Maybe they couldn't trick the agent into signing up to Amazon Prime.

Wood pigeon s don't say "my toe bleeds Be-tty". They say "I know I'm pretty". That's according to Chris Packham so it's true.

"Who are the noisy people outside?"

"They are some vendors" seems natural to me, suggesting that the group of vendors is known to the person answering.

This sounds to me like something a native french speaker would say in english. I feel like most english speakers would respond, “They are vendors,” “Just some vendors,” “It’s some vendors,” or even just “Vendors,” but not “They are some vendors.”

On the internet nobody knows you're a human.

The trajectory of disagreement online.

2009: I disagree. You're a troll.

Yes that and and Math problems don't pay the rent.

“I have found the image of a spiral really useful, in terms of how to make sense of the fact that our era is both familiar and different,” Klein says. “The thing about a spiral is that you’re going round, but you’re not going to the same place. If the spiral is pointing down, it’s deeper, it’s tighter, it’s carrying more velocity, it’s carrying more force, it’s carrying more heat, it’s carrying more violence.”

What do you think this means?

it means what she explains it means in the article

...which is to say that the current social condition belongs to the tail end of a continuum, the trajectory of which is less important to comprehend than the so-called "jetztzeit" is, which is supposedly incomprehensible itself?
