You know what...
I went and looked this up because of this comment. I had never heard of "it" being used like that.
I've only ever heard it being used to specify something specifically as a non-person, or more generally a "being". So I thought it was literally defining it as a non-being.
So TIL. I wasn't trying to be prejudiced, I have literally never heard of "it" being anything other than specifically a non-living object.
So thanks for the chance to learn something interesting today.
Fair. This whole thread is unpopular opinions, so it's kinda natural for most people to disagree with each other.
Thread participation achieved. I'm not even mad. (งツ)ว
Maybe.
Either way, I am confused about how standing up for cats while literally commenting on /c/cats would be downvoted so hard.
I'm still wondering why everyone got so mad in 3 words, when I was betting nice to a cat!
I wasn't even mean to the guy I was replying to.
Unless I'm missing some kind of context here (and that would be really oddly specific), this is beneath reddit intelligence.
Not that it deserved upvotes either, it was just a remark that I totally forgot about until I got the reply notification. Lemmy should be better than this.
I made myself chuckle, too.
You're welcome.
I don't think a little buzz is ok either. Driving is dangerous at the best of times. Another reply somewhere in this thread already said it, but there's no need to make it worse than it has to be.
Mine are unpopular, but in the other direction.
I think your first DUI offense should be the last time you drive. Period. I feel like the fact it's so lax is due to people knowing they won't be severely punished.
Isn't this how they actually are? I've only seen 2 of these in my life, but both had the big button for a piss rinse, and the smaller one for the shit shoot.
Are you starting an aneurysm?
I haven't come across it hardly ever, but now when I do I'm gonna see the ONG behind the scenes in my head.
I don't know if I'm upset about this yet. But I got my eye on you.
Lol
And as I replied to another, I learned that today based on the wording of their reply.
So that's a new thing I know now. I still don't think "they" is binary though. It's is kinda the star example of non-binary.
But I guess I did exclude a pronoun that I didn't know existed. I thought the word was specifically calling the cat an object, so now I know better. It wasn't intentional, and definitely not meant that way (as in not meant to force or exclude, aka discriminate).
