Didn’t they not get along great before John got got?

There it is

Graaien could be clutch, claw, scrabble, grasp, or snatch, maybe?

When a piece of content that doesn’t allow downvotes, like a tweet, has lots more reposts than it does likes, the “ratio” is seen as proof the opinion was disagreed with, proportionally to the “ratio” itself.

It’s only ever those specific things, because if society actually LIKED or WANTED those things anymore they’d be doing them and it wouldn’t need to be “conserved”.

Oh, you want to keep your traditional folk dance or scarf or goat-herding technique? Great! Those damned melting pot liberals love that stuff. They eat it up. They want more cultures to explore. What they don’t want is to be told they’re going to hell for who they love, or that child labor is good or any of the other insane things “conservatives” want to conserve.

What does this part of conservativism that you subscribe to seek to conserve? How is it not in line with American conservativism?

“clearly wasn’t”

I see now, you just phrase things abruptly in a way that SEEMS rude but clearly isn’t. My mistake. Have a nice day.

Fair enough.

Not sure why you phrased that as correcting them when you were agreeing and adding to it.

Oh okay, you said not to so I thought you meant don’t. Thanks for being cool with what I’m in to

No clue about motorcycles but those things look neat and win awards. I want one now. Thanks for turning me on to this neat bike.

The part where you assumed something southern also had to be racist was where you accidentally revealed your own prejudice. People may be noting the irony approaching hypocrisy.

Oh that? That’s just where the bird had painful rashes and lesions from being made to lie, stand, eat, sleep, breed, breathe, and die knee deep in shit. In shit. It’s fine to eat.

Lego, Gatorade, the eagle guy from sesame Street (bird), and a koopa, or Turtle for T

That’s not okay. What if somebody told you that you’d eventually revert to cisgendered? That’d be very hurtful and rude. Telling this person their sexuality identity will change because you think it should is wrong

I think that you hit a key note here: it’s a crossover meme from other spaces. They’re not Linux memes. I do get the joke, and why you make it, and I understand the concept of intersectional solidarity, and that it’s a good thing.

I also think that when people who have been marginalized for a long time find spaces that accept them, tend to treat any space that accepts them as a space made “for” them and their issues, when really Linux has nothing to do with what’s in my pants or yours or anyones. Linux isn’t a men’s thing, or a women’s thing, or about gender at all.

I (don’t) appreciate the fact that instead of empathizing and trying to address my concerns, you’re telling me I’m overthinking it, and explaining it to me like I wouldn’t understand the concepts of let’s see, the meme itself, capitalism, socialism, and FOSS software.

It’s a joke, yeah, I get it, but jokes are supposed to be funny and instead this one is using harmful language about trans people and FOSS software. Stop. And don’t act like anyone who doesn’t agree with you just doesn’t get it.

I’m glad trans people and non binary people feel comfortable in Linux spaces. Everyone should feel accepted in what is ultimately about computer software. At the same time, I find it a little confusing just how much content seems to find 1:1 equivalence between trans/enby movements and using not-windows.

I really want trans people to feel comfortable here, but I also feel like the frequent repetition of content like this post sort of commoditizes transness. Am I not a valid trans person if I prefer Macs? Am I not a valid Linux user if I’m happy with my AGAB? Again, really happy trans/enby people are happy here, but when we start saying group 1 equals by definition group 2, people from both groups get left out.

That’s a funny clip but let’s be kind to each other. They were trying to be thoughtful in their own, admittedly unique, way

But the photons made it through the atmosphere in the first place to be collected by the reflectors. Is there just not enough energy left to make it back out before cooling off?

I appreciate your saying that, and your desire to be respectful of people’s names. You had good intentions. I hope you have a great day.
