Next time use probabilistic multiple negatives, so the outcome remains undetermined even in principle.  Think Schrodinger's Foxbat here in a space-time continuum which is not simply connected or temporally sequenced.  Or have the Infinite Improbability Drive eat a Q-bomb when the probability is ten to the minus twenty-sixth power and you're stuck in whatever transient unreality it happened to be traversing when it got the cosmic bunga-bunga.

Current in-vogue slang terms that annoy me:

  • glow-up
  • low-key
  • sus
  • fam

 

It is befitting as both a physics faculty member and a member of the 65-plus set, I do not know the meanings of these terms and genuinely don't care.  You say "Sus" to me and I think "scrofa".  While "glow-up" should mean to ensure your own near-term demise by causing a criticality accident.

low-key is what Americans would call “the down low”

Not all of humanity has given up on itself. So long as there remains a group of smart, resourceful, dedicated people who reject fatalism and who can see the world as it really was and as it really is, the fight for the future of this planet and its inhabitants goes forward.

 

Well said, sir.

 

Can you let me know where that group of people is?

They are in hiding, as the corporate overlords cannot tolerate the possibility their secret might get out.

I sense sarcasm in Cancer's Liga MX post but being Atlantically challenged, I don't get it.

 

Watching a regular season match in the Mexican association football league during the NFL's Super Bowl would be considered blasphemous in many quarters over here.

 

OTOH, no matter what, I'd MUCH rather watch live sports than whatever halftime show comes on, possibility of wardrobe malfunction or no.
