  • There is an epidemic of people mixing up the usage of the words “is” and “are”. Use “are” as the general catchall word.

    For third person singular subjects use “is”.

    There is a game. There are games.

    Uncountable things use “is”.

    There is the forest. There are the trees.

    Are there people? Is there a person.

    Are we there yet. Is our destination close?

    If the subject uses a definite number use “are”.

    The team is going to the game.

    The fourteen players are going to the game.










  • Codeday Hackathon back in high school.

    So were all a bit awkward at socializing because we’ve had less practice at it. Add onto this the fear that women feel due to bad men, and the worry that the good men feel about being perceived as one of the bad men and it gets difficult. My advice is to stop worrying about romance for a little bit and let it come to you.

    Focus on becoming more social in non romantic ways; it’s a lot easier.

    If your not at the point of maturity that you can be platonic friends with a straight woman (not knocking you just some straight people aren’t especially if they’re love starved), then try and befriend a local lesbian, they can teach you a lot about women’s perspectives.

    You’ll eventually find that women, by in large, are just people born into a certain set of circumstances. It wont be easy, but once you are confident in your own skin and stop worrying romance will probably find you. Good luck!

    The problem here is structural. For president especially a 3rd party candidate is nothing more than a spoiler. It’s less so if they can win for the house or senate. I would whole heartedly agree with you if the Us had a parliamentary or ranked choice. But we don’t and until we do; with the demo crates it’s a slightly more likely, then just vote for the least fascist that has a chance to win. Use your 3rd party vote in the primaries.




  • Sometimes you’re overwhelmed, and that’s ok, if the person is toxic then it’s ok to ghost them. However, if you just don’t enjoy their conversation, or have better things to do, as an adult you have the moral obligation to let them know you’re not going to be responding. It’s as easy as “I’m busy so won’t be able to respond to messages as frequently”. It’s not hard, and it’s nice, and it keeps people from feeling sad. If they react to that message in a bad way then that’s on them.

    Edit(this does depend on communication style though, I have some friends that we just send each other messages every few months like pen pals in days of yore)
