SaysWho?

Es gab eine Zeit, in der ich nicht verstanden habe, was Sie geschrieben haben. Ich verstehe das jetzt jedoch. Meistens, weil Scheiße alles im Kopf ist.

Looks like there's no standard, so I must have read this a while ago and not remembered that the word isn't uniform. spanish+gender+neutral+pronoun - Google Search WWW.GOOGLE.COM

tbh, I didn't know English was a Germanic language. O_O But my g/f (@Keyser_Soze) speaks good German so now I know what our dinner convo will be.

Maybe I misinterpreted, but isn't elle the gender neutral pronoun there? Ella/El are female/male? @Joe-bi-wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

Thanks for the answers. I can kind of see this in general since people will use 'they' when saying something like, "I don't know who ate my food in the employees' lounge, but they shouldn't have," or even to refer to this, "I just familiarized myself with how someone trans wants to be called, and I'll call them whatever they want," and it's usually if you don't know who someone is or are talking in the general sense. I'd rather just use a new term entirely if APA/Websters/whatever could think of one since if you know the person, it still seems strange to use a singular 'they' when the most commonly used way to use it is for multiple people, but until then, if that's how the person wants to be called, then that's what they're called.

I don't yet understand the 'they' part, just because I use that to refer to multiple people. I completely understand he/him.

Shitty "bipartisan" bill by a group of mostly shitty Senators.

The first boss in World 3 had an interesting solution.

I put you in a different category entirely from Jason. Everyone has known about your issues to the extent that you've been willing to share them. But just to make the term toxic by beating it to death, you're not "dunking" on people for trying to lower the temperature. End of the day, I was actually diagnosed with GAD, so I understand uncontrollable anxiety, and I understand coping mechanisms. So I feel comfortable in telling people that the constant jacking off to doom porn isn't helpful for themselves and isn't healthy with which to consume all of the conversations here.

Jason does that to the point that saying NO MECHANISM was banned. He didn't take kindly to someone doing it to him.

Jason doesn't understand that he is dunking on others, and that we've been "dunked" on for four years. Here he's doing his usual "respond to someone else sarcastically to attack another user" thing. I don't think he understood my post, tbh.

I forgot who said it here, but the reasoning is likely that the founders thought people from their club would end up being president. THE GENIUS OF THE FOUNDERS

It absolutely has shown that depending on "norms" is not as reassuring as depending on actual laws.

Those Goal posts

Legend is right that people are talking past each other. This is a good example. In 2017, I was laughed at and sometimes mocked for suggesting that Democrats were set to make big gains in fall 2017 and 2018 based on the huge swings in social elections. "LOL MORAL VICTORIES" this and "LOL AT DOUG JONES POSSIBLY WINNING" that. As usual, Wade was the only one who put his money where his mouth is. But nothing good was going to happen because nothing matters and whatever SNL lines people were reciting. In 2019 and 2020, it was all about how Trump would successfully steal the election, from the same people who said Hillary was so bad she lost to Trump of all people. We went from that to Trump organizing a well oiled machine that would have him remain president forever. No self reflection as to the contradiction. Every positive piece of news in the lead up to the election was met with a creative and usually ridiculous cartoony plan Trump would hatch. There was no discussion about anything but that. The only time worries made sense to consume the board was election night during Florida. And even then there were some positive signs. At a certain point, people gave themselves anxiety for no reason. The idea that those of us who were trying to cool the ridiculous theories about every facet of not just the election, but the world for the past two years, weren't affected at all or didn't know anyone affected, is as ridiculous as the constant doom and gloom. I think @MarSolo said of one of my posts about the good things I've seen in the past four years that it could make for a great pep talk. End of the day, sulking and doom posting relieves no tension and destroys the discourse for every other topic on the board.

The right amount is not what's been happening. Up to the board to figure out where the happy medium is; it's already enough work responding to every silly worst case scenario that could possibly happen for every event until the heat death of the universe so I'm not working harder to figure that out as well.

Also, is the title a Mitch Hedberg reference? I kept forgetting to ask.

Your reactions are inappropriate; we agree there. After four years of witnessing the silliest and most overdone, tiresome doom posting, you're fortunate some of us aren't snarkier.

Nobody actually cares if you're mad at them; it's just the reasoning that's always funny and random.

Tbh it's been the norm since Nov 9 2016

I watched that episode and yesterday's. It's weird for me to watch new episodes with him; I assume his final episode will get high viewership.

I only put four or five people on the sane list this year, too.

This is four years of this crap, even though his proclamations of how bad Hillary was to lose to Trump is contradicted by his insistence on how threatening Trump and his master plan were.

You made up a dumb scenario where Trump would somehow be president after January 20 because the courts something something. 4 years of a board going "nothing matters" even when something good was happening. In 2017, it was the moral victories argument. In 2018, it was supposed to be 2016 all over again. In 2020, somehow Trump was pulling off this masterful plan after you hilariously hilariously trolled people by telling then that Hillary was so bad she lost to Trump.

You'll get used to the admiration and ire fluctuating. I did because I liked Bernie.
