Yeah, unless you're particularly well equipped for that type of interaction, you're unlikely to get any kind of satisfying outcome by asking them a question
Those sorts of people have a lot of experience gish galloping, rationalizing their own contradictions, and feeling smug about whatever bullshit response they give.
I don't think their facade is impossible to engage with or break through, but it will always take more than one clever question to get there.
Anyone participating in this discussion in good faith
Did you read the article?
No, we are not.
The article describes multiple queer activists and groups supporting BDS as a component of Pride.
protests outside of LGBTQ+ rights do NOT belong here
The article also describes the direct link between BDS and Pride.
It's the easiest way to share a screenshot
That's great, and it's nice that you don't have to deal with that jolt of dysphoria in those situations.
I'm simply saying that it's also common (and okay) to not be entirely comfortable with those terms. Especially from strangers or acquaintances.
I don't think seeking to reduce the linguistic pattern of male as the default is a misguided effort.
"Offended" is a bit of a strong word.
Many trans folks are, understandably, bummed out when gendered terms that refer to their AGAB are used to refer to them.
I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to avoid causing that brief moment of dysphoria. That just feels like a thoughtful and kind thing to do.
The headline is a straight up lie. As per the article itself, it was conceived of in 1966 and experimentally confirmed in 2020.
Excellent news! Thanks for the response! May the dice gods bless your rolls!
I love using magic items in place of house rules. It makes it easier for everyone when "house rules" are explicitly spelled out in an item description, and helps prevent players from being confused or surprised about which rules do and do not get enforced and in which way.
To contribute my own D&D 5e specific example: I like to have enchanted weapons that each have access to one or two battlemaster maneuvers per short rest. e.g. Quarterstaff of Tripping (trip attack) or Commander's Longsword (Commander's Strike). To keep it simple, I use the weapon's damage die as the superiority die.
You uh... you do see the irony of this post, right?
Especially considering the portmanteau you've used in the title contains a slur.
Voyager 2 is programmed to reset its orientation multiple times each year to keep its antenna pointing at Earth. The next reset is due on 15 October, which Nasa says "should enable communication to resume".
I too would love to vote for AOC, which is precisely why her endorsement matters to me.
I trust her judgment enough to want to elect her, so I also trust her judgment that the best path forward right now is to support Harris.
