  • Not disagreeing with anything you said, I just find it mildly amusing when people call things war crimes when they took place before the Geneva convention. There was no international agreement on what a war crime is at that time, so technically nothing was a war crime back then. They were free to commit all the genocide they wanted.


  • Well, to make a more serious comment instead of just quoting an old song from an old movie, it’s definitely most important to call people by pronouns that they prefer. That’s the number 1 priority.

    That said, I have some trans friends who don’t like gender neutral pronouns in general. One in particular has explained how much she has gone through to be able to identify as a woman, and using “they” instead of “she” makes her feel like she still isn’t a woman.

    So the real answer is there’s no one word that will make everyone happy. They best way to do that is to ask people the pronouns they prefer.








  • I haven’t tried in over 10 years, but I was able to back then. It would probably take a bit of practice to get it back, but I’m sure I could figure it out again.

    Since then I have owned two cars with paddle shifters, which I think is the best of both worlds for a casual driver who likes playing racing games, but has never driven on a track and doesn’t really plan to.






  • My current setup is using the former, but I did the latter for so many years and the only issue I had was the clock would get fucked up after booting Windows. But I agree, it’s much safer to have your Windows SSD physically removed when installing Linux so grub doesn’t get installed on the same SSD as Windows. I wouldn’t do it with all the horror stories I have read. My good experience was probably dumb luck.
