Duty to fellow humans? I am homeless, I could not even find a place to let me use their sink to apply lice treatment recently and had to do it outside in the cold at night with a jug of water that ran out leaving lice treatment in my fuvkimg hair. I was fired from a non-profit when my coworker discovered I was homeless. There are more empty homes in America than homeless yet our government won't give us basic shelter. It's legal to discriminate based on homelessness and so so many people do and we cannot even sue.

So why should I owe anything to humanity that has abandoned the poorest humans? Humanity only cares about humanity until it becomes an inconvence to do so.

Oh, I think that will change soon. Few people bother with opening the symbols screen when typing just to say you're instead of your. It's too inconvenient if autocorrect won't do it automatically and language and spelling change based on common usage so I imagine you're will be another old English word in a few decades. I try to speed the change along as much as I can.

"Your" is possessive. So by saying "Your human", it seems like you're talking about "my human" (since "my" is the possessive form of "me").

Of course I knew that you meant "you are" shortened to "you're", but that's why it was a joke, lol
