Yes! I am a bit out of it and my vision feels kinda lazy for like 48 hours after NyQuil.

What part about our reaction, or Luigi's, is stupid? Is it maybe, just maybe, totally justifiable anger?

Does it? It's not a brag, I don't think it's particularly cool or interesting. It just means I heard it from the horse's mouth and it is absolutely happening barring new legal action.

You can (and I do) rebind the modifier keys in System Preferences. Makes it a lot comfier to use a Mac and another machine with the same keyboard via KVM switch.

I have news for everyone ITT: TikTok is not leaving the US. A friend works in their North America business division, and they are fully planning to split off a satellite company that is (at least nominally) US-based and compliant with local law. They have been working on the transition for many months.

Yeah, well, this has been fun! Let's do it again some time.

You're honestly right and I regret the joke and lowering the level of discourse with it. Sorry everyone.

But isten, you've been heavily down voted in this thread, and it's not because we are all sycophantic anti-woke nut jobs. This community is for the most part intelligent, leftist or left-leaning, empathetic people who support the rights of all kinds to exist and be recognized and treated fairly. But many would agree there is a reasonable degree to which you can meet people halfway when it comes to communication and understanding.

Whether you like it or not, "guys" in the agendered sense, is a part of the language. It may not always have been, but it is now. When people use it in this way, they aren't thinking about your gender or the concept of gender at all. They are trying to address a collection of people, simple as that. English doesn't have a plural second-person pronoun, we have to use additional words.

When you get offended, you are deliberately misunderstanding them, and thus engaging in a bad-faith argument against their intended meaning. And it's that audacity, the sidelining of pithy conversation for an imagined affront, that rubs some otherwise supportive and open minded people like myself the wrong way.

How does a snowflake screw in a lightbulb? They hold the bulb, and the whole world revolves around them.

Understanding is a meeting in the middle. It's reasonable to correct the record on how you as an individual would like to be gendered. It's not reasonable to expect all of society to drop the use of a word that is colloquially accepted as gender neutral. At a certain point, your outrage is the antisocial behavior.

The Expanse. I forgot how good the earlier seasons were, and looking forward to seeing the newer stuff for the first time.

I'm not making an argument for the technology or the veracity of the claims, I was literally just pointing out the misunderstanding.

3% false negatives, not false positives.

Why would you automatically doubt this? You are aware there are other places outside where you live, and different things happen there, right?

Sorry, but isn't that exactly the batshit stuff they're accusing? Citizens of those states deserve the same benefits, no matter how dumb they or their leaders are

Blessed be the fruit

I mean I hate him, but I didn't get that from this. To me it sounded like he was suggesting that her newfound supporters know very little about her, that they are fair-weather followers or something. It's easy to imagine that one of his yes-men showed him a clip of a rally where somebody was fumbling for her last name, and he just took that idea and magnified a single example of something into "nobody knows", like he always does.

My partner and I once went as Leon and Matilda for Halloween. I finished off a quart of milk and filled it with pre-mixed negroni cocktai to sneak it into a party as part of my costume. Boy howdy, I was so drunk I was speaking in tongues at the end of the night.
