The plural of you is yous or ye. In Ireland at least.

Well, he’s unreachable.
I listen to a lot of audiobooks too, but I wouldn’t listen to something like this.
Have you listened to the one OP posted? After a minute I’m sleeping. There’s no emotion, no tension, nothing.
I can’t stress enough how bad OP’s sounds. Sure, it sounds natural when compared to what technology was capable of some time ago, but it’s dead inside.
Good voice actors bring a book alive. This doesn’t.

Really? “Ethical” is your word of choice?
Thanks, that makes sense.
I was about to answer to the other poster that solar noon doesn’t change throughout the year. Why does it change 15 minutes? Does the earth wobble like the moon? It’s not related to leap years, is it?
That’s probably the ideal situation given that you’d never have to change your clock again. Well, except when traveling east or west. And setting up meetings would be a nightmare, like “let’s meet tomorrow at… eh, let me see… 4:13 for you Tom, 3:48 for you Sam, 7:24 for you Jane, oh, you have another meeting at 7:41… Ok, how about… Uhm…”
No thanks, that would mean it’s dark at 2pm here in December.
There’s only one way to get more sunlight during winter days: Move closer to the equator or, better yet, to the opposite hemisphere.
Maybe we should implement Morning Daylight Saving Time and Afternoon Daylight Saving Time, where we all change our clocks at 1 pm every day back to 12 noon, and then again at midnight we set them to 1 am.
Hmm. We could do even better: shift by 2 or 3 hours every day, and so we’d get that much more productivity out of our employees! Smithers, go tell everybody!
I can’t believe I have to explain this, but the key to 69 is that the two “people” are in opposite directions to reach other, not that the pair looks the same from either direction.
Nah, that’s not how 69 works
Still not seeing it, lol. I guess you mean it would be their 69, except that you need one to be the upside down version of the other…? I don’t know. Someone should write a research paper on this. :D
“XIX”… I’m not seeing it.

I don’t think you can simplify thousands of years of history to one comment.
You mean like what Trump supporters consume? And Fox, MSNBC, and all the other “news” outlets? How is that freedom working for the people in the land of the free?
There may be differences in the scale of bias and propaganda, but nobody should live under the illusion that they have access to unbiased news.
I’m always baffled by the prevalent idea that the Russian population is influenced by propaganda while in the west we aren’t. Truth is the first casualty of war, for all sides.
The same absurd thinking can be seen in political discussion. Each side is convinced the other side is deluded and lives in a bubble of fake news. Like their side isn’t.
Surprisingly, many Irish don’t know how to swim, even though it’s an island.
Yep. The day they kill old.reddit is the day I stop using it.
