I couldn’t imagine bringing a gaming device to a family Thanksgiving celebration and insisting on being able to use it instead of socializing with the people physically there.

You know things are good in New Zealand when it’s a story that people were mean to a public figure online.

It’s not about the grammar. It’s the underlying mindset that might lead to specific word choices. If someone exclusively refers to women as bitches, that may be because they don’t hold much respect for women.

More subtly, if someone always refers to women as girls but rarely to men as boys, it could be telling us that they think of women as immature and less like fully formed adults.

For the word females, it’s more subtle again. It would be normal to refer to animals as male and female. For people we have the gender-specific terms man and woman. If you refer to women as females but not men as males, you may be revealing an underlying dehumanizing attitude. This is corroborated by what seems to be a common trope of incels calling women females.

Thanks. I’m not saying the poster is an incel. I’m just saying the objection to misuse of “female” has been primed by incels (and Ferengi). Without incels, there wouldn’t be such a knee jerk revulsion to it.

I have no idea what you’re trying to communicate, but I do understand the logical expression you used.

Ok. I somehow missed that. I scanned for other uses of “female” a few times but was blinded to the one right next to coworker.

Incel behavior includes using “female” as a noun when talking about women. Using “female” as an adjective is perfectly normal and common. It is fine to write “female coworker” instead of “coworker who is a woman.”

Some people are hypersensitive to wrongspeak.

If she lives in a patriarchal society, then the culture doesn’t allow her to truly consent to giving up her milk for anyone but her own consumption, and that’s assuming she doesn’t do work or volunteering that somehow furthers the patriarchy.

Or something unhinged like that.

By complaining about copypastas you are just making it worse. Can’t you see that? Every time you comment and complain about people posting the same comments each time just adds to the incentive for people who think they are funny to continue. I am willing to bet that this comment will turn into a *** copypasta at this point just because of how “funny” and “ironic” it would be to make a copypasta out of a comment complaining about copypastas.

To use ctrl-r I have to remember something about the command. To use up arrow I just have to know about how many commands ago I used it.

Been there, done that.

Not a fan of that font. The tight kerning slows reading.

Ironically, this is something AI should be very good at detecting.

This is a tangent, but I’m curious how many people who uncritically supported Kennedy’s environmental efforts are rethinking the accuracy of his claims based on what they know is wrong about his public health claims.

What’s the difference between evil pharma pushing deadly vaccines and evil chemical companies polluting our environment? There are historically proven incidents of both (if we expand vaccine to medical treatments in general), but how many of the specific cases he made against companies were contrived bullshit pushed by cranks? Take fluoridation for a less controversial example among educated people.

When something is too “on the nose,” for example, it’s written in exactly the way that would induce the most cheering and virality because it appeals so much to one group of people, it’s worth considering it may have been written to provoke exactly that reaction.

Someone should create a fuckgrass community so all the virtue signalling can be contained.

I’d say ½ get used maybe 50% of the time.

Øh, really?

Joke explained. Thanks.
