Nowhere near as triggered as when I read people misusing the word "ironic" for the billionth time. "I unironically went to sleep". How the fuck do you go to sleep ironically?

People could just accept those words lost their original meaning. You guys do this with other words constantly, especially slang.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

I think it's weird that people who otherwise have no problem with hyperbole literally lose their shit when "literally" is used hyperbolically.

These type of nerds is what I refer to as "technical" nerds. The ones that try to technically correct everything and only understands things at a complete face value. They aren't able to grasp implication and inferences. It's like any form of vagueness will confuse the shit out of them.
