  • Is this like some generational thing where people are used to logging in to so many things with their google account that they hate making new accounts? Like sure you can interact with lemmy from mastodon, but the UIs are so different that it's an awful experience, so I don't know why you would actually want to do that.

  • the will to test multiple apps, learning that to login you have to input the server url manually since most aren’t listed in the apps

    I don't get why everything needs to be an app. Mastodon's (and Lemmy's) web UI works perfectly well in a mobile browser.

  • I kind of like the idea that Vulcans' control of their emotions is a genetic trait. It doesn't seem too far-fetched, since Vulcans already have mental abilities humans don't, and it gives a bit of an in-universe reason for why Star Trek writers seem really inconsistent on whether Vulcans have emotions or not.

  • The study you quoted isn't the same thing. It would be more like comparing "people of color" with "coloreds". And to your point about how tall people aren't marginalized, that's kind of my point. "Colored people" is offensive because it's been used derogatorily for so long, not because of the word order. That same wikipedia article points out that there are several marginalized groups that reject people first language. It mentions Deaf and autistic people, but anecdotally I've never seen anyone take offense to "gay people" or "trans people" either. It's just the specific history of the adjective "colored" being applied to people that makes the difference.

  • That's just how adjectives work in English. Would the equivalent be fine in French since "people" comes before "colored"? I'm pretty sure the actual reason "people of color" is preferred is that it signals that you're trying not to be racist, not because of some inherent property of the word order.
