Leigh can be pronounced like 'Lee' or 'Lay'
You can have a use for something, and you can also use something (first one is pronounced the same as the end of 'papoose', second one is pronounced the same as 'ooze')
Yes, English is weird.
'Bough' and 'cough' are not pronounced the same. 'Bough' and 'bow' are pronounced the same. 'Knee' and 'Leigh' are pronounced the same. 'Neigh' and 'nay' are pronounced the same. 'Polish' (the nationality) and 'polish' (as in what you do to a metal object) are not pronounced the same. 'Tear' (as in to rip) and 'tear' (as in to cry) are spelled the same, but not pronounced the same. Other words which are spelled the same, but pronounced differently:
resume / resume present / present record / record close / close use / use live / live
Do any of them need the money so badly that they are doing this
You wouldn't think Elijah Woods is struggling for cash, but TV 'stars' absolutely need to continue working, as the residual royalties they get are really quite pathetic, especially when you consider the insane amount the studios who own the rights to the series' they were in get selling them to streaming services.
Iirc this was a big factor in the recent strikes. Residuals were massively slashed for streaming.
Sorry I'm well late replying to this! For some reason I didn't get the notification.
I've been trying really hard to boost my visualisation skills. The best I can do is a vague suggestion of an image, it's like made out of mist and dissipates instantly.
I think there's probably like you said, a lot of people who think not being able to conjure a distinct internal image = aphantasia. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I'm aphantasic as I score extremely poorly on any tasks that require mental image projection (eg manipulation of 3D objects, spatial reasoning etc). Iirc last time I did an IQ test which broke down IQ into various regions, I scored 17% on that part. And there's practically nothing there when I shut my eyes and concentrate.
I would wager that without having done halucinogens a number of times, that score / my ability would be even lower.
We also wasted time with that, one of my friends from back then had an even bigger fail the first time he bought hash.
Stood there for an hour burning it on the gas stove to get it to crumble, eventually came to the conclusion that he had been sold a stone hahaha.
Prob showing my age, as I think that's what it used to be called!
Hey, thanks for this informative reply, and for the work you do tracking DRS posts. We appreciates ya!
Fuckery is definitely afoot. All that really matters though is there's a critical mass of us who a) believe in Cohen's vision and leadership b) are prepared to be stubborn enough to hold through thick and thin. No shame for anyone who has had life dump on them to the point they had to sell most of their shares, keeping their home / family fed is more important than anything else for them personally. I appreciates them too for being in the fight in the first place. But, I also appreciates all my fellow HODLers!
Seeing that we lost just $0.01 per share on the last earnings call has defo given me a boost of confidence though. We're trending in the right direction for sure, and I think we should all realise at this stage that RC isn't going to give away any plans for future direction until they're 100% ready to launch. Just got to continue trusting in his leadership and buying where we can. I've not been able to add to my account at all over the last 9 months but fortunately have managed to avoid selling any.
I found some of their comments quite interesting, they clearly think a lot. Don't agree with everything they said but that's life, people have different opinions.
I'm going to go with it being an ascii equivalent of the 'namaste' hand gesture and stop thinking about it 😅

I'm prob on a list now for mentioning it
I saw a picture earlier of a baby hedgehog with its legs just like this. Probably not that though. Will OP ever release us from this mystery?
Republicans are scumbags. If you're a republican reading this, ask yourself what it is about your brain that makes you support true evil.
Do you feel small inside? Like you didn't get what you wanted from life, so now others should suffer?
