark purple, dark blue, dark green... brown.
