They are... exception gendered languages that gender objects are, as you say, overcomplicated (adds complication with no or minimal utility). In english the gendering is obvious by appearance and thus doesnt add any additional complication.

@Amikke

She is not considered proper english for a shit. The proper pronoun for a shit is "it".. so no it does not disagree.

That said, people do sometimes call a ship "she", which is improper, for the poetic reasons I mentioned before. Among people who have particular respect for their ship they usually call it "she" because of the poetic notion that women are treated with more care, compassion, and respect by men than other men... its more of an inside poetic license nod.... The proper gender for a ship in formal english is NOT she though, it is it.

@jgg

Yea i prefer a language that is gendered but the gender matches the reality where objects are always "it"

@Amikke

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

Huh? No you never said that.

@Amikke Ok so you are talking about languages which have mandatory gender for non-gendered things.... ok on that we agree its an overcomplication. But we are talking about english, so that doesnt apply.

All genders in english are it except for things that actually have gender, in which case its the gender... So there is no complication to it, you know somethings gender by looking at it.

It just has the added benefit that when we want to be poetic we can call somethign that should be an "it" a "she"... it isnt complicated because there are no rules, you can just do it to sound nice. Its not like german where scissors are male all the time.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

Did you or did you not say that COVID levels are exactly where they were before the government mandates? So yes, you claimed that despite the vaccines levels are unchanged, which is complete bullshit anti-vac nonsense.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

You literally posted claiming that despite everyone vaccinated there is absolutely no improvement to the COVID levels compared to pre-vax.... sounds pretty damn anti-vax to me.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

For all those following along attached is the context where it is clear i was parroting back what he said to demonstrate the idiocy of his claim.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

Wow great to see you both took it out of context and are lying to everyone... I notice you intentionally left off the link so they wouldnt see the full context.

For the record I was mocking you for being anti-vax and claiming the quarantines, vaccines, and mandates had no effect on current COVID levels.

Funny how you left that part out...

@Amikke

> sure, every overcomplication of a language has the ability to be more expressive.

If it serves a function in expressing certain ideas more accurately then it has utility. Therefore it wouldnt be an **over**complication (that is when something is complicated without benefit)... what you meant to say is an increase in complication.

@Amikke I disagree, genered language has far more utility in the arts than non-gendered language as it has the ability to be more expressive in more ways.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe Yup, pretty sure anyone who repeats what you said, like I did, will ultimately look like a "fucking dumbass".... seems you learned the point of this interactions afterall, wonderful!

@BetaCuck4Lyfe Thank god! Couldnt handle much more of that level of stupid...

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

Yes I am a native american. Penobscot tribe.

> Did you know that feom 2019 to 2021, the life expectancy for native Americans fell from 71.8 years to 65.2, with Covid largely to blame?

Sure did.

> No real cost though, right, Tech guy?

Huh, I never uttered those words... you are arguing with ghosts of things I never said.... YOU are the one who claimed all of our efforts were for nothing because COVID levels are exactly where they were... YOU.

I find it hilarious you are offended and fighting against your own words parroted back to you.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

I'm literally just repeating what you said as fact.. so if that seems like ignorance and offends you, imagine how I feel reading it when you said it?

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

"No effect, yep. Perfectly sane thing to say. Tell me, where'd you get your virology diploma?"

I didnt say it had no effect... YOU are the one sitting here claiming that despite all that effort the levels are exactly the same... YOU said it had no effect... im just responding to what you are telling us.

So there real question is where did YOU get your degree?

@BetaCuck4Lyfe Ahh good, you forgot to throw in the personal insult to show your opinions are meaningless... glad you remembered to add that!

@BetaCuck4Lyfe

Why would you say nonsense like that? I care deeply about them, which is why after you pointing out all those deaths would be exactly the same with or without the quarintines in the end, since eventually quarintines end and as you point out they changed and would change nothing...

The real question is why dont YOU care about all those dead people who have now died for absolutely nothing other than to be leveraged to bankrupt everyone? That sounds like a huge disgrace to those lives, to let them die for less than nothing.

@thatguyoverthere

The pronouns i fill in on the form at work

"Jeff gets a 10% raise, this is a verbal contract"... now every time my boss addresses me he has to give me a raise :)

@georgetakei hahahah... she would.

Curious, i notice your posting almost exclusively from this site lately... Anything special about this site that interested you?
