How quaint, he's from the old days when the US wasn't run like a mob operation.

They’re describing our president, who is charmed by the quaint and distant concept of “groceries,” but has never had to shop for a single quart of milk.

Juxtaposed against the current President's behavior this seems old-timey and quaint.

No they might get an endorsement deal from Telsa, Facebook, or Amazon.

It’s a place that gives employment, a place to meet, and often celebrate.

If the government treat rural communities as a quaint thing of the past that’s what they’ll become rather than great places to live, work and raise a family.

Plus a picture of my dog in the pub for context! 🐾🍻

Whatever happened to law enforcement? That was so quaint.

Although a quaint concept these days, I learned as a child that there are consequences for the choices you make.
Choose carefully.

Whenever I've tried to explain this quaint name origin I'm met with disbelief & 'you're making that up'. 🙂

The rule of law now just a quaint and old fashioned notion from yesteryear.

Susan Collins rarely voted against 🍊80. Now she’s criticizing all sorts of the 🍊administration’s missteps.

Must be election time.
Remember when she said she was only going to stay in office one term?
How quaint.
The lifestyle sucks one in. The perks are too generous. The dark donations addictive.

Ok but alternatively, I just went around to a new home show type thing and aside from a lot of, lets just say non-cohesive design choices, hardly any of the houses accounted for computer space? But "oh here's a quaint desk for a small notepad and a bowl of porridge" and "here's a 3rd whiskey bar"

Soooo, they want us to be like Islamic Iran???? How quaint.

Randomly remembered that the fairy AoE grooming ability allowed you to give wings to the children in the special event area when it was first released. It was even part of the advertising 😆. For science, Momo and I toured different areas to try wing-ing NPCs (especially children 🧐), but nothing 😂

One. Hundred. Percent. (The entire thread.)

We can augment an “agent” with *deterministic scripts*? How quaint. Meanwhile, the rest of it remains a glorified pachinko machine. (My apologies to pachinko machine manufacturers.)
Always worth reading the fine print. e.g., people citing a "study" done by someone at ThoughtWorks that concluded that asking agents to do TDD produced no discernible benefit.

If you read the blog post, they actually failed to get the agent to follow the TDD discipline. Not the same thing.

The British press have long reported on marches and beacons as if they were quaint folk traditions like cheese rolling or morris dancing. This reflects British indifference to Northern Ireland, but also I think creates it. In England especially there is so little understanding of sectarianism
Disgraceful to hear the dignified people of Garvaghy Road described as a ‘mob’ - they are standing up for themselves as a community and I am sure would prefer to be getting on with their lives.

In short, what this really sounds like is a Hallmark Christmas movie combining "moving back to your quaint hometown for love not residency requirements," "saving the downtown for a cuter backdrop," "neo-Brady Bunch, Koch scion edition," "but my heart is in Wichita"...there's so much to work with.

A quaint street scene captures people walking along cobblestone pavement lined with charming buildings, adorned with flowers and a traditional red telephone box.

Ethics? How quaint. That's so last century.

It's beginning to make Glasgow Rangers stiffing a face-painter for £40 look quaint.

I was pondering on that yesterday whilst remembering an early form of "meta-glasses." Whilst this is an advert from the US the English ones mentioned quaint things like "postal orders" and "allow 28 days for delivery" 😂

I am ungenerous enough to already be assuming some quaint family history
