Im not a Bible scholar. I have always taken the distinction between abolish and fulfill here to be, I’m not here to say the old law was wrong and so let’s get rid of it, I’m here to say we have completed the period of time for which the old law was right, and we have a new way going forward for this new time.

I understand where you’re coming from broadly with your thesis, and I agree with you more than I want to. The above line struck me, though, because The Left writ large at least has been trying to communicate and attempting diplomacy with our Bugs for decades, and especially lately it’s become essentially useless.

I saw the reply in my inbox and had a reaction to “females” there, like “ugh, not one of THESE folks who still talk like that.” Because I didn’t remember the nature of this thread until I got back into the comments :)
Bonus points if you instead say she is being hysterical.
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump Booed at U.S. Open Men’s Final Match1·10 days agoAs bitjunkie said, if you were referring to 90s in the possessive, it would be 90s’ since it’s a plural noun already - much like parents’ mortgages or stores’ buildings.
That said, I would probably look at the phrase “90s child” as either (1) a compound noun not needing anything to be possessive (like “ice cream”), or (2) with “90s” as an adjective modifying “child” (like “latchkey kid”).
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump Booed at U.S. Open Men’s Final Match3·11 days ago'90s is a contraction of 1990s, or whatever other century’s tenth decade is implied. So the apostrophe belongs as an example of a contraction or possessive :)
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump Booed at U.S. Open Men’s Final Match9·11 days agoPartly its about reminding his supporters and the neutrals that the people who actively dislike him really do exist. One of their talking points around election fraud/denialism is the idea that there just aren’t enough voters against Trump to justify the votes, because that’s what they’re told.
Granted, they’re also told that people like these booers are all paid actors. Paid by whom, and how do they keep anyone from blabbing about these arrangements?
Anyway, every person who gets splintered off from the Trump Train is a win, so push every way you can.
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump Booed at U.S. Open Men’s Final Match18·11 days agoBasically apostrophes are never used to separate a word from a normal suffix in this kind of novel or unusual construction. Pretty much just use apostrophes for contractions and (most) possessives. Example: 90s, not 90’s.
–
Edit: In English, for English words. Some languages, either those normally rendered in Latin script* or transliterated into it**, make use of apostrophes either to modify an adjacent phoneme or to indicate particular sounds or a glottal stop.
* English-like letters and punctuation
** Like Japanese written as if it were English, for example “Ohayo gozaimasu” which is written in hiragana as おはようございま.

Edit2: Others point out (correctly) that referencing the 1990s as a decade would be properly written as '90s, which is still a use of an apostrophe for a contraction.

Not in any way /meaning/ to defend them, but I think the argument is that multiple of the 4 characteristics (speaking Spanish, looking Hispanic, certain jobs, I forget the 4th) taken together is supposedly justification, but not any given one of them alone.
