I’m not a mod.

2. Be nice.

I know who I am.

Whatever your existing dynamic with this coworker is, keep it the same. More than enough people are going to be backing away because they don’t want to do “the wrong thing,” or getting unnecessarily closer because they want to “be supportive.” Those are both just extra changes she’ll have to deal with along with the loss of her mother.

Offer stability. You can even explain this out loud to her directly.

tl;dr: Dissolution of Parliament in the UK happens either at the end of a five year term, or when the Prime Minister initiates it. In the latter case, the PM “requests” that the Monarch authorizes a proclamation to dissolve Parliament.

The King can’t unilaterally dissolve Parliament.

Tell me that you don’t know how constitutional monarchy works without saying you don’t know how constitutional monarchy works.

“Proud black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,”

This sounds like a caricature.

I learned a tiny bit of ASL in college from hanging out with a few deaf people, then some more when we had kids and bought a bunch of kids’ sign language DVDs. Little kids are able to do some signing earlier than they’re able to manage speech, and I know that helped our kids to communicate when they were super young.

(You know all this, but I felt like saying it for the passers-by.) I know that a mistake hearing people often make is thinking that sign language is just a word-for-word substitution for whatever spoken language is primary where you live. It’s really a different language, grammar and all, definitely including those “combination” signs you’re talking about.

I seem to recall that there are rhymes in ASL, where signs for two things have similar motions/shapes/speeds.

That’s why Carter went to his rest. Too old to play with Lego.

But you can dissolve your victims in the first one.

“What’s a banana?”

The longer the cable, the thicker (heavier gauge) it needs to be to carry the same current without burning up. One extension cord is rated to carry the current it alone is able to carry. Put two of those in series, and both of them together are able to carry less current than either one by itself. This is how fires start.

That’s absolutely not the long term effect of voting for the lesser evil.

That’s the effect of more people voting for the greater evil.
