You’re right, and I don’t want you to feel like no-one agrees with you.

I think you’re missing the point of the original comment. Describing modern conservatism as a disability at once absolves conservatives of their responsibility not to hold abhorrent views, by classing it as a characteristic they have no control over, and lumps people with disabilities into a group that, in a non-insignificant number of cases, wants them dead or sterilised.

That’s why the commenter was upset with you; not because you’ve criticised eugenics, but because you’ve been massively insensitive, and when someone pointed out that insensitivity you became defensive and attacked them in return.

Looks ai generated, so not too surprised it’s wrong

Eh, you wouldn’t use the noun water to refer to atoms of water. ‘How many waters are there?’ to refer to atoms of water is the statement of someone deranged

Depends on if you’re using water to include types of water (if, like a maniacal madman, you have mixed Evian, Buxton and Harrogate mineral water into one jug). Then ‘i mixed fewer waters’ or ‘there are fewer waters in that glass’ would be valid.

To be clear: I’m not the person you replied to, just someone who finds it quite interesting (in the same way that the plural fishes is valid if you’re talking about different species of fish).

And yes, I know prescriptivism is bad, but also it is quite fun.

So cool to see specific mushrooms in art – that’s a shaggy inkcap (which I now see the Latin name down the bottom). Really cool mushroom. Goes well fried or in soup, but needs to be eaten immediately after picking, else it turns to inky mush (and ends up looking like her umbrella)

Yeah, these kind of posts always feel kinda mean if it’s not him that’s put that caption.

People who aren’t conventionally attractive are allowed to have a sense of style and wear fun clothes too.

Everett True wouldn’t put up with this shit

It’s also just commonly done in UK newspapers. Age and familial status is always given. Terry Pratchett made a joke about it in one of his books, though I can’t remember the quote.

Edit: found one (not exactly the gag I wanted but CBA to look further)

‘Exc–’ he began. But the citizen’s eyes had already detected the notebook. ‘I saw it all,’ he said. ‘Did you?’ ‘It was a ter-ri-ble scene,’ said the man, at dictation speed. ‘But the watch-man made a deathdefying plunge to res-cue the old lady and he de-serves a med-al.’ ‘Really?’ said William, scribbling fast. ‘And you are–’ ‘Sa-muel Arblaster (43), stonemason, of The Scours,’ said the man. ‘I saw it too,’ said a woman next to him, urgently. ‘Mrs Florrie Perry, blonde mother of three, from Dolly Sisters. It was a scene of car-nage.’

huh. Google says American cider is just unfiltered apple juice

I stand by what I said though: hot mulled (alcoholic) cider is great

Him is the guy in the post – Tim Walz

Some plants the flowers are very pretty, but the whole plant isn’t practical to be kept indoors (e.g. roses), and they don’t necessarily flower all year round. If someone has a favourite flower or favourite colour of flower, it makes them feel special when someone thinks to buy them for them (they get a flower they love to look at for the next week, and they know that someone cares about them enough to buy them flowers, and keep the knowledge of which like).

Mulled cider is fucking banging. You’re missing out if you’ve never had it

I would guess they were using this as a rhetorical device to emphasise how much they dislike Trump. I don’t think they’re actually planning on voting for the guy

There’s a pretty obvious difference between a kid who’s 12, and someone you could reasonably mistake for being an adult (UK age of consent is 16).

Dunno about you, but when I was 19 the thought of raping a child never crossed my mind. He’s spent less than a year in prison, and hasn’t repented for what he did. Redemption has to at the very least come with an understanding that what he did was wrong.

Edit: slightly more than a year; 13 months

No, I think it’s because you took a dismissive tone towards media that other people enjoy, which is bound to rub people up the wrong way.
