If your "Grammarly" didn't pick up that comma splice, kick it to the curb, and try to avoid asking people to mind their grammar in the future.

Nope, should be a hyphen or colon. Doesn't work with a comma.

It's a fucking run-on people!

You realize I enjoy writing? Please don't make my brain hurt with rules that I have no intention of either following, or bend to such a degree that I don't care either way.

That's where the comma goes.

It's a sentence run on. Or whatever happens when you mash an interrogative and a statement together. Commi Cat is right.

Edit:

You realize I enjoy writing?

Beat me to it. Add "do," and you sound like someone that will pass your sophomore year English class.

"You realize I enjoy writing, so please don't make my brain hurt with rules I either have no intention of following, or will bend to such a degree that I don't care either way."

Is my submission.

I think that's what he meant. Nevertheless, grammarian scold thyself.

Stick to your numbers.

used to have gender, too
Like half a millennia ago. Interestingly, some would have you think that's due to Latin but Celtic languages used gender in language as well. Not sure if germanic languages ever did.
English is a Germanic language. Swedish in particular has lost much of its inflections and gender differentiation, but Germanic languages are gendered and, despite that bullshit about Latin that DB posted, sentences tend not to end with prepositions, although for the same reasons. Way back when I was a kid, we had actual actresses and even an arrant aviatrix; there were barmaids and stewardesses instead of bartenders and flight attendants.

But Feminism destroyed that as well. What won't the scourge of Feminism ruin?

Also, omitting the Oxford comma is the language equivalent of using Common Core arithmetic
