Seems like the hope is to dilute it down, so that it doesn’t have the same impact. Which may or may not work with the base, but I’m reasonably confident a majority of people will never not see Nazism as a super bad thing.

Nazis are the real victims in all of this, clearly.

If ‘the blacks’ have removed power from the n-word, then why can the hosts still not say it? Is it because words do still hold powerful meaning and it’s the context that gives it that meaning? And that there is still no context in which the word Nazi can be reclaimed in the same way racial slurs have been?

Do me a favour, don’t go chasing waterfalls.

‘Like I said before, tariffs will be in place from 1st July August September, there has been no change to this date’.

But you can still get hold of a VHS player if you were so inclined…

A duodecimal system would have been so much nicer.

Everyone loves a library!

But if you start doing that, where will it end‽ You must be a bad person for doing this. No true Lemmy user would do it. Most people don’t do this, it must be wrong. Has anyone asked what the admins think?

Would that be your classic ‘meant to lose’ fight, usually against the big bad, which is technically winnable but the vast majority of players will lose and progress the story as planned? The example that comes to mind is Ghost of Tsushima, but it crops up in plenty of games.

Problem is, if they could feel shame they wouldn’t be asshole grifters.

Now Dennis, I’ve heard that speed has something to do with it.

Unfortunately, the ‘firing’ is usually a golden handshake and jumping straight into heading another company to run that into the ground too. After multiple rounds of layoffs of course.

Who needs logic, this is a discussion about beautiful beef dammit!

Absolutely, and I think jumping on people for making honest mistakes doesn’t help anyone, as with most things it’s the intention that’s key. In this particular case though, I don’t think there was too much ambiguity, and she/her seems to me like the safer bet.

My understanding, and I’m by no means an expert, is that they/them would be used for an unknown gender, or for someone that has chosen those as their preferred pronouns. But in this case, the article and discussion is about a woman, so I think she/her would be the preferred choice.

I dunno, still seems like misgendering someone, just with a different reason for doing so.

The article uses she/her pronouns, which seems a reasonable choice. Any particular reason you’ve gone with they/them?

If I had to hazard a guess, I reckon they’ll have done more than one story on this.

Same, but it does mean ‘around’ or ‘approximately’, so would still work in this context.

Circa?
