Is there a thread that I am missing with the event crew for next week? I saw the mega event announcement, but can't find next weeks crew....

If not let’s get this $H|T show started so I can start planning my next two weeks. So yes please, put the next two weeks up
The forums are almost always negative. Here’s a thought, why don’t we actually try the new reward system before judging it? I love the idea of being able to use 5* crew I’ve won from being ranked within the top 1000 in the previous event.
It will affect different playing styles different ways. Personally I am very opposed to it because though I play every event to one degree or another, I am truly only all out interested maybe once every 6 weeks. I don’t want other weeks affecting the one week I want to attack. Money wise or resource wise
Saying that you could care less means that you do actually care.... The correct term is, “I couldn’t care less” which implies that you do not care. It’s a common example of North American English making no sense.
Actually, whether you use "could" or "couldn't" is a regional thing. They're both intended to mean the same.
Idioms don’t care about logic
People might not have any thought of sarcasm, positive/negative phrase pairs, or implied comparison when they use “I could care less,” but when they use it, it’s as a set idiom, something they’ve heard before and learned as a unit. We have plenty of idioms that serve us perfectly well, despite the gaps in logic that appear if you look at them too closely. Consider “head over heels” (shouldn’t it be heels over head?) or “have your cake and eat it too?” (shouldn’t it be eat your cake and have it too?) or “the exception proves the rule” (shouldn’t it be the exception invalidates the rule?). There are reasons these idioms developed the way they did, but we don’t have to know anything about those reasons, or the original meanings, to use them perfectly sensibly. Same goes for “I could care less,” which people only ever use to mean “I couldn’t care less,” never the opposite. It doesn’t cause legitimate confusion, though it does cause quite a bit of consternation. In any case, it’s here to stay.
I usually roll my eyes at such things but I agree when it comes to grammar. I remember telling a fairly intelligent person to stop using the term irregardless because he is negating what he truly wants to say. It’s merely regardless. OMG look at the stuff we have to talk about out of boredom cuz the event info is late
I am firmly in the camp that the correct saying is "couldn't" as was the original saying and the logical meaning. Switching to could is a miss-use that drives me nuts like saying flush our instead of flesh out.
from online grammar site:
"Regardless of the reason people say they could care less, it is one of the more common language peeves because of its illogical nature. To say you could care less means you have a bit of caring left, which is not what the speakers seem to intend. The proper "couldn’t care less" is still the dominant form in print, but "could care less" has been steadily gaining ground since its appearance in the 1960s."
We may need to have a squad discussion about this one @KayJay47 :-)
To get back to my original question, then nothing has been posted.
Once upon a time I used to be a student of linguistics, but I'm actually not sure whether I remember enough of that to hold up my end of the discussion... And in any case I agree with you that "I couldn't care less" should be the preferred form.
I have people at work that literally text the word finna
Hey, Mr. Lincoln you have a rich history with my town. You were here to observe the construction of the I & M Canal, you funeral train passed through here, citizens lined the streets at 2:00 AM to lay their respects as it went by. I have a picture of Banjo standing on the very spot you stood as you visited Lockport. And also this one of you petting Banjo
Actually on Wednesday, we should get the Gloria (Guinan) stats. I don't think they plan on telling us anything today besides the event type (which we already happen to know) and bonus crew for the upcoming event
Oh Dirk, you ol' optimist, you!!!

When we all rally with pitchforks before they do something less then intelligent they barely listen.
Wait and see just gives them time to dig in.
"Well our matrix of catnip says that's not actually the case and you do like it, you just didn't realize, you're welcome". Lol
Or
"Well, now that it's implemented we can't reverse course, if you'd all said something before hand, maybe we could have stopped cyberdine .. but it's formed its own intelligence so.. taa taa ! (Waves)".
This used to be the company that talked with the player base. That card about what we thought and what we wanted to make this more fun. Now they just talk -at-us.
Quite a lengthy reply. The saying originated in England. I suspect an American heard it, said it wrong, and it caught on. The actual saying is, “I couldn’t care less”... educate the masses

I work with urban elementary students and I hear that all day...linguistic evolution can be very frustrating.
The meaning of this expression is to highlight that someone wants the impossible. They want to both have the cake and eat it at the same time. When the reality is that once it is eaten they can no longer have it
With that in mind the order of the words are pretty meaningless.
It means going to or will do
Ta. I hate not knowing what a word means. It's obviously not reached this side of the Pond yet. :-)
