Tomorrow I’m gonna start reposting [email protected] content on here and justifying it as anthropology.

It might not have been particularly malicious, but your interpretation is a bit of a stretch. Besides, this never happened.

Something similar might have happened a few times, but never to original OP.

I can tell he’s the kind of man who is very proud to be habitually reckless and cruel.

There’s a recent increase I’m pretty sure would be quite substantial if you could get the data. Anecdotally, I’ve seen it several times in recent months.

Pratchett isn’t new, but the popularity of that quote is.

The new wave of fae is very much disconnected from old myths.

And it’s a bus.

Why should the name of the vehicle type depend on whether some governments have a tendency to make them free? It’s still a bus. A small bus. A shuttle and a bus. Perchance a shuttle bus. Or just either. But definitely both.

I think specifically the parts that get modern Google Earth style 3D mapping are always shot from airplanes, I looked it up a long time ago when I was wondering why I couldn’t see our new address in 3D.

I have no sources at hand to share, but I’m sure more detailed information is easily ducked or binged or whatever you fancy.

But you can look at Dublin, for example. Compare the light green and dark green parts: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NJn5DhpW85ym9yCa7

I then compared it to San Francisco and New York, which are even higher resolution.
In rural areas the resolution seems to get lower again.

Some people definitely use it in the “there are literally basically no women here, so you’re lying” way, even when the % of women gets over 10, 20% or more.

I feel like the only places where the saying/attitude loses influence is when the distribution gets closer to equal.

But yeah, yours is the ideal interpretation. We’re practically anonymous to most users, you can use it to be treated like an equal. You can talk to anyone just the same as anyone else – even the most bigoted won’t know, so you have their ear just the same as anyone else would.

The obligatory part of it changes things, I didn’t know that.

But yeah, I’d say in general a more anonymous internet/forum was in some ways better. Things become a little different when people already know someone’s more personal details like gender, and stuff like country, profession, etc.

You sure you’re not comparing it to Google’s airplane footage, instead of their satellite footage?

How do people like you survive?

No, sex gross, make it all illegal please. We have the technology, only synthetic crotch goblins from now on.

We need a literal horny jail, and enforcers with clubs.

And the distinction is pointless. It’s a bus. It is. It simply is a bus. Some kind of bus.

Bus.

ButtBidet [he/him]@hexbear.net has an [x/y] pronoun tag, signaling how important they consider their pronouns, and explicitly instructs any user referring to them to use those specific pronouns.

Obsession is sometimes the right word, but I see it more as unnecessary messiness either for their own validation or to signal allyship.

I don’t think we need an internet culture that puts enough value on pronouns to call them out so clearly above all other things. I think getting the pronouns wrong should be fine, just like any other thing we get wrong.

Besides, we already had much briefer language for this. They chose “ButtBidet [he/him]” over “MrButtBidet”, the reason is strange. Like their name.

I don’t know what it is about a certain kind of nerd and everything “fae” recently, but I feel like too many things are being associated with faeries, and put under an umbrella term named after them.

And their power level is rocketing up to Galactus levels.

It’s like the words magic, myth, fantastical and supernatural have been replaced by fae to make it all fairy-esque with pretty and/or grotesque twigpeople as mascots. Sometimes it seems Godzilla is a fae, Thor is a fae, Bigfoot is a fae, Kraken is a fae, C’thulu is a fae, Jehovah is a fae, Dragons are fae.

That’s what happens when you go full yankee

Double-nuked then groomed into some weird mix of insane but obedient by daddy Joe.

Harambe is overcome with jealousy.

It’s how people with pronoun-tags tend to deal with arguments.

Jeg er nådeløs, all veps som kommer innom hos meg er dømt til capital punishment.
