Yeah I was pretty taken aback when someone first told me about this. She got mad that I ended a text with a period. I was like “what, that’s just proper punctuation.” And then she got even madder because she thought I was being a grammar snob. I was so fucking confused.

Later she said that it’s like saying “period.” at the end of a sentence, and accused me of knowing that and only pretending not to. But like, if I wanted to sentence to read “period” at the end, I would have typed the word “period.”

I got really insecure and hypervigilant about ending texts with periods after that. It took me years to get over that and even now I still get anxious about sending texts with periods in them…

Shart of the deal!

“The fuck, is this shit?”

“The fuck is this, shit?”

Sometimes, thought doesn’t have to be original. Sometimes, when something rings true, many people have the same thought, and can talk about it and agree with people who share the same thought and that isn’t an issue.

For the senate to convict an impeached president requires a ⅔ supermajority.

Like hopefully this election will break the trifecta and maybe even return both chambers of congress to the Dems, but a senate supermajority would basically require a miracle.

“But officer, I thought you had nothing to hide?”

This is the first I’m hearing about it. There was a NoKings protest yesterday?

It’s possible to respect human rights while not tolerating abuse. Fascists should be sent through the courts to receive consequences according to the rule of law.

That’s perfectly in accordance with human rights, and fascists can still be put away.

What the other user is saying is that if you throw out the concept of human rights when it comes to your enemies, then you’re throwing out the concept of human rights as a universal, and therefore your enemies can do the same thing when it comes to you.

Not a smart move, especially for the underdogs. You’re essentially “becoming the monster you sought to destroy” while your head is still inside the jaws of that monster. You’re not going to scare it into letting go, you’re only going to push it to clamp down harder.

Well yeah, obviously bullies only bully the nerds because the Anti-Bully Club is so anti-bully. If the Anti-Bully Club just disbands instead of defending nerds, then the bullies will have no reason to keep bullying the nerds! Duhhh! (/s)

Now that you mention it, I’ve never seen them in the same room together…

Hamsters for one. Opae Ula, Wallsted Method, ecosphere, other sort of niche hobbyist/petcare topics

tRump being buddies with Xi Jinping is the ultimate example of maga shaking hands with tankies.

I so hope they posted this in the reviews

Just in time for the big tech AI companies’ bills to come due to their investors. Excellent… taps fingertips together

I think they get promoted to management because they’re bad.

They’re not going to promote the guy who knows what he’s doing, because they need him to keep working in his current role. The guy who slacks off, bosses people around, and gets chummy with the boss though? Perfect candidate for promotion.

“And why did you leave your last job?”

“The company went bankrupt due to severe mismanagement.”

“How did you get your management position at that company?”

“My dad was rich.”

“You’re hired.”

So port it to luanti

“Yeah but that’s just an anecdote bro”

Then people there could say “That’s not what it’s like here at all” and suddenly propaganda debunked.

.mls absolutely depend on the epistemic bubble to create a void of knowledge that they can fill with their BS. Anything that says anything bad about the PRC is “western propaganda.” All their sources are PRC propaganda, but since it’s non-western they claim that makes it valid.
