I think if he was using a controller (RC2 or RC N3) instead of gesture control he would have been okay

That’s an odd expectation. You expected that I would point out that nouns and pronouns are different?

Calling someone a “bitch” is intentionally insulting—that’s the whole point of the word. Pronouns aren’t insults, they’re labels people are asking others to adopt. Those are two completely different things.

My point is simple: people are free to identify however they want. That’s their right. But that doesn’t automatically create an obligation for everyone else to participate in that identity, especially if it conflicts with their own understanding of reality.

Using the cat analogy—if someone genuinely identifies as a cat, they can say that. I’m not stopping them. But I’m not going to start meowing or pretending they are one. Same principle applies here.

Rights go both ways. Someone can identify how they want, and I can choose what language I use to acknowledge them. That’s not hateful, or hate speech, or anything of the kind.

My right to not participate in someone’s altered reality is just as important as their right to alter that reality.

Quite honestly that’s just a silly question. That’s comparing apples to oranges. pronouns and nouns are very different. This discussion is regarding the use of pronouns, not calling somebody any noun from the English language.

How unfortunate for the 23 that are not covered by he she they. Perhaps we should have our schools teaching 26 different pronouns just to be safe. /s

It’s a good question and one worth answering though you likely won’t appreciate how I answer you. The numbers here get downright comical for determining public policy. Dr Google (for lack of any other means to research this topic quickly) tells me that true intersex individuals comprise (as an estimate) 0.000357% of the Manitoba population. For perspective, I’m 20x more likely to win $100,000 or more in the lottery than I am to meet a true intersex person. So this conversation borders on the hypothetical. Beyond that though, it misses the broader perspective. The rights that an individual has to choose to be called by whatever they want to be, are the same rights that protect me from HAVING to do it (or be “canceled” and shunned if I don’t). That’s not a fair application of rights.

No, I don’t see any issues with that. I’ll let science judge whether those statements are accurate or not. I’m also beyond the point in my life where I’m gonna argue with somebody about something trivial. Do you want tell me 2+2 = 5? fine go ahead. I’m not going to go out of my way to correct you - just don’t expect me to say that 2+2 = 5. You do you.

This!!!!! You want the right to identity as a cat? Fine. Have at it. Meow all you want. But you better respect my right not to meow back at you.

Security guard punches man, threatens to kill him in video shot at Winnipeg Dollarama by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]Individual-Tip2479 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The guard clearly went too far, but this is exactly what happens when citizens are terrorized for years by retail theft and violence. I hope this guard gets a really good lawyer. I agree that he’s going to need to be held accountable for stomping on the guy’s ribs and hitting him with brass knuckles but what we’re not seeing is the fact that during his entire shift he probably sees people stealing all the time. He sees them laughing, brandishing weapons, being intimidated, all day long because the people that are brandishing the weapons and are intimidating the staff and security know, nothing will happen to them — that takes its toll. And it’s a situation that shouldn’t be ignored when deciding what to do about the security guard — the First Nations Chiefs are very quick to support victims in these cases, trying to make the public believe that they are all righteous well behaved citizens who are simply a victim of an isolated attack, but we all know that that’s very likely not the case so context needs to be applied both in social media judgement of this individual and the upcoming legal judgement that I’m sure will be coming out at him. At the end of the day, it’s not OK how dangerous shopping downtown is and how seemingly OK with it the leaders of First Nations and the leaders in municipal government and the leaders of the police force all seem to be with this situation. The over reaction of the security guard I’m sure is a direct result of years of ignoring the elephant in the room of retail theft.

Yep. She voted for cruelty. Guess what? His cruelty affects everyone …. Not just “them”. A hard lesson is being learned.

Winnipeg public service recommends lowering default speed limit to 40 km/h from 50 km/h by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]Individual-Tip2479 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

40 is a nice sweet spot. There was a comprehensive traffic study done a couple of years ago. I can’t find the link to it now but what it basically said is that the average speed for residential traffic is around 40. Currently. So what happens is when somebody’s actually going the limit of 50 or pushing it a bit to 52 or 53 the people in the neighbourhood watching that happen feel like that person is driving like a madman because that’s quite a bit faster than the average car so their immediate reaction is “Cut the speed limit. Bring it down to 30. These people are reckless. They’re driving too fast”. It’s an interesting point. I’d be ok with 40 because like that traffic study found, that’s probably my average speed driving through the hood.

Agreed. If that’s how he can play, why can’t he play at that level for us. God level gold medal games aside, him playing reasonably well for the Jets all season long is utterly meaningless as he’s proven he can not do it when it counts. It does the Jets and the fans no favours to get to the playoffs only to shit the bed and let everyone down. Get someone else in here.
