Isn't "I" also a pronoun? Making this sentence 2/3 pronouns.

At least that's how it works in my native tongue.

Dang, the pronoun discussion has lead me to forget that pronouns include I, we and they. I'll make use of this.

"What are your pronouns?"

"I / me"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"They" is preferred for people unsure which or none. I think if you tell them you're hung and have the right the jeans, it's all good.

That’s John assuming Jesus’s pronouns.

I usually think grammatical gender is pretty useless in Indo European languages, with most of them having to gender a washing machine, but afro Asiatic ones have a fun additional quirk: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_of_gender

Essentially the numbers have to be the opposite gender of whatever it's married to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You're just jealous because english does not have grammatical gender.

This is wild! I have heard many crazy shit but this is new to me

Isn't the capital H in He referring to God? Ie: "I am God". Making it a noun (person, place or thing) rather than a pronoun in this instance?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverential_capitalization

Edited to add: “He” is still a pronoun, regardless of capitalization.

Looking this passage up the "he" is not capitalized in the several I checked.

Deuteronomy 13:12

And He said, 'the warming of the Earth shall not come to pass, for The Lord hath given thee Monster Trucks to roam its flat surface.' And they believed him, for He was pandering, and they would believe anything to feel they owned the Libs

America was not in the Bible. Hot Dogs were not in the Bible. Fireworks were not in the Bible. The constitution was not in the Bible. The second amendment was not in the Bible.

If these things are so good, yada yada..

My mother also talked about how one of the disciples died by being crucified upside down. Not only is this not in the Bible, the particular piece of literature describing the event never actually said he died.

I started enjoying the Bible in the same capacity someone enjoys Lord of the Rings or Dune. In doing so, I’ve 1) found it easier to read, and 2) found some certified gangster moments, like David holding up a piece of cloth to Saul and essentially going “coulda killed you in your sleep, biatch”

I’m digressing. Point is, these people have never actually read the Bible. They pretend to have, but they haven’t. To be fair, it’s a piece of literature so dense it makes Shakespeare look like Flake chocolate, but fuck..

Tbf that's a low bar these days

Yeah, that's actually what I pointed it out to illustrate.

They're running people dumber than the contestants of Fuckboy Island and with fewer scruples than the contestants of i dunno, Survivor? 🤷

A great example is Elise Stefanik:

5 years ago, basically nobody outside of her district had ever heard of her.

Then she ignored reality more blatantly and more obnoxiously at the hearings preceding one of Trump's impeachments than anyone except maybe Gym Jordan and Mark Meadows and people started talking about how she's "a rising star of the Republican Party"

Now she's the chair of the House Republican Conference and one of the favorites for the Mango Mussolini's VP pick 🤦

Smells like a case of Cunningham's Law.

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

Technically he's not necessarily wrong unless we can find proof of someone saying such things about Jedus

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You severely underestimate the abject idiocy of conservatives.

Only demons use pronouns:

My name is legion and my pronouns are they/them

This cute boy served me a beer today at the bar. He liked me and told me was FTM. I came in my pants for Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Jesus, no he wasn't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Jesus be like

I am him.
