I wouldn’t take anything for granite.

I’m optimistic but trying to be ready for the worst, because the worst happens way too often these days.

"Take for granted" is the expression, granted being something that does not need to be proved, to the extent it is a point given freely in a discussion or debate.

Could be...unfortunately in these uncertain times on the internet it's anyone's guess.

That's not a very gneiss thing to say.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah well I'm not taking any schist.
