It's the Summer holidays, let the kids enjoy practising their trolling methods.
They exist to inspire threads like this!
There are genuine anti-Semites around, and the glowy types too, you'll often find them in heated debates with undercover 'journalists' creating keyword rich content about how bad we are as a group which will be cited later.
It's the Internet, only use it on a Saturday if you want to see the real deal with Jew bashing :)
While joinery is always fascinating to me, the variety of materials and techniques to make them useful as well as artistic expression, the overall concept of colonising another culture, be that adding, copying or removing aspects of it, isn't just stuck to physical aspects or linguistic ones.
The very crear of an individual and the cultures they came from is something under attack by those claiming to be progressive and using cultural identity as a commoditised weapon to prohibit people from finding out who they truly are from their exploration of self.
The irony is that this very argument would have been used in the past to stop people trying other foods, religions, philosophical thoughts, sexual acts, languages and other aspects of others which could be worth exploring by being draconian and 'correct' in their dogma which they insisted through force was correct.
The modern enlightenment seems to have to luminance which is ironic considering those who seem to be the furthest into progressive ideals would consider themselves able to see better than those who brought them this far.
Anywas, Norm Abram for the win!
Which is great for them. There's an opportunity and they are using it to their advantage. But I'm not sure why I have to take part in that fantasy in order to get done what needs done.
I'd go so far as to say expecting it is more time consuming and needless that it being preferential.
The only times I would ever need to know someone's gender and sexual orientation is if I was wanting to be intimate with them or treat them in a medical capacity. It really doesn't matter to me outside of those context and if someone thinks it does they are imposing on my creed which is wrong.
But, for the moment at least, this goes all the way up to the board of directors across various companies as a fad which is somehow a good thing to be part of?!?
Just like when Graham Linehan said that all the women supporting Gamergate were troons and blocked genuine women making the point that unethical journalism is wrong.
Bit him on the ass that one did. Still waiting for that apology.
It's gotten out of hand with some businesses contact you about not having pronouns in your email signature or filling them out on internal documentation.
I'll happily refer to anyone as they see fit, it's not a problem. But I'm not formalising it as it goes against my personal creed and I only want them to respect that as equally as me respecting that they really enjoy having that as an important aspect to their character.
It's all rather retarded (And I mean that in the slowing of things way).
It is a little bit off for someone to insist upon anyone using any term to refer to anyone and expect it to be casually accepted as perfectly normal behaviour.
Those in my close group of friends will use all sorts of insulting words and phrases as terms of endearment when referencing each other. An outsider might think we are being aggressive to each other but that's simply because they aren't in the group. I would onto refer to a friend as a vulgar term to a stranger if I thought that stranger was close enough within the group to understand it and know it meant they are welcome to that language.
Perfectly normal behaviour of group identity which goes back as far as there have been records :)
'Their' when it is someone else directed towards in casual conversation.
Are you another one who uses pronouns in their email signature?
Feel free to let me know so that I can keep you assigned to the realm of stranger and refer to you as 'They' with 'Their' pronouns.
I've always used their when talking about a stranger. I have no possession over them and so don't intend to be rude with how they feel.
If you want to be a pronoun stickler then that is your business.
Uh-oh, I don't know your pronoun and so you best tell it to me so that I can use it when I'm shoving it up your ass.
See how that works sweetie; shalom alaykum namaste amen.
It's just an attention seeking recursive loop is all.
I'm sure there are a very few people out there who have some sort of condition that makes them think they are the other gender. But when all characteristics are measured up across the entire group who make a point of being known "It's ma'am!" we have to be looking at a mental disorder which currently aligns with those with the proper condition. A sort of Munchhausen by gender proxy.
Those who fit into the Munchausen cast are damaging those with the proper condition but those with the Munchausen cast disorders still need a proper remedy to their situation.
Sadly, due to the nature of attention seeking behaviours and the changing of rules constantly when dealing with them, the resources required to properly assist them outweigh the potential benefits of them being rehabilitated into living a more productive life.
I'm sure there is fault and adjustments to be made across multiple areas but since academia and medicine seemed to have thrown their game in there is nothing but 'Social sciences' and we know that that means jack-shit.
I'm not sure what the opposite of deadnaming is, or what the etiquette around it should be, but apparently Elon's child goes by the name Vivian Jenna Wilson now and according to their Facebook profile had a business contract sponsored by Musk family on April 12th of this year and celebrated their birthday with their family a few days after.
It could all be an elaborate troll account and misinformation or it could be a complex family situation not understood outside of their dynamics.
But Elon certainly seemed sincere during the interview about how he felt about the 'Woke mind virus' killing his son.
At this point Ubisoft should just follow the advice we were given ten years ago and simply change the name.
We didn't follow that advice because we're the bad guys but they should change the game's name and show that they are the good guys for doing so.
I'm thinking Assassin's Creed: Johnny Somali
Colonising Japan's history is right up there with any Marxist dogma and I look forward to Ubisoft's next AC game where they have a black KKK go and take out the suffragettes in Themyscira (For fun and fiction reasons which might inspire people to look into all the themes explored).
But if that development team are to be believed (Believe them all!) I foresee them not understanding that using Tipp-Ex on the screen doesn't translate into what goes into the coding, story or marketing materials required for this game not to stink.
It's possible that the last five shots were the Secret Service.
This isn't rocket science.
How three shots got fired in the first place also isn't rocket science though and so spin some of those conspiracy plates on sticks but the last five were certainly the ending of Thomas Crooks.
It's kind of the point that how they regard things is how they regard things and how we regard them regarding things is how we regard how they regard things.
It's sort of like respecting their pronouns but its not all made up for criminals to take advantage of.
I was speaking of the Pirahã of the Amazon who have one, two and many as their numerical basis.
There's no significance above three in any form for them and trying to make it so just implies that you need to make it so.
I got sitewide banned for an innocuous post (Two actually) on KiA2.
Could be an admin or supermod decision rather than our boys in blue there. I hope you get to the bottom or it and share what you find out.
