The quick and dirty way to check your usage is to replace "who" with "he" and "whom" with "him." If it makes a functional sentence, you're probably right.

"Whom is quicker?" becomes "Him is quicker." Not good.

"Who is quicker?" becomes "He is quicker." That works.

By contrast: "This graffiti was done by whom?" becomes "This graffiti was done by him."

We just need to go full Harrison Bergeron with all sports/athletes and never talk about this shit again.

Same. Mine didn't even give me the courtesy auto-reply.

Isn't that because Utah has weird laws about how many drinks you're allowed to order? I seem to remember hearing that bar patrons are only allowed to get one drink at a time, so bars just started getting bigger mugs.

still live in a state thats good

The pipeline of regulation usually goes California Law -> New York Law -> Federal Law because once companies have to do something for two of the biggest states, they start lobbying the Feds so they can standardize. California already passed their law, and NY's is in committee right now.

Yes, but it's because of subsidies. Your taxes pay for healthcare; our taxes pay for fuel. Which we also then pay for.

OP didn't back up their assertion with data. They don't see kids; I do see kids. It's all anecdotal.

Quick searching shows a CDC survey from 2017 estimating that a little over 15% of American kids walk to school. More recent data would require more time to find than I have right now, but even if it's as low as 1 in 10 now, that's still not nothing.

Kids don't walk to school anymore

What am I passing when I drive home every afternoon? Geese?

Especially since she still has a job with the administration. They created a new position just for her: "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas." We'll see what that ends up being, but I predict nothing good.

It literally stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller but is used colloquially for any people considered sub-human or monstrous because of their negative/predatory attitudes toward other people.

How old? Because C.H.U.D. came out forty years ago.

A chud is a vicious sub-human monster.

As a genre, I have felt overwhelmed and disinterested by the constant stream of releases for a decade now. Too much of it is middling-to-bad.

As individual games, I've been playing DS2, DS3, or Elden Ring at least once a week since 2014.
