Serious question:

What is the grammatically correct way to refer to a SINGLE PERSON who uses the preferred pronouns they/them/theirs?

1) They is running for office
OR
2) They are running for office

RT for a wider sample size on this poll

#PronounsDay
TO BE CLEAR, my question is about a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL who uses the preferred pronoun of they/them
To further clarify I'm not saying I agree or not with this new era of gender language.

I'm just genuinely curious what the "proper" way to refer to a "they" doing something would be.

That said, language itself is slowly becoming a social construct. : /

She is NO moderate. She supports abortion. She supports Schumer's agenda. She is attempting to CON the Missouri voters.

Please RT and let America know who Claire REALLY IS.

🚨 DOPPLEGANGER ALERT 🚨

Is it just me or does Italian Comedian Matteo Lane look EXACTLY like left wing conspiracy theorist Kyle Griffin, producer of MSNBC's show "The Last Word"?

#WednesdayThoughts
A reminder of Kyle's widespread lies

1) Kyle posted a man was arrested while bringing his pregnant wife to the hospital ONLY because he illegally entered our country.

It turned out he was wanted for MURDER in Mexico.
2) Kyle posted (then deleted) debunked story that Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley spent $52,000 lavish bill on curtains for her office.

Turned out expenditure was approved during predecessor Susan Rice's tenure.

Elizabeth Warren has released her DNA test, 'proving' her Native ancestry, from 10 generations ago

Math: 3 kids/gen
1st gen: 3
2nd gen: 9
3rd gen: 27
4th gen: 81
5th gen: 243
6th gen: 729
7th gen: 2,187
8th gen: 6,561
9th gen: 59,049
10th gen: 177,147

1/177,147 = 0.00000564503%
Some followers and other Twitter accounts are saying she may be representing as latino / hispanic.

How long before we get Elizabeto Warren?
I've been informed my math is off and its 2 ^ 10 = 1,024

Math:
1st gen: 2
2nd gen: 4
3rd gen: 8
4th gen: 16
5th gen: 32
6th gen: 64
7th gen: 128
8th gen: 256
9th gen: 512
10th gen: 1,024

1 / 1,024 = 0.0009765625%

Either way, my point is still the same ;)

A thread for young people.

If you don't come from wealth or privilege, chances are that, you're in the most difficult generation ever, for young people to become wealthy.

Here are my thoughts on how to beat the trap.
I don't need to tell you that globally, it's harder than ever to get a great job. Even more difficult to get a well-paying job.

Chances are that most people barely have a savings at the end of the month, after meeting their daily needs.
Then jobs that existed before are quickly being taken over by machines, or even more skilled workers who are ready to work for less. So the competition is steep.

But when life hands you lemons...

Product design best practices dictate that you should ask what customers need and build that.

But a product that you don’t deeply want to use yourself won’t have a soul. Most of the world’s great products were born of personal passion.

Build for yourself first. 4 reasons why:
1) When you are designing for you, the customer is not abstract.

So many bad products have been designed based on generic business plans or analyses of “unmet customer needs.” Yes, there are ways to get great customer signal but that is always one layer abstracted from yourself.
Facebook started because… well, you've seen The Social Network. The Uber guys wanted to tool around in fancy black cars. @stewart + the Slack team started building a game and instead realized what they cared about was the chat software they were building for themselves to use.

The two sequences of tweets that on one hand blames JLN for constitutional safeguards protecting jihadi claims on J&K and the other appeals to NaMo as the sole saviour who can change history - illustrates whats so totally wrong with our popular political thinking.
Both show how most see history or political decision making as a single person process and thereby totally fail to capture the underlying process by which such blunders as the constitutional one or selection of JLN as chief "happens" or hope one NaMo can and will "correct" it all
Lets ask some simple questions: if JLN was so "bad" why was he "selected" to be the "chief"? if u say MKG chose him, then apart from raising serious doubts abt MKG's own calibre as a leader, who chose MKG to get such overwhelming "choosing" power? if you say then INC members,

well shit.
I genuinely despise relitigating 2016's primary, but it really is illustrative of just how breath-takingly incompetent Clintonworld is.
They had full control over the party's functions before any primary elections occurred. They had more money than God at their command.

1/ My first job out of college was answering phones in the Senate.
2/ When someone wanted to influence an upcoming vote they did the same thing, flood the zone with advocacy driven calls.
3/ We had plenty of weeks like this with the phones ringing off the hook tying everything up.

Asians are never included in American discussions about race because we inconveniently contradict this idiotic notion of white privilege.
This supposed white privilege is doing a terrible job keeping Asians down considering that we make more than white houses. Such oppression.
I'm almost flattered that the "model minority" stereotype exists. Wow, you automatically think I'm smart? What horror! Stop oppressing me!
