Let's be honest, the teachings of Jesus aren't that great either.

The annoying thing is: if everyone did this, phantom traffic jams wouldn't be a thing, and even real road obstructions would have significantly less impact and we would all get where we want to go faster, collectively. But we won't, because I got mine.

Right, I get that it's not grammatically correct in that context, but the word itself is valid. I had always thought "learnt" was akin to "ain't", but that's not the case. Both "learned" and "learnt" are correct, but the latter is less commonly used in the US.

I've heard it used in a sentence like "When I was a boy, my daddy done learnt me a thing or two about fishin'". Which is why it's associated with southern slang, I think. That's my hypothesis anyway.

Like one of those old cassette tapes with a headphone cable when MP3 players first came out and cars didn't have adapters? Lol

Fun fact, related to this: learned and learnt are also both correct. I always assumed learnt was a redneck thing (I'm from the south), but it turns out the Brits use it too. Who knew?

What's crazy is, I'm pretty sure this is just hyperbole, but I also am not 100% sure it's not true.

Install gentoo. Then you'll be building the defaults for the rest of your life.

As an American, I think the moment I said "which one" when asked if I had heard about the mass shooting in wherever it was I can't even remember now, that was when I realized how fucked our gun policies are.
