can’t withhold a vote because policy won’t change because if it did people would withhold their vote and then the policy would change

it’s not a mistake because it’s not a real rule

This isn’t an example of how modern English is going to the dogs. Less has been used this way for well over a thousand years—nearly as long as there’s been a written English language. But for more than 200 years almost every usage writer and English teacher has declared such use to be wrong. The received rule seems to have originated with the critic Robert Baker, who expressed it not as a law but as a matter of personal preference. Somewhere along the way—it’s not clear how—his preference was generalized and elevated to an absolute, inviolable rule.

one less thing for you to worry about

But NFTs aren’t wasteful.

i feel this take is a pretty good justification not to care about your opinion on things

the democrat party will lose if a segment of their voter base abstains from voting

and

the democrat platform can afford to completely ignore a segment of their voter base so doesn’t need to adjust their platform

are two mutually exclusive positions

  • nfts are wasteful
  • your justification for ai not being a wasteful use of resources is that you personally use them
  • people still use nfts

pick a quote that you know by heart

so step 1 is actually “learn a long, obscure quote by heart” because obviously it can’t be a common quote or it completely breaks the method, and the only quotes you’re likely to know are common

you’re right this is so easy

you’re still confusing the example with what it exemplifies.

In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn’t add any meaningful entropy.

At this rate it’s rather clear that you’re unable to parse simple sentences,

somebody’s a little spicy over the fact that they gave terrible advice :(
