  • Correct but impeachment is the first step towards removing from office. I'd still prefer the House impeach those deserving of removal and it failing in the Senate rather than the House just shrugging it off entirely because people expect the Senate won't follow through.

  • Sex becomes inconsistent or dead bedroom.

    Studies show that coupled persons on average have more sex than singles. I'm on Mobile and many of the sites I'm getting in search results are badly formatted a butt load of popups and shit so I don't want to link them.

    What's yours is hers and what's hers is hers.

    That just sounds like an unhealthy relationship in general, not something to do with marriage. Shared property is a financial benefit of marriage. One of the many marital rights that the LGBTQ+ community had long fought for equality over. If you're phrasing in a "lost everything in the divorce" context, then there's always pre-nuptial agreements. You need to enter a relationship with well communicated expectations and goals. Planning out how the eventual divorce will go before you're even married sounds like manifesting failure to me.

    Your hobbies aren't as important at times.

    Again, clearly communicated goals and expectations. Someone expecting you to give up cero hobbies is something you should know before the relationship is that serious. You naturally shifting your priorities away from a hobby of your own choice also isn't a negative regardless of relationship status.

  • I can see how someone literally putting the word "period" at the of a sentence gives it a certain tone. But the meaning of a period is that the sentence is ended.

  • It’s the explicit inclusion of period where ‘normally’ there wouldn’t be one.

    But given the larger history of textual communication, full punctuation is normal. Texting isn't charged per character so it's not like there's a benefit to leaving it out.

  • First off, thanks for humoring me.

    As I explained later in the post, “Great.” looks like sarcasm. My brain interprets it as having a sarcastic tone, and thus being passive aggressive. (I am not alone in this, hence the very thing we’re commenting on.)

    I get that it's a common interpretation amongst a demographic.

    You might as well ask why tone of voice changes the way we interpret things

    Eh, vocal changes carry actual physical changes in the sound waves which non-hearing-impaired persons can perceive, so I don't quite think it's an apt comparison. But I understand your intent in doing so.

    But of course these norms aren’t as readily understood as actual tone of voice, which is why things like “/s” can be useful.

    Precisely why it seems odd to me to interpret the use of the basic of punctuation whose literary meaning hasn't ever carried an absence of express indicator of emotional intent to be negative.

    Again, thanks for engaging with me on it, even though I still don't get it.

  • and my dad replies, “Great.” That looks passive aggressive

    What about it makes it look passive aggressive? How would excluding punctuation make it not look passive aggressive?
