Pat and Sam are going to the movies
Pat buys tickets for a horror film because they don't like Drama
Sam gets upset because they really love Drama
So let me explain what actually happened

Pat thinks both pat and sam dislike drama and buys horror tickets
Sam is upset because same actually does like Drama

the first they is plural, the second they is singular
People on the right use singular structuring with plurals but that is not how the left believes a singular they would work

-

Pat and Sam are going to the movies
Pat buys tickets for a horror film because they don't like Drama
Sam gets upset because they really *loves* Drama
But the right is correct

You'd have to use singular structure otherwise you can't understand what is happening in this situation

Do they both secretly like drama? is the first they just Pat?

They is gender neutral in select circumstances where gender is unknown

In true dystopian nightmare fashion Facebook has begun deleting posts related to the whistleblower without notice to anyone

I posted about a dentist named Eric Ciaramella and Facebook removed it, no warning, no violation, just straight gone.

Never said anything about politics
The post was not political, just talked about someone with the same name, made no reference to anything specific.

You literally can't say the name for any reason even if you know someone with the name
The post violated no rules which is likely why I haven't been suspended for it.

They jusr erased it from my profile without warning

The stupidest fucking thing about American politics is that "party" defines your values.

If Jeff Van Drew stands for everything he campaigned on then he will be a moderate voice bringing balance to Republicans

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
Many of his positions would make Republicans shake their heads or even recoil

vandrewforcongress.com/issues/

The dude is clearly a Democrat

Imagine a Republican championing equal pay for women, net neutrality, and pushing to bar offshore drilling
Its a shame though, he really is a moderate voice the Democrats need right now.

The district has voted Republican since 1994 and they would throw it all away over impeachment that will certainly fail

People can only be convinced to be communist if they covet.

People who build what they want have little concern for controlling how other people building things.

You must convince them they are oppressed or owed something

Naturally we will see many responses to this thread from people who don't know what capitalism or communism really mean

2/
They will conflate corruption with capitalism

The idea that the wealthy cheat the system is no different than the party members cheating the system

This session with an entrepreneur and his wife yesterday had my brain working ALL night and so I’ve decided to do a #thread without my super personal details.

This is a thread about #love and being an #entrepreneur
Once I had clarity of purpose and felt in my soul that I knew why I was on this planet at this particular time, I wrote a plan to achieve that ultimate objective.

I studied role models to understand how they managed to find love, especially paying attention to @richardbranson
Staying married seems to be extremely hard for ambitious people willing to take risks few people will take.

It is easy to be singularly-focused and seem selfish. Your business can seem all-consuming. You drop so many balls trying to juggle them.

To cure a heartbreak simply throw yourself into the next relationship that comes along - said nobody ever. But Keith's friends who could teach him that much aren't with him when one day Matt hangs out with him.
It doesn't start out inherently sexually, no. Matt's honest motive is to become friends with Keith, seeing the situation as it is with them both far away from Earth and drowning in work to rebuild what has been broken during the war.

Gonna break one of my own rules and RT common misconceptions about videogames then explain what actually happened - a thread
DLC, F2P and Early Access were all designed as solutions to specific problems, which can't be described as just "we're hella greedy". Then, over time, some actors pushed them to questionable extremes. Let's deal with each of them separately.
1) DLC
The problems: making games is a pipeline - the road between "having it work once on a developer's machine" and "making it available to everyone" is /long/ and tortuous. Exploratory code & designs are not production quality. Ensuring consistency and balance..
