I inserted a comma to make my meaning more clear, I hope. I'm not a native speaker so sorry if it was ambiguous

When I was young, I was poor. But after decades of hard work, I'm not young anymore.

Actually it's older than people think. Shakespeare used it for stuff like "Every knight grabbed their sword", and even for talking about a specific person it's not a new phenomenon to use singular they if the gender doesn't matter (so I was told in a linguistics sub over on r*ddit when I insisted it was new)

The only new thing is that people say, it's their prefered pronoun.

The joke is that many, if not most, English dialects merge /ʌ/ with schwa but insist that the sounds are different because schwa is never stressed

The joke is that there actually is a book with that name arguing for a centralized planed economy. The argument goes that in capitalism, actually everything is planed too so why not switch to democratically planed instead

In which part are you with OP? That UBI is a good thing or that rent isn't and landlords are leeches?

Sure it's your name or did you even steal his identity? I'm just asking questions, not implying anything.

Totally relatable! As you already pointed out, it's the "a day" part. I like listening to the radio but I talked to a former car radio tester who said that his car radio is never on and he enjoys the silence. It's one thing to do stuff you like when you want to, maybe even binge, and another to have a schedule.

I started programming at school and when I studied computer science, another student asked me after the first semester what I'm going to program on vacation. I stared at them and said I have vacation. Now I programm full time and barely in my free time.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
