> And crossdresser has nothing to do with trans, intersex, or non-binary. This is a completely different matter and doesn't belong here.
Yea we already concluded something similar, and I agree. not that crossdresser doesnt belond but rather that intersex doesnt. But similar logic.
> As said in another post: please stop!
No and your toxicity and desire to tell people you have no idea about what they can or cant say isnt welcome here.
> What about asking the people affected by this? You see, I don't think it is up to you how you label people if they have chosen to use LGBTQIA+ to include all non cis-het people.
Thats quite the high horse, but most importantly, how did you conclude im not effected? I have made no statements on my time online (intentional) of which groups i belong to.
You have no knowledge of either if I asked effected people or if i am one of them.
More importantly they can identify however they want and use any term they want when they speak, I certainly wont be correcting them or calling their speach wrong, I will just use the speech that I decide for myself as well. More importantly because LGBTQ+ is a different word with a different meaning. It is intended to encompass a much larger range of people than I am by breaking them out.
Thats like saying "They prefer to be called mamals, not humans"... we usually have many words to describe the same thing because they define different sets and subsets.
> And just so that you know: it is not about gender *expression*. It *is* our gender, not how we *express* it. Expression (or presentation) has nothing to do with someone's gender.
Yea I already conceded in a thread that the terminology needs some adjustment. Note exactly for what you express but closely related.
> Please stop this.
No, you have no right to tell someone, someone you have no way of knowing if they are even personally effected or not, to stop this. YOU dont have that right.
> Thank you for your understanding.
More than happy to consider your concerns, and feel free to voice them. You are welcome and thank you for providing your opinion.
@trinsec this one is technically a tablet. It has 8 cores at 2.8ghz so would feel silly not to call it that.
Putin, who makde sure Trump one had one goal in mind. To get us to hate billionaires so we can tax them out of existence and destroy our own economy and no longer compete with Russia (or anyone else).
Based on your response it seems Putin has had the very effect on you he wanted to have.
@trinsec could be.. his was e-ink right?
Woooaaaa, so my new color eink tablet has a cool hardware feature i just noticed... the backlight is can change not just its brightness but also its color temperature. While that may not sound so cool for a regular screen it isnt really common on eink displays since its the actual backlight. But rea i can make my backlight as warm or cold as id like
@ericjmorey probably something like what they did here.
@VoxDei you are expecting the 1975 numbers to be significantly better than current numbers and 1900 numbers I take it?
@VoxDei not off hand, but it wouldnt be too hard to research
@ericjmorey On closer inspection I think your right. Two reasons.
1) There is no size selection on this page, so my earlier explanation doesnt make sense
2) even though they are the official distributor of this brand I noticed when i go to their brand page **all** (except one) of their products are either 1TB or 0.5 TB.. This suggest they did what you said but across all products at once.
@sabbatical I am sorry :(
buried my friend and former bandmate michael nicholson on thursday. he had cancer back when we recorded the salvation navy, and was clear of it a decade ago. but it came back with a vengeance.
died last friday at hospice in brantford. left behind a wife and 9 year old child. brutal stuff.
here’s some old photos with both of us! (he’s in the red toque, hugging me from behind in the first one)
@freepeoplesfreepress Well its settled, I am just Jeff's AI creation and he did such a good job I am convinced I am him :)
@ericjmorey actually ive seen this happen before. It isnt that they switch the product. Its that when a product is sold in various sizes then the reviews for all sizes show in one space. In and of itself it isnt suspicious as I see it constantly on products i buy.
It also wouldnt make much sense as a business model... you'd have to spend time and money selling legit products only to sell a handful of bad ones before scrapping it. They would make more just keeping the original listing, especially when the pricing is similar.
What are you even on about. Inflation stands to harm us all inthe long term, but no, right now we arent dealing with record homeless or starving... in fact the rate of people below the poverty line (which adjusts for devaluing of money) is not significantly worse than it was preinflation. In fact while inflation will harm us that's a long term thing.
I am in no way pro-trump but I also find it funny how all the pro-biden people are raving about how the economy is great under him, that is until the anti-corperate bs gets thrown in the mix. Its like whatever first the narrative you want to sell is what youll say, no concern in the least for accuracy or objectivity.
@freepeoplesfreepress hahaha ironic for a person who works on AGI :)
On second thought you may be right re: gender. I could have swore just a few years back i had this debate and agreed with your definition but then was shown quite clearly the definition of gender I described here. I went to search for it again but cant find it and mostly find definitions that agree with you and my earlier (what i thought was now invalidated) understanding of the definition... So now im nto so sure, probably going to have to refine taht part entirely.
@realcaseyrollins Queer doesnt mean anything objectively. Everyone who uses the term comes up with whatever definition they want and roles with it... the definition you describe im sure is one many would use, but its far from universal.
