I mean the other names make sense with additional context
Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)
And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking
edit as I had to look this one up: “Booby” is an ellision of “Bobo” - as in “No seas tan bobo” (Spanish) - meaning “silly, naive, dumb…” as they tend to be quite tame birds

gonna be that guy but as you said you might be moving into education soon - and I used to make the same mistake myself but “remedial” has the same root as “remedy,” so a “remedial class” fixes something wrong. “Remedial exposure” doesn’t really make sense here as that would be “exposure that fixes something wrong with me” which is not quite what I think you meant
We did a year of unlimited time off. I took 2x1-week and 1x2 week and a few days here and there.
At the end of the year they announced no time off except Christmas and Thanksgiving days during Nov thru Jan and you can’t take more than a week off at the time.
They couple this with a company wide raise but if they don’t change the policy after the moratorium ends in January I think I’d rather earn less and have more time off.
Having lived and worked in both the UK and US, yes I pay roughly 4% less “tax” in the US.
but, as I didn’t have to pay for Healthcare, and my student loans payments were a percentage of my earnings — vs the amount I’ve had to pay for Healthcare, copay, scripts, etc here. If we actually compare like for like and assume that Healthcare payments are only not called a tax out of a semantic convention for political reasons despite being practically a tax by nearly any definition - I’ve pay way more in “”““tax””“” in the US.
Assuming the average person earns roughly $65k, would you pay an extra $200 for 100% fully covered, fully comprehensive, $0 co-pay, you walk in (to your nearest hospital, no need to check if they’re in network) get an x-ray, a blood test, your appendix removed, stay over night, go back the next day for kidney dialysis or chemotherapy and pay nothing more than that monthly extra $200/rate in perpetuity? Especially as the average cost is $456 (+ co pay) for Healthcare and that usually isn’t a “good” let alone the “best” package.
not to be too sophist about it - but while I agree party members care — the salient word in my above post is represent.
it doesn’t matter if the captain doesn’t want you to get shot if the general is telling the private to shoot you.
on the other hand, people probably felt the same about news, leaked correspondence, “yellow journalism” (fake news), crowd baiting speeches, pamphlets, flyers, and marches throughout pre-digital media.
one of the biggest issues, in my humble and also arrogant opinion, is that no political party in any English-speaking country, represents any interests of anyone earning under 7 figures. Maybe even 8 figures, and they have 0 interest or motivation in changing that — despite the lip-service both main parties make for it.
how unbiased can you be against things that are obviously wrong? “but what about all the good things Vlad the Impaler did?!”
fun fact: you can drink spicy water (seltzer). And it counts

I used a site that let’s you follow the same accounts on Masto as you did on Twitter.
the car replaced the horse, the plane replaced the ship, we still drive, we still travel.
My prediction is that AI will replace the PC like it replaced the typewriter, like it replaced the quill.
People will still write and act, but it will be a faster process.
Banshees of Inisherin? The Whale? Everything Everywhere All At Once? Succession? The Bear?
There’s loads of great acting out there. Maybe the issue is you’re buying tickets to Chris Pratt instead of other things?
