I don’t like the overall message society gives that men need to be “good at sex” instead of people mutually enjoying the experience.
To me it’s akin to someone calling you boring to talk with, while they contribute nothing to the conversation other than showing up.
Please think of your family haha: https://www.wikihow.com/Enable-the-Double-Tap-Period-Shortcut-on-an-iPhone Or https://www.techbone.net/android/user-manual/double-space-full-stop
If you use a different keyboard, then you’re on your own.
Or just don’t double tap space!
Funnily enough, this is the case for men too. Hence all the “this has never happened to me before” memes on TV shows in the 90s and 00s.
“just as many”? Press X to doubt. I don’t doubt you’ve heard some, but people just don’t care about cat breeds in the same way people care about dog breeds.
Hence the meme
While it wouldn’t solve climate change, it would certainly make it easier to play Minecraft without OP players.
0_0 I take it you do the lion’s share of the finances haha
At least I hope
We do not grant you the rank of Master
My response is still the same. Because the more uncommon something is (i.e. not He/she/they) then it’s also reasonable to expect people to get it wrong a bunch. Also, I really feel pointing toward odd pronouns is such a stawman too, because it’s overwhelmingly people asking for he/she/they (male/female/neither).
If there is someone non-binary out there really getting mad at people who mis-gender them without being told first (again, never met anyone like this, ever), then I’d encourage them to practice some empathy and be realistic.
I’m betting there is practically no one out there seriously asking to be called master.
Though smeagol uses it for master. Master is nice to smeagol.
I really think this “debate” is such a waste of time. Just try to accommodate people if it’s easy.
And calling someone by the name they choose (and are often legally called), and the gender they identify with, is such low effort, and making mistakes is such a non-issue if your attitude is good.
What is the fuss all about. (I know the answer, I just think the answer is stupid)
Thanks for the in-depth response! These fair-share fees sound great, an anti-scab fee haha
I think the best response that’s always worked for me is:
“Who cares!” Person riled up about this inclined to agree with me because they think I’m on the two genders “side of the debate”. “Just try your best to call people what they want to be called and move on. If someone’s name is x, try call them x, if they say ‘I am a y’, try calling them a y. If you get it wrong accidentally, oh well, just say sorry and try again. Why are we even still talking about this? It’s such a non-issue”
Highly effective on those who aren’t super conservative and just been swept up in the (in my opinion) astroturfed outrage.
Right to work? Is this some euphemism for some awful employment laws, in the mould of the Australian Liberal Party’s (the Conservatives) “Work Choices” legislation?
I can’t wait for the budget framework to come out, 1 because current lineup is expensive (well, more than I’d like to spend on a laptop. I’ll run my shitty 2018 Microsoft Surface Pro 6 into the ground), but 2 because the product will be even more polished by that time.
Can’t wait to have a laptop and then just have it for like 10 years. Especially if it’s Linux out of the box 👍👍
To me this is the right answer. Both always exist. I think people’s propensity to believe the oppressed will definitely pick up arms in the face of oppression are kidding themselves.
(this is only directed at the people who seem to have wanted Trump to win to “accelerate” the ushering in of a socialist society):
Deluding themselves about how often there isn’t a glorious revolution, and ongoing, armed resistance by the oppressed isn’t guaranteed.
Accelerationists have a weird hard-on for revolution, as if it’s easy-peasy to dismantle and replace all institutions all at once.
This socialist thinks we ought to fight tooth and nail via disruption/extra legal actions, implied threats of the power of the masses (in the same mould that workers won rights by threat), AND ideally within the system itself.
Because revolution is a roll of the dice.
300 Nazis outing themselves and going to prison to (hopefully) be rehabilitated with counseling?
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
(I am aware the prison system is not super fantastic in Australia, but we’re miles ahead of the US, and some of this 300 may actually be dissuaded. And also, they’re Nazis, so. If you believe your fellow human beings are animals, then you don’t get free speech, sorry.)
I didn’t make any decision at all, since I don’t vote in US elections. But yeah, this is the trolley problem, and most people agree doing nothing to switch the track to the fewer people being affected is the worse option.
If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist’s point of view, by all means, do tell.
If not, you’re saying standing there and not switching the lever makes you righteous.
Which, in my opinion, is a stupid take.
Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You’re high on your own righteousness.
Yikes, I hope the weather is good there up on your moral high horse, where everyone who is a realist is a Nazi, where you prefer to do nothing over voting against a clearly worse candidate.
Calling Republican and Democratic policies the exact same is delusion.
I do not like or support the Democrats. They are supporting genocide in the middle east. No doubt about that.
I just think people, such as yourself, are deluded if you think not voting against Trump is somehow a logical decision, and makes you smart or morally superior. I hold those who had the chance to act to prevent Trump getting into power responsible for whatever more fucked up shit he does compared to the Democrats.
Again, luckily in my country, I don’t need to tactically vote, but the people in the US do.
If they don’t, they get Trump.
The actual Nazis are the ones who scapegoat groups of people as the cause of economic woes, crack down on “different” people, punish their political enemies, and make it even harder to vote them out. You can bet you ass that’s going to become more now under this next administration.
I will edit this comment later because I’m about to hop on my bike. Please recall you called me a fascist first, and in my opinion, very unreasonably.
On the bright side the democrats lost
This is why I’m saying you’re happy Trump won. This is functionally the same, because of first past the post voting system.
So, I will get back to your strange comments calling me a fascist because I dare be sad the democrats lost over Trump (if you’re not, yeah, as a leftist, that’s weird. When the choice is pretty right, and far right. There’s only one logical choice).
I live in Australia, where at least I have preferential voting (unfortunately single member electorates, which trends towards two parties), but if you live in the US, there was only one rational choice as a leftist, and it was the bloody democrats.
Just have to get home from work, so hang tight.
It hurts me that people don’t realise you know where the sun rises and sets (roughly), anywhere, by looking up and roughly knowing what time it is. Other than midday, then fair enough.
