You’re right. There’s no actual rule in English that you can’t split infinitives. It was copied over from Latin in an attempt to try to come up with some rules for grammar.

I’m buying stock in iron lung manufacturing when RFK bans vaccines and polio comes back. Also investing in chain link fence for all the concentration camps, and tiny coffins for the nonviable fetuses forced to be delivered.

If you leave them all in place they all turn into free mulch and compost anyway. And you avoid using the fossil fuels to power the mower you don’t need in the first place.

Fascism is something to be alarmed about! It’s an existential threat to democracy!
- Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK." 2 weeks ago:
And this is exactly what’s wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should’ve run. They’re too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it’s like for most Americans, and clearly they don’t care because they’ve never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn’t vote.

Just not with me.

Also on this note, if there’s a turn lane get fully in it before turning. It may as well not even be there at all if you’re gonna sit half out into the driving lane to slow down.

That’s a little drastic, but they do protect the babies while they make their way into the water. I went out to watch a release of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles and it was amazing.
First, they have signs all over the beach that if you see a mother laying eggs in the sand, leave her alone but mark the spot once she leaves. Phone the number on the sign and they’ll send out a team to collect the eggs. They incubate them safely and once they hatch they schedule a release. You can sign up to come and watch.
The turtles use the rising sun as a guide to get them to the ocean, so the release is done very early in the morning before sunrise. The seagulls in the area start to gather around out of curiosity, and the conservationists release them on the beach. They can’t put them directly in the water because they need to imprint on the beach so they know where to return to lay their eggs.
The baby turtles start rushing toward the water and the seagulls see a free meal, however they have people with long poles with banners at the end to keep them from getting too close. Everyone cheered when they reached the water, but that’s just the start for them. Of the roughly 150 turtles released, only 1% of them will survive to reproduce, meaning only 1-2 of them will ever see this beach again.

They’re like children throwing a temper tantrum when they don’t get enough attention. So they blow up a couple bridges and railway lines and the media gives them exactly what they want.
