@_bass_head_ @Masqueradesys @Hear24B @BadMedicalTakes Asexuality is about sexual attraction to other people-- it can be separate from libido and physiological arousal and enjoyment of sex. Some aces don't like sex but some do.
English
@Masqueradesys @Hear24B @BadMedicalTakes I’m just a neutral observer reading comments and I’m curious if you can expand on this at all. I’m genuinely just looking to learn.
English
@LWVancouver @BadMedicalTakes It's similar to "if we don't test for Covid, cases will go down". Mammograms lead to cancer dx, they think that means mmgs *cause* cancer that then can be removed for $$$...
English
@BadMedicalTakes I’m confused….why do they hate actual diagnosis equipment and treatment for cancer? It’s all about their holier than thou clean eating? Why did she even go have the lump looked at? Shouldn’t they just stay home and manage?

@susan_finley @VaxxersAnti Probably last menstrual period (aka pregnancy timing)

In Canada, the only financial bitching would have been the hospital charging $10/day for parking.
American health care is nuts.

@CLoingsigh @BonafiniLisa @SNeurotypicals word nerd time! That change would be early if ever; apple traces back to Proto-Germanic *ap(a)laz from PIE *ab(e)l -- but is fun story regardless
semi relatedly, cherry, like pea, is a false singular (cherise and pease being singular but sounding plural)
English
@BonafiniLisa @SNeurotypicals I think apple underwent the same change from napple.
English
@BorisOgon @frontsideaway @BadMedicalTakes Technically it is! Just Greekly. >> 1896, from German menarche (1895), from Greek men (genitive menos) "month" (see moon (n.)) + arkhē "beginning" (verbal noun of arkhein "to be the first;" see archon).
English
@simulflow @LSaffrey @VaxxersAnti I guess Grey's Anatomy minus medical issues would be lots of sex 😂

Anti-vaxxers don't like medical dramas because they show medical stuff

@AcidlyHonest @jonathanstea Also IIRC he invented the "evidence" to push *his own* MMR vaccine ... almost like the whole thing was a grift...
English
“Post hoc ergo propter hoc” is one of the most powerful fallacies of human logic.
It also features prominently in both alternative medicine and anti-vaccine beliefs.

The anti vaccine movement started because people aren’t stupid. They watch their kids suffer. They notice a drastic change in their child after that “wellness visit” at the pediatrician. They watched grandpa die right after the Covid jab. You can blab all day long about “the science”, all blatant lies. Period.

Denise provides a Masterclass in cramming the maximum amount of batshit into the least amount of space.

@drdbird1 @VaxxersAnti Denise is antivax; do you mean Alicia? (The name in the upper left is the poster; the name at the beginning of the content is who they're replying to. The highlighted post is written by Denise.)

@redman0124 @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged It's not "until death", it's "until [death parts us]"
Also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_and… "The topic of a sentence is distinct from the grammatical subject"
Please educate yourself; I'm done here.
English
@isabeautiful @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged Man bites dog is completely different. Until death is atime frame, or event not the subject. The subject are those involved. A better example, until noon we aren't eating... Noon isn't the subject it's the time. Smh...
English
@redman0124 @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged Sir, grammatical subject != topic.
"Man bites dog", man is subject. "Dog is bitten by man", dog is subject. Same meaning.
English largely doesn't mark case. Pronouns are the exception. It's "I smiled at her" not "Me smiles at she". And death parts "us" not "we".
English
@isabeautiful @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged They are what is being parted, literally the subject of the sentence...
English
@redman0124 @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged "They being parted" is potentially grammatical but isn't what the poster says.
English
@isabeautiful @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged And you rearranged the words in your sentence. When you put the word "part" ahead of them, it makes sense. Being in a poetic syntax as, as you claim, "they being parted" is still accurate.
English
@redman0124 @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged The original is "till death do us part", which means "until death separates us". So my rearrangement didn't change the meaning.
"They being parted" has a different verb, *and therefore a different grammatical subject* and a different meaning. Death parts them/us != they/we part
English
@redman0124 @Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged It's a nonstandard / poetic syntax, meaning "until death parts us/them". It's not about the action word (part); "do" is the primary verb.
Death is the subject; those being parted are the object. Hence 'us' and not 'we'.
English
@Roses4noses @badjano @airbagged You need someone to proofread for you. The action word before the pronoun makes the difference. I parted them. They parted. You wouldn't say "Him left."
English
@BadMedicalTakes By that logic he's way too old; best to leave sex-having to the young men still in their golden hour. Doesn't matter how he feels about it, nature says he's reproductively expired.
English
@BadMedicalTakes which... a) if men have one too why bring it up; b) men have urethral openings; c) you don't get pregnant thru urethra; d) what about people who can't do either; e) biology is not a hard binary
English
@BadMedicalTakes They went on to "clarify":
when i say urethra i am js talking abt the hole. i know men have one too. if u want me to say it better. You're a female if you can get pregnant and a male if you can get someone pregnant.
English
@BadMedicalTakes Obviously not having a functioning urethra is why only men go to urologists /s
