Hoopy is a noun not an adjective

I know this is just being picky about semantics and I don't write it to criticize anyone (myself maybe actually).

"A line that has crossed into hitchhiking slang as in, 'Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is. ' Sass means know, be aware of, meet, have sex with... Hoopy means really together guy, and frood means really amazingly together guy."

I understand that the Y at the end makes it an easy mistake, and I also accept that language changes as time goes on by its very nature. That said, every time I see someone say, "you're a hoopy frood" I get my panties un a bunch because there is literally a definition.

I have had people argue that I am wrong on this. That blew my mind. I will die on this hill if pushed.

The more important thing is that people have vocabularies that are shaped by and pay homage to DNA. If you use it as an adjective, I am not calling you out. I am offering the canon because I have nothing better to do.

I already figured out where all my biros I lost got to. Open to suggestions on how best to spend my time.

Safe discussion spaces

I know there is not much outside of signal, but I am getting super annoyed at all of these judgemental but impractical so called leftists throwing around theory with vim and vigor that effectively further divided us against a common goal.

I can't say what I really think without being deleted, flagged, or effectively supplying the state with more excuses to "neutralize" me ( I believe that is the president memo term) than I already have.

Is there any safe platform ?

This feels so futile sometimes.

I had to relocate 2500 miles because reasons already because praxis ... I know no one here and struggling to find community so I end up on reddit getting annoyed at people whose theory I agree with but application of which makes me nauseous. It is very hard to offer my perspective without making it very easy to get .,. Into another bad spot.

Help ? Platforms? Places ?

I am happy to pay my dues and share my credentials and such somewhere safe.

I had to give up everything I knew over this and to give up now would make me feel like embarking into the other equally sanctioned but at least immediately pleasurable world I know even better. That is easy to find .
