I would think it's extremely unusual if he used a more modern tone and vocabulary.
I don’t know that I’d find that unusual, either, honestly. Judging by the bullet memes, he was clearly very “online.”
People are complicated. It’s convenient and very tempting to put everyone into neat boxes, but individuals often don’t fit into those boxes. Not completely.
In a world where very few things are binary and most things are spectrums, nuance is generally a good policy.
Why not? You didn’t know anyone in college who liked to speak differently sometimes, whether for fun, to be ironic, or to be flowery and “romantic”? People are figuring out who they are in college, some people do stuff other people might consider weird. That type of language doesn’t shock me at all.
If I had to take a guess, it’s about perceived tone. Connotation becomes extremely important in online discourse.
Rather than “No. Here is the rest of what I have to say,” I recommend “Nah, here is the rest of what I have to say.”
It’s a lot less forceful, more conversational.
Careful. Confirmation bias makes it exceptionally easy to come up with reasons to disbelieve things that don’t fit what we presume about a topic.
I think it’s fair to say we don’t know the shooter’s motivations for sure. Being confident that the shooter was far right just because his family is seems just as terrible a conclusion to jump to. How many of us have conservative families we disagree with?
I guess they have to change the lyric in The Book of Mormon the Musical again.
Yeah, the vehicle in question definitely screams “PoC” and not “white fucknugget.” /s
My point is the greta derrangement syndrome you only care about the flotilla when she is there and she is not you don't care
It’s not that people don’t care. It’s that people don’t know. That’s my entire point. Media pays more attention because a name people know is involved.
If people aren’t talking about it, other people won’t hear about it. That’s why “famous” people get involved, to bring attention to it.
“Greta derangement syndrome”?
Yuuuuup. And if I’m stuck on my phone, repeatedly opening Voyager, remembering I need to do something, closing it, then opening it again, I can hit play on my audiobook or podcast. Then I get up and go do stuff.
I dunno, have you tried the Reese’s collab?
Same as you guys. You where nowhere to be found when the last one without her tried to break the siege
I’m sorry I, a random dude in the Midwest, didn’t know about a thing happening in the Mediterranean that no one told me about. I’m so ashamed. /s
What exactly is your point?
A sleeper is something else though, sort of the opposite of a ricer. A sleeper Honda Civic would look largely unmodded but be a monster under the hood. A ricer Honda Civic is gonna have a wing and loud, giant exhaust and other very obvious modifications.
Personally I love a heavily modified Japanese car, and in my experience of car culture, “ricer” has largely been reclaimed by the people who drive them.
