  • If you ever have (unfortunately) heard of his absolutely dogshit book, then his inability to understand deeper meanings, subtext, themes, and to grapple with a competent plot should not surprise you in the least. Robert Evans, Cody Johnston, and Katy Stoll read it through on Behind The Bastards in a few episodes. Imagine the novelization of a Steven Seagal movie adaption of a Jack Ryan plotline. Combine that with how ol Benny really wanted, and failed, to be a screenplay writer, and it makes sense his absolute hatred for modern Hollywood movies that don't say all the things he likes.

  • French military intervention incoming

  • Mississippi is absolutely the apartheid model you can expect Republicans to look to for guidance on expanding apartheid to every corner they control

  • B..bu.bbut FOX news told me climate change was just a myth to make me gay and drive electric.

  • The Supreme Court are at a point it is not possible to articulate anything about them without putting oneself in potential legal trouble

  • I was gonna say, if you gave this to someone with little tech skills you could make them believe it was Windows probably forever

  • While I'm not the largest fan of the windowslike style, Zorin looks impressively clean and sleek.

  • Yep agreed, the point was that people will tend towards the shorter "them" first, which may cause some initial confusion followed shortly with a "oh I meant them (singular)/ all of them". Again thats really the only real " issue if you can call it that even to using the singular "they"

  • For "you", I'm glad I speak a dialect/accent with " y'all" so I don't even run into that issue on the daily.

  • But that's the hiccup, point in case; you have to stop for probably just a split second to create the distinction of "they" versus "they all/they both/ both of them/all of them" with singular versus plural. Which again isn't hard, and people should just get used to it till it's not any longer.

  • I know, I'm speaking to the only potential use of a singular "they" actually being potentially "confusing", which I demonstrate is really minor. Supporting the point of the post and yours that there's no real serious issue anyone can have with the singular "they".

  • The only "issue" with singular they, and really its just more a clarification hiccup, is when you have a group that includes a person using they/them pronouns, it's a little clunky specifying you mean the individual rather than the full group and vice versa.

  • I've stuck with PopOS for a while but I may try it out

  • First time hearing of Endeavor. Looks clean AF.

  • I wonder if it ever crossed that Fox producers mind in those moments, that this was also her fault with helping run a network with the mission of denying and increasing climate change

  • Texas: no water and AC in the summer, no heat and electricity in the winter

  • I'd be lying if I said this didn't actually move me with that same sense of helpless anger and sense of loss. Really powerful writing.

    It is such a disappointment seeing the freedom and openness of the early promised internet turned to the personal rat cages and playpens of the rich, greedy, and powerful ... Just like everything else in the real world, unfortunately.

  • yeah I bet you do
