Linux guy. My time here at Lemmy has acclimated me to his kind.

Oh yeah, people were saying Picard season 3 ripped off the idea.

I didn’t even think about the name of that shitty platform when I jokingly wrote that. Let me be clear that I do NOT use X, btw.

I use x btw

Better mail it back to the company after you’re done digesting it.

Is knowing slang terms for gangbanging really that important?

I’m not a foreigner and had never heard the term before.

I use AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCH btw

I’d like to know if there are any XKCDs that are no longer relevant.

Are penguins even allowed to use any other OS?

I use AAAAAAAAAARCH, btw

Same!

I don’t use Arch, btw

Agreed. I recognized that we needed a neutral term for non-trans people, and since we weren’t champing at the bit to present one, it was done for us. I see it so often now that it’s strange to think it ever seemed unpleasant to me.

There’s a great example of a word that’s been completely reclaimed that still makes me wince a bit because of how it was used when I was growing up. I’m glad it’s been fully defanged now!

All of the allegory went completely over my head, which is not unusual for me. And since I’m cis I have the privilege of not having to think about how gender roles affect me in day to day life. The “red pill” thing does make it pretty funny when you consider how right-wingers, who are super transphobic, took it as their own.

Writing this got me thinking that I hated the term “cis” when I first started hearing it years ago. It just sounded unpleasant, like “sissy” or something. But it’s grown on me through repeated usage.

If anything, the media usually pushes this stuff for engagement. I certainly knew all about Caitlyn Jenner’s transition despite having no clue who she was before that.

Looks like it was first one, then the other from a google search.
