Simpsons screenshot where Flanders and a woman are wearing berets and the woman is shrugging and saying "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" both look distraught

Every woman must be presented as an object or these "gamers" have a tantrum. Over half of the human population, with all of its beauty and variation, basically doesn't exist to them. It's really something. I would feel bad for them if they weren't so repulsive.

The rule is that you end with the question mark inside the quote even in the sentence is not a question. You are usually supposed to put a comma before the quote begins though. For example:

The question asked was, "How is this correct?"

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

I know that in American grammar conventions the punctuation mark is always supposed to go inside quotations, but I think in many cases it's nonsensical and looks bad so I don't do it. You could call me a member of "grammar antifa" if you like.

The CEO of SpaghettiOs hates it when you forget to capitalize the "O". He's willing to "get physical" over it.

They call him Jared "Leto" because they "let" him star in movies over and over even though the films make everyone say "O this movie bad"

This new "Gogurt" is proof that our society is sick. Children should not have to eat their yogurt "on the go"! Let the children take their time with the yogurt, Kids should be kids, they shouldn't be "hustling"

OCR alt text for you (I love this book and Sacks’ work in general)

Photo of page of HALLUCINATIONS by Oliver Sacks
“…that day I found my hand trembling visibly, embarrassingb,
and the anatomical names were slow in coming to mind.
When the session ended, I went across the road, as I often did, for a cup of coffee and a sandwich. As I was stirring the coffee, it suddenly turned green, then purple. I looked up, star. tled, and saw that a customer paying his bill at the cash regis. ter had a huge proboscidean head, like an elephant seal. Panic seized me; I slammed a five-dollar note on the table and ran across the road to a bus on the other side. But all the passengers on the bus seemed to have smooth white heads like giant eggs, with huge glittering eyes like the faceted compound eyes of insects their eyes seemed to move in sudden jerks, which increased the feeling of their fearfulness and alienness. I realized that I was hallucinating or experiencing some bizarre perceptual disorder, that I could not stop what was happening in my brain, and that I had to maintain at least an external control and not panic or scream or become catatonic, faced by the bug-eyed monsters around me. The best way of doing this, I found, was to write, to describe the hallucination in clear, almost clinical detail, and, in so doing, become an observer, even an explorer, not a helpless victim of the craziness inside me. I am never without pen and notebook, and now I wrote for dear life, as wave after wave of hallucination rolled over me.
Description, writing, had always been my best way of dealing with complex or frightening situations though it had never been tested in so terrifying a situation. But it worked; by describing what was going on in my lab notebook, I managed to maintain a semblance of control, though the hallucinations continued, mutating all the while.
managed somehow to get off at the right bus stop and onto the train, even though everything was now in motion, whirl”
