ITS JOB IS TO SOOTHE ME!!

Well, then! teleports behind server I guess we'll just have to be... katana swish Extra-cringe! tips fedora

cracks knuckles Time to make a new fake account and nuke them with shitposting and Grandma Memes!

Yes, 100% my point! Who needs to know stuff when the Government and rich people are already looking out for our best interests? Poverty is a non-issue, everyone owns 2.5 houses per capita, this is a utopia! Books just ruin everything!

/s.

This'll only happen once education is restructured almost entirely. Critical Thinking has not been on the menu for a long time (if ever), and it's not in the interest of the Powers That Be to increase critical thinking in individuals - people who really think tend to ask relevant, but uncomfortable questions.

Conspiracy theories are a side-effect of biased education.

This says more about us than it does about the chatbots, considering the data on which they're trained...

Weird hill to die on, this, where you'd rather defend words than people.

Well, judging by the myriad dictionaries out there, this word has been gendered well before this subject's been broached.

I am unaware of that video, blissfully so according to your observation!:))

Oh, I just use "sibling" or "sib" for that level of familiarity, easier that way:))

"Mate"'s nice, mate, but... I dunno, feels like it doesn't fully capture that... pizzazz that "dude" and "dudette" have.

Multiple sources, including Merriam-Webster, Cambridge and Oxford state that "dude" is a masculine noun, synonymous with man, guy, etc., so I disagree with this. As an exclamation, sure, as it's not referring to anyone in particular, so it can be taken as an impersonal interjection.

100% agree with this, shouldn't even need to be said!

However, I would posit that we need an inclusive equivalent for everyone, as the ethos of "dude/dudette" is, in my opinion, well worth keeping - some people simply are THAT cool!

I'm nowhere near smart enough to come up with new words (barely smart enough to use the ones we have...), but I'd totally want to have that sentiment preserved.

S'all good, Capitalism subsumes criticism of itself and sells it back to us.

Positively drooling, beautiful dish!

Not slighting the dismissal of those who didn't partake, don't get me wrong! Every situation has nuance, not denying that! I was referring to the overall culture which took root there, and from that the purely utilitarian observation that it's easier to change the mentality if you change the people (in one way or another).

My initial reaction was to laugh my ass off at the extra drop of crap in the collective cup. Upon a second take however... considering what a horrifying den of depravity ActiBlizz became during the past years, this may turn out to be for the best in the long run...

Thanks for the work-out!

Terrifying concept!

Stolen, thank you!
