  • I'd be willing to wager these people also exhibit telltale signs of anti-social personality disorders. Who woulda thunk, that anti-social people would be antithetical to society?

  • I don't think that it's been proven that reading makes you more empathetic, I think that there has been a correlation established between those who exhibit empathy and enjoying fiction (or at least narratives where you adopt another perspective).

    I think it would be almost impossible to prove that reading improves empathy, but I wouldn't be surprised if the part of your brain responsible for empathy gets a workout when reading fiction.

  • It's more along the lines of the comma is too weak for the pause. Likewise, there are places where the em dash is too strong for the pause.

  • Amusingly enough, one use case for em dashes is a pause where a comma would be too weak — refuting your assertion.

    Also, you used a hyphen.

  • Great example of say the same thing enough times, eventually someone will believe you. I this case, 'gubmint don't work'.

  • Fuck Alaska too, mosquitoes the size of hornets

  • It literally says this in the article
