I don't think it's that hard, the line is mainly "is this hard to understand?" If yes then correcting or discussing it is not prescriptivism, if no, then you're just being pedantic

Just take texting or internet comments for example, how many are missing punctuation? How many are using slang terms or shortenings of words? How many are straight up omitting/skipping words? How many are making liberal use of language to either express themselves or have some emotional impact? Or just don't put in the effort to do grammar

After all, I miss punctuation in this very comment as well, especially at the end of paragraphs, in addition to skipping words or making liberal use of language like "do grammar". Is that grammatically correct? Absolutely not, but you understand what I mean

Assuming informal communication, of course. Formal communication is more about being proper, and ties into cultural norms of formality etc

They want me dead so, I'm just giving them the same courtesy

Knowing about crumple zones makes you ask why you would even want a "stiff and solid" vehicle in the first place lmao.

In a group of 40 women, chances are really high at least 2 of them would be a good couple. It's a blind group date.

..a lot of people do argue against their cause, though, is the thing. We cannot wait for change to happen, we gotta force some hands.

The biggest issue to me seems to be the model struggling to put emphasis in the right places, but if that's something you can manually tune..

Aside from that, it sounds fine. I would hate to be a VA right now. Maybe it won't kill the field, but it will reduce a lot of job opportunities.

Back then Nazis were nearly universally understood as bad. Especially since there still were many living survivors of the Nazi's genocide.

If this happened today, the left would get endless criticism. But I fully agree we should bring this back.

Food should be a basic right. So, yes. I would argue that it should be the government's job.

In fact, I would argue that all the basic survival needs should just be provided to us free of charge. Leave money and income and working as such for earning yourself luxuries.

Anything less and you're just forcing people to work under the threat of starvation and homelessness. And is that right?

...also were talking about literal children here. It's not like they have a choice exactly.

It kinda already does though.

Just put stuff like "I'm vaccinated" or "abortion is a human right" or "we shouldn't kill queer people maybe", and that weeds out at least 60% of the bad actors.

Basically don't make your bio as widely appealing as possible. Make it as unappealing as possible to the people you don't want in your life. A filter, not an advertisment.

Okay but lots of other autistic people I know really appreciate tone indicators so you cannot really speak for everyone. Not to mention, why does knowing that something was meant to be sarcastic hinder learning instead of essentially guessing?

I don't even get why they think we're going to be forced to eat it. You can also just eat plant protein like beans. Do they all just forget that plants exist?
