Without the public option, Obamacare pretty much just cemented insurance corporations into our society. Any other little things that came along with it have since been gutted by Republicans over the years. The only part that survived was the heritage foundation plan (the people who wrote the fascist project 2025 takeover handbook)

The new one has an airlock style containment [although still comicly large]. Not that it prevents everything from going to shit anyway.

If you used any other pronoun other than “they” it would be is and faces

The student also faces charges. S/He faces charges. They face charges. - this is only because we’re conditioned based on they being plural.

Imagine the people who jumped down my throat because they kneejerk assumed I was dead naming, use that very things they attacked me over as their go to insult.

And in a manner I cannot even see.

Pick a lane.

I love the straw man interpretations everyone is pulling out of their assholes to try to justify their insane kneejerk reaction to someone using a singular verb to refer to a singular individual (and not an unspecified number of individuals).

I know reading is hard, but me saying he’s not 6’2" doesn’t automatically mean I’m arguing he’s the shortest. Wtf. How has education failed so many people that this is how they interpret text?

Based on … What exactly? Your gut feelings?

Hey dummy. I never said “they is” is wrong.

I’m the one arguing for that use. EVERYONE ELSE here decided to shit on me for it. So many people here wanting to argue about grammar that can’t even fucking comprehend what they read.

Where did I hurt anyone? You’re assigning shit to a vague statement on grammar that I never said it implied. Hair triggers the lot of you.

You’re not good at actually responding to what someone said, are you? Just complete nonsequiturs from you. At this point complaining about down votes gets you more down votes.

Why does no one in this topic under the difference between second and third person? The rules are not the same between these, stop acting like this is a gotcha, you’re just proving your own ignorance on the topic.

In his lifts, maybe

What arcane English rule?

Your rebuttal to my issue with the third person handling of a singular they, was you using the second person…as if that was related. Do you still not understand the difference? It’s not that I didn’t understand you, you were just wrong to use it as a counter example to what I said. Damn, you doubled down by showing how poor your comprehension skills are.

And you think you have me figured out as a terrible person because I pointed out, in just 3 words, a grammatical inconsistency. Real quick to jump to judgement there.

Cleaopatra is clearly refencing a plural group.

And “Anyone” as a noun is an undetermined number and is often treated as plural. All of these are referencing an ambiguous potential-group, not a context-explicit singular individual.

People miss it because the sheer amount of extra crap that stores put in checkout lines had trained us to stop trying to read everything while we’re there. Also we’re watching for the total, not reading the text NOT on the screen

Some states have been looking into allowing you to pay your taxes with crypto, so checkmate atheists.

… Cool? I was more pointing out the issues with the assumptions the meme was making

You’re not understanding context.

No one has disagreed with your height. Not sure how you managed to misinterpret that.

Again, second person vs third person.

It would seem jakr is not smart one.

You are not the smart one.

Fail.

Second person vs third person, dummy. If you’re going to insult someone’s intelligence, at least be right about it.

Nope, that’s actually correct. You may need to re-attend grade school
