Me? I took four years of Latin. All A's! But you're right about learning it. I got to fifth semester where there are only serious students and discovered just how much I'd failed to learn. My handle is an unintentional monument to that shame. Same story with Classical Greek. My powerful short term memory carried me at the beginning without me even knowing it. 

I am teaching myself Spanish now. I don't remember the Latin palabras, but knowing many forms and constructions has helped. Me encanta estudiar la idioma espanol y apprenderla.

Same.  4 years of HS Latin but woefully inadequate command.

It must be from somewhere else -- El Arroyo has their logo on top of the signage.

Ah, yeah. I knew there was something missing.

Goddammit, I really like Branded Bills hats. If they're gonna print this stuff, I'll have to stop wearing them. 

Same.

What is the insignia? Is that white power or something? Could be their buying the BB hats blank and having their own people put the logoing on them. Hopefully, that's the case.

OK, so lie, get called out, not like the questions, and leave a Congressional Testimony? Yeah that is normal for an acting Secretary of any US Department or Agency.

I think we should all take cognitive tests and be required to post the results in our avatar whenever we post something on social media

Never understood bragging about only speaking one language. Dumb motherfuckers

This cognitive exam stuff is just fucking bonkers even for him. Yes, past presidents didn’t take them because they knew they would fail them. Unlike Dotard, who did so well all the doctors were left in shock at how perfect his scores were. Because that’s how cognitive exams for 80 year-old insane people work.

It's a Jerusalem Cross.  Became popular or was invented during the Crusades, the original anti-Muslim action.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_cross

And yes, it is a symbol of Christian white nationalism.

I guess it's DEI because it supposedly helps the visually impaired.  So I guess we're gonna start deporting and punishing the blind and deaf next, maybe the elderly?

But if changing fonts is wasteful, isn't it doubly wasteful changing back?

It helps literally everyone who reads stuff off a screen.  
If they really want the typefaces to set the tone for this administration, they may want to consider Wingdings.

Somebody on NPR this morning discussed this "accessibility" issue of font changes.

But I think independent of that, for a long time many courts have mandated that pleadings and other filings conform to a certain font that is not Times New Roman, because almost everyone is reading electronic documents these days, and those other fonts are much easier to read on a screen.  It has absolutely nothing to do with "wokeness."

Trump launches $1m 'gold card' immigration visas

President Donald Trump has launched a scheme offering fast-tracked US visas to wealthy foreigners who can pay at least $1m (£750,000).

The card will give buyers a "direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people. SO EXCITING! Our Great American Companies can finally keep their invaluable Talent," Trump said on social media on Wednesday.

*EL idioma

Because words that derive from Greek and end in "ma" are masculine.

El programa, el idioma, etc.

I'm embarrassed I can't speak Spanish given the amount of classes I took in HS and college.

You can't truly learn a language until you go somewhere that you are forced to speak it.  I learned this after spending my time getting a second major in Spanish at UT, which had like the second best Spanish department in the country while I was there.  I took three years, could read and write all you wanted.  Couldn't speak for shit until I lived in Argentina and Spain.  Even practicing with Mexican friends, we'd always fall back on English.

I still use serif fonts and local rules that address it still require serif fonts.

I got bored with TNR a long time ago and have been using Century Schoolbook, Garamond, Palatino and others.  PTO now requires filing in docx format and recognizes only a limited number of fonts, so Liberation Serif for a lot of things now.

Well, my point was, when you start invidiously discriminating (anti-wokeness), it gets kind of hard to stop with just brown people and women.  Pretty soon, you're onto blind, deaf, mental handicaps, physical handicaps, fat people, Jews. Catholics and so on.

Like the meme says, "everything I don't like is woke,"  "this engine is woke."

Legal rules that decrease readability (all caps, justified) or are obsolete in an era when you can set embiggening levels (briefs must be 14 point!) all need to diaf

So I was a terrible student at Baylor and really only paid attention to the history classes that were interesting to me. Well to get a BA you had to have 4 semesters of a foreign language and I was supposedly 2 semesters and a summer from graduation with only a single D in Portuguese to my name. 

Turns out you can take two semesters of two different dead languages to count as a foreign language. I took a fall and a spring of Latin and then needed two semesters of Classical Greek in one month to graduate over the summer. Intensive Classical Greek from 8-1 five days a week was the worst academic experience of my life. I never want to hear the terms nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, or vocative ever again.

but did you kill a farmer on a drug fueled pagan romp and then have to murder your friend when he figured it out?

Could be in the ICE thread, but nah, belongs here. So much for competition for services. 

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE. THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE MODIFICATION TO G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS, INC, 70CDCR20D00000017 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisition Management (OAQ), on behalf of the Enforcement & Removal Operations (ERO), intends to award a sole source modification of Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract number 70CDCR20D00000017 to G4S Secure Solutions, Inc. located at 1395 University Boulevard, Jupiter FL, 33458, for the operation and management of transportation and protection of detainees for ICE primarily, but not exclusively, in southern Texas.

His hand has been fucked up for awhile now. If handshaking was causing that kind of damage, maybe go to fist bumps?

You’d really think they could come up with a better lie, but why bother.

Have a childhood time friend that recently got this tattooed. Lines look like they were done in an alley behind an immigrant owned gas station next to the dumpster by yet another angry white guy. He thinks the holy war is on the way. I still haven’t stopped making fun of him on our grext so I may be on the list to get killed first once the ‘war’ starts, and there is  no way in hell am I going to stop fucking with him and his queer tattoo.  You can’t dismiss this ignorant yet blatant behavior. 
when I was relaying this to my elderly Mother, childhood friend was one of her favorites, she said ‘Jesus Christ what has happened to him, well at least it’s a good thing he never had children’. 

It’s been crickets since I sent him the Stephen Lynch ‘Queer Tattoo’ song.
