Pushes up glasses All mopeds are motorbikes.

Especially true with fridges. In door water and ice being big points of failure.

I think that URL might be for something else entirely. Unless they also do industrial manufacturing

OK, I have said this multiple times and you don’t seem to be listening.

I literally did not say you were a misogynist. I never said you hate women. I stated that I did not think that in multiple ways. I said you are using an outdated term and people who are misogynists use it. I did so in the hope that you would at least be more cautious in your use.

It’s akin to saying “‘hot dog’ is offensive; you need to say ‘frankfurter.’”

It’s not though. It’s akin to using the G slur when you mean got ripped off. It is an outdated slang term that a whole lot of people find offensive. Even if the people around you have not, the greater population of people have moved the fuck on.

Clearly you think this an attack on you (it’s not, for the record), so I am done. I’m done having the slightest critique escalated to an attack on your character. Honestly, I’m probably done with you altogether. This is not the first time you have had multiple people tell you something only to you stick your fingers in your ears and say “nuh-uh, my personal experience trumps all” even after being provided evidence of a world view beyond yours.

So yeah, have a good one.

Now, we can play this game that I hate women, but it’s not going to have a lot of legs.

I literally never said that and don’t even know where this came from. Please stop escalating beyond what I have said

The failure, as I see it, is that “chicks” only came into my lexicon via women. If they’re using the term, how am I being offensive?

Could be a few reasons. Internalized misogyny is a thing. Maybe they grew up around it and didn’t know the connotations. The more likely thing is that when it entered you lexicon it was more acceptable. Times change, culture changes, language changes.

If nothing else, you clearly have a group around you that tolerates the use. And if that works for them, that’s fine. The folks here don’t know you, though. We only have your interactions on here to guide us. Getting defensive about using terms like this paints a picture, however untrue, that you don’t respect women and don’t care to listen to outside perspectives.

The information is pretty easy to find, but since you asked for receipts, here is a article from JSTOR that calls out “chick” as a dehumanizing term for women and cites a study from the 90s that calls it out (among several other dehumanizing words for women).

https://daily.jstor.org/the-language-of-nasty-women-and-other-gendered-insults/

I think you misinterpret the point of me calling out the word. I don’t think you have an intention to condescend or dehumanize women, but other people that use “chicks” to refer to women often do. If it were me, I would not want to associate myself with them.

In the end, intent matters less than impact. For example, if you use a slur that you did not know was a slur, wouldn’t you rather be told so you can stop using it?

A whole lot of women and femmes dislike that word because it is condescending and dehumanizing. Just because 2 people in your life don’t think so doesn’t mean a majority of people don’t.

Wow, creepy

Honestly I disagree. Calling it a movement may be the wrong title, but it isn’t going to necessarily fail. They have been gaining traction every month and getting people even in rural areas to get out and protest. The normies are joining and that is a good thing. It may need a goal eventually, but for now it is setting the groundwork for actually getting people out. We should not be discouraging people from getting out there. Hell, even the person quoted in the link says that they are not trying to tear it down. Doing so is trying to fight apathy with more apathy

How so? To me it is normalizing standing up

True, but that is isn’t one most people think about from the originals. I think Aliens is the most remembered. To the point I think people forget the original is creeping horror and not action

Why? She had a full head of hair for Alien.

You could replace Hillary Clinton with a male public figure

They didn’t do that though, they chose a specific woman. While I am not a fan, you have to ask why her when she is not even in the political spotlight anymore.

Is it related to Hillary Clinton in general getting more negative comments/jokes/etc. because she is a woman?

That is for sure part of, but women politicians in general get a lot more hate.

Wow, this joke is neither Catholic or funny. Just mostly misogyny

In this case the article references specific arcade beat-em-ups that the game reminds them of, so I don’t think it is off base.

I think at least the people are ai generated. But also, fuck Voodoo donuts

This has been going around lately, but the arbitration clause has been in the ToS for at least a year, but probably since the beginning. Not saying it is a good thing, but it is already far too late. The new update just added “resources” for arbitration. You know, arbitrators that are paid by Discord

For sure if you are already planning a hardware change, but but with the state of the world, using what you have is the only option for a lot of folks.

One of the great things about Linux is choice. I try not to discourage options, even if it is not my preference
