Literally yesterday Manager Hoyden was saying that weather disasters don't happen to white people countries and today a hurricane is currently on course to cause historic destruction to Tampa.

Manager Hoyden I desperately need you to stop saying nuclear war isn't imminent

I've been to Tampa. Are we sure the hurricane didn't already roll through there?

If "most people" think that a word has a certain meaning, but a dictionary disagrees, it is the dictionary that is wrong.

The singular they owns and everyone should use it.

However you still gotta use the the plural verb form because "they is" sounds real stupid.

Agreed. But for me it's people who follow could/should/would with "of".

Singular they still sucks and has sucked for six hundred years. I wish there had been a greater push to adopt new neutral pronouns; I personally am 100% masculine but I don't think my gender really applies to most situations and would prefer to use a gender neutral pronoun, but I think it would be super problematic for me to adopt they/them pronouns. English is super mutable and isn't anchored in gendered words as much as other language, but like in all the time that has passed between Shakespeare's time and now we have on fleek and WAP and almost nothing else of note.

Every generation comes up with embarrassing jargon that's dropped as they get older, so we don't "have" on fleek or WAP because they're already outdated. Dropped by a cruel and fickle lexicon

And don't worry about the pronouns thing - you can tell people to call you whatever you want. It's for everyone. Personally I am workshopping some pronouns for myself that reflect my prowess at video games and devil-may-care approach to life. Right now I have xXx69e/xXx69is so it needs some work

It's weird how Israel fans always bring up Israel's "right to exist" when if you look at it dispassionately it's inarguable that Israel does not have a right to exist. The whole thing was a terrible plan from the get go.

I don't know anything about Israel or Palestine but I remember trying a bunch of candy that was purported to be from either and overall Israel had better snacks.

This is how all wars should be fought.

Line up the best snacks and hangover cures and have a group of impartial hungover college students determine the winner.

Appropriation of the native cuisines? Aren’t a good third of the Jews in Israel native to the Middle East? It’s their food too

Take pretty much any panOttoman dish and at after the invention of nationalism someone has at least punched somebody else over its origin. More than a few lethal encounters. Many such cases.

At the risk of starting one of the perennial derails, at least we know that circumcision started in Ancient Egypt. Which is surprising because they had a comparatively high level of gender equality for the ancient world and some other odd quirks like no word that we've been able to identify for "virgin". So, ladies could own property but had to get their clit and labia removed. If you told me the Athenians did that I'd be like "yeah, that tracks. Those dudes hated women." But Egypt? It's a real surprise.

I don't mind them on a quiet sunday or something. Definitely wouldn't recommend doing what I did and having to defend your dissertation hung over though. That was rough but it sucked even more when I came out after passing and seeing my car had a boot on it because of too many parking tickets and I had to walk across campus to pay the fee. I thought as long as I kept paying the fine I could just keep parking there but they thought otherwise.

Your mistake was not making sure you were free before being hung over. I work and work out a lot, so when the chance is there, to just get drunk and do nothing the next day. It is like a gift from the gods.

*and genuine gz on doing that, happy for you
