And functionally, how is that different?

Lander replies: ‘You don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant’

Unfortunately it seems like they do!

But if you start doing that, where will it end‽ You must be a bad person for doing this. No true Lemmy user would do it. Most people don’t do this, it must be wrong. Has anyone asked what the admins think?

A fair point, I’ll put my hands up that I didn’t read the article before commenting, and made some assumptions based on the headline.

But ‘you can always tell’…

Not that it’s new information, but it’s still disheartening that not only is Trump corrupt, but he’s also too stupid to even be corrupt well.

no gratitude to America

Has she even said thank you?

Would that be your classic ‘meant to lose’ fight, usually against the big bad, which is technically winnable but the vast majority of players will lose and progress the story as planned? The example that comes to mind is Ghost of Tsushima, but it crops up in plenty of games.

No, I’ve done nothing!

I’m lost! Where is the bathroom?

No hablo ingles.

I’m coming to help.

Where can I find you my friend?

Oh no, they see me…

Problem is, if they could feel shame they wouldn’t be asshole grifters.

Now Dennis, I’ve heard that speed has something to do with it.

Both things could be true.

Unfortunately, the ‘firing’ is usually a golden handshake and jumping straight into heading another company to run that into the ground too. After multiple rounds of layoffs of course.

Hopefully the toilet!

I’m not sure fucking it would have been any better.

Who needs logic, this is a discussion about beautiful beef dammit!

Absolutely, and I think jumping on people for making honest mistakes doesn’t help anyone, as with most things it’s the intention that’s key. In this particular case though, I don’t think there was too much ambiguity, and she/her seems to me like the safer bet.

My understanding, and I’m by no means an expert, is that they/them would be used for an unknown gender, or for someone that has chosen those as their preferred pronouns. But in this case, the article and discussion is about a woman, so I think she/her would be the preferred choice.

I dunno, still seems like misgendering someone, just with a different reason for doing so.
