I have spent the last couple of months at work attempting to teach rudimentary fucking english to privately-educated brits who literally cannot cope without chatgpt as an interface in human interaction. how about the brits focus on getting themselves a-level english first?

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

if you argue that riffing on the Bible is tantamount to fanfiction you:
- don’t understand fanfiction
- don’t understand what literature is
- should not be left unsupervised with books
