You wouldn't be alone if either party has women friends. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy in this post had no women friends , or only had women be wanted to fuck.
Passive voice often gets criticized as a weak and evasive form of expression. But it is useful for those instances when you want to emphasize the fact of an action having taken place rather than who performed the action. It is also helpful for instances when the doer of an action (also known as the agent) is unknown.

The passive voice gets called out on occasion as a tool for expressing the avoidance of responsibility, like when one says “Mistakes were made” rather than “We made some mistakes.” Sometimes, as in our Elm Street example, it is criticized for placing what appears to be a burden of responsibility on the person who receives the action (i.e., the victim) rather than the person who performs it.
Passive voice is for when the state does violence. Active voice is for when a protester does? Got it
I am continuously disappointed by my mainstream coworkers. They just don't know stuff from history, and they don't seem to care. They seem incurious. Not knowing stuff is fine- none of us know everything. But the lack of curiosity and willingness to engage is disappointing.
Like I mentioned the kent state massacre and they were like, blank stare, topic change.
Of course, they probably think I'm an insufferable killjoy because I keep talking about injustice and stuff. Can't we all just talk about the iphone?
And this implies she was just coincidentally hit and the police had no involvement in what could have been a fatal shooting. This kind of passive voice helps the villain.
That guy's probably drinking with his bros bragging about what he did. Maybe karma will catch up with him, but it seems like assholes are reigning supreme nowadays.
Just remember that good relationships never end in breakups.
lol what. I've had several relationships that were good, and then we broke up. We're still friends, but it became apparent that we were no longer good for each other as partners. People grow and change. That doesn't invalidate the time we spent together.
Rare to see a CEO saying something sensible I agree with.
I'd love to see labor organize so when management is like "come into the office" they can be like "no". Let management try to do anything by themselves. They can't. Labor has untapped power.
You have a lot of life ahead of you. The feelings will fade. Don't wallow. You'll be fine.
When I was a youth I had a lot of big feelings about relationships and crushes and friends. The feelings were real. They certainly took up a lot of space in my head, but they weren't really proportionate to what was happening. Everything felt big because it was new to me. I barely talk to anyone from that time in my life anymore. I live in a new city with new friends.
Apologies for the direct question, but how old are you?
In a couple months you'll find someone or something new and exciting, and laugh at how this felt like the end of the world. Just make sure you don't wallow in a pit of depression. Go out into the world. Do your hobbies. Find new hobbies.
Also, consider using more line breaks for readability.
Understanding the conservative mind means accepting "my group is good. when my group does something, it's good." That's it. Well, that and "whatever is good for me and mine right now is good".
There's no grand underlying theory or unifying thought. They're just assholes
There are good odds we'll get an iconic photo out of this, like the Kent State massacre. But I don't know if we're so post-truth that anyone would care.
Buying the CD has a key difference from Spotify in that no one can (typically) take the cd away from you. Music disappears from Spotify all the time. You can also (typically) copy it to other storage. And, most relevant to the topic of rent vs buy, you just pay for it once and you're done. No subscription, no ads. That stuff is important to me.
You can't usually take music you got from a CD and put it in your movie, for example, but that's a whole conversation about fair use and copyright.
It's possible to buy music, too, but most people rent it from spotify. Most people aren't going to do the comparably hard thing of setting up their own LLM.
And even if they did run their own well tuned, ethical, LLM to write letters for them, that still leaves us with the problem of "people aren't developing core skills like writing"
Do not use a belt to stop blood flow. Get some proper tournequtes (I don’t remember how to spell it). Slide it on, and turn it until the bleed stops. If you think it’s too tight, turn it some more.
If you're worried about blood loss, there are some online resources for how to do first aid. I think https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/ was recommended last time this came up.
I read you need to be careful with tourniquets, because they're quite painful and if used inappropriately can cause long term damage. Used appropriately they can save a life, but you don't want them to be the first tool you reach for.
Someone pointed out that capitalism loves subscriptions and rentals. They can sell you a widget, sure, but then they only get money once. If they can rent you a widget, then they get money forever.
AI is a path for rent skills to people. You don't need to learn to write python or learn Spanish. Just pay for LLM access. Rent the skill.
It is extremely dystopian.
Unfortunately, most people don't care about much of anything. You could tell them, with undeniable proof, that every AI search kills a puppy, and most people would be like "well puppies die anyway and I always use Google, so..."

Also the bisexual erasure is pretty thick here.
