So "logging off" is what you call this....

I never said that everyone called riots "uprisings'.
Stop trying to win some silly imagined victory, Fido.

I object to the Stonewall Riots being reclassified as an uprising. One, because it's silly semantics and bizarre language changes, but also and especially they were riots. Personally, I think it's more hopeful thinking that people just entirely forget such repressed minorities don't get the **** to stop unless they get violent. Instead we'll keep pretending Dr. King was a paragon of peaceful protests and India gained independence 100% through Gandhi's non-violence, so we can now downplay the facts the queers rioted and did physically fight against the police. It was a riot.

"omni" is such as useful word prefix: omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and omnivore.

Deadpool is omnisexual.

From Merriam Webster...
The adjective "omnibus" may not have much to do with public transportation, but the noun "omnibus" certainly does - it not only means "bus,"but it's also the word English speakers shortened to form "bus." The noun "omnibus" originated in the 1820s as a French word for long, horse-drawn vehicles that transported people along the main thoroughfares of Paris. Shortly thereafter, omnibuses - and the noun "omnibus" - arrived in New York. But in Latin, "omnibus" simply means "for all." Our adjective "omnibus," which arrived in the mid-1800s, seems to hark back to that Latin omnibus, though it may also have been at least partially influenced by the English noun. An "omnibus bill" containing numerous provisions, for example, could be likened to a bus loaded with people.

A real grammar pedant would use the OED.

I used to think Ned was an right guy, but getting away from people like him has made realize he's a religious ******* bearing tons of religious judgement that's covered up with a facade of being a good Christian.

Oxford English Dictionary.
It's harder to point to the shortcomings of using a dictionary for certain things when using that because it provides so much more than the other, and vastly inferior, dictionaries (though I still wouldn't use it for philosophy, economics, or anything else when a word is more a larger concept than mere word).

I know....so many people want to use different definitions
from those found in dictionaries. Scurrying to impenetrable
tomes allows any word to mean anything. Even "is" has
been challenged.

Yup. That was my old norm. Except the yay part because what I had would have been a lecture about us going to Hell for witchcraft, and your gonna burn, because god is mad, and your filth in his eyes and deserving eternal damnation.

Yup. And I am glad that apparently my renouncing him publicly was doing my part as to help set up.a trend that would cause a rift that led many millenials and apparently also many Zs away from that god.
And I have to say, the article I read pointing that out, that teens and young adults leaving evangelism about 20 years ago beginning a trend of millennials leaving it as well, it's the best article I've ever read, because I can say when I began to claim my life I kicked god in the shin while wearing an ice skate and he's never quite been the same since.
