  • Definitely not just you. But I was wondering why its boner was poking through its pants, even though it doesn't have pants.

  • You're doing exactly as much as required? How rude of you.

  • Setup an autocorrect phrase :D

  • The will of the people

  • Sure, the fans... But the majority of the viewers are people like my parents, who are entertained by it for a week, don't really care all that much about anything but the national rivalry and the cool shows and music, and then it clears off their mind until the next year.

  • Lol, no

    Most people won't ever see this news, and even then, many people wouldn't care.

  • The mindset of clinging to this connection just makes it harder, trust me.

    In online dating you have at least a 70% random loss rate that you have no real control over or idea what went wrong. Even in "real" dating, approaching people during hobbies etc, it doesn't work in like 30-50% of the cases where you thought there were sparks.

    I know that it's hard, but you'll find someone again. A blue moon happened once, it'll happen again :)

  • People randomly stop writing. Just let her go and find the next one. Maybe after like a week or two, ask what's going on.

  • Little common luxuries, lots of nature, lots of silence, freedom from most things. It's a return to a more ancient, simple way of life.

    For some people this represents extreme comfort and serenity.

    For other people they don't understand why you'd give up having a warm shower readily available (or similar things) and are annoyed the whole way.

    Have fun finding out what's yours! :D

  • Definitely agree. It depends on the situation and context/situational clues.

    Remember that we are talking about a metaphor here, the "actual" situation that is talked about is people calling trans femme people "dude" or "bro".

    I know a bunch of people who really just use these words all the time on everyone and never were they trying to say that a woman they call that is actually a man. I suppose it's possible and happens sometimes, but I imagine it's very rare.

  • Yep, totally understandable from my side :)

  • Of course it is okay to threaten harm to people. "Policing speech" is exactly that, "threatening harm to people". If you police someone's speech, the implied threat is something like "if you don't change your speech, I'm going to make your life harder/remove certain benefits from you/reduce your social status", all of which is "harm".

  • I have 2C wireless and there is no Bluetooth to be found.

  • That's why I wrote my initial comment.

    They both need to acknowledge that they're unreasonable. Dropping the metaphor.

    It's completely understandable that one person has trauma regarding gender and thus unreasonably feels offended by an innocuous word like "dude". And thus, if you respect that person, it's totally reasonable to try to accommodate them and not use "dude" when possible.

    At the same time, the person requesting it needs to be aware that their request is unreasonable in the way that you just described, and thus it'd be reasonable for them to say "please don't say dude to me, but if you can't, it's not that bad because I know this is my issue to be so offended by an innocuous word".

  • Definitely.

    I just thought it important with my comment to counteract the sentiment of "fuck what the person that is wrong feels". That is exactly what is causing the resistance most of the time. Yes, sure, they shouldn't be saying "dipshit" to that other person. But telling them it's no problem when they themselves know that it's a huge problem for them is just antagonizing them, effectively.

  • I think what people mean when they say this is that they are looking for the same price point as the equivalent Windows device... I don't know all these companies but every time I looked for a Linux PC/laptop it was 25-30% more expensive than the equivalent Windows thing.

  • As I've already said multiple times, that is the reasonable approach. For some reason everyone thinks I'm for the continuing of people being called dipshit in this situation.

  • that’s solved by them not looking at me.

    That's exactly what I'm saying here. The one that doesn't want to be called dipshit should remove themselves from the situation where they're called dipshit, i.e. cut the person out of their lives.

    I'm not offended, I'm just saying that policing someone else's speech is the same as asking them to leave your general vicinity, i.e. not particularly reasonable.

  • It doesn't cost nothing though.

    If a person habitually calls everyone "dipshit", they need to pay close attention every time they speak with that person, making sure to think about every word coming out of their mouth and making sure none of these is "dipshit".

    Just try speaking to someone and never using "the" ever, it's incredibly hard. If you're used to speaking in a certain way, it's very hard to change and takes a lot of mental work. And it's ok if it's one word with one person... but what if everyone decides a word or multiple words isn't fine to them? It gets harder and harder.

    This is not a complete non-issue like it's being treated.
