Apparently showing the tiniest speck of empathy is grandstanding now.

Absolutely, hypocrisy and hating yourself are core tenets of the conservative experience in America.

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

Sounds like they were playing by his rules? We both know there’s no evidence “the left” killed him but hey we all know how conservatives feel about facts right?

Hey Jimmy Kimmel, how do you like that marketplace of ideas? I heard conservatives sure do value that marketplace. Why can’t I hear you Jimmy?

So you’d rather police grammar than provide something to the conversation?

Is that not how language actually works? How is telling people to follow made up rules not prescriptivism?

Yes, it’s a casual comment, a casual thought written casually. All of your assumptions here don’t apply. Why not spend time having a conversation rather than bringing it to a screeching halt enforcing made up rules? The only time I think criticizing grammar is warranted is if you’re genuinely confused about what they’re trying to say, and you can definitely be more polite when doing it.

EVERYONE STOP TALKING! They also forgot an apostrophe. Gotta love prescriptivists.

I guarantee you everyone will forget about Kirk dying a couple weeks from now, far from martyrdom. Facts don’t mean anything to these brainwashed morons, one of their “grievances” is the “stolen election” for Christ’s sake. Personally I’ll endure a couple weeks of hypocritical crocodile tears from the right to never hear another racist/transphobic/moronic utterance from that puckered asshole he called a mouth for the rest of my natural life.

Repeat the first sentence from the wikipedia quote and ask yourself if it addresses everything you just said. Here’s a hint: it does.

I’m providing context for why numbers regarding transgender people are fuzzy at best and why telling someone they’re “fucking lying” about them is misguided at best.

Accurate statistics on the number of transgender people vary widely,[11] in part due to different definitions of what constitutes being transgender.[6] Some countries collect census data on transgender people, starting with Canada in 2021.[12][13][14][15] Generally, less than 1% of the worldwide population is transgender, with figures ranging from <0.1% to 0.6%.[16][17]

From wikipedia.

Sad that it got delayed but I have high hopes.

Ok? And what about the sentence right after that one that addresses all this?
