"guys and gals" explain in way same as "cow" refer in technical for woman bovine but in usual term to any bovine. Either woman or man bovine is "cow" in group. Unless archaic "kine" I have not ever heard used in speech. Also "duck" is refer for man and both woman water fowl. Drake correct word for man in the species.
I am agreeing with you in this problem. I have a large dislike for this term. The gays pick so many words on how to say about them. And we then get word placed on us. Also word that I heard only in derogatory contexts as to this day.
"Partner" is a mostly term used with gays. straights many feel strange to apply this term to husband, also wife. Can someone not simply ask about "spouse"? There previously exists term without gender for such persons.
It is only once I hear y'all from woke people that I start to understand why people dislike so-called "cultural appropriation". It is cringey and weird-sounding to me. And also if you were to speak to these same people saying "y'all" in any southern accent you would be seen as uneducated.
The irony of downvotes on this above comment above mine comment.
There is a third option. Most people are stuck with this. It is staying quiet and saying nothing. Because there is unity in extreme right. And there is unity in extreme left. And there is no unity in the center so these extremes can pick off each individual center person who says something.
It's slow to start, constantly downloads a bazillion updates. Information-wise, it's not very dense. It's hard to customize; doing so requires a bunch of hacky stuff: https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasscord/wiki/Installation
Using a third-party client is a bannable offense under the terms of service. I hate the little "emoticon" icons that are all over the place. It set itself to auto-start on boot (this behavior may be different on win/mac). I don't like trusting it with my messages. It tries to show what applications users are running at the moment. There have been some improvements, but I still don't trust the security of electron.
These are some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Generally, it always seemed like it was both trying to baby me and seem "cool". It's many of the things I hate in modern software in one application. It's a chat app, which should shut up and show me messages, not try to double as a social network. It's also a voice conferencing app, which should shut up and transmit/receive audio, not try to double as a social network.
I know a lot of other people who seem to like it as well; good for y'all. All of this would be much less offensive if it hadn't banned me for opting out of its webshit.
I got a discord account banned recently, and they wouldn't tell me why. My guess is that it has to do with my using a weechat bridge rather than their garbage client. I have to do the same for slack and for signal (which, by the way, is terrible even with signald), because they too have garbage clients. I have a much better experience when just using plain IRC.
No, I'm specifically worried about things that coastal California residents tend to support, beyond things like increasing cost of living. Higher taxes and firearms restrictions are probably the two highest among them.
