This annoys me greatly as someone who actually pays attention to solar activity to predict aurora potential.

No, the word "abhorrent" doesn't make sense at all (not sure if the writer was trying to say that English is hated by the "education system" or what).

Well, there's language that obscures meaning and there's language that fails to correctly use the subjunctive (  ). I think it's fair to criticize the former even if you're employing the latter to do so.

I thought everyone had gotten over the "IM MORE SPECIALER THAN YOU, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HOW TO INTERACT WITH ME, THE STAR OF THE WORLD" phase of Facebook with posting articles about being introverted. Apparently being an empath means you need very special treatment and consideration from the rest of us normies.

You are the nerd who wants to "debunk" a Fake Geek Girl by asking her what planet Superman is from, gently caress off. That's pretty much his level of nerd-dom. Ready Player One came across as him trying desperately to prove how much of a nerd he is by listing off as much 80s pop culture trivia as he could cram in a YA novel. It doesn't surprise me to see a rant about smart girls where he references tweed jackets and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to show how smart his "porn starlets" would be. But maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. Maybe he just likes to list things.

Midnight Voyager posted:HEY MY lovely COUSIN IS BACK WITH MORE ILL-INFORMED OPINIONS "Life" in this instance being defined as "being tied to machines that have to operate your lungs for you because your degenerative condition has already robbed you of sight, hearing, movement and comprehension, because a doctor who's never even looked at your medical records says he can help". I saw an interview with the dad of a kid who's condition wasn't nearly as severe and the best they could offer after years of treatment was "maybe in a few more years he'll be able to blink so we don't have to eye-dropper him 24/7". gently caress that, if I'm ever in a condition that makes the dude from the Metallica video look like Rampage Jackson, switch me off.

Midnight Voyager posted:HEY MY lovely COUSIN IS BACK WITH MORE ILL-INFORMED OPINIONS In case you haven't kept up with the Charlie Gard case, he's a baby that was born with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. His body began shutting down by itself to the point where he's now completely incapable of eating, breathing, seeing, or hearing without medical devices to do it for him. There's an infinitesimally small chance that he'll ever improve from his current state (which is basically a vegetable baby), and if he does he's not going to live much longer. The family is currently fighting to deny that their son is irreversibly, terminally ill and that the millions they want to spend on experimental care overseas would be wasted.

Good news, they've stopped! They're claiming that the case went on for too long and he's now too far gone for the life saving treatment to work. It's more doctor-blaming bullshit but they're in too deep to back out without pro-life psychos calling them murderers as they bury their son, so let them believe what they want. I honestly have nothing but sympathy for the parents. Dealing with a terminally ill baby is unimaginable without having scam artists and placard-waving maniacs filling your head art lies about how he'd be a football-playing chess champion if SOCIALIZED MEDICINE wasn't killing him. I know they called the media in the first place but all the really dumb stuff like claiming the hospital/judge/NHS is lying came once the crazies were in charge. E: I'd forgotten Congress voted to give the baby US citizenship on the back of that scam artist, too. This stupid world. NO FUCK YOU DAD has a new favorite as of 23:46 on Jul 24, 2017 |

Subjunctive posted:Wait, pro-life people who care about a baby after birth? Gonna need you to talk me through that. They were getting money in the approved way (donations), and the baby is white. He also was not going to live even with aid so they wouldn't have to keep paying. It's a one-time donation for the attention. Pick any or all of the above.
