It's pretty hard to not be able to care less.......

Yeah I've heard USAians say "could care less" when they mean "couldn't" so often. what is that?Hype wrote:Couldn't care less. If they could care less, that means they care some amount where even if they cared less they would still care.

yeah but the divergence in that example must've happened at some point. I wonder why.mockbee wrote:Idioms don't care about logic.nausearockpig wrote:Yeah I've heard USAians say "could care less" when they mean "couldn't" so often. what is that?Hype wrote:Couldn't care less.

Oh... I didn't realize he had a platform outside of "Keep them out" "You're ugly and a loser" and "Trust me, I know how to get things done"
this is the first election in a long time that i really don't like any of the candidates much at all. even the last few republican nominees i could of lived with being the president.Bandit72 wrote:Is there ANY chance Trump could get elected President?
Yeah, I know... it's a thing that happens. Especially idioms that have prepositions in them.. they get flipped or reversed to the point where they literally mean the opposite, or something orthogonal. But 'could care less' just bugs me... because it's not a problem with a preposition (like saying "stay where you're at" or the fucking cringeworthy "on accident") it's just a failure to say the contraction of the negation "not"... which is silly. Just say "couldn't"! It's what you mean!mockbee wrote:Idioms don't care about logic.nausearockpig wrote:Yeah I've heard USAians say "could care less" when they mean "couldn't" so often. what is that?Hype wrote:Couldn't care less.

I'm sure his billionaire buddies that make money off of the causes going unaddressed.Bandit72 wrote:Who is telling Trump that global warming is a hoax?

Apologies for freedom, I can’t handle this.
When freedom rings, answer the call!
On your feet, stand up tall!
Freedom's on our shoulders, USA!
Enemies of freedom face the music, c'mon boys, take them down
President Donald Trump knows how to make America great
Deal from strength or get crushed every time

I was thinking the same thing! I can see Etty in one of those outfits too. Of course, her skirt would be much shorter.Bandit72 wrote:

That's actually quite scary. They're like computer programs.Artemis wrote:
That's ridiculous. Trump won't be the nominee. It will be close, but I have a suspicion that this is truly going to fracture the Republican Party. This isn't going to be a peaceful convention. Establishment white collar Republicans can't stand Trump and they don't like Cruz either. Maybe a third person will emerge, I thought it was going to be Rubio, but he's not gaining any popularity either.Bandit72 wrote:I have a friend in Illinois who said

When I asked if it was because of her fucking useless husband he replied
"It's because she's a liar, and under investigation by the FBI"
It's not looking good is it?
