Why does it feel like I’ve seen this episode of Adventure Time?

Gotcha, thanks!

I think the problem is that people don’t want to be just “other”. Because that’s what “xer” is.

I am cis and straight, so I don’t have full comprehension of what it feels like not to conform to the norm, but even I understand that if we have only one other pronoun, like “xer”, it’s just saying “the one that isn’t the norm”, and it doesn’t matter if you make it sound like one of the other “normal” pronouns. That doesn’t normalize it. It just silently, yet officially and publicly reaffirms its abnormal quality.

We have to realize that there’s obviously a floating spectrum here, and people don’t fall into predefined buckets sometimes. Some do, but some don’t.

The human brain is built and evolved into a categorization machine. What is edible, what isn’t. What is attractive, what isn’t. What is safe, what isn’t. Black and white, good and evil. We want it simple, and we get confused, afraid, and angry when it isn’t simple. This is something we must recognize about ourselves, and really work hard to go against if we want to evolve our way of thinking.

This is clearly evident in the way you express yourself here.

THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR NAME

MEMEME

friggin annoying

Please, can you just be like everyone else

most people would be fine with this

my special snowflake pronoun

Your anger and fear of the complicated shines through much brighter than you might think. I think it’s time you sat down and had a big, long thinking about who you want to be and what you really want to say.

Much love to you, and thank you for opening yourself up.

Is that Arch-based btw?

Are we talking about the author of the article or the initiator of the Xlibre project?

Anything this release you’re particularly excited about, OP?

GO OUT AND RUN! 🥲

I don’t understand why everything gets AI these days when literally no users are asking for it. Nobody wants it. Nobody who is somewhat smart, at least, who can produce their own shit.

I’ve also noticed at my workplace, even smart people who have decades of experience in programming and writing documentation. I’ll ask them a question about something they might know, and sometimes they don’t. So then I’ll say, I’ll just try and dig into the docs 👍. And they’ll go, nah man just ask [Bing AI, whatever it’s called], or ChatGPT. I’m like 🤦‍♂️ I’m 15 years your junior and I’m not afraid to look things up and search for things, and write my own texts. FFS.

It’s dumbing people down when they get access to it.

I refuse it. I don’t want to use AI when searching, when writing, when coding, when finding info. Never.

Which is…?

Whiskey Lullaby maybe

So it’s a YAML quirk then?

Must not have quotation marks. Removed them and now it’s working.

Man that’s finicky…

God knows I do. 🏸

That the new pw?

Did you just enter your password on here?

Would that be more or less, do you think?

There’s an implied “[what looks] healthy is beautiful”…

We… obviously can’t peer into people’s cells while we’re walking around town and people browsing… I didn’t think I had to clarify this. 😄

Obesity is not beautiful. It is unhealthy

I’d even go so far as to say obesity is unattractive, because it’s unhealthy.

Healthy is of course beautiful.

That’s a hot take, ngl.

Rarely even a little bit looks good. You can just tell immediately.
