You said you support the trans agenda and are an ally, but me asking you to not describe cis people as normal makes makes me a harassing Karen. Cool.

Fascinating! Because this notation is already used by another tool (and possibly more), it might not be as silly as it sounds. From the headline it sounds like some really weird API was added to something.

Happy to see this sort of optimism in the wake of AI causing people’s programs to get bad reviews because the AI thinks they can do things they can’t.

Thanks for the share. Maybe I’m looking too far into it, or just in one of those moods, but this really is oddly inspirational to me.

Don’t call yourself an ally if you call cis people “non trans normal people” while knowing and refusing to use the term cis. You getting so defensive about this really illustrates to me that your allyship stops when it’s inconvenient. This all began because I saw you use some very strange phrasing so I just wanted to let you know that, hey, instead of the harmful mouthful that is “non trans normal person” you can just say cis. Lo and behold, you know the term. Okay, sure, fine, but just calling it “made up”? Never once asked you to say cis. Was just telling you that it’s a word that exists. It never was a problem in my eyes that you didn’t say cis, it was a problem that you said normal.

Let me make myself clear one last time. I don’t care if you don’t say cis. I’d like you to, I think you should, but it’s not anywhere close to the same as saying cis is normal and trans isn’t.

Attraction to women doesn’t make people not misogynist.

Because their would be constituents wanted him.

Well it certainly contributes to othering the people you don’t view as “normal”. Don’t use cis, whatever, but paired with you saying you specifically know cis is a term and you specifically choose not to use it, calling cis people normal certainly sounds transphobic. You’re following the conservative’s playbook. Don’t say cis people are the “normal” ones.

America has a majority of white people living there. Could you imagine if people started calling white people “normal”? The words you choose have consequences.

Again, I can’t make this clear enough, this isn’t some bullshit purity test. If you don’t wanna use the term cis to describe yourself, so be it, but don’t use normal. Especially when you’re already willing to use non-trans. Solidarity isn’t othering the persecuted.

Lmao, but they specifically said they knew the term exists and refuse to use it and instead not only call themselves “non-trans” but also “normal”. This wasn’t someone just not knowing the word.

Lol. I think there is one for Republican and Democrat though. Which is funny. Or maybe it’s like conservative or something. I don’t know. There are so many TLDs now, it’s crazy.

But when you say things like ‘“non-trans” normal person’ it sounds like you’re saying it isn’t normal to be trans. Why not just say “non-trans” or “cis” instead of saying “normal person”?

Singular they had been around since the 14th century. If you want to say it was prescriptive then I might be willing to agree, but we aren’t in the 14th century. We’re in the 21st century. I’m sure you’ll agree that over 500 years of precedence makes it descriptive by that point.

but it is a made-up word of the English language

Interesting, because every word you’ve used is made-up word of the English language.

Gentle FYI for you today, the term for non-trans is cis or cisgender. 💜

The amount of people who think that scientists don’t understand how bees fly is evidence that most people don’t have this world view. As if someone would see a bee flying, not only having been around for eons, but a very common creature most people are familiar with, would just throw their hands up and say “WHOA! THIS VIOLATES ALL THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! THIS SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE!”

The one time I tried to manually install arch on a VM years and years ago it didn’t work and I wrote Arch off. Guess what I’m running now? Well, Cachy, but lol. It’s Arch. And guess what? It’s got a simplified install process.

He specifically claims to be a science guy. Not a scientist.

BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!

I think people have a hard time wrapping their heads around it because it’s very rare to have this sort of problem in the real world. Typically you have a specific size container and need to arrange things in it. You usually don’t get to pick an arbitrary size container or area for storage. Even if you for something like shipping, you’d probably want to break this into a 4x4 and a separate single box to better fit with other things being shipped as well. Or if it is storage you’d want to be able to see the sides or tops. Plus you have 3 dimensions to work with on the real world.

It’s funny because CATV usually means cable television and is coax.

Calculus was the only class I failed in college. It was one of those massive 200 student classes. The teacher had a thick accent and hand writing that was difficult to read. Also, I remember her using phrases like “iff” that at the time I thought was her misspelling something only to later realize it was short hand for “if and only if”, so I can’t imagine how many other things just blew over my head.

I retook it in a much smaller class and had a much better time.

Lol when I first saw iPhone my brain read it as the default signature iPhones put in emails.

Someone asked you to mention a post is AI. That’s it. Now you’re talking about punching people in the mouth and knocking their teeth out. Pathetic. Fear masquerading as bravery. Unironically saying might makes right. All because someone asked you to explicitly say you shared an AI image.

You know what you can do instead of talking about punching people’s teeth out? Just not respond. Want to permanently silence someone? Block them. Easy peesy. Like this!
