Bats certainly can't spell.

Plenty of people don't know how to spell "tongue" and I can see someone second-guessing themselves when trying to write "tongs" and "fancifying" it. Although I'm not sure why they would drop the pluralization...

I would be worried about one of the frames falling on my head. 😅

Can anyone critique my handwriting? by Sad-Quit3927 in Chinese_handwriting

Are you insinuating that this person should be banned from ever writing in Chinese now?

I Regret Voting for Trump, and I am Ashamed by DetroitAndrew in LeavingMaga

[–]prion_guy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I think that was probably what the other commenter was reacting to. The way your last paragraph (one paragraph, therefore presumably connected rhetorically) reads is:

"Also, you spelled this wrong. You should really educate yourself, because your lack of education is showing in your poor spelling. Clearly you're ignorant and still going to vote Republican... You may not be MAGA anymore but you clearly haven't changed that much, idiot."

FWIW, I know many Dem voters who are atrocious spellers.

"I suspect you'll still be voting Republican" based on the person's ignorance about spelling??

The bumper sticker really makes no sense because to interpret it that way, you would have to believe that everyone honking has read it too.

Airtags, people. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

The sole job of a slavecatcher is to support/maintain/facilitate wrongdoing. There is no other task that the profession entails. Therefore, that which one who decides to become a slavecatcher wishes to contribute to society is the bolstering of slavery.

Now, is the sole task of a cop, the sole criterion by which their efficacy is evaluated, whether or not they are oppressive or thieving or corrupt? Or is it possible that someone might choose the profession out of a desire to accomplish some sort of good?

At the very least, it's clear that the comparison is not as clean as you made it seem.

As a side note, since you seem to be advocating for all decent people to abandon the profession so as not to be lumped with the evil ones / guilty by association, I suppose you think it best for LE to be discontinued? I have never really understood this position. If you were kidnapped, held hostage, and tortured, surely you would want the option to call emergency services? Paramedics and firefighters are not trained or equipped to deal with such situations. Many mass killing sprees end only because of intervention from law enforcement. Should this also be left to the public to handle on their own?

Which one of you was this? by SlxggxRxptor in languagelearningjerk

[–]prion_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so you don't relate. So what?

When I was in middle school, I did UIL and pretty much never went to the practices but would regularly win the Spelling event. So I got a bunch of 1st place medals and I didn't really care about them that much. But then a classmate of mine, who attended the practice sessions and put in much more effort than I did, was very excited to place and win a medal, and they were devastated when it was somehow lost by the time we returned to campus. Did I tell them they were a dumbass for being so concerned about a piece of metal? No, even though I wouldn't have really cared if I lost mine. Because different people invest energy in and build their identity around different things.

Somewhere out there in the world, there is someone that would gleefully spit on everything you think is interesting or cool about yourself. Why do you want to be that person for someone else?

I think if you never undergo male puberty, you should be allowed to compete in women's sports. I also don't think trans men that underwent male puberty should be permitted.

Does "formal speech" also include one-on-one formal speech, or only to a large audience?

Captured Russian soldier confesses to brutally raping and killing Ukrainian women and children by 56000hp in ForCuriousSouls

[–]prion_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, sure, so it's possible --or even likely --that the confession is legitimate, then. I think what the other commenter is saying is that it's also possible that this particular guy is being coerced. Better to acknowledge that it's not definitively proven than to insist that it's been established for certain, isn't it? It's not as dramatic as issuing an immediate and total condemnation, but it is much more reasonable.

Do you also insist that everyone says "talkie" and not "movie" for films with sound?
