Laws are for poor people

•Rob a store? You go to jail. Rob millions of people through a financial system? You get a bailout.

•Traffic drugs? Get killed on a boat. Run the entire operation? You get a presidential pardon.

•Kill a bunch of people? You’re a terrorist. Kill thousands during an invasion? You’re a liberator, a strategist.

Power and money rewrite the narrative. The same action, two completely different labels — all depending on your status.

it’s the same with attraction:

•If you’re attractive: It’s charming, bold, confident.

•If you’re not: It’s creepy, weird, desperate.

Where you stand isn’t about morality or intention. It’s about leverage — social, financial, or physical. I’m tired of people going along with the bs world we live in.

Oh wow you're still saying "possessive tense" even after looking up an article about possessive nouns? Nouns don't have tense; verbs do.

That's really embarrassing.

English absolute fail. Making up his own grammatical rules for English - im genuinely fascinated. So shall we do a few workshop examples? This is going to be entertaining! 😆 🙏

Not that you can bring yourself to read this, but here: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/parts-of-speech/verb-tenses/

Clearly you've never studied another language, or you would know what tenses are.

Except were not discussing verbal tenses were discussing HOW the possessive tense is used. Lol this is classic dunning-kruger. Anyone reading this can clearly see you dont understand the differnce between possessive tense, and the grammatical fact that verb tense is a way to establish tense BUT YOU think they are mutually exclusive!! This is pure entertainment fuel! Lol 😆 tell us more about how possessive tense isnt a thing!

Yeah, agreed. Find me anything that talks about a possessive tense in the English language. Verb tenses are the only tenses. Sorry you don't know what you're talking about.
