Outright banned, I’m guessing because blindly following rules by the book, but I think it’s not a move in the right direction.

In Spain people are trying to make neutral words by placing @ where a/o should go in the gendered words, I think it never made to any documentation but it wasn’t banned yet, at least.

That’s true, but you can’t help but notice that when people coming from this background are taught English, they are usually taught that ‘male’ pronouns are the default.

If anything, I would support the removal of ‘he/him’ for all the backlash it will generate.

There’s more than one option, I for one prefer Elverson which is Ey/Em/Eirs

please invent some word for it and go with it

There is are more than one word. It’s going to take quite some time until agreement on the use will distill and become accepted, though.

I, too, thought about Drag several times while reading the thread

I’m guessing larger than medium are the ones that transport containers, trees, houses, and the like

I think, this was what future was imagined at the beginning of the previous century. It definitely is what I would rather like to see instead of what we got, where automation is not for easing the work, but for removing the people.

With this best outcome I agree, it would be nice if there were less violence, not more.

It doesn’t work on all the cats, though. Also, I heard that it’s not painful for a cat to be lifted that way, but I would prefer not to.

Edit: I was wrong

Why would they want to off this kid.

So that he can’t be tried and found non-guilty. So that he wouldn’t spread dangerous ideas. So that he pays for his transgressions.

I don’t know what could be their reasoning, but I would expect them wanting to off him behind the scenes rather than await for the trial results.

Ok, so now instead of ‘eat the rich’ we’re going ‘eat everyone except for the absolute poor’, right?

Oh, yeah, I kinda mixed together liking and supporting in the ‘appreciate’.

false dichotomy arguments that you can’t appreciate music made by a person if that person is considered a bad person

For me this is more about making someone more popular and making them profits by listening to their music. And then there’s also a possibility that someone is considered a bad person for their views that are also displayed in their music, then I consider that I might start viewing their opinion as the norm, and also prefer not to listen to them.

All in all, I agree that the dichotomy is false, but I think it has some sense in some cases.

I would expect only the wrong lessons will be learnt. But I already saw a headline about another insurance company reverting some stupid policy, so maybe correct ones will be learnt, too.

Which also implies that ey is a Nazi, too, by the same logic.

Nah, I’d say far from close

Look how sweet, they’re holding hands pincers

Almost nowhere but America exists /s

Am I tipping myself?

Oh, I would be tipping generously at the self-service if I were tipping me through getting a discount.
