    Prescriptivism: n - the belief that there are correct and wrong ways to use language and that books about language should give rules to follow, rather than describing how language is really used

    Shh, shh. It’s time to get to bed lil’ dude. You’ve learned so much about context clues today! Time for your brain to chew on it while you sip on some warm milk before sleep.

    Edit: I forgot to tell you that you did a great job! I’m sorry, that was probably a pretty stressful wait.

        What a genuinely fucking dumb thing to say.

        “If YoU tHiNk ChInA iS sO mUcH bEtTeR wHy DoN’t YoU lIvE tHeRe??”

        It’s incredible that people like you are granted the gift of speech and this is what you do with it. My fucking God you’re lucky you live in a place where it’s considered a right.

          I literally moved to China because it’s better there lmao. Argue better. Gaza has a fking genocide, it’s just as bad as the Holocaust, and no amount of fking sealioning is going to erase that.

              hold on, that makes him 100% qualified to be a tankie, they are literally named after the tool used to intimidate and slaughter uppity dissidents in soviet and sino “communist”(see faschist in red) regimes, mainly because they support these actions.

              so killing innocent civilians is the norm for them.

                  it’s true, I am a CIA chatbot, my programming forces me to admit this whenever called out, there is no way anyone outside of a CIA chatbot could ever criticize a group of people calling themselves left-wing, but following a hyper authoritarian government with a strong penchant for racial/ethnic/religious discrimination, a supposed “communist” nation where workers were paid wages instead of a share, one that routinely had executed the left wing of any place they took control of, but always declared the former nationalists “reformed” after a few months
