Rereading your comment, I should clarify. "can" is not a clause, it is the main verb. The main sentence reads "I can write well". "and do" is a clause added in, which can be set off by commas (it's not required); if it is, it needs a comma before and after it.

The second comma is not part of the main sentence. It is part of the clause, which needs it to show the end of the clause. Eliminating the clause without eliminating the second comma makes as much sense as eliminating the clause without eliminating the first comma.

I can, and do write well.

"I can, and do, write well."

For great justice!

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

Well, they'll find a way to get people who don't even want to engage in the stupid stuff.

"Want to sell your used crap? Well, we killed off craigslist and all other competition, so we're the only game in town. Now that you're logged in to sell your rollerblades, here's a ragebait post that will anger you enough to respond to".

I don't even think it's about addiction.

Give someone anything appealing, they'll want it. Be it tasty food, or comfort shorts videos. You suck them in to eat the whole bag of chips, or spend 2 hours swiping down. I don't know whether that's addiction, or hypnosis, or pandering to a procrastination and not wanting do to something, so you just "kill time".

And now that Facebook Marketplace pretty much killed off craigslist, I have to submit a full head scan to facebook to open an account to sell my used bicycle.

Quite the reality we're building for ourselves, like you said, Papiere bitte.

The warning is from you yourself using social media. If you cannot figure out the dangers, then you shouldn't have the responsibility of raising a kid.

Oh well, you capitalized the wrong word in your sick burn... it was a good try, though, for you.

You know you're free not to use Apple Maps.

What's that? Apple built a service that's very useful to you? Almost irreplaceable? One would imagine they should be able to profit from it. But alas, you want to tell them how much they should be able to profit from it.

Well, you can already do that, by not using Apple Maps. Like with your iPhone SE, vote with your wallet instead of heavy handedly deciding everyone's compensation.

The male/female ratio in China isn't that skewed, it's something like 106:100. A lot of it is probably the same thing you see in every other country, where both men and women lose social skills and have unrealistic standards of what kind of partner they are entitled to.

Sometimes they don't watch TikTok?

Right-wingers have been loudly cheering the inevitable economic downfall of California for years as its economy continues to grow. It must be so infuriating to them that Commiefornia just keeps getting richer.

"After 9 years as a US citizen, he could run for the US Senate. He would be 76 (or 74) years old.In short, it looks highly unlikely that he could (or even would) run for the US Senate."

Yeah, he would be way too young for our Senate.
