Which are sometimes as or more important than answers, but it does tend to reveal that it’s “turtles all the way down”
Just one more collider bro, one more I swear. And we’ll know everything.
Semenal album more like it
Good to know, thank you! Yet more reasons to avoid it
I think the point is that to you, it’s just semantics. But, to use your example, given that some people have started intentionally using “female” in place of “woman” as an (arguably) subtle way to exclude trans women, it suddenly becomes more than semantics to both trans and anti-trans populations. That’s what Smotherlove is saying about “dog whistle” language only being transparent to the perpetrator and the victim.
So from your/my perspective (admittedly assuming you’re neither trans nor anti-trans), it’s largely a case of “a few rotten apples ruining it for the rest of the bunch.” What should just be a semantic difference has been coopted and intentionally weaponized by some, so all of us have to be conscious of whether or not we’re making that worse.
It’s also not a new phenomenon. Many epithets start as PC terms and then become offensive based on how a specific group starts to use them, notably, almost every one-time PC terms for Black Americans and people of color. Unfortunately, it’s basically the reason that, for at least 100 years, (responsible) individuals/media have had to change terms for many marginalized peoples every 10-20 years, with many other examples, like “Oriental” and the terms that predate it, and plenty of others.
This must be how you get “binders full of women”
What is this from? It’s great
I hear they eat food cooked by rats
Idk I feel like chaotic neutral would be something surprising without being much more likely to be negative for someone else than neutral. Something actually random would be a note like “look in your socks” or a random phone number
But there is in causing panic or a potential breakup
Maybe they can’t fly, but no one said chickens can’t be fly
Hippest new bar in town, drinking 6 Michelob ultras in a snowy parking lot
Good riddance
Ahh thank you
What is Barold?
Fair, low-risk not no risk, but a good buy
But when money fails (hyperinflation, sanctions, digital collapse, bank failures, violent revolution, etc.), countries who already have gold reserves will be the only ones with anything of value.
Beyond that, just by virtue of the fear of any of those events or general international turmoil rising, the value of gold rises, too, as one of very few stores of wealth that can survive any such event. Investing in gold is a great low-risk move for guaranteed returns on huge reserves.
Edit: I don’t know why people are downvoting this lol. Talk to literally anyone in finance.
That goose is so fly they call his feathers “up” instead of “down”
