His name was Derek. But he went by 'the Prophet' when times were good, or 'the Law Giver' when times were bad.

I moved onto his prayer farm with 45 other members of the Salvation Star Boys, who died in a mass suicide. But not me. 'Cause I don't like root beer. And I only drink what I like.

After it was all over, I called Lois to pick me up. She was mad. But she's what Derek calls an Oppressing Doubter.

May the light of Derek's Invincible Diamond shine through you.

He's a man of ACTION in the films, and not a man of giving fools a second chance.

Dumbledore in the books has my heart, but Dumbledore in the films has my sword

The movies also frames Dumbledore as a hard boiled unhinged detective who slams people against walls and shakes them down for information, whereas the book totally missed out on that great aspect of his personality. Swings and roundabouts

Yeah but the patterns that some of us train on might just be noise validated by our own biases

There is a certain level of arrogance with introverts in that they assume a lot of things about people without first engaging with them. I speak as one myself

There are actually more distinct meanings than I initially thought, but yeah most of them are prepositions

  • To work up (an appetite, an argument)
  • To work down (a screw, or something grinding)
  • To work for (prep: an employer, some hierarchy)
  • To work in (prep: an office, a space)
  • To work on (prep: a project)
  • To work with (prep: a person)

They'll do that anyway if the gym is successful. You ideally want a gym that's on the verge of collapsing but not backed by any VC

How very German of you.

I understand your point in the context of "switch on" and "switch off", but the base verb "work" doesn't have many separable prefix/suffixes.

To work in? To work on (same as work)? To work about (does that mean anything)?
