"...comma cannot help your sentence, it can be trivially fixed ..."

and sorry about that ambiguity, I don't proofread my /. posts nearly enough. Obviously, "it" refers the sentence, not the comma.

Style and vocabulary are not the same. You integrate the vocabulary you see, style is a choice.

I am a professional writer that works in a particular professional style. AI cannot possibly affect that.

The less literate you are, the more convinced of your brilliance you'll be.

I am an engineer, my university literally had a required class called "Engr 101". Among the things taught were exactly this style of writing: write what you mean then simply every possible expression and remove every unneeded word. It was incredibly valuable though context is important. Terse writing isn't good for conveying emotion which engineers are not doing.

If an engineer needed to communicate about socks to a colleague the revised version would be vastly preferred. Grandma may not like it, but then Grandma doesn't need to know the sock arrived, she needs to know you are thinking about her. A point you seem to miss. You never need to "pad your writing" but sometimes you don't know what you need to be saying. Of course, some authors are simply paid by the pound.

While you laugh at the ambiguity, I notice the casual dishonesty that doesn't even register with you. The problem with that sentence isn't whether "lower" is a verb or an adjective.

Also, while the Oxford comma cannot help your sentence, it can be trivially fixed using a same approach that solves the same class of problems the Oxford comma addresses.

"...They are now advocating outright Communism, praising Chairman Mao, etc. I am not a far right person..."
Then you must be a fool. Who is "advocating outright Communism" and "praising Chairman Mao"? Citations please.

The whole idea of "extreme left" and "far right" is a joke, it's just identity politics and it's championed by criminals.

"If you haven't been paying attention to the DSA and their members lately, you might think I am exaggerating. I am not."
No, you're just a moron. There is an enormous difference between "outright Communism", "Chairman Mao" and socialism advocacy.

The new system is simply another set of inputs. You will still get search results even if you don't click on anything. In fact, I would bet that actual user interaction with this new system is going to be very small. Most of the input that Google will get will be people trying to game the system.

I didn't even know about Kagi. In fact, it has been a long time since I have even considered using someone besides Google. I just resigned myself to the idea that things were forever broken. Thanks for the insight.

"Just let me live the life I want to live, by fucking up others' lives way more than the other party may have mildly inconvenienced me for sound policy. Wait, why is this affecting me now?"

It's a tale as old as time.

and they ignore our laws in favour of their own

Well, we can at least tell you learned zero Canadian history.

I live in Ontario, Canada. You're an idiot, and don't speak for me. There are idiots everywhere on the planet. You're one. See you at the polls.

~22% (I'll round it to 25%) of Canadians speak French as a first language, and using rough numbers that would be ~10 million Canadians, which equates to 1/8th of 1% of the world population. If forcing kids to learn a language that ~0% of the world uses seems rational, you've lost the point of education.

I'm unlikely to read anything dumber than this today. French is a single class, its easy. You remind me of when I was in grade 7 and two morons in my class took up the cause to protest that we had to learn the subway stations even tho, in their words, 'they would never use it'. So that's fun, you make the same fundamentally stupid mistake that some grade 7 kids were making about the value of learning things - the point isn't to teach things that you need, the point is to teach you thinks so that you learn how to learn. That French *can* help you if you're not some kind of moron allergic/scared of the greater world is part of the point.

3 Inches of Blood

ROFL. Youre whining about CanCon then complaining about a Canadian band that isn't being played on the radio? The stupidity astounds me. I dunno what small town you're from, but it's doing you no favours.

the fucking country speaks English

I hear French all the time on the streets of Toronto, parents at school, in public transit. I am from Toronto. Despite being from an Anglophone family with two parents who don't speak a lick French, all of my school was in French until I was in grade 6, and then half of it was in French until I was in grade 9. I understand French fluently (although I don't really need to speak it) and I know many other Anglophones who are fluent in it here in Toronto.

You're a moron. Don't talk about things you don't know shit about.

Netflix doesn't "broadcast" anything. Users pull it, if they so desire.

Netflix makes content available, and they choose what is available, based on the geographic location of the person watching it. Doesn't sound much like a pull model to me. The ask of Cancon is simply to regulate that there's a particular balance of Canadian produced content. Suggesting Cancon is about regulating the balance of consumption belies the fundamental stupidity at the base of your argument.

And oh, when's the last time you saw the majority of US media (incl Hollywood, to look at the bastion of American cultural power) saying /nice/ things about the US?

Literally any time it would improve their bottom line? What are you, an idiot? Your entire post sure makes it sound that way.

Your timetable is way too aggressive. Yes, plant life will eventually die from lack of CO2 - but that's expected to be no earlier than around 400 million years from now - and possibly as far as 1 billion.
