Way to ignore all context and focus on the one thing triggering you. “This tree in particular, sir!”
What are you arguing? 3rd wave feminism doesn’t exist?
A man of our times!
Wordpress supports federation. Or are you looking for something else?
“what should I say to prove it’s not a knee-jerk response? Oh, I know, double down on the knee-jerk response I had earlier!”
If you repeat it often enough, I becomes the truth in your head.
That what these AI crawler builders should be doing. They should be downloading the wikipedia backup or whatever it is and running their own wikipedia locally. They can download an update once a day or however often the backup is updated. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s some poor intern had to implement a bot, was fired or moved on, and it’s just running with nobody maintaining it. All the while the C-suits are shovelling money into their pockets.
“My programming tells me I have to disagree. I don’t know why so I’ll throw out the term I was taught to use”
ha! incel!
You sound like those right-wingers who think communism and socialism are evil terms that should be misconstrued as insults. “Guys, I called them a liberal! Where are my internet points?”
Must be USAian or Japanese. It’s terminal.
Anon is probably in the US: social media, smartphones, and 3rd wave feminism in a deeply religious, traditional, and divided society would explain their problems.
No worries, as a European, English isn’t my first language either :P
And as a response: if my job depended on being on the “right side of things” I wouldn’t make such controversial statements. Not only is it dumb in the moment, but also for the future. People are very polarised and even if she had changed her mind by now, there’d still be outrage “omg, look at what she said years ago! I don’t trust that she changed!”. Of course she supposedly doubled down, which is even dumber IMO, but you get the point.
I use this anonymous account because what the opinions I express here will probably evolve and I don’t want any future employer putting me into a box due to a comment made in jest, rage, or whatever. Revealing your identity online for anything other than business is just asking for trouble.
Would you if it’s something you care about
Did you forget a word?
I’m having trouble with the rest of your post too. Autocorrect must’ve struck or something.
That’s great. Since when and does everybody take psych 101?
And just to give a wider perspective (regardless of her origins), not every language makes the distinction and some up until recently did not. Look at the translations on (wiktionary). Many of them are transliterations of the English word. Which is not a surprise since the concept of gender is quite recent (1950-1960s) and was most likely very US-centric.
I don’t understand why people don’t keep such comments to their anonymous, unofficial accounts. You can hold such views in private and still treat people with respect, but saying these things officially changes everything. The co-organiser is in a space where she should know better. She then even doubled down
When asked whether she still held her more problematic views in a follow-up comment, Young responded ambiguously with “I fully stand by the statement you are commenting on.”
In for a penny, in for a pound, eh?
Would there be enough land for the crops once everyone went crop eater, is the more important question, I think.
This is what happens when you opensource stuff. Some dude will make it work on Linux 🤣 . Amazing.
Why are people so weird about sex? It’s nothing special. It happens all around the world, probably millions of times per day, we’re all here because of it, it’s natural, and with consent it is probably one of the least harmful things humans can do to each other. People should be given the place and time to engage in sexual activities comfortably, safely, and lovingly. They should be able to get to know their own bodies and explore those of others to learn and have fun.
It’s the parents’ job to create a good environment where the children can feel comfortable talking to them about sex and learning important lessons from them e.g that porn is not a good representation of what happens in a bedroom, how important communication during sexual activities is (verbal or otherwise), how every partner is different, and so on.
Be the good parent.
Really depends on the skin color of the person visiting and where they are visiting in that country. A non-white visiting most West-European cities will be mostly fine, but if they go out to the country-side, things can be very different.
I watched a documentary of an Indian boy adopted to a Swiss family who then went back to India to visit. He had a terrible time in Switzerland due to racism and nearly as an awful time in India, because he couldn’t speak the language and people thus assumed he was a Pakistani spy.
