BETlordnowpsych:its bad sha... The police is nobody's friend, stay away from them, they are evil. You know that kinda sunny weather when you are tryna use your phone outdoor? When you have to raise the phone up to 'your head level', then shade the phone with your palm? I've been arrested and detained simply for doing the above. I asked why? And "kicks and punches fell on me." I later got to know they 'thought i was taking a picture of them'. Unbelievable! ⚡ BlaQ_Mayana |

We've collected our favorite sentences that look confusing and ridiculous but are technically accurate. 1. A ship-shipping ship ships shipping-ships. The above example contains three similar versions of the same word — a noun, adjective, and verb. The adjective, in this case, is actually a participle, "shipping," or a verb functioning as a modifier. A ship-shipping (compound participial adjective) ship (noun) ships (verb) shipping-ships (compound participial noun). Let's substitute "boat" for the noun and "transports" for the verb. The sentence then reads more clearly: A boat-shipping boat transports shipping-boats. 2. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Like the last example, this one contains three different versions of the word "buffalo" — the animal (a noun), the city (adjunct noun/adjective), and the action of bullying (verb). So the sentence really looks like this: Buffalo (the city) buffalo (the animal) [that] Buffalo (the city) buffalo (the animal) buffalo (verb) buffalo (verb) Buffalo (the city) buffalo (the animal). The meaning becomes much more clear when you substitute bison for the noun version of buffalo and the verb version with a synonym —"bully." We switched around the words and added a few for clarity, too. Bison from the city of Buffalo [that] [other] bison from the city of Buffalo bully [also] bully bison from the city of Buffalo. This lexical ambiguity can work for any word that has the same noun, noun adjunct (adjective), and verb form — like police. 3. Police police Police police police police Police police. Less known than Buffalo, Police is a city in Poland. Three different forms of the same word come into play above: law enforcement (the noun), the city (an adjunct noun/adjective), and the verb. Again, we'll use substitutions to clarify the meaning — "patrol" for the verb form and "law enforcement" for the noun. Law enforcement from Police [that] [other] law enforcement from Police patrol [also] patrol law enforcement from Police. 4. Can-can can-can can can can can can-can. For a fourth time, we have the same word with three different meanings: can-can, the dance; can, a verb meaning "able"; and can, a second verb meaning to put in the trash, or euphemistically to outperform. Can-can, the dance, that other can-can, the dance, are able to outperform are also able to outperform other examples of can-can, the dance. 5. Will, will Will will Will Will's will? Will (a person), will (future tense helping verb) Will (a second person) will (bequeath) [to] Will (a third person) Will's (the second person) will (a document)? Someone asked Will 1 directly if Will 2 plans to bequeath his own will, the document, to Will 3. 6. James, while John had had "had," had had "hadhad"; "hadhad" had had a better effect on the teacher. A story accompanies this example. Two students, James and John, were asked on an English test to describe a man who, in the past, had suffered from a cold. John wrote: "The man had a cold," which the teacher marked as incorrect. James, however, wrote: "The man had had a cold." Since James' answer was right, it had had a better effect on the teacher. A few word substitutions and brackets to identify clauses will make this more clear. James, [while John had written "had,"] had written "had had"; "had had" had left a better effect on the teacher. The double "had" — called past perfect tense — puts the action further back in time, suggesting that the man had had a cold but doesn't anymore. 7. Rose rose to put rose roes on her rows of roses. Now, this sentence deals with homophones, words that sound the same with different meaning. In this example, we have: *.Rose, a woman. *.rose, the verb meaning to get up. *.rose, the flower. *.rose, the color. *.roes, the fish eggs (in this case, used as fertilizer). *.rows, the lines. A woman named Rose got up to put rose-colored fish eggs on her rows of roses. 8. If it is it, it is it; if it is it is it, it is. This example has nothing to do with parts of speech or verb tense. Only massive substitutions can save us now. If A is B, then B is C; If the idea is [that] A is C, then the idea is [correct]. 9. That that exists exists in that that that that exists exists in. The various forms of "that" affect this example, too. We'll switch the demonstrative adjective "that" with "this" and the relative pronoun "that" with "which." And when we have two examples of the verb "exist" next to each other, we'll change the second to "occur." [The fact] that "that" exists occurs in a situation which this "that" exists [also] occurs in. Essentially, the two different versions of "that" in this sentence, exist in some situation simultaneously. Source: Business Insider #BlaQ_Mayana ⚡ |
[Lyrics] .:: Want To Fly - J. Cole ::. [Verse 1] Yeah, uh God is real and he using me for a bigger purpose So fuq the world that would have you think that a niqqa worthless Sometimes I think that these verses can help a person Way more than the ones they reading in churches On days of worship No disrespect to the Lord and Savior, that ain’t just ego I just observe that them words no longer relate to people Cause modern times be flooded with dollar signs And social media stunting, my niqqas just wanna shine Their frame of mind so far removed From the days and times of Nazareth Like these days is a labyrinth, in a maze so elaborate We barely get through half of it ‘fore it’s too late My niqqas is felons from selling weight In more than two states .22 in his waist before he could even shoot straight Quick to draw on you like Aaron McGruder, niqqa who fate? All of that to say maybe the hood need a new faith A new story about a boy from not too far where you stay [Hook/Chorus] Want you to fly, want you to fly, mhmm Want you to fly, want you to fly, here you go Want you to fly, want you to fly, mhmm Want you to fly, want you to fly, here you go Want you to fly, want you to fly, mhmm Want you to fly, want you to fly, here you go |

⚡ Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water, as the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly. The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore, at that point the frog decides to jump out, the frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature, very soon the frog dies. What killed the frog? "Many of us would say the boiling water but the truth is, what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out." We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to confront/face. There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action. If we allow people to exploit us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so. We have to decide when to jump. Let us jump while we still have the strength. Think on It!!! #COPIED #CLEANMIND |
