I think you’re both right, but this is a great reason for ISO8601. This weekend is the weekend in the current week. In most of the world it’s Monday-Sunday which makes this way clearer, in which case he would have said “next weekend” and you would be completely correct, but if you’re in a country that starts on a Sunday then “this weekend” is two things. Sunday and Saturday, with 5 days in between. Since you were already in part of the two parter you could only be referring to the next part, the upcoming Saturday, part of this week.

This doesn’t make sense from a linguistics standpoint though. So next Thursday is the Thursday this week, but next week isn’t this week, it’s the week after this one. So what’s the Thursday in that week, the next next Thursday? It just doesn’t work.

Anything in this week (Sunday-Saturday or Monday-Sunday) even stuff from a few days ago -> this <day of the week>.

Anything from last week -> last <dotw>

Anything in next week -> next <dotw>

It’s incredibly simple and it’s logically consistent and it works in every situation unless you are talking to someone from a different country that uses a different starting day. And even then it works the majority of the time.

If next was the next occurrence of the day you’d be saying “next Wednesday on a Tuesday” and be talking about tomorrow, which is frankly ludicrous. I’ve also never heard anyone use a rolling week for “this” and this is such a funny conversation to come up because I literally had this confusion last Sunday (not this previous Sunday, as in yesterday, also note that this lines up well with using “last week”), because I was talking with several Venezuelans, a Chilean, a Mexican, and a Salvadoran, along with some Americans and this exact confusion came up but not because it was a rolling week, or because next means the next occurrence, but because they considered the week to start on Monday, not Sunday. So “this Thursday” meant the previous Thursday, since it was part of that week. Next Thursday meant the coming Thursday (the part of the next week).

I mention the nationalities because it’s pretty uncommon to start a week on a Sunday like Americans do.

Weirdly I looked it up and the internet says those countries start their weeks on Monday but that sure wasn’t what the people I talked to thought. 🤷

The rule makes perfect sense (and is how I’ve always used it), but this article actually misses a major point which I just learned last week when talking to some native Spanish speakers. In most English speaking countries, the week starts on Sunday. This isn’t the case for many, many other countries though. So saying “this Friday” on a Sunday really really confuses people. That’s exactly what happened to me last week because it was a Sunday and we were talking about a Friday and she got very very confused.

Context matters. Turns out when you tell stories you kinda have to read the whole thing rather than just snippets.

You can make that 6/7 (my wife and I).

I do think it’s a bad idea. I’ve heard of too many people finding out after they get married that they are completely sexually incompatible. It’s very hard to get past that.

But waiting a long time in the relationship to have sex is probably a very good idea. It can be one of the last few boundaries.

Wait is the cat with nine lives trope an American thing???

That’s very funny cause I’m watching jack and z8 right now. I do wonder if it’s above a certain rate though. He should make a video that tells people born in the first half of the year to upvote and the second half to downvote. See what happens then. Or first three months, last 9 etc.

No Arch!? Bah. We need a new mod already!

Just kidding. Good luck at modding!

Just an fyi that would exclude Oglaf since I would say it’s very hard to say it’s just lewd and not full on porn for a lot of it.

There’s a lot of content that’s just on nebula not YouTube, but it’s mostly long form stuff. There’s a whole section at the top titled “Only on Nebula”.

Don’t click dislike, it does nothing except promote the channel.

They updated it after

they’re using it wrong. They’re going upwards with it when bloodline is a line of descent. So your parents are not in your bloodline, but of course that’s not what we were talking about since they directly said “Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood.” Since they’re including grandparents to infinity, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline. You can read my comment for more…

"all the members of a family group of people or animals over a period of time, especially when considering their shared family characteristics: " - cambridge

“(usually of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain.” (what you’re talking about, but you’re reading it the wrong direction) or " all the members of a family group over generations, esp regarding characteristics common to that group; pedigree" - dictionary.com

“A person’s bloodline is their ancestors over many generations, and the characteristics they are believed to have inherited from these ancestors. You can also use bloodline to refer to the ancestors of animals such as racehorses.” - Collins

“1. (usu. of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain.” “2. ancestry; family.” - Random House Kernerman Webster’s College Dictionary

“One’s ancestors or their character or one’s ancestral derivation:” - The American Heritage® Roget’s Thesaurus

“the descendants of one individual; “his entire lineage has been warriors”” - WordNet 3.0

The problem here comes from the fact that you are reading your definition and going upwards, rather than starting at the top and going downwards. Line of descent goes downwards. It’s literally in the definition you gave. So even your parents aren’t in your line of descent, because that’s going up. But if you are talking about a bloodline from your grandparents then yes, you and your uncle are in that bloodline. cause that’s what line of descent is.

so no… “Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood.” is incorrect. If you are counting mother and father and their mothers and fathers all the way back then yes, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline.

I can’t find any definition that says that. Where are you finding that definition. Bloodline is relatives by blood, uncles are relatives by blood, hence why uncles could gain the throne in any bloodline inheritance society.

The solution in the title is a good way to get a yeast infection.

Pedo

Huh? In what way aren’t they part of your bloodline? Unless you’re talking about uncles that are married into the family, but otherwise they’re literally blood relatives.
