which is nothing?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

There's always something you can do, even if that something is just staying informed.

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I needed that today, thank you

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

yeah but what do I do if I can't do anything and I am expected to do something

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

do what you can. If that means saying you can't, then stand up for yourself and say no

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Do what you can because the kid said a double negative, meaning he can do something.

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 1 points 9 months ago

Depends on the dialect. For example in AAVE double negatives don't negate (iirc).

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 9 months ago

It's contextual, just like in all other forms of English.

The "no double negatives" rule is a fake standard that stuffy Romeaboos tried to tack on to the language, just like they did with not ending sentences with prepositions.

So the next time someone tries to correct a double negative, or tells you not to end a sentence with a preposition, call them a neofascist and punch them in the face.
