Fair enough. I guess the meaning has drifted. There’s no arguing with the descriptive nature of language. Lexicons are pretty much just language censuses. That’s important because it’s how language works. At least the older meaning of “verbal” seems to be preserved in legal and clinical environments. I feel like it has a value.

For example, if someone is making sounds with their mouth that are not words, it’s oral but not verbal (under the older usage).

Sign language or text could be considered verbal but not oral.

There’s value in having a word that encompasses both written and spoken words.

*orally.

Text is still verbal.

You know what? I was thinking of CBS. Sorry, ABC.

Ammo’s not always cheap, though. A free shot to the head is a pretty good deal if you were going to pay for it anyway.

Hasn’t ABC been toeing the line recently? Are we sure they’re just not broadcasting what might be an embarrassing disaster?

Yeah, light cones are hard science and a pretty good indicator that the future will exist if it doesn’t already in some other sense. I don’t think the universe is deterministic, but it is at least probabilistic.

Found the repo company owner lurking on Lemmy.

I, too, am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I can’t find the following image from a few reverse image searches:

Lisa’s the next biggest cause of divorce after “irreconcilable differences.”

But have you considered the benefits of joining the Temple of Socks? Have you considered the cost to your soles if you don’t?

Are you trying to get them killed?

The platypus was definitely a last minute project.

Did you even try to built a shrine to the potato?

Yeah, Season 1, Episode 20: https://subslikescript.com/series/Community-1439629/season-1/episode-20-The_Science_of_Illusion

That’s okay. That’s what I love about the show. It’s fun to just watch, but there’s a lot of extra content in the details. I’ve watched every episode several times, at least once with headphones, subtitles and my full attention, and there’s no way I can remember every single reference. As long as you don’t forget Troy and Abed in the Morning, you’re good.

RTFM is a way of life. I’m not a car person by any means. I’m about as good at mechanics as fish are at cycling. I just read the manual, and do what it says, if I can. If not, I take the device to someone who can. Most devices come with documents made by intelligent, educated and experienced people who just want to help make it work.

Also, land disputes played a significant role:

“Balloon Returns: $10,000”

That balloon probably costs $30k-$60k to replace. The owner created his own hostage situation.

You might like the TV show, Community, then. I know I do.
