Politicians are walking a fine line between catering to what the people want and deciding on things that actually benefit the people. It’s a difficult thing. Should politicians represent the people, or should they have the mandate to make decisions the people may not agree with but are better for the people.

At the very least, they shouldn’t make decisions that benefit only themselves and their rich friends. 💀

I have a hard time taking this as a joke, if it was intended as one, because there were very serious discussions regarding this before and after the election.

Yes – exactly! I think that’s actually the missing part here: “That’s”. It makes the following thing they say sound much more complete. 👍 Thank you!

Now, I’m not as much of a grammar nerd as I’d like to be, but from what I understand, “irony right there” isn’t a complete sentence, or barely even a complete clause. It’s just a few words that should be part of a clause.

Maybe someone could fill in the grammatical details here, or prove me wrong.

Could you clarify? Do you mean to say it’s incomplete or actually complete?

PS5 seems more plausible that a kid would want, in my mind. 🤷‍♂️ But yeah. Pretending to do anything at all seems like a bad idea to begin with.

I consider your hair splitting to be an attempt to downplay it

Please don’t. Me admitting to hair splitting is meant to show how much I despise supporting either one. 👍

I think they support genocide regardless of who voted for them.

So in that case, we agree “voting for the lesser evil” has nothing to do with it, then. 👍

No I do not. I don’t think they support genocide either, but they do support a country committing genocide, which is absolutely disgusting too. But I’m perhaps splitting hairs there.

Do you think they support a country committing genocide because people are voting for them? Or vice versa.

I thought I already tried to do that but yes, definitely. I still don’t think there’s proof of this being a verifiable concept as shown in this image though.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean Discord is better than Matrix for talking. I meant it’s better than Facebook Messenger for talking. I was judging Messenger, not Matrix. 😅 I am definitely one to use and support free software where I can, even if commercial products are more polished. As long as all the functionality is there, I’m good. But in this case I couldn’t get all the functionality I needed/wanted, so I just kind of gave up on it… 😬

You’re right. The schmuck name calling was perhaps a bit harsh on you.

You were “playing” on Murphy/Muphry? What does that mean? It seems like you just didn’t know Muphry’s Law was a thing, and you tried to hang me for “misspelling” it, then you realized what it is and deleted the comment. But maybe I’m just assuming. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know if you’re bantering, perhaps you are. I just have a hobby of shitting on people’s grammar that complain about other people’s grammar. It’s this Robin Hood type of feeling I get. I’m probably sick or something.

Take care!

Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)

Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].

“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.][missing comma] especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym[comma] perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!! [Overuse of exclamation points, although one could argue the level of severity in the contents of your message…]

God save us …. [space between “us” and the ellipsis"; and an extra period after the ellipsis]

Next comment!

Well then[missing comma] use this as a teaching moment and elaborate[missing comma; also another “then”? Then then then then.] then?

I live in a country that uses the King’s English[pretentious af but nothing wrong here], not the American version[missing comma] so please enlighten me - [hyphen instead of en dash] I do enjoy learning. [Good, you’re learning right now.]

But don’t say there are [“is an amount”, probably? I don’t know what the King says, but that’s what I would say] an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given [again, ellipsis with an extra period; also the weird use of an ellipsis here – it should be a comma] the burden of proof rests with you.

Did you learn something?

😆👌 fair enough

Care to elaborate? I may have missed a comma here or there, but what else was wrong?

I mean your own spelling is rather atrocious - especially when devices tend to have a spell check; “Muphry”? Is he a distant cousin of Murphy perchance?

Oh and I use the Kings English here in my country, not “US English” ……

Oh my word, this was embarrassing for you. 😂 My spelling was absolutely perfect, you shmuck. No wonder you deleted it before I even saw the reply in my inbox.

I don’t think I made any claims that this was a fluke. If so, it wasn’t meant to be received as such. I’m merely saying that one election is not enough to go on. “WE NEED TO LOOK AT MORE DATA.” And you seem to have more data, so that’s great. We’re not on opposite sides of an argument there, BTW, just so we’re clear. I’m having a conversation with you. Let’s not get hostile. 👍

The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.

Muphry’s Law strikes again.

Well now we need to see pictures of your hot mom and hot sis so we can judge for ourselves in the name of science and research.

Oh yeah, definitely. I do not watch TV unless maybe my country is playing a sport or whatever.

I stopped watching TV probably 20 odd years ago. 🏴‍☠️

Was it even the kid’s letter to begin with? The whole thing just seems like a setup.

Very late reply, sorry…

Those are some good wants. Thanks for sharing!

I hope you also have been able to improve your sleep since this was posted. Sleep is very important. Regards, from someone who sleeps around 4-5 hours on average some weeks, only by my own doing, mind you. I’m addicted to alone time late at night.

Very late reply, sorry…

I believe I tried to do that whole bridging thing but it was largely unsuccessful. Like, the bridges that were available didn’t support certain things, like voice chat, or posting images, or what have you. At least I think Discord is better for talking. Facebook Messenger really makes me hurl.
