Shout out to Realicide fans. Thanks for turning my philosophical beliefs into a tumblr sexyman. I want his outfit. I want to put him in the microwave.
Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.
I know it's ~cringe~ and unacceptable, but a lot of voters are very much on board with "I love my country and want to make it better even though it's done some bad shit" moreso than any kind of active denigration and hatred of the country, and the former is more positive and effective. And I think that's what's helping Kamala a lot, in spite of the twitterati and punditariat. People want to not feel exhausted and drained and hopeless about the future.
Is 2+2 four or five? I need to settle an argument between me and this guy I have a manipulative friendship with. Please hurry there’s a lot of homoerotic tension
Wordiness is when a sentence contains words that, if removed (or replaced with a shorter alternative), convey the same message and remain grammatically correct. It may happen when you use more words than necessary within a sentence, especially short, vague words that do not add much meaning.
Omit unnecessary words by using a "who does what" construction (Take out: it is, there is, there are, which, that, this, and self-references such as in my opinion, I think, it seems to me.)
Wordy: It was a night that was dark and freezing when the ship Titanic was struck by an iceberg.
Better: An iceberg struck the Titanic on a dark and freezing night.
Avoid too many abstract and difficult words
Wordy: “Conservatism is the paradigm of essences toward which the phenomenology of the world is in continuing approximation” (William Buckley, Jr.).
Better: Conservativism is the belief in absolute values whose expression change with the times.
Shorten sentences by rearranging ideas
Wordy: The president of the school board that presides over Dade County schools is accepting of the participation of students in alternative classes of their choice.
Better: The Dade County School Board president allows student to choose electives.
Omit repetitious words and ideas
Wordy: The cookies are baking in the oven. The cookies are chocolate chip.
Concise: The chocolate chip cookies are baking in the oven.
