Next time, take it one step further lol:

I don’t think I have a favourite, but I’m definitely with you - when it comes to food prep I’ll always choose an item that is one solid piece over one that has joins (and other unnecessary grooves and crevices, or that is porous) where crap accumulates and is hard or even impossible to remove.

Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) just finished on tv as I scrolled past this post, parts feel directly ripped off from Big Hero 6, not bad, but nothing too amazing.

Also watched Baby Done (2020) with Rose Matafeo who I love, which was fun if a little heteronormative. Got a great gif out of it though, thanks for the reminder:

.

I also started watching The Ghost Goes West (1935) earlier today but nodded off halfway through, not sure I’m missing much in terms of plot, but I might try and watch the whole thing through if I get the chance, just to see how Florida was portrayed lol

And then… Then there was Triangle of Sadness (2022) - private yacht going liberal Hollywood sniffing its own farts pretending to be at the vanguard of progressive thinking, or in the immortally centrist words of its creator: “I am equally as hard on the poor as I am on the rich”, which tells you everything you need to know really. Much like current events- there are brief and fleeting moments where the true villain/s get a minor sampling of what they deserve, but ultimately they still come out on top, and only after the victim is portrayed as the real villain (because the creators, and the privileged in general, can’t imagine another way, only the tables being directly turned, and their victims treating them the way they treat their victims), before the status quo, which was never under any real threat, is restored and liberalism wins once again lmao. The fact that it’s being lauded as some ingenious political satire is deeply depressing.

E: I also watched films like Junior and Sister act, and some of the other 90’s classics that are regularly on tv, but I’m sure no one needs introducing to them, and I also feel like I’m missing some other lesser known films, but my brain is a bit of a sieve lol (E3: to prove my point: I’d completely forgotten I’d watched Everything Everywhere All at Once, and definitely not because it was forgettable lol)

E2: also the latest Jurassic Park sequel is on tonight against fuck all else, so I’ll be watching that, followed by Ferris Bueller’s Day Off lol

The whole thing just sounds like a data collecting scam, having PayPal involved is confirmation.

Though anyone who loves the foodstuff should also definitely be wary of scams - in the UK it was recently reported that nine in ten honey samples fail authenticity test (TL;DR: most honey you buy is just sugar syrup), I don’t doubt it’s just as bad in many other countries, and almost certainly worst in the US.

I now have the hilarious image in my head of a toddler giving their granny a pat down (image of one in case the term isn’t familiar to everyone), thanks! 😂

E: replied to wrong person, oops! 😂

I’ve played Rabbit Escape but looks like it’s only for android and pc

I watched Minari (2020) which was pretty good.

Also Under Suspicion (2000) and Panic in Year Zero (1962) which were both terrible.

Unless you can ask a straight man how many guys he’s slept with, it isn’t gender neutral, no matter how resistant to this fact you are.

E: the fact that neither of you give a shit about the people telling you the term isn’t gender neutral, doesn’t apply to us, and that we don’t feel comfortable with you using it to speak to or about us says it all. No matter how much mental gymnastics you do to convince yourself otherwise you are the ones choosing to be the problem instead of actually listening to others and showing some basic respect. It’s an easy fix, too - all you have to do is give a minimal fuck about others.

Hey…

Folks

Friends

Comrades

Everyone

People

Pals

You motley crew

Weirdos

Siblings

Fuckers

…how you doing, wanna go to the movies?

(this is by no means exhaustive list, the point is there are plenty of existing and perfectly acceptable alternatives, pick one, or more, and get comfortable with it)

The literal meaning isn’t gender neutral, but in actual practice, it 100% is.

Unless you can ask a straight man how many guys he’s slept with, it isn’t gender neutral, no matter how resistant to this fact you are.

Practice self and community care.

One of the best ways to confront a bigot is by pretending to be completely naive of their intentions, and getting them to dig their own hole by repeatedly asking them to explain what they mean.

Yeah I can see where you were coming from, definitely wasn’t trying to criticise you or anything, just think it’s always good to shame and name these abusers, they’ve earned it.

Did you actually read the link they posted? If so, why are you so quick to jump to the defence of a sexual predator? 🤔

The movie didn’t sexually harass anyone, Francis Ford Coppola did.

(To be clear, I agree with you, and while the movie sounds like garbage no one should watch, and it looks like at least some in the production team were complicit enablers, my point is that there is no need for the general statement, when there is a specific perpetrator to name)

When I was a kid my parents wanted to open up an existing cavity under our house to build a basement, and that never happened because it (E: was discovered during the building inspection that it) was full of Radon. I guess I’m desensitised (but possibly slowly decaying a little faster than I should be…).

They can find another line, or skip trying to be funny altogether if the only way they can think of is gendered and they can’t be arsed to check the gender of the person they’re talking to.

And lets be honest - it wasn’t that good a joke.

Either way, it really isn’t fucking difficult, and is definitely easier than whatever the fuck this mess is.

Your app would ideally just respect display names and it would require no extra effort on your part to gender people correctly.

Even if pronouns aren’t displayed, it takes even less effort to use neutral pronouns for everyone unless you know otherwise.
