This community has been very cool about spelling, grammar, and typos
  • I love writing and I get great joy from well written work, and if I find typos or errors in a book I'm very put off by them.

    This, on the other hand, is a shitposting website. Anyone who shows linguistic pretentiousness while being one click away from fucking PPB is a nerd and should be bullied. Also not everyone's first language is English and not everyone has had the opportunity to study it to the same level.

    First rule of knowing something: it doesn't make you better than people who don't!

    Also language is flexible and constantly evolving. If the listener understands the speaker, the language was correct.

    (anyone watch Simon Roper's videos on YouTube? Dude studies linguistics of English from all periods of history, but he's so chill about it)

  • My ma is a fundamentalist Christian Zionist and it drives me up a wall
  • Yeah sounds familiar. Some of the talking points that come out I'm like, where did you get this from? It's wild to me how faithfully people will parrot a talking point from somewhere else without doing any investigation at all. I ask her why she thinks idf-cool is so vehemently hated by its neighbor countries and she's like, "um, I dunno."

  • My ma is a fundamentalist Christian Zionist and it drives me up a wall

    That's the post. Interacting with this person boils my blood and her comments about Gaza take years off my life.

    The holidays are so fraught for me bc they always bring me into contact with people like this. If it wasn't for other family around that I actually like I would just cut this whole thing short now.

    Hope y'all have better parents than mine !rage-cry

    Shit I just spent an hour yelling at my FIL for being bourgeoisie
  • Yeah, I didn't tell the whole story but it was warranted. I never apologized for believing what I do, I was just straight up wrong about my interpretation of theory and praxis, and when I realized that later it felt appropriate.

    Other than that tho, man I just can't help myself. When people speak or act disdainfully towards classes they perceived as "below" them, I just get so fucking angry about it and can't let it go.

  • Shit I just spent an hour yelling at my FIL for being bourgeoisie
  • Aw man, been down this road with the parent of a loved one, my username matched the occasion. I ended up apologizing lol.

    Not out of libness but because I was just straight up wrong on my interpretation of theory and what praxis would look like. My apology was not a correction but just like a "shouldn't have said you were part of the problem when I didn't know enough about what I was talking about, AND I was a dick about it."

    My own parents tho? big-honk

  • How are you today?

    What's something nice that's happened for you recently?

    I spent some time with a baby family member and the visit was a lot like this: !meow-melt
