  • I’m no grammar nerd but I think the comma makes “sex” an adjective, which should make me able to say that the drug-infested dens are “sex”. this says a comma only splits coordinate adjectives, which can be swapped and where the latter does not form a common union with the noun, which means that even if “sex” were an adjective, the comma implies it can be swapped to make “sex, drug-infested dens” (single noun phrase), which it can’t because sex is not an adjective.

    Edit: this proof by contradiction doesn’t quite work because adjectives have a preferred order by category of what they mean, and being coordinate doesn’t mean they are in the same category.







  • I need to know: Is that parenthesized bit a big exaggeration, do you mean you didn’t want to anymore, was it very long, or are there actually people for which porn takes on some infohazard-like quality where they can’t stop themselves so much that it’s actually exhausting? It’s not really your shame but all these cryptic allusions everyone here is making make me feel really out of touch.
