@DvdButler @ShutupRuss Oh, please tell me about how much the average peloton user rides, random guy on the internet who apparently has no idea how much it costs to own a bike.

[Boner Time Lemonade ➐ @Captain__Google]

@TheOtherJimbo @DvdButler @ShutupRuss When I did HIMs, I indeed didn’t spend much more, maybe $100/year b/c of tires. Still a lot cheaper than peloton.

[Boner Time Lemonade ➐ @Captain__Google]

@DvdButler @ShutupRuss Yeah it’s not much, but it’s every week. But you ride 0 miles.

I want to find a cause that I’d glue my hand to a counter for.

[Boner Time Lemonade ➐ @Captain__Google]

@friendof_thedog @DvdButler @ShutupRuss Yep, and thousands cheaper than peloton.

We appear to have normalised the collapse of the Great Barrier Reef, 90% of whose parts have bleached this year. Or so the lack of horror and fury suggests. What else are we prepared to overlook, so that fossil fuel companies can keep making their billions?

“Mary Poppins” is dark Dickensian tale of English “hand maid,” forced to nurse children of her feudal lord, and her doomed romance with chimney sweeping peasant doomed to die of cancerous lung tumors.

It really sucks that we have a two party system. Republicans are fascists, but Democrats are invertebrates.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

3) “Top Democrats’ decision to forgo adding $10 billion in Covid health funding to the package — at Republicans’ insistence — has caused consternation among the majority party, since the funding for testing, therapeutics and vaccines now faces an uncertain path to final passage.”

A 4’x 8’ sheet of 3/4 bamboo plywood is $3,295.00! WTF?

the right will defend rittenhouse and 1/6 and pass laws that you can use your car to run over protesters and democrats will condemn their own voters for chanting loudly outside someones house

Business idea: Black OR white photos - you can make them all black or all white.

4) Assuming I object to the use of 'they' as a person's pronoun when really I want to illustrate how interesting and novel it is from a language POV.

5) Being wrong and a jerk at the same time.

So yeah @houstonrbyrd - fuck off bud.

[Boner Time Lemonade ➐ @Captain__Google]

Angry blowhard @houstonrbyrd gets a few things wrong:

1) Generalizing from an irregular conjugation of the verb 'be'. It's irregular because it doesn't apply to other verbs.

2) Equating the third person singular with the first person subjunctive mood. Not the same.

1/3

[Houston Byrd @houstonrbyrd]

@Captain__Google There are plenty instances in English where verb conjugation changes plurality despite the subject (e.g. “If it were me”) The whole idea is a non-issue. Cobbling together a grammatical discrepancy is the lamest devils advocate shit. Trans ppl don’t wanna field ur dumb questions

[Boner Time Lemonade ➐ @Captain__Google]

3) This particular use of 'they' was the American Dialect Society's word of the year (2015) and decade (2010s) as well as Mirriam-Webster's word of the year (2019). So it's legitimately novel, and worth talking about, and even worth celebrating.
