What language did I use? I can’t see my comment since it was removed.

We need to move to single payer healthcare and just eliminate the need for insurance companies.

The switch is basically just a smartphone without a SIM card.

I was speaking figuratively when I said all babies are swaddled. You decided to chime in with an irrelevant AkShEwAlLy, so claiming I’m too ignorant to participate in the conversation is very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I accept you lack the capacity as a person to admit you were wrong and concede, so instead I bid you good day and hope that someday someone better than you will inspire you to become better yourself.

Interesting. So that shows the formatting without disabling it like \ does?

I ask because it showed up as a me tion on my end.

Explain to me how you saw a link covering literal and figurative language and still decided to ask such an ignorant question.

Far enough. Your reply showed up in my mentions and replies, although jt doesn’t look like you edited it?

There are separate categories for replies and mentions, at least using Jerboa.

It’s averaged out across a pay period, and in my twenty plus years in the service industry I’ve never heard of a server making less than minimum wage. They’re generally the highest-paid employees on a per hour basis.

The group of people who benefit the most from tipping are the servers.

Stick to topics you actually know something about.

So not at birth then?

Since we’re just linking wikipedia articles that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

You’re confusing sex and gender. Sex is a function of biology. It is binary. There are two sexes, and which sex you are is wholly determined by presence or absence of a y chromosome.

Gender is a social construct.

This is the entire reason that the term transgender is used now instead of transsexual.

Also, your whole analogy is shit. The concept of money didn’t spring into existence because people already had coins. The coins spring forth from the concept of money. By your logic, we only have genitals because society got together and decided that we should all have a sex.

That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard in my life, and Ive read several tweets from Donald Trump.

That’s a great question.

Edit: did you get notified charles@lemmy.world

Society does not create sex. Society creates gender. Gender is a social construct. Sex is an expression of your sex chromosomes. The genitalia you have at birth weren’t decided upon arbitrarily by everyone in the room, they’re a direct consequence of whether you have or lack a y chromosome.

You made it perfectly clear. What happened was people who don’t understand that cis and trans are real words with real meanings that weren’t just made up to describe ones relationship to ones gender at birth decided that they would weigh in on the subject.

I don’t think any of them passed Latin class.

Hetero and homo describe a relationship between characteristics. Sexual preference and gender are both characteristics.

So not at birth?
