It may not be intentional, not plenty of women feel harmed, belittled, and ignored by the use of language like that. So we should stop using it. It doesn’t add anything, and it does, in fact, harm people.
And for the record, it’s not the meme, it’s the title of the post. I just think that making the explicit or implied assumption that you’re talking to a bunch of dudes whenever you post online is just not helpful, that’s all.
I mean we’re not all fellas. No need to refer to a specific gender, right?
Avoiding casual misogyny is also important. You should avoid using gendered language like that when there’s really no need.
“Fellas”? Do you not want any input from non-fellas?
Yeah, remember when you used to have to buy minutes??! With some plans you could roll over unused minutes, but with others you couldn’t! Like 20 bucks for 100 minutes and you couldn’t even save them from month to month! I’m glad those days are gone, but I’m not sure we’re paying any less…
I did a similar thing, but I would tell them the phone number of the public phone I was calling from, so they could call me and we could have a normal conversation. If they didn’t call right away, I’d do it again, knowing they’d be waiting for the number this time.
For large sums of money, it’s pretty common to use cashier’s checks, which is probably the kind of check that they’re talking about here.
Apparently as long as it’s not a paper towel you’re alright. So go ahead and wipe your tush.
You’re right of course.
The Moral Majority was the real start. Friggin Reagan invited the loonies in and the right has literally never recovered. We’re all paying the price.
As an actual 40 YO divorced dust that used apps for a bit, I felt weird doing 10 +/-, but I can’t imagine there are THAT many guys with such a wide range.
I don’t know anything about you, but that’s like the archetypal narcissist’s response!
“Obviously you made a mistake, otherwise you’d be agreeing with me.” 🤣🤣
Definitely didn’t misread the article. Maybe you’re misunderstanding it?
Umm, no there is not a government agency in this country (US) that provides “oversight” of journalists in order to ensure “responsible” reporting. Some organizations put up with that as a way of operating in certain countries, but you should definitely always be looking for sources that DO NOT. That is not a free press.
But in this case CNN is requiring this themselves. reputable news organizations don’t have the regional bureau okay the stories.
It’s just ennervating to keep reading people complain that TV “news” is biased. There’s no such thing at a television news organization, pure and simple.
This is an easy fix: stop reading CNN. I am of course assuming that you have already realized “watching” the news is like asking your parents to read you a story, and letting them choose every story. That’s not news, that’s entertainment and it’s not very entertaining. Go read what the journalists are writing, and try to read a lot of them.
Interfering like devising a wild scheme with fake electors because you’re convinced you should have won, and then encouraging your people to go fight against the peaceful transition when it becomes clear your harebrained plan isn’t working? Interfering like that?
There is going to be oversight on this decision as well, they’re just following the process. The Trumpets have 5 days to appeal and I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
I first used Linux in the late 90s, and it was just something that worked better on an older box. I installed Red Hat on an old 286 and the fun part was honestly getting it to work and learning about computers. Then one day I realized that I was spending all my free time working inside on this thing, but I was living on the water, in the Florida Keys, with access to boats and jet skis and pretty much anything. That had been my dream my whole life and all of a sudden I was living it. And I didn’t even have to be at work, right next door, until 10am. I was on a break from school then, and that’s actually what caused me to change my major from CS. I didn’t think it would be helpful to spend my whole life indoors!
Now I’m a physics teacher and I sometimes teach my 9th graders how to use Python for simple things like graphing. I love my life and I’m really thankful I keot computers as a hobby rather than as my profession.
