4·20 hours agoFor real, nude sleep is the most comfortable and i assume the healthiest
161·20 hours agoJust for clarification, he’s not talking about actually having any sort of interaction with the drivers or even seeing their face, he’s talking about the car itself being his buddy, right? Like “that red toyota is my friend”, right?
3·4 days agoInsurance companies wouldn’t want to stop it, they’d be hard pushing for its use to be law! Preventative measures are MUCH cheaper to pay for than treatment costs. And they also wouldn’t have to pay as many human radiologists.
4·6 days agoI never got into the show but i LOVED the theme song. Whenever i randomly stumbled across the show opening I’d listen to it every single time
19·6 days agoI had a big credit with them. Fuck. I bet I’ll never get that back. How much more could trump personally screw me over as an individual.
13·6 days agoLinux year of the desktop for sure now!
1·9 days agoI did a little websearching and the reasons were brevity and secrecy. This is a reasonable rationale for some of the codes, but not for ones like “acknowledged”.
Icy pops. Known by many different names regionally, it’s those plastic tubes with frozen sugar water in them
Hot water on skin + sweet frozen water in mouth = mmmmmmm
Many of these seem dumb because they’d work better as just the actual word. Saying “ten four” is worse than saying “acknowledged”. It adds no additional information, just adds pointless complexity.
Some of them make sense because you might not want people in earshot to understand what you’re saying. But ones like 10-4 make no sense.
Is there some point to it that I’m not seeing?
Unpitted DO have pits, and pitted have NO pits.
Sounds so backwards. The problem is they’re referring to the verb of the word “pit”, meaning “removing the pit”. So “unpitted” means “not removing the pit”. So dumb.

You’re right to think that, because that’s how both words began!
My guess is it came about because people were using it to mean “something so bad it fills you with awe”. Like “the thing humans are doing to the environment are awful”. But then it lost its connection to awe.
That’s my guess.
No that’s different. A contronym is where the same single word has two opposing meaning. OP is asking for two separate words that sounds like they should be opposites but actually have the same meaning, like flammable and inflammable which both mean “can catch on fire”.
That’s called a contronym, which (as you said) is different than what OP is looking for

Absolutely, it’s like a quadriplegic person working horribly hard for years trying to get their toe to wiggle, and when they finally do wiggle their toe an able-bodied person tells them “see how easy that was?” -NO- just because it’s easy for you to wiggle your toe doesn’t mean it’s easy for everyone to wiggle their toe. The problem with adhd is that our disability is invisible.
