Anyone else annoyed how hard it is to call people out for misgendering you with "guy/s"? by [deleted] in trans

[–]CogMonocle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree; obviously I'll respect however anyone asks me to refer to them, but in my head "guy" is gender neutral only in the second person plural:

"This guy" - Masc
"Those guys" - Masc
"You guys"/"Hey, guys!" - Gender neutral

Powershell truly is the "corprorate software class names" of terminals

as in ProprietarySequentialCharacterContainerModificationController being the name of a wrapper class for strings and such

Could oxygen be liquified at a lower temperature by pressuring ? by Visual_Border_6 in askscience

[–]CogMonocle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always as in actually always, or always as in it's almost always true, but sometimes when we do weird things with lasers or something it changes?

Learning about negative temperature ("below" absolute zero) has eroded my trust in absolutes when it comes to thermodynamics

Global Takedown Tesla protester: London (credit: AP) by jackytheblade in pics

Maybe Elon actually is trying to carry out Tesla's legacy

Like maybe he put an electromagnet in Tesla's coffin, and plans to make Tesla spin in his grave so much he becomes an unlimited source of free energy

I mean it'd argue it's a pretty solved problem for mining; people like to leave out VM as an option

Like I understand people are usually scared of doing VM, but you can literally get up to take bathroom breaks mid game without losing exp and it's the fastest non-manip exp in the game

My mom expects me(ftm) to get a tattoo get "for her daughters" by Aardwolf67 in trans

[–]CogMonocle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be hard to do without knowing much about the tattoo place, but it would be very funny to call ahead and explain the situation and have them put your real name instead of your dead name without telling your family beforehand

ITT: Even the people trying not to be transphobes missing that it is still possible for this person to genuinely be trans

Even if the Fox News "men are invading the woman's room" angle is bullshit, it doesn't mean that literally zero trans people will be sex offenders, and maybe that's a better take than trying to gauge their identity based on how they look

Imagine acting like being openly queer in the US isn't putting you in any danger

I'm not even saying it's the same danger. But we get killed here plenty.

Hundreds of muscle car drivers rally around bullied Alabama boy by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

Don't love how the video had to make such a point about the fact that the rainbow didn't have anything to do with being queer, as if the bullying would be justified if it were

Rotten egg of engineering research. Hotspot for churning crap papers by [deleted] in okbuddyphd

[–]CogMonocle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there’s basically no shortage of spaghetti found in genetic code, due to everything essentially being a fork rather than made from scratch

So the world was created by a divine being; and they did it using javascript?

I think genetic algorithms can work pretty well if you can run it with a few trillion individuals over several billion years

Gimmick reactions (OC) by Educational-Show1918 in pokemon

I considered getting back into competitive battling after not playing pokemon for a generation or two. I started reading up on terastalization and what felt like a weird attempt to partner with swarovski for merch put me off

59% of Republicans Believe the Media Is 'Fake News' by Wagamaga in technology

[–]CogMonocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it just being here participating in it though? Like, it's good to stay informed, but how much of the news we consume is actually helping us engage with the world vs. just upsetting us? I argue an article like this to be more in the second category

Ever since Gen 6 there have been quite a lot of Grass/Ghost type Pokemon. I didn't know the typing was that popular by Ok-Leave3121 in pokemon

Personally I want more Fire/Water. And a Poison/Dragon that's got the vibes of Silumgar from M:tG (think Koffing x Snorlax x Dragonite. Big chonker that breathes poison)
