@1iceloops123 @mangeurdenuage @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad they/them shouldn't be a personal pronoun in any case because it's ambiguous as to the number of the parties involved. That's what it's for: when the details matter *so* little that you could even mean one vs. more dudes.
Some guests came over. They had dinner with me. (I don't want to explain that males came over because you're going to call me gay.)
This is how English is. Different languages care about some details while leaving others vague. Both Chinese and Russian have a single word to make it explicit that "I am a girl right now." implies that something *changed* to make this statement true, that it wasn't true in the past. In English you have to spell that out. In Russian if you say "I'm alone" then you've also said if you're a male or female while alone, because there are different words for each case.
These people are slapping the word 'English' on their translations and they're really producing a dialect that I find so disagreeable that I just can't read it if there's too much of it. It's fraud. -

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad there's so much minor editing that they could make easy, for subtitles and for e-books. They could let you edit in the book in the browser and then publish your patch as a changeset.
And, they don't need to cater to normal people to do it, they can sell it to fujoshis as a way to easily switch to reading an all-male version of a romance novel.
Fundamentally, they're just lazy. Corporations have become bad at making money because infinite fake money is too much in supply. -

@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage @noyoushutthefuckupdad it's a giant spider and the smaller males are seen in the first episode. And, the webnovel's been around for years and this is easy to look up. And, more importantly, it's a *spider*. Spiders have binary sex just like humans. They are definitely one or the other and don't need mental illness pronouns.
This just goes on the pile of media that I would pay for, that I could read if I could edit it easily, but that I will probably only never read in English because the entire language is being dragged into the abyss. I live so far away from San Francisco but the social pollution from it affects my life anyway. -

@mangeurdenuage they never brought the light novel over, and they're slow as hell to bring the manga. But there's 700+ chapters of the webnovel at https://www.shmtranslations.com/ongoing/isekai-nonbiri-nouka/ , which is charming for all the alternate-POV chapters and the simple first person language. -

@mangeurdenuage oh fgs, the licensed anime subtitles give 'they/them' pronouns to Zabuton, an obvious female. -

@ChristiJunior @PraxisOfEvil @anonaccount there are white kids today who sit and suffer daily humiliations only to watch that one friend become a tranny and instantly get all kinds of accolades and excellent treatment and care. That has to be the most damaging part of these times: not that you're just oppressed, but that there's such an easy escape from it.
Apparently in Seal school there's a bell that anyone can ring at any time to get dropped from the program. Want to leave? Don't want to keep running? There's a bell right over there. Just do it and go. Even in carebear basic training we got a line like that: want to leave? There's a McDonalds down the road, and we'll help you apply for it.
Maybe that's where they got the idea. Or maybe they got it from

>The model attempts to explain such a systemic bias in terms of structural economic causes rather than a conspiracy of people. It argues the bias derives from five "filters" that all published news must pass through which combine to systematically distort news coverage.
1. who owns the news?
2. who pays for news?
3. how much control do those covered by the news have over it?
4. who punishes the 'wrong' kind of news?
5. "Norms, the fifth filter, refer to the common conceptions shared by those in the profession of journalism."

@Hyperhidrosis @coolboymew she wanted to gripe about traffic.
And, if the glasses aren't part of the joke, probably sincerely. Even if the road is nearly empty, she could've just had to pass someone that was rudely and unconscionably driving the speed limit. 6.5 days of the week she hits this road at 100 miles/hour and then randomly there's some causing her to have to pay attention at all while driving.

@platypus @wndlb d) it's 'archived' on youtube and that's good enough until the channel is abruptly deleted over some long-retroactive censorship unrelated to the video in question -

>the past doesn't even exist
>the past is socially constructed
prime example right here of where those "oh don't worry babe it's not a dealbreaker" statements are coming from. These are not statements derived from any thought or consideration, they have not been tested by argument or experience, these are just the human equivalent of mooing. -

@icedquinn @mangeurdenuage and for me, and the very clear reason was "getting you to have plans is what school is for".
The decline of public schooling is so rapid that even older siblings, even older siblings still in public school, are made into boomers - unable to comprehend just how bad it's gotten in their wake. -

A: yep
Q: 'cause all movies and journalists and--wait, what? you have?
A: yeah, it's thinking about stuff that got me to my positions

@Rasterman @toosharpbyhalf
Q: you mean people can take my image and just ... edit it? for their amusement? in discussion among themselves?
A: they can do this, by default, due to the lawless "techno-bro" nature of the internet, but generations of boomers have carved out a flawless legal compulsion that puts a stop to such things. To implement it in its full power, you need
1. an ugly watermark on your image. A paid copy of photoshop, or a premium subscription to Adobe Cloud, will be enough for a legally valid watermark
2. a reservation of rights in your bio. You can adapt the "email disclaimer" you should already be using:
