You would like unexpected keyboard for your phone then. It supports en–dashes, em—dashes and non-breaking spaces without needing a symbol layer.
I just switched to a keyboard that has both em- and endashes, so I am slightly irritated that using them would make my writing look like ai now

Because everyone uses whatsapp. For most there isn’t really an option of not using whatsapp. Though more and more people are switching to signal nowadays, which is good to see.

Which is why we use plural for singular second person, obviouslyE: I am not gonna continue this prescriptivist argument any further. There are certainly cases where “they is” is correct, but that does not discount the singular “they are”. This is my stance and remains my stance. You believe whatever you want, have a nice day.
Yeah? The pronoun is what causes it to be plural. This is how the grammar works. I don’t understand what your argument is here.

It is not that deep, really. It is almost impossible to understand on a first watchthrough because all context for what is happening is only given towards the very end, so it just looks like a mess. On second watch it should be more understandable, but if you did not enjoy it the first time you wouldn’t the second time either, and you don’t really lose much by not doing it. Just watch a video essay about dissociative disorder in media or something if you want to watch something with meaning.
We really need to just start sending texts.
So you would say that when referencing a singular specific person of undeterminate gender in the third person we should use is? Because I am quite sure that, if that has ever been correct at all, it certainly isn’t now. As per merriam webster: A student was found with a knife and a BB gun in their backpack Monday, district spokeswoman Renee Murphy confirmed. The student, whose name has not been released, will be disciplined according to district policies, Murphy said. They also face charges from outside law enforcement, she said.— Olivia Krauth

Contradicts you as well unless you’d like to argue that “each man are fighting for himself” is correct.
You might want to work on your grammar, my friend.

You is not very smart, is you?
Anarchism wants to do away with salaries altogether in most cases. Anarchism is about increasing freedom, meaning the ability for an individual to take the actions they want to take. A part of this is ensuring no person is dying of starvation/living on the street/etc.
That’s not really a valid argument, as wikipedia is descriptive, not prescriptive. But besides that, yes it does?
Anarchism in it’s correct interpretation rejects all hierarchies, be it from the state, white supremacy, the patriarchy or capitalism. Since money is equivalent to power income inequality does inherently imply a hierarchy.
This is the way
