I was speaking figuratively when I said all babies are swaddled. You decided to chime in with an irrelevant AkShEwAlLy, so claiming I’m too ignorant to participate in the conversation is very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I accept you lack the capacity as a person to admit you were wrong and concede, so instead I bid you good day and hope that someday someone better than you will inspire you to become better yourself.
Explain to me how you saw a link covering literal and figurative language and still decided to ask such an ignorant question.
So not at birth then?

Since we’re just linking wikipedia articles that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
So not at birth?
You’re right. No one has ever swaddled a baby, certainly not often enough that we have a specific word for it. It stands to reason no one has ever handed a baby to their mother either.
When does your mother start treating you differently based on sex?
Now that I think about it, you’re right. If you’re a male, you get swaddled and handed to your mother, but if you’re female, you get swaddled and handed to your mother.
Shouldn’t it be that you identify with your birth sex? If gender is a social construct you don’t have a gender at birth. When the doctor says “It’s a boy” they’re referring to the genitalia you have, not assigning you a social position.
I have never seen that style of container for takeout in my life and I spent two decades in the service industry. That’s not common in America.
Still, for arguments sake that works out to about £.05 per box. Of course, that’s if you go to the wholesaler to pick it up. If you’re running a restaurant, you probably get it delivered with the rest of your dried goods. You pay for that, just like you pay for the cutlery and the napkins and the sauce packets and the bag it all goes in.
A buck really isn’t unreasonable here. I’ve worked at spots where the takeout container was $0.30 each, and that’s without figuring in the delivery/fuel surcharge.
It’s a charge for the container your takeout food went into. They’re a significant expense, especially if it’s any type of sustainable packaging. This is not new. It has been a thing since at least the early 2000s.
Eberron seems like it would be a good source to pull ideas from.
It rhymes with has gun
I agree. That’ll happen anywhere people reflexively downvote and insult over an objectively true statement just because it doesn’t fit their worldview.
I don’t care enough to go back and read what I wrote to confirm, but I’m fairly sure that I said I could tell when English wasn’t someone’s native language as an ancillary statement to my initial point that the correct course of action is to assume everyone is American unless contrary evidence arises.
I do not assume anyone who writes a certain way online is a native speaker. I assume anyone who writes a certain way is an American. We are the largest group of native English speakers online, especially in forums that aren’t dedicated to a specific country.
plans to pursue changes” that would let regular users vote moderators out more easily
I think that’s a good thing in the long run. A lot of reddit moderators are absolutely shit people, and having an actual process to remove them is a good thing.
It should go without saying fuck u/spez and that his motives here are absolutely malicious in nature, but I do see some small good coming from this.
That’s not what you said. What you said was downvotes mean I’m wrong. I showed a case that clearly proved you were wrong, so now you’re trying to make a strawman argument out of an insignificant tangent.
I don’t think you actually believe anything you’re saying or are even cognizant of what it is that you are saying. I think you saw someone being downvotes and jumped on it as an opportunity to feel better about yourself since people are more likely to downvotes me since I’ve already been downvoted. I hope you progress in your life to the point where you don’t need this validation from others to function.
Good luck, and have a nice day.
Downvotes don’t mean I’m wrong. Downvotes mean people disagree with me. The two are not always the same.
By your logic, if I were to go into a conservative community and get downvotes for saying trans people deserve to live, that would mean they don’t deserve to live.
We need to move to single payer healthcare and just eliminate the need for insurance companies.
