Diva (she/her)

I dip my bread in pickle brine, had no idea I was being profiled

what’s the appeal? I’ve run into no reasons to switch, and I don’t even use any apps.

G but on my left shoulder

agreed, plus as it stands they’re actually somewhat on track for the “Russian disinformation” leaked 100 day peace plan

no worries, sleep deprivation can be quite taxing

Sounds like you have no reason to be defensive. Here’s some posts of yours if you wanted to edit the binary pronouns used for cis people to be they/them to be more consistent though.

And figuring out their preferred pronouns isn’t always easy.

usually the pronouns are listed somewhere or you ask

This isn’t as simple as a lot of people want it to be. Going neutral isn’t a slight. It’s not misgendering. It’s a way to avoid accidentally making an error even with the best of intentions.

There’s a reason many trans spaces in Lemmy require listed pronouns, it removes the guesswork and you can reference inline.

If you’re using gendered pronouns for most cis people but then specifically degendering trans people it’s going to eventually rub people the wrong way. People aren’t going to care if you make an error while being well intentioned, especially if you ask for more information and correct yourself going forward.

Point is that avoiding gendering text has been and will continue to be the safer option for general purpose writing.

I do the same, but if someone’s gender is known it’s really not hard to use one of their preferred pronouns.

I don’t think that’s being the ‘thought police’ and it’s certainly not something to focus on instead of hate speech, we can do both.

throwback!

Not all of the countries problems can simply be attributed to ‘the enemy’ on the other side of the planet. The dysfunction I’m pointing out is home grown and enabled on both sides. The republicans are obviously worse, the democrats prevent anything better.

Russia is affecting those things in the us though.

People being unhoused, going hungry and without healthcare is bipartisan consensus in the US and Russia has nothing to do with that.

MS-13 or Russia

neither of those are real concerns tbh. Americans should be concerned about housing, feeding and providing medical care to everyone before worrying about external threats.

accidentally waste their time making mean comments that I can’t see

making comments people don’t see or acknowledge is one of my favorite pastimes

You clearly didn’t take into consideration the damage the Trump administration promised would happen to the LGBTQ+, so your gender is as irrelevant to the topic as mine is.

My vote had literally no impact and Kamala won my state. She ate shit everywhere else due to her participation in the genocide without my assistance. I think I assessed the situation and the impacts of my vote just fine.

Maybe try listening to me next time instead of dismissing me like you always do.

We could have had Harris, and then worked to stop the support of Israel. How?

THE SAME FUCKING PROTESTS YOU ARE ALL SO ADAMANT ABOUT RALLYING EVERYONE TO JOIN WITN YOU IN!!

All of you would be back at brunch like normal if she had won.

Yes one of the two genocide candidates won, the genocidaires were always bound to come out on top in this system. Their fate is intertwined with US interests so it’s always going to be protected as bipartisan consensus

I don’t bother upvoting or downvoting generally, I use web browser on mobile and it’s too many clicks.

You write a lot of words to say not very much.

They’re all next on the list.

Yes, we all are, I’m visibly trans IRL too you know.

Recall the first they came poem?

Well this time around the verses would have started with Palestinians - really hard to be surprised when that same process plays out once more. It’s why I have the positions I do, participating in that genocide the way we did set the stage for where we are now.

that doesn’t mean you’re not capable of being a cool person in spite of it.

ty for saying something that wasn’t just dismissive/condescending. You can dislike my political position or the things I’m saying but it’s really really not swaying anyone to act like that.

Hey someones gotta be the one doing the inviting, I help organize a free food party every week

😎🛹

Oh look! It’s another Internet Communist™ hating people for shit they never said, thought, or felt.

You never said, thought or felt that the genocide was OK and yet in another post replying to me about voting:

And you tossed yours away on bullshit you didn’t even care about a year earlier.

1. smug condescension as if I’m not principled and have not held this position consistently

2. referring to opposing my own governments direct participation in a genocide as ‘bullshit’

3. I’d like to hope you weren’t referring to the genocide as ‘bullshit’

You claim that it’s not your position to be in favor of the democrats 2023-2024 genocide arc, but your dismissal of my concerns as ‘bullshit’ has already spoken volumes.
