    This morning, I’m off to groom the goats and gather fresh eggs from the geese. The greenhouse needs tending too, with its gourds and guava plants.

    After that, I’ll glide on my skateboard along the gritty pavement, feeling the cool gusts. For lunch, perhaps a grilled cheese sandwich with gouda, and a glass of grapefruit juice.

    In the afternoon, a game of golf awaits, grueling yet galvanizing. And as dusk falls, I’ll gaze at the glimmering stars, grasping the grandeur of the galaxy.

    Then I’ll grab my guitar, gleefully strumming glorious melodies.

    Next, I’ll gear up for gaming, getting into go-kart racing and guild quests. Great for unwinding and igniting gusto.

    Then, on to grub: guacamole with garlic, garnished with green onions, alongside golden tortilla chips, goulash, gumbo, gazpacho, gravy, granola, gorgonzola, and graham crackers. A gourmet, gratifying snack.

    Later, I’ll grab my gardening guide, to gain groundbreaking insights on growing gardenias. Guiding the creation of a grand, lush grove is very gratifying.

    Before bed, a glance at tomorrow’s goals: glazing pottery, a new, gripping hobby.

    Does this give a good glimpse into my day?



  • When using “queue” or “cue,” the context is crucial for deciding which word is appropriate. The word “cue” refers to a signal for action, especially in theater, to prompt someone to do something. It’s been used in this sense since the 1500s. On the other hand, “queue” generally refers to a line or sequence of people or things waiting their turn. This meaning originated in the 1800s.

    In the context of this debate:

    1. Cue: When saying “Cue Mitch Hedberg,” the word “cue” is being used correctly. It’s like saying, “Now enter Mitch Hedberg,” or “Prompt the appearance or mention of Mitch Hedberg.” It’s a signal for something specific to happen or appear, especially in a performance or presentation context.

    2. Queue: The argument for “queue” seems to be based on the YouTube context, where videos are lined up to play one after the other, hence the term “play queue.” While it’s true that watching a video on YouTube involves adding it to a play queue, the term “queue” in the sense of “Queue Mitch Hedberg” would imply adding him to a waiting list or sequence, which isn’t the intended meaning here.

     

    And actually as far as I can see, there isn’t actually a play queue when you just click on a single video. So if the original commenter was truly trying to say “add Mitch Hedberg to your queue of videos”, fine. However, I have strong doubts about that being what they meant.










  • While it’s true that cats may not have agency in the human sense—planning for the distant future or contemplating their existence—they do exhibit a form of agency within their capabilities. Cats make choices about their actions, like where to sleep or when to hunt, showing preferences and intentionality. They respond to their environments in complex ways, indicating a level of autonomous decision-making. So while their agency might be different from ours, it’s not accurate to say they have none at all.
