  • First-past-the-post voting should be replaced so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

  • Spelling and grammar matter.

    At least take a stab at doing it well.

    Other than speaking to people, it’s how we interact with others. It can be professionally, casually, or with friends. Friends we can be pretty informal and slap emojis all over if that’s your style. But casually, even online interaction, people should favor more formal writing until “reading the room”. Professionally there’s no excuse, IDGAF how “brilliant” someone might be and suddenly they get a pass for whatever comes down the email pipeline (unless that brilliance comes attached to some bonafide neurodivergence or something), the awful writing I’ve seen come from some “professionals” is anything but.

    • When gaming, Idgaf about grammar on chat. Otherwise agreed. Situation matters.

    • I once complained about people saying “would of” instead of “would’ve” and my comment got deleted because it was ableist.

    • Spellynge and gramere ben of greet importaunce.

      At the leeste, assayeth to doon it wel.

      Save speche with folk, it is the manere whereby we commune with othere. It may be in craft (that is, professional wise), or in lightnesse (casually), or with felawes and frendes. With frendes, men mowe be ful unceremonious, and yif it be thy wone, thou mightest strowe thy writ with signes and ymages (emojis). Natheless, in casual wise, eek in writen wordes upon the net, folk oughten first to usen more formal stile, til they han y-espied the mood of the compaignye.

      In matters of craft and office, ther is noon excusacioun; I care nat how “brighte” a man is holden, ne sholde he have licence for what-so-ever slouthe cometh doun the email weye (save his wit be y-joined with som sothfast diversitee of wit, as neurodivergence or swich). The vile writ that I have seen y-come from “professionals” is naught but shameful.

      I mean if you're using modern English you're using hundreds of years of accumulated error.

      (Be glad I only reached back to Middle English. Nobody wants to see what Old English looks like for this. What's that? You do?)

      Stæfcræft and stæfgewritnes sind swiðe mære.

      At læste, wyrc þu þæt wel.

      Būtan spræce mid folce, is þæt þæt we mid oðrum sprecath and dōð. Hit mæg beon on cræfte (þæt is, on weorce), oððe on lætlicum wisan, oððe mid frēondum. Mid frēondum mæg man beon untrum and spedig, and gif hit is þīn gewuna, þu miht asettan hīehte-tācn (emojis) swā hit þē licað. Ac on lætlicum wisan, eac on netgewritum, scyle man fremian þæt he brūce māre stiðre gewrit, oð þæt he ongyte hū þæt folc þearf hæfð.

      On cræftum and weorcum is nænne forlætenes; ic ne gymð hu “glēaw” sum mann sy, ne sceal he hæbban forlætenes for swelc slæwð þæt cymð þurh þā e-mail weg (butan þæt glēawnes sy gemæne mid sōðfæstum mōdlicum ungelīcnesse, swā swā ānra gehwilc hæfð). Þæt yfel gewrit þe ic geseah of sumum “cræftum menn” is nāht būtan sceamu.

      • I want the bad-grammar version of Old English.

      • Your example is the very reason there were attempts to standardize the language.

    • Reminds me of Stephen Fry's Language monologue.

  • Don’t debate on things we have little to no expertise/personal experience in. [insert really divisive issue here], I am not [this group of people], [other group of people], and don’t have the legal/medical/[insert other relevant thing] background to comment on this issue.

    If you ignore those hot issues, you can focus on the important things that matter in life. Like what’s for breakfast tomorrow morning.

  • Being neuroatypical isn't a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being "normal" was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You're not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you're just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.

    • Not being normal is still marginalizing, the culture has absolutely not shifted to the place where being neurodivergent is trendy or cool. Just because some minority internet subcultures have flipped the association and they value neurodivergence as trendy, special, cool, etc. doesn't mean neurodivergent people don't still struggle to keep jobs and function in daily life in a society that absolutely does not value them and was not built with them in mind.

      I understand frustration with people who fake neurodivergence to feel special (there's a whole subreddit dedicated to that kind of cringe), but that doesn't mean everyone who takes pride in being neurodivergent or who self-diagnoses using online intake questionnaires are wrong, or are just trying to feel special but are actually just shirking responsibility and being annoying.

      Unless you are a clinician trained to diagnose people, gatekeeping whether others are neurodivergent is not your role, no matter how frustrating or how doubtful you might feel about some people. Again, I am sympathetic to your perspective (I can feel all the same ways), but I think there might be some toxicity in how it is getting expressed.

    • like honestly, maybe you have some trauma to work on?

  • The "phones are bad and suck your life away" crowd has gotten way too big. Yes, it's easy to waste time on them, but that's just something you gotta learn, like not watching TV series all night. You're a grown up, deal with it. Also maybe you feel bad for spending all that time on your phone just because feeling bad for that feels cool? It's actually your life you can spend it however you want. You don't need to be productive or successful to be a worthy human. Be a lazy shit that plays stupid phone games while on a train to work.

  • Techno killing all the other music genres + its not underground anymore! It's not combining techno with house or trance, but making techno tracks with some house/trance elements in it. Not to mention that since it was played in big festivals, it lost its label underground.
