This is getting really technical. I’m half expecting you to tell me that there is something called Quantum Semantics that has totally different rules for nouns and pronouns and all the rules change.
kolmaskommentoija notes strawberry_enjoyer42 can just use strawberry_enjoyer42’s name or some different noun descriptor as a replacement, so no pronouns needed
Also, perhaps ironically, because Latin is an agglutinative language, the original “cogito, ergo sum” does not have pronouns either. The -o ending in cogit-o, tells it is “I” who thinks, and “sum” tells it is “I” who is ("being” being completely irregular verb). So it is “(I) think, so (I) am”.
It’s so neat :3 It’s survived into modern Latin languages, like Italian and Spanish. It kinda exists in English, since you can frequently drop some pronouns, but the person-perspective (there’s gotta be a proper word for that) not encoded in the other words.
For example, one might shorten “I love you” to simply “love you”, or in questions, such as “are you enjoying your food?” being shortened to “enjoying your food?”
I don’t think this is even a good example. “Self” is usually treated as a reflexive pronoun, although I’m not sure if it still counts as one if you say “the self.” And “this” is a demonstrative pronoun. And “one,” as it used in this sentence is an indefinite pronoun.
Those could be used as pronouns indeed, but “self” here is a noun, even if reflexive. Could have used “this writer” instead of “one,” but wanting easier for reading diction (✕⍯) choose. “This” is a demonstrative determiner/adjectives, pointing to the nouns perspectives.

Know what? Fair.
Few word enough, lot word not
dude uses amateur nouns I guess
Noobnouns
Took me a minute. I had to come back to upvote this
If I’m just trying to unwind and have a good time I stick to casual nouns. But when it’s time to lock in I go with ranked competitive nouns.
Sweat nouns are the worst!
the only good and acceptable pronoun joke is hobbes saying “a noun that lost it’s amateur status” :3
No it’s not, because I’m too daft to get it. Checkmate
The joke
the noun is no longer an amateur it went pro, so now it’s a pronoun.
and the comic in question (i was on my phone last night, sorry)
he uses nonouns
after i accidentally use the wrong pronoun i just add a contranoun which annihilates the pronoun resulting in a nonoun!
Yes but this releases a burst of energy that destroys the conversation.

Hard to not use pronounce, think. Very difficult. What should say? Can’t think of examples. Think, therefore am.

true. strawberry thinks, therefore strawberry is.

If you can understand the last sentence then you now understand how Japanese functions despite omitting pronouns 90% of the time
Now speaking japanese will be added to the woke list
It will be added to the asleep list.
Mac refuses to pay for the pro subscription and therefore only has access to normal tier nouns.
Pronouns are a crutch. Real bros let their actions speak.

What if stoodarion becameth apothipronominal as this writer has?🤔

just use names tbh, thats what names are for
No then everyone would realize how often I forget their names.
Even your own, it would seem!
“self” in this context is a pronoun.
