Thank you Tumblr
I needed to hear about relic English still living among us
ed: corrected tense
![β Hal Sawyer - 2y ago (edited) : My favorite relic English still used everywhere is the word "the" used in phrases like: "the more | look at this, the stranger it seems', or "the bigger they come, the harder they fall". This "the" is not the article of any noun, itis a different word, a conjunction descended from the old English "pa", pronounced "tha" which means either "when" or "then". Back in early Middle English the structure "if - then" had not taken over and if you wanted to express an if - then relationship you said "pa whatever, pa whatever", meaning "when such-and- such, then such-and-such". "pa" sounds almost the same as "the" and the spelling of the two converged, but the meaning remained totally different. "the more, the merrier" literally means "when more, then merrier" or "if more, then merrier'; same as centuries ago.

One bad apple spoils the whole barrel
The customer is always right in matters of taste
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb
You keep using only part of that saying. I do not think it means what you think it means

Why are ethics questions always like:
"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:
"is it ethical to sell bread when families are starving?"

Anna's hummingbirds exceeded all my expectations. Amazing little creatures, full of character that viciously defended their feeding patches against conspecifics. Then, with a twist of the neck, their head became alive with the most incredible colour!

my more controversial take is I LOVE and support ROM hackers and modders & feel strongly that they are legit game devs who deserve hella props for dedication to their craft but i know this one is kind of fiddly
like there's companies like bethesda who also love their modders and will even hire from their modder pool, but then companies like nintendo who despise them π«

Some assholes worshipping a sun god from down south just put up a fort, saying this is the edge of civilization.
They are harrying the lizard-folk in the swamp and have killed a bunch of the cave clans. The delicate peace everyone has worked hard to achieve is falling apart.
They're saying that you all are bandits, sworn to chaos and need to be killed. They've put prices on your heads.
