And not-gendered.

I’m a dude, you’re a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, I fuck dudes, why do you ask?

[–] prettybunnys 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I also fuck dudes, why do you care?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Just to be clear, I only fuck the sorts of dudes who want fuckin, so don't think of me as some sort of dude-fuck peddler, okay?

or Duder, or El Duderino,....

I think it probably has far more to do with phonetics and the ways different sounds carry emotion than with the gender identity we insist upon associating with specific words

Kiki booba?

What company is ok with their COO saying shit like this next to their name?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

Probably self-proclaimed COO of an MLM she sells shit for.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

It's censored out like the rest of her name. It said coomer originally.

[–] brrt 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Shouldn’t it be „me neither“?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes it should. Kind of in the same way that it should be "I couldn't care less" instead of "I could care less" which I've seen a lot more in recent years.

Bernie said “could care less” in his response to the sotu last night. Made me cringe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Literally just talking about that! I agree that the original intent (and, you know, meanings of words) should make it "couldn't" but I think the two have linguistically drifted together within the phrase.

The rules-boy in me rallies against it, but the descriptivist in me celebrates and I couldn't care less how he said it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Wittgenstein said that language isn't actually semantic in its natural state. Instead, language serves as a sort of game to accomplish social ends.

"I could care less" serves the social end of telling everyone you have no critical thinking skills and shouldn't be taken seriously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Lol, that second thought boomed me pretty good, thanks

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 1 points 2 days ago

Lol.

On a slightly more serious note, it makes dry humor a bit harder to land since you can't rely on subtlety as much. Like "I could care less about my SO" in context where it's the punchline of a misdirection joke.

Such is life though.

Yes, do you think someone celebrating sexism is going to be the kind of person that edits their tweets before sending them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] RowRowRowYourBot 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do you not see the overt sexism there?

[–] the_crotch 0 points 2 days ago

I don't. I see someone pointing out a quirk in language.

Girrrlll, you a nazi.

Maaaaannn, I love not being a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Girrrlllll, it's so brave that you shared that information about yourself in public on the Internet next to a picture of your IRL face.

[–] agamemnonymous 24 points 3 days ago

Both of those have multiple other uses, good and bad. Maaan is used for amazement and girrrl is used for incredulity.

Looks like a solo marketing op, she dating/married to that guy?

Actually, I don't care. Nor do I care about her name or whatever. Let her live in peace.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And what are we supposed to do with this information?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 days ago

Oh that’s actually non of my business. You could contact her and ask her how she is doing. Just as an idea where to start.

If only someone did this for healthcare ceos and not LinkedIn lunatics
