sunfane [comrade/them]

I've heard https://www.liberation.fr/ is relatively left but I haven't verified. https://francaisfacile.rfi.fr/fr/ is good for learners

I think it's considered a microaggression when it's used by less-than-well-meaning libs (often parents of trans teens who don't respect their child's chosen pronouns) who think nobody will notice they've "beat the system" avoiding misgendering by they/theming. There's also a contingent of the trans community that prefer strict adherence for themselves to the gender binary and are rather sensitive when it comes to discussions of being non-binary or "dismantling the gender binary". Because of these factors, and more, some people outright reject they/them as general all-purpose pronouns, especially so if their preferred pronouns were previously listed/discussed/etc

Edit: I've heard weaponizing they/them is more of a thing on TERF island but I don't know enough to speak on that

Sounds like a dog whistle for "sub-human" fascist language imo

Fricadelle de rouflaquette marouflée à la gerboise de farigoule svp

Whenever someone asks which games would make a good TV/movie adaptation, Second Sight immediately comes to mind for me. It's not the most groundbreaking story, but for video games it kind of is lol

Agreeed this drives me up a wall. Just call them transphobes! Matt Walsh is not a radical feminist lol

Ideally one would refer to other users as user/poster/comrade, imo. But a lot of people on the internet end up using he/him pronouns for any unknown person. This usually prevents that.

It's also a nice little reminder that there's a real person behind that username you're engaging with.

But an unnamed source from the Trump administration insisted to Bloomberg in that same article that it wasn’t a big deal.

“One top national security official from the administration of former President Donald Trump said none of the Chinese spy balloons were near sensitive sites or had payloads as large as this one appears to carry,” Bloomberg continued.

And if you can’t trust an unnamed official who worked for Trump, who can you trust, right?

Forbes coming in with the hard-hitting journalism :so-true:

I picked up Spider-Man Remastered on Steam a few months ago because everybody was raving about it. I only paid $40 but I still regret it. Maybe I'll have to try it again, I just found it really uninspired

it’s a serious blind spot in your worldview that will harm others if ever implemented. I hope you’re not okay with that.

This is a very bad faith argument towards the other poster and I think you should consider against using it in the future :rat-salute:

It's a whole thread of people trying to explain to OP the risk of cumulative damage with repeat infections and :grillman: responding "That's completely false, there's no evidence of that anywhere" :edgeworth-pissed:

Incugoonin' and succubatin'

Putting your fingers in your ears and your head in the sand while acting dismissive and condescending to your peers sounds like a boomer to me. Look in the mirror, comrade.

I played this game non-stop for months until I reliably could play Hazard 5 all the time. But greenbeards who don't know the difficulty system constantly try to join Haz 4 (and sometimes end up in Haz 5 before they're ready) and I could only carry them so far. It ruined a lot of matches and I stopped playing for a while. Still waiting for the day they let us add some kind of restriction to our games besides mods.

The original discussion specifically recommended going out partying and kissing strangers. Either way I think a lot of users are sensitive to the kind of advice/posts that essentially boil down to "here's how you fix all your problems", as if they hadn't considered improving their social lives before today.
