It’s pocket watching complaining about how other people spend their money. I don’t know why people don’t seem to understand that. You cannot have an opinion on someone else’s finances if you do not directly impact their finances.

@October_Blue_2 I think they should start from window to aisle. Because the people in the back still take forever to get to their seats and then you’ll have people in the back who board but they’re in aisle seats only to have to move when the window seat comes.

@fizzaroti Using words that you don’t know and then arguing with the people who are telling you that that’s not the proper definition is not learning. If you were learning, which is something that can’t be taught because they don’t teach African-American vernacular English in school.

@123itsmeMary Unfortunately that's how learning languages works, I've done this many times as someone learning Spanish and have had to be corrected on it. Obviously people should be careful not to say anything offensive but it does happen eso if you're learning on your own

People admitting they use words they don't understand is deeply troubling. Even if you remove the AAvE context....why are you using words YOU DON'T KNOW?????? That's literally functional illiteracy 😭

I would never think about that but also I don’t invite people to my house so maybe that’s why this conversation isn’t something that’ll ever happen in my real life. I don’t want you in my house and I’m not bringing my dog to you.

My contribution to the dog discourse is that it's rude to ask a dogless person if you can bring your dog to their home. They know what dogs are. If they wanted a dog in their home, they would own a dog. They don't own a dog because they don't want a dog in their home.

NEW: British soldiers are being exposed for fathering children in Kenya and leaving them behind, thanks to commercial DNA databases. Children, many with lighter skin color, born near a British military base in Kenya, are now receiving answers about their fathers. "Nothing like this has ever been done before, where you're engaging DNA testing on such a scale" in the UK courts, said UK lawyer James Netto, according to BBC. There are currently about 100 documented cases of children being born near the British Army Training Unit in Kenya to British soldiers, but Netto believes there are many more. If a case is confirmed, the children will be able to register for British citizenship in most cases. Children under 18 will be eligible for child support.

In 1986, a five-year-old boy in India fell asleep on a bench at a train station while waiting for his older brother to come back. His brother never returned. The boy wandered onto an empty train carriage, thinking his brother might be inside. He fell asleep again. When he woke up, the doors were locked and the train was moving. It didn’t stop for nearly two days. When it finally did, he was in Kolkata, nearly 1,500 kilometres from home. He was too young to know his surname, couldn’t read, and had no idea what his hometown was called. He survived alone on the streets for weeks, sleeping under station benches and scavenging scraps of food, before eventually being taken to an orphanage and declared a lost child. No one could trace where he came from. He was adopted by a couple from Tasmania, Australia, who gave him a loving home and a new life. His name became Saroo Brierley. He grew up on the other side of the world. But he never forgot. He held onto fragments: the image of a bridge near a train station, a water tower, a neighbourhood layout, the faces of his family. In his mid-twenties, he discovered Google Earth. He calculated the rough distance the train could have covered based on how long he remembered being on it, drew a circle on a map around Kolkata, and began searching along every railway line within that radius. Some weeks he spent 30 hours scanning satellite images of towns across central India, looking for landmarks that matched his childhood memories. His family in Australia didn’t even know. They thought he was just browsing the internet. In 2011, after years of searching, he found it. A water tower. A bridge. A ravine past a station. It was a neighbourhood called Ganesh Talai in the city of Khandwa. He zoomed in and recognised the streets he had walked as a small boy. He flew to India and walked through the town until he found his family’s home. The door was chained shut and he feared the worst. Then people came out. One of them led him to a woman down the road. It was his mother. She had never stopped looking for him. After 25 years, they were standing in front of each other. What he didn’t know until that moment was that his brother Guddu, the one he’d been waiting for at the station that night, had been struck and killed by a train. His mother had spent 25 years searching for both sons. She learned what happened to one. She never stopped praying for the other. His story became the book “A Long Way Home” and was adapted into the film “Lion,” which received six Academy Award nominations.
