Why would someone want to add gendered pronouns to a language

For adding specificity to lamguage. If you are talking about several people, the disambiguation can be handy.

We could have add pronouns that distinguish by size, or age, etc.

The really stupid feature of most indo-european is the arbitrary gendering of most nouns.

Holy defeatism, Batman!

I’m a govt. contractor. I will retire the day before he’s swarn in. I’m not sure what I’ll do beyond that. A lot of Americans already retire to Costa Rica or Panama. I’ll have to decide whether to run away or stay & resist.

Biden’s going hard on diplomacy, most of which we don’t see. We do see some of the carrot and stick approach he’s using. The stick is the canceled shipment. The promise of future arms is the carrot he’s dangling in front of isreal.

Biden reeeeealy wants to see Netanyahu gone

Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)

This can only be proved by killing everyone.

I don’t find this creepy at all. All the “personalities” in my brain are just parts of me.

In other news… I lost the game.

Aktchually… SS benefits are pretty progressive. Those with lower lifetime earnings will see a much higher income replacement percentage than higher earners up to that $165k-ish limit.

Lifting the taxable income cap would not fully eliminate the funding gap. We’d also have to pay out more to those higher earners too. If we didn’t, it would change SS from insurance to wellfare. And that would lead to (Republican) lobbiests fighting even harder to privatize, limit, or end SS.

K8s is great, but you’re chaning the subject and not answering OPs question. Containers =/= VMs.

If space is full of grifters, we need a planetary anti-grifter defense system! I’ll call my congress person…

“Homicidal Maniac” is a good term for a serial killer who believes they are somehow being ethical.

Richard Stallman is the patron saint of Open Source. Stallman, like all “saints” is a pig headed extremist who is maniacally single minded. I’m very glad he came along.

Alas, the alternative to capitalism has never been socialism, but feudalism.

The rise in interest rates meant easy money dried up for corporations. They all had to “monitize” at the same time. That’s why enshitification happened everywhere at the same time. Things are easing. Enshitification will slow down.

It’s not even a concious conspiracy, it’s just the result of “the attention economy”.
