Vielleicht ein formelles Interview mit Nena?

Ursprünglich war es so:

Ye=ihr

You=euch

Aber mit der Zeit ist thou meistens verschwunden und das Fall System ist im Englischen etwas zusammengebrochen.

Technisch gesehen, kommt “you” aus dem objektiven Pronomen für die zweite Person Plural “ye”- früher war es formell (ursprünglich war es aber nur Plural und hatte nichts mit Respekt zu tun, aber mit dem französischen Einfluss nach 1066 wurden Könige mit dem Plural angesprochen, welche sich auch für andere “ungleichen” Beziehungen in der Gesellschaft verbreitet hat).

Also eigentlich hat Englisch nur “Sie/Ihr” aber Englischsprachler haben keine Ahnung (ich als Englischmuttersprachlerin und DaF-Lehrerin habe es gerade gelernt) und schaffen weitere Pluralformen für “you.”

Aber ich sehe es genauso- ich erkläre meinen Studis, dass “Sie” vergleichbar mit “Sir/Ma’am” und/oder Anrede mit Nachnamen ist. Das Problem ist, wie du auch angesprochen hast, ich bin als Erwachsene in den USA oft im Wartezimmer beim Arzt mit Vornamen gerufen- und ca. ein drittel meine Ärzte haben sich nur mit ihren Vornamen vorgestellt. Sowas kann ich mir wirklich nie auf Deutsch vorstellen- vielleicht ganz im Norden von Deutschland oder Berlin?

Did yours ever break?

I’ve never really had a phone break unreasonably- I went from Nokias to super old iPhones and even though I drop them on tile, concrete, and cobblestones pretty frequently, I just get good cases and I’ve been pretty lucky. Sometimes the screens crack, but I’ve had to replace them more due to storage than anything else (I had 8, 16, and 32 gig models that just don’t work with modern OSs and apps anymore, but I did also run one over with a car, and that reasonably made it mostly unusable).

I was in high school when razrs came out and I never had one, but they were pretty popular in my school. I don’t know if it was just the comparison with Nokias, or that all the razr owners I knew were children, but they broke constantly.

Were they better than I remember if you treated them well?

That… is an endorsement

Oh god, I didn’t go to an Apple Store! I went to T-Mobile (iirc, but maybe it was Cingular?). Probably not significantly better, but nobody looking at me with two iPhones 4, one smashed to smithereens, and one just most of a decade old, thought they were getting a sale, lol

This was before I was able to go outside of my provider (I had been a T-Mobile customer and I brought in a sprint iPhone, back when they were still locked and I didn’t have a SIM card yet- after that, I could switch to whatever). I eventually brought the guy a 5s and he could switch it over, but it was 2019, to be fair, and the 8 was the oldest option they had available in store.

Yes, but same actors and same topic is less common. Hence the “at first.”

I loved the 4. I dropped it while looking for a lost dog, and ran it over with a car, which finally broke it for good. I tried to get my account transferred to a friend’s old iPhone 4, but the guy at the store (this was before SIMs in iPhones, I think, so they needed to transfer your phone service over in store) said he literally couldn’t do it and tried to sell me the 8. No idea if that was correct, but I didn’t buy it.

I mixed it up with The Knick and felt like they were missing the minor distinction of over a century

It would make me think so at first. Like, I wondered if Rob Lowe was going to get involved when I read that Janney and whitford were doing a political drama together.

It’s not enough to win the case, but I absolutely agree that there’s enough there to bring the case.

I don’t know if it’s just that I’ve heard so much news about Merrick Garland and relatively little about gorsuch, but so far I’ve actually been pretty glad that garland didn’t get confirmed.

Every other trump nominee has been a nightmare, but gorsuch is actually sort of okay.

I guess there is a point of giving no fucks you reach at some point, yeah. I’ve used the parking lot, but I was connected to different wifi.

The last time I had a work laptop, I did have to make an appointment with IT for them to install Firefox, because we couldn’t download any programs and it only came with chrome. It was incredibly annoying, but I guess I can appreciate it a little more now (but for real, why the appointment?).

Thinking about it more thoroughly though, I downloaded probably about 30k lawsuit filings over the course of my job there. Most were from trustworthy sources, but sometimes they were just in document repositories arranged by law firms.

I hope they have some way of securing that 🙃

I assumed they were doing the interview and sent the employee an updated cv or similar, but I was wrong

The Pyongyang-backed crew is also highly adept at job market scams - both posing as IT workers, who are then hired by Western companies, and as potential employers to lure software engineers into downloading malware and infecting corporate devices.

Fr, why use your current work laptop?

I think he looks like an extra from the matrix who looked too nice to make the final cut. But I know he is badass, and that’s the point :)

I hope Ted Cruz is afraid.

If you keep not using it, you’ll be second rate in no time!

Still can be, if you’re a Muslim in Myanmar

We’ve basically already brought it back with milkshaking, but a milkshake is much less conspicuous (and cheaper, unless you’re literally just doing whip in a pie tin).

Monkey’s paw: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is never getting out of the arrest-jail-appeal cycle.
