But he's posing in front of a tram? Make it make sense!

Nosferatu needs to lay off the blood of the innocent for a bit - he's clearly over-indulged.

Being less evil would be nice, but we can only reasonably expect so much.

So, what do you do if this guy democratically wins?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Hope he gets hit by a car.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Complain on Lemmy about the people that you’re surrounded by, I guess.

I think most of us who live in America know the feeling.

“Fewer” since they are countable.

ETA this is basic grammar and not something you can just take exception with because you feel like it. The responses I’m receiving are very odd.

He could just make them shorter.

If there are two bike lanes merging into one, there are one, two or three bike lanes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Water isn’t countable but lanes are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean, technically water is countable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (19 children)

How many waters in that glass?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Depends on if you're using water to include types of water (if, like a maniacal madman, you have mixed Evian, Buxton and Harrogate mineral water into one jug). Then 'i mixed fewer waters' or 'there are fewer waters in that glass' would be valid.

To be clear: I'm not the person you replied to, just someone who finds it quite interesting (in the same way that the plural fishes is valid if you're talking about different species of fish).

And yes, I know prescriptivism is bad, but also it is quite fun.

He has fewer brains than his opponent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Less brains because brain quantity isn't countable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

If you count down from one to none it is

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Um... (I'm making fun of his misuse of "less" referencing a countable quantity of lanes. But, thank you for the helpful tip anyway.)

The candidate for rich people who resent poor people.

That just means more cyclists on the roads.

That will just make people like him angrier. Good

love the no bullshit analysis naming the supporters specifically...

we should make politicians wear their sponsors on their suits like NASCAR drivers so folks know who they are allotting their tax money to lol

After reading the title and seeing the black abyss in the eyes of the great-value Voldemort wannabe, I was scared for a moment that someone who was so openly hostile towards the safety of cyclists could win an election. It brings me great relief to know that is not the case.

I wonder if they ever caught the frisbee thrower who whipped that L-brand disc at the lady's head just as the photo was taken.
