Dumb Epidemiologist

Public Health Researcher. Social Worker. Harm reduction. I have two cats, two dogs, and a husband.

Too young to be a dumb Boomer, but, somehow, here we are.

@GBNT1952 @LibertyCappy Agreeing with a post to not blame a whole group for a mistake of a small portion… by saying it was completely one group, which we know wasn’t true.

We have a log of all of the people the US paid reparations to for freeing their slaves. Many, many northern Republicans.

@LSU What about now? 😅 I wore my shrimpin boots just in case

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Thanks for revealing your true intent. There is really no reason to have wasted everyone's time with the grammar argument. You can just say you don't believe in trans people and we both could have fucked off.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Now it's just a false flag and ad hominem. Are we talking about the grammatical use of the singular they anymore? I'm not talking with you about gay rights. We can't even ready a dictionary together, much less talk about civil rights LOL.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Do I think it's confusing when a writer can't keep pronouns straight? Yeah. That's not about 'they' being wrong, that's about the writer being bad at writing.

So it's not about grammar... its about readability? Gotcha. Glad we agree its grammatically correct finally.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr You said it was grammatically incorrect. You have never mentioned 'readability' once. This is, again, a shifting baseline LOL

I 100% agree. Singular they is a hard grammatical item when taken without context. And I also retract my statement about earnest engagement at this point

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Belle did not want to be called 'her'. If the only choices are 'he' and 'she', then it was very much intentionally not calling Belle that... Because Belle didn't want that. Was Belle's gender required as apart of the obit? Prob not.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr You said something and, when asked for a citation, provided something that disagreed and somehow I am the one ignoring things? Shifting baseline again. You can just admit that you're wrong about the grammar thing instead of.... going along with a lie. Its OK that you don't agree.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr You picked the citation! I don't go by the 'original' definition of every word because language changes right? Awesome used to be scary. Cute used to mean sharp. Fantastic = imaginary. Meat = any solid food. Nice = dumb.

Singular's first use, 1375. https://t.co/VV6onWtWXQ

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Really: Thanks for engaging earnestly about this. Your own citation; however, does not support your claim. The last two seem to both apply.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Citation?

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr I actually didn’t say those words. Hypocrisy doesn’t makes someone more or less right… it makes them a hypocrite. Just life shifting baseline doesn’t make you wrong. It’s just a bad faith effort.

It is disrespectful to call people things they don’t choose. Not that deep.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Talk about shifting baseline. I literally agree that I would never have an abortion if it was my choice and you are here saying I’m trying to play the victim. You’re not even keeping on topic. This is about a LTE that was disrespectful to the person it was about. Not abortion.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Please check the AP style guides on “standards of English”. Also the dictionary. They has been used as a singular for a long time. I didn’t claim anyway was using any dead kid for anything, not sure who you are quoting while replying to me

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr Don’t think comparing a fetus to a fully formed human is fair either way, but, yeah, I would never have an abortion myself. Good distraction/shifting baseline. Complain about twisting words and then pull this? Really now?

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@PRL05950168 @BigEasyConserv @JSODonoghue @theadvocatebr You can yell at clouds all you want but you can’t be on my lawn doing it. Posting a LTE about an obit is trashy. Dude can hate the use of pronouns all he wants, just not over the body of a dead kiddo.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@InfinityHealth8 @theadvocatebr Like every cancer treatment, if I remember correctly.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@Maddad_2112 @ATRightMovies It’s also all not real food items. They all likely filled with weighing to make them fall correctly, sticky on the bottom, the ones that are stacked probably have magnets. Movie magic is amazing because it’s just cool science.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@RTMannJr It’s funny because you’ve been tweeting this same thing for nearly 20 years and nothing has actually “happened” yet despite the plans.

[Dumb Epidemiologist @DumbEcon]

@lordhustle @tervymom @MeidasTouch @rolandsmartin This case is not the slam dunk: former mayor delivers ballot of elderly people to poll because there is no Mail Delivery in San Luis, happily pleads guilty because she doesn’t think she did anything wrong.
