Mja, sommige competitie-evenementen hebben veel wel dezelfde (sport)kleding, heh. ;) Plus ze zijn allemaal jacked up uitziend, niet die zielige blutte zakenmannetjes als in Squid Game. :D

@knuppelbeer Moet je wel lang kunnen volhouden. Zodra je stopt is het niet fris meer.

@knuppelbeer Dan ben je dus dood door de hitte? Is dit stiekem een seance?

@olives That backfired greatly. Also to do such a huge change with a few percent difference is stupid.

@auldlangsin I remember a buddy of mine babysitting a hamster for a few days because its owner was on holiday.

We built a whole house for it out of lego.

Stupid animal didn't appreciate it and did a prison break. ;)

*Boosted a relevant post* :D Been a year ago, it was getting time to bring it to attention again!

@realcaseyrollins

@sergeant That's why it's so important to make a habit out of putting things in fixed spots. :D

Never lost my keys anymore. My phone rarely. And my glasses I always wear!

Apparently using *they* as a singular pronoun (to use instead of *he* and *she*) is hardly a new phenomenon. It dates back to 1375 in written records!

In fact, singular *you* is much more recent! Dating back to the 17th century! 😂

Oh, this quote's fun, and it shows that our gender-related issues has been going on for centuries:

> In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much.

I'd say it's probably safe to use *they* in general. I do use singular *they* regularly and it's the least fuss imo.
