The only time you would ever need to use someone’s pronouns is when they’re not part of the conversation anyway.
no? it would be weird to use in a one-on-one conversation, true. but it is fairly common to use the third person pronoun of someone during a group conversation, even while they are there
Richard Rhodes’ The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail…
but i would say it is either the Curie’s experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi’s reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.
Mac owners have money? more like had money
snowballing
yeah, it is not snowballing, it is Network Effect. for the people who want to use a twitter-like social network, the value is in the many other people using it.
but, as you are doing, telling people to leave is the correct move. because for every person that the network loses, the network loses value for everyone (the network effect going in reverse)
Water is almost 90% oxygen by mass. It is over for OP

RPS already has an article “celebrating Alices in games” as a sneaky attack on this.
google (and other ad companies) keep a digital profile (or footprint) of all your clicks. so, for example, if you click on an ad for a fantasy book, they will save that you are at least interested on fantasy books, giving you more ads for that. in theory that might not sound so bad (“hey, at least the ads will be more relevant”) but in reality the amount of data that they store is incredibly invasive.
by clicking random ads, the quality of that profile would go down, as it will no longer be your true interests, thus “messing with digital footprint”
I like that the fireman was so polite and whisper, so to not disturb him during his relax time
i wouldn’t even be surprised if they started to say this again soon
Reverse of this happened for me at the end of The Big Sick. I was “wow, maybe i am racist but the actor is really similar to the guy”… it is based on the real life story of him and his wife
it is an in-universe propaganda film in a fascist regime. it is not the nazi fascism, but it is still facism
i’m going to stop calling it twitter when twitter.com redirects to x.com, and not the other way around
at that point i would stop talking about it, because X is just too stupid
maybe i have never been in proper situations, then, because in my experience, people will use pronouns or names indistinctly
