Megatron think megatron of the Bay12 community have reached a new level of insanity. Like, more so than usual for megatron.
Megatron am correct. Megatron was right the whole time! Megatron agree with you, the megatron of this whole entire WORLD is insane!
...I hereby propose that we replace the pronoun Megatron with Waspinator.
Waspinator regrets that post waspinator made in the ooc thread. This doesn't work at all.
And now, Megatron propose that Megatron revert it back to megatron.

I propose I change all I pronouns to I, because I can't see why I would have a need for I pronouns.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Putnam, I love how much information you provide.  And I hate that you far outdo me at it.  On the whole, thanks.

But seriously, it's great to see that my favorite pronoun has such an established history.  I thought it was more like 100 years old.

Yeah, Chaucer's the most common counterargument in favor of singular-they.

Amusingly enough given your statement, it's the effort to shift usage from "they" to "he" which is about a century old (a bit more, now; it started in the mid-late 1800s).

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

My hair keeps shooting out the front of my hoodie!
Also apparently the singular of "hoodies" is "hoodie" not "hoody"
Even though it's an adjectivization of - aw dangit apparently "adjectivization" isn't a word either.  At least according to Firefox.

But yeah, the only way to tuck this thing at all is to take the hoodie off and put it back on.  Then avoid *nodding*, because that summons TEH HAIR.

Maybe hoodies aren't meant for people with hair past their shoulders...  ):

Who claims to be fighting for men's rights but is more focused on how women are the physical incarnation of the devil.

It would be like calling yourself feminist and doing nothing but talking about how men are terrible.

You have much wisdom.  It (the natural hood) truly does keep mine ears warm in this cold winter.
