Look, I explained how it developed and why it’s used that way. I also explained the difference between a “full stop” and a “period”. If your reading comprehension is that terrible, maybe don’t get involved in discussions about linguistics because it clearly went right over your simple minded little head.

It’s really only a “full stop” when it’s the last or only sentence, not just any sentence with a period. It’s related to phones only adding the period if you hit space twice. So by default, single sentences never have it because you don’t continue typing. So actually putting it in is intentional for many people and they are in fact making a statement akin to “this is my final word on the matter”.

It’s the difference between

“Can you help me with this?” “No”

And

“Can you help me with this?” “No.”

That extra “.” after “No” wasn’t strictly necessary, so by including it on purpose, you’re making a statement. That’s the general thought process going on with people who find it passive aggressive.

You can also go back even further to T9 typing and texting shorthand and see that punctuation was largely ignored due to message size limitations and difficulties typing on a phone in general. It’s something that has evolved over time due to the medium. The main issue is people who have gone through this transition see it one way, and people who are used to more formal writing suddenly joining the internet see it another way. I would say it’s more like regional accents. Both are correct depending on context.

Very cool. Definitely looks like it took a lot of work.

My question is whether or not every piece is “attached”? I get that some are held on by being wrapped/secured by chains, but is every piece “connected”? If so then I find this impressive. If it’s just a heap glued together(which I’m not getting that vibe), less so. There’s beauty in the engineering, similar to tensgrity builds.

This one. When not being actively puffed, the ember disappears into the ash.

The bottle of red food dye, and drops of the food dye on the plate, is literally in the picture.

Ok yeah, I remember that. And yes, they completely dropped the ball on explaining that.

It made me feel better that your worthless comment was called out and downvoted tbh. This isn’t Instagram. Unless you have something to actually add, no one gives a fuck about your need for attention.

They did tho? He’s a high ranking person in the cartel. He’s directly responsible for Salamanca being in the wheelchair.

I get what you’re saying tho. They implied he was gonna be this legendary villian and then it’s revealed that he’s just another cookie cutter cartel member. It seemed like they were gonna go some route like he was a former cartel leader who got disgraced and was now building himself and his empire back up. But it kinda fell flat.

Because you’re an anti-AI zealot unwilling to hear the other side so every conversation devolves into uselessness. You don’t want to have a discussion, you just want people to agree with you.

Exactly what the OP you responded to is saying.

Yup! She’s not exactly a linebacker.

Will you morons stop nitpicking this? Contextually, for an older person, she’s still a child. Big whoop.

She was beaten and you daft imbeciles are outraged over the use of words.

You wonder why you get no progress? Because you’re a bucket of crabs nitpicking anything that isn’t perfect because that’s easier than actually doing something.

Ok, so you just keep wanting to try and derail this into talking about becoming conservative when you get older.

For the last time you retarded mouse:

An older person described Greta as “still a child” because from their perspective she is. I never said she wasn’t worth listening to. Not once. Get some reading comprehension.

And your daft retarded ass keeps missing that point over and over and over and going on and on about conservativism.

You’re retarded or a troll. Have fun being blocked cus I won’t see you anymore. People like you are why they put warning labels on everything. You’ll still die of stupidity, but at least your family won’t be able to sue.

Go huff the end of a tailpipe.

Oh, you have a SAYING?!? Omg, another vague generalization? Holy shit, how have we as a species survived for so long without your wisdom, Plato??? You need to tell the masses!

Hey everyone, this guy has boiled down all of politics to a few simple sayings! We’ve found the Messiah!

Fucking dumbass 😑

Again, this is about someone older referring to a young person as “still a child”. That’s it, you fucking tool. How daft are you?

Cool, now let’s talk about the overwhelming majority of today’s youth leaning right. If young people are so much smarter why are so many of them falling into that trap?

Oh shit, it’s almost like making generalizations leads to you spouting bullshit out of context. I can just as easily paint today’s youth as absolute morons.

But you’re so ready to be like “old people dumb and evil” that you forget this is all about calling Greta " a child". You know, like your grandma might do to your adult self because, from her perspective, you still are.

Go touch some grass you fucking loser. We’re talking about someone being abused and you’re nitpicking over the definition of “child”. You’ve missed the mark so far you’re not even in the same stadium.

That’s a bullshit generalization, or “stereotype”. Jane Goodall just died at a ripe old age and she was a saint. You’re not debating, just throwing bullshit assumptions out and acting like you just wrote a thesis paper on experience.

Exactly! They’re not infantilizing her, they’re just describing her as they see her: as still basically a kid with one foot into adulthood.

I feel like it’s mostly younger people disagreeing tbh. No one older seriously looks back on their young adulthood and goes “yup, I had everything figured out then! That was totally my peak!”…well, unless your Al Bundy obsessing over high school football games.

Yes, I am still young and there’s much to learn still. Just there’s EVEN MORE OF THAT for younger people. It’s called perspective.

Depends on how old the person saying that. I’m only in my late 30’s and anyone in their early 20’s does feel like a kid. Yes, 22 is an adult, but you’ve barely just scratched the surface of life experiences.
