This isn’t a spelling error. This is a grammatical error. “Your” is correctly spelled. It’s just the wrong word.

The ability to use the correct words

“The capacious aptitude for the judicious deployment of linguistically felicitous and semantically apropos verbiage,” I think you mean.

Not even slightly surprising to me. Mention China, directly or indirectly, and the fee fees of American neocon thugs get hurt and the downvote brigade comes out to fight as only they know best to fight.

I thought Kissinger used violence to dismantle democracies, not TikTok?

Empathy. It shocks me how many “adults” have a toddler-level understanding of their relationship to the world (as in it doesn’t revolve around them) and society (as in we have responsibility for each other). So many “adults” sound like screeching toddlers whenever there’s a hint of someone else getting something they don’t get. It even reaches the level of “I don’t like this movie so it shouldn’t have been made” as if the very existence of entertainment or education or whatever in a field they themselves don’t prefer is a personal affront.

And this isn’t even a right-wing thing. The feminist National Action Committee in Canada was turned from a potent and feared political force to a laughingstock by ostensible left-wing women deciding that their concerns over daycare trumped native women’s active murders among other intersectional issues.

I try to have a piece of fresh fruit (whatever’s seasonal: right now it’s mangoes) about an hour before I go to sleep.

The downvoting brigade is out in force I see.

Terrified, are we, about an alternative to the current broken system?

Who said anything about GPS, though? It could easily be those “bluetooth beacons”, right?

Yes, let’s just ignore almost a century of research on perception and go with that, shall we?

Yes. That’s exactly what “elitism” means. 🙄

There are a whole lot more threats than cars at crossings that you might like to be aware of.

(And before people straw man this, it’s an example selected for comedy potential, not a comprehensive list of all possible environmental hazards you might want to keep aware of.)

Just unnecessarily redundant ones for those of us not so addicted to our phones we can’t last 20 seconds without looking at them.

I know! Maybe they need traffic lights built into phones! As you approach a traffic light, they link up with the intersection and tint your screen green and red depending on the walk/don’t walk status! You’d never have to look up from your phones again!

I have my eye on a guqin. I’ll never be able to play one, but they look gorgeous and I’d want one as a decoration for my wall.

That’s twice now.

And for a non-American, there’s a whole lot of American-focused political shit in your feed. Perhaps there would be less confusion if you, you know, stopped talking like an American with an American’s viewpoint on everything.

My gal.

Weird. I just pay attention to my surroundings myself.

Oh, I fucking HOPE so! The thought of all those assholes dying horribly of radiation and/or starvation on the trip or on Mars proper just fills me with joy.

Yes. “Guy.” Even the American “left” can’t help but use the masculine-as-default.

In today’s lesson, an always-seeking-something-to-be-offended-about ideologue learns about “linguistic drift”.

Or, more likely, doesn’t. But that’s par for the course for America’s so-called “left”. (You know, the “left” that the rest of the world considers “centre right”.)

The “deal” may be a dictation the way things are going.

Oh, I love divination systems myself. I don’t think they have any predictive validity, but I think they have value in “de-rutting” your thoughts. I find they foster creativity and unjam blocks and such by putting a new way of looking at issues.

Currently I’m playing around with the 易经 (Yijing/I-Ching). (I literally just put up a photo-essay yesterday of some of my tools, and a photo-essay with two forms of divination, including the Yijing a couple of weeks before.)
