I think a professional headline would usually just lack the comma there. Headlines typically have weird phrasing (due to their terseness), but they’re generally still grammatically sound.
I think “HackerNews owner hacked” would be a headline, rather than “HackerNews owner, hacked”.
“Have I Been Pwned owner pwned” seems to be on par with “Headline English” to me
It feels awkward to me. I don’t think it’s grammatically correct. To me, it doesn’t add any clarity, especially when the comma could’ve been the word “got” or something, lol
Not necessarily. If someone is genuinely socially liberal, they won’t like politicians that dehumanize minority groups. They won’t necessarily want to pay to protect them, but they’d generally be in favour of laws to protect them, etc.
I am not fiscally conservative, but I’ve met people like this. Pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, probably even pro-churches-paying-taxes.
But cutting funding to education to lower taxes? Sure. Anti-public transit (unless they’re smart and know that public transit can be more efficient). Anti-international spending. Stuff like that.
But I live in Canada, where we actually do have a “Centre-ish” party that’s generally fiscally conservative to an extent, but socially liberal. And our right-wing party isn’t quite as big on the dehumanizing aspect. Banning abortion isn’t really on the table, and banning gay marriage is generally an unpopular opinion for even the right-wing political leaders.
Why is there a comma in the, title?
Yeah,.there are plenty of instances where I’m adding a new URL for a password because the app and the website are too different from each other, or the app changes its login paths…
Or heck, sometimes it’s close enough, and with my password manager on my phone, I don’t have it auto fill – I have it auto-suggest. So “Probably a match” and “Exact match” have the same path to entry.
…did you think there were perfect people in the White House before this? Or at any point in your life? Haha
(Maybe as a child would that make sense…)
Only just today?
Depending on the age, they do it on purpose. Sometimes it’s because they are just figuring out social situations – doing X to person Y results in action Z.
You can find videos of babies pretending to be stuck and crying to get attention. When “unstuck” and not given attention, they stop crying, get themselves fake-stuck again and start crying again. They want the attention and coddling that they got the last time they were legitimately stuck.
I’m sure some babies know they’re faking it.
What do you mean by “trolling”? It’s not like that’s a word that has a consistently agreed-upon definition.
I don’t like paying taxes to fund public services, but I don’t care what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms
Now it’s just going for those sr dev roles…
Hmm…if it’s close, I’d just use my keyboard. If it’s far, I’d probably want the precision of the cursor anyway.
On the phone? Because otherwise, why not cut and paste?
Yeah, that’s either two “sentences” or one statement imo!
The first part doesn’t even need to be a question. A suggestion like that would usually be a statement. If there’s enough rising intonation that it needs a question mark, there’s probably enough of a pause to justify having two sentences.
Even with the en dash, it looks like subtraction to me! Haha
An em dash wouldn’t, but that would also probably be too wide
Isn’t that just “approximately equal to”, and as such, wouldn’t express a range?
Ah, I see. Like you suggested though, that’s definitely not a question (which is what the other comment said)
To express a range of numbers, Korean (and likely other Asian languages) will use a tilde instead of a dash or hyphen. To me, that better expresses that we’re talking about an indeterminate value or a range. Especially when we use ~ for “about”, as in ~$20 for something that costs $17.99 before tax, for example.
Dining out costs like 20~40 dollars per person!
Whereas “20-40” looks too similar to a subtraction equation or a hyphenated word to me.
Either the whole thing is a question or you need to break it up.
I’m curious if you can convince me otherwise though!
Even people who had great childhoods often spend “the other 8 hours” trying to be kids again.
You either gotta do it like the rest of us and find time for enjoyment between work and errand, or find a way to make money off your “adult childhood”. Neither is easy, but you’ve been through a lot, so you’re obviously capable of doing difficult things.
It might help if you schedule time for it. That way, you can say, “On Tuesday, I’m going to do these things I missed out on as a kid from 7 to 9pm”. And then you play. Or whatever.
You need this, and everyone needs it, so don’t feel bad about scheduling it. You’re helping yourself heal.
