"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

If you are thinking of adopting a cat, please consider adopting a black one. Statistically, black cats are not rehomed and are put down more than other colors. (I’m not shitposting btw). And black cats are the best cats.
I feel for the black cats, but tan & white cats are the best, followed by grey cats.
 
I will use they/them depending on context, audience, and clarity
Losing the ability to distinguish between singular and plural does not ever aid in clarity. It happens constantly when you're talking about trannies on MatI: you're referring to a group of people (Cogent, WPath, Google, etc.) while also talking about Keffals or Liz Fong-Jones, but you use "they" for both. It becomes literally impossible to know which pronouns are for whom in this scenario. Since you stopped using singular "they" so frequently, this issue has gone away. The argument that it sounds weird to call someone named Liz "he" is ridiculous, because what if his name really was Liz, given at birth? Would you still call him "they?" What about a man name Sue, or Ashley? Somehow I don't think you'd be saying the same thing.

It's much easier to mentally attach "Liz" to "they" because they/them have been in English as gender neutral pronouns since Shakespeare.
This is retarded troon propaganda and I do not understand why you repeat it. "They" is not and has never been a singular pronoun and it never will be, nor can it be. You will never ever find any example of Shakespeare, under any circumstances, using "they" to refer to an individual of known gender, as in, "Liz Fong-Jones is a true and honest woman who cut off their dick." In fact you will never find any author doing this before about 2010 even when gender was unknown; we used to write "he or she." I'm younger than you, and if I had done this in grade school, my teachers would have beaten me.

Also, Shakespeare is not the ultimate authority on good English, was writing 500 years ago, is mostly compiled out of fake versions written after his death, consists entirely of dialogue and of characters of varying social statuses who sometimes make intentional grammatical errors, and has been repunctuated and redrafted at least three times before coming down to us in what we think of as "Shakespeare," so it would be a stupid argument even if it were true.

When a singular "they" is/was traditionally used in English, it was always paired with the word like someone, anyone, whoever. Shakespeare did use it in this sense, like most people do. It's sloppy but acceptable in this scenario because these words can be plural or singular, and the identity is always unknown. "He or she" is still better. A lot of authors used to say that you should just use "he" for everything, but grammarians have argued over that for centuries.

"They" isn't just a funny word that lets you obscure sex. It's our fundamental linguistic tool for differentiating between singular and plural nouns. It is part of the bedrock of our language. Trannies intentionally have tried to steal it from us in order to dumb us down, which is basically their entire MO. This is blindingly obvious.
 
While taking a weekend away from posting, I thought of some nice things to say about the farms:

-No bots. Everywhere else is flooded with them and it's hard to tell who's a real account, who's not, and if they're legit posting or engagement farming. Xtwitter really got bad with this once they started giving verified accounts a paycheck.
-Highlights and Community happenings. It allows one to take a break, come back and catch up on everything I missed. Other places don't do that, like if you refresh the home page, what you saw at first gets buried under your 'suggested' material. Here, you can always take a breather and come back and catch up on everything, no matter how active a thread got while away.
-Informative posts are valued. This is even more true now that notifications for stickers got removed. Threads still get flooded from time to time if something big is happening in them, but it's nice how the forum is designed in a way where substantial posting is encouraged and rewarded as opposed to just saying 'lol, lmao even' or going on an off-topic soliloquy.

Look around at the most active websites and you see that they're full of accounts that are posting just to get attention or make money or cause drama, but here it's different. I can't think of another website where more ideas are shared and meaningful discussions are had, despite the negative doomposting and retard-offs. Taking a break from the farms at this point, to me at least, is the same thing as taking a break from the Internet.

I don't do any crypto stuff, so the only way that I support the forum (that I know of) is by being a Gumroad subscriber. I don't care if the content there is sparse, as long as contributions are going to help the forum then that's all I care about. Hope Josh is still getting paid from there....if not then someone please tell me right now so I can figure out another way to help. It's the only subscription I pay for.
 
Are you talking about the pigfarm tranny that fed people to pigs? I remember him talking about that one because the channel refused to bring up the fact that it was actually a guy.

Fucking for real?! I was trying so hard to make sense of that video, what kind of condition would lead to such a beastly woman.... The answer was there all along... Portland, male pattern baldness, violent and controlling tendencies, being a fucking pig farmer... Fuck youtubers sometimes man, what the hell?!
 
Why the fuck would you want to live in a state with it's only claim to fame being potatoes even though it's not even the best state at producing potatoes.
It's got beautiful scenery, lots of land, and based politics. The only problem is that it's expensive af now because of all the people from the coast states moving there.

You are a retard. Chinese traditionally does not mark plurals. French plurals are often indistinguishable from singular. Various spoken varieties of Spanish also remove plural markers.

'They' and its inflections have been used as singular pronouns for the generic since the middle ages as English mostly dropped the case system which had a wider variety of pronouns and stricter grammatical gender. Syntax and morphology change.

It doesn't matter if modern dents like people of gender try to coopt it. English has been this way for a long time regardless of the machinations of 19th century grammarians or 21st century mental incompetents to make English gay and prescriptive.

Stop being a retard.
 
I honestly feel sorry for everyone born post genX. The digital age has destroyed so much, you don't even know what you've lost.
Most millennials grew up without the internet or are you including gen x stuff like video games and arcades?

The zoomers and Alpha though have no memory of a time before social media and the internet in general.

Yeah Millennials are in a unique spot where we remember life without Internet, or at least its proliferation, but "came of age" when it really started taking off. I remember what I lost, but it's also hard/almost impossible to go back.

You are a dumb nigger if you think this is a response to anything I said. English isn't Chinese, it isn't French, and it isn't Spanish; it fundamentally lacks features of all of these languages, ESPECIALLY CHINESE, and referencing "traditional" Chinese features just goes to show how little you thought out what you just wrote. Chinese also doesn't have articles; do you think that English will work just fine if you decide to go article-free? Of course it wouldn't, because our language is constructed in an entirely different way from Chinese. Stop being a retard.

You mean when the language was literally so different that we call it a different language and consider it unintelligible? What a compelling argument.

It wasn't written this way in the 20th century. It wasn't written this way in the 19th century. It wasn't written this way in the 18th century. It wasn't written this way in the 17th century. It wasn't written this way in the 16th century....

Also linguistic non-prescriptivism is an invention of faggot academics in the 20th century. There actually IS a way to speak, write, and communicate well, and it involves using the correct pronouns for the sentence at hand and not replacing every possible pronoun with "they."
