I don't think that was a requirement. That's "vagabond."Didn't hobo have a traveling or drifter element do it
It was formal, high style.
The common folk didn't really talk in the high style.
I agree a 10000 % that language changes.
Here is the deal with pronouns.
They are there to streamline communication.
Once we start saying the pronoun is what ever you want it to be, it becomes like a proper noun: you eliminate its ability to streamline communication.
In that case you might as well just use proper nouns. That is what I am training my self to do, but it is less efficient.
I do like using the streamlined method because I've grooved that pattern, but it's not worth fighting over.
To me it's expression of the trend for everyone to demand accomodation.
Does thou understandth me?
It seems like there’s a way bigger homeless problem than there was a bum problem, at least in the big cities
I’m not sure who got political gain on that one, but probably not the bums

Didn't you try to join a young men's organization looking for brotherly love and acceptance only to find out it was an extremist group?
Cereal can be made of bugs too.
(and yes, it's still fucking funny)
There’s a entire cottage industry built around homelessness. Contractors that grift the housing funds and never build anything. Liquor stores. Grocery stores in downtown areas that collect the food stamps. Non profits who’s funding is based on homelessness being a problem. The list goes on.
Similar to Asians previously known as oriental
Or before that chinamen
there probably were relatively few people that were that upset about the word oriental. But for the benefit of the ones who wanted to be referred to as asian,we changed
Older people fought it
My mother in law still said oriental, but that generation is dying quickly
Like gender. Or the definition of recession, or vaccine. And, soon, the definition of famine. All is transitory, like inflation.
Which ones have you fought?
Yes like gender
Maybe gender is how somebody sees themself and sex is what genitals they were born with or maybe what they currently have
who the fvck cares?
i’m not really fighting social stuff
But I’d fight for universal healthcare coverage
Why care about anything, really, amiright?
Universal healthcare isn’t social? Sounds like you’ve picked no battles. Who cares, right? You’re here to wave the white flag and make sure no one cares, but you care that people care about gender and social issues when they shouldn’t care. You’ve picked this battle at least.
No, I do t really care what others think
It doesn’t matter to me what they think
I don’t understand why it matters to them
language will continue to evolve. Maybe the meaning of gender changes. Maybe it doesn’t
I don’t care.
I don’t know why any cares.
