You make very good joke

Haha, what language keyboarð you typing on? ;)

I have to say, thank you for bringing this up and to people’s attention and for explaining it so succinctly, you have helped me greatly in understanding the nuance of the situation.

This sentiment breaks my heart because I share the excitement of schadenfreude/validation too, but my heart sinks because this feeling will drain us completely over the next 8 years.

Thank you for the PSA. I really just wish young men could get outside their own heads for a second and really think of how they come across/envision themselves and how would they would really feel and act in the reverse situation.

I’m sorry about your dad. It’s so heartbreaking to see the people we love who’ve cherished their brains have to live with reduced capacity.

I find his reliance on “big league” an interesting verbal crutch, because it’s somewhat resonant of my mother, a smart woman whose first language was not English.
