Honestly, if anyone can show me any actual instance, a newspaper article, anything, of a transgender person physically forcing someone to call them by their pronouns it’ll blow my mind.Captain Beans posted:Maybe one day he will hop onto one of his rockets and go on a long trip God I’ve been constantly hoping for this too honestly. Dude is always so self assured and hypes his companies and products constantly. And he himself believes said hype. But lbr, he’d probably say he would like a month ahead of launch, post pics of him in an astronaut suit,,, theeeen come the week of the launch he’ll wuss out.

I remember when people were decrying the move from 140 to 280 and saying it would destroy the format of the site. Hell, I remember that the reason it was 140 in the first place was so it fit in an SMS, the entire founding gimmick of Twitter was that it was a microblogging site you could post to from your phone!! Imagine being able to post from your phone!

her pitch to advertisers would probably be successful if she pointed out twitter is whittling users down until only the most credulous morons remain, which seems like the ideal target for ads. also if they can target blue checks, they’ll know the audience has money to spend on useless poo poo.

Is meta actually more successful with reels? I know my gen x relatives would keep sending these awful videos to the extended family whatsapp group but they don't have high numbers and the ones that do are stolen from tiktok or douyin Facebook reels is also the only place I've seen a houseplant influencer guy presenting "how to kill plant mites" where the video editing looks like he's playing cod on twitch https://www.facebook.com/reel/232576459546391?s=yWDuG2&fs=e&mibextid=Nif5oz

That’s “forcing people” as far as this crowd is concerned, same dumb argument as making a vaccine a condition for employment is forced vaccination. All true, but that's not even what Elon's sniveling about. He (or that sycophant he's parroting) is saying people are being forced to state their gender identity or pronouns. Like it's some kind of company policy across the workforce landscape that you HAVE to say "Hi I'm Bob (he/him)" and this is akin to wearing a yellow star

If someone doesn't want to declare pronouns then that means she shouldn't care what we call xir, so just get creative whenever you talk about/to him until they correct you

priznat posted:I think they’re just mad they don’t get to just be the default anymore it's not even that. they want to present themselves as victims, but they haven't actually lost "default" status in any meaningful sense, nor has anything been forced on them. assuming someone's gender and pronouns based on social cues/signals like name, appearance, or photo isn't going away. i haven't seen any push in the corporate world to actually force everyone to put their pronouns in their email or org chart, or use them in greetings, voicemail etc. and i don't expect that's going to become a mandate any time soon. maybe smaller companies can get away with it in liberal areas as a blanket policy, but most everywhere else it's going to remain voluntarily. same thing on social networks and most in person events. of course people are free to add pronouns to their emails or use them to introduce themselves, and that pisses bigots off, but there's literally zero hardship if you're cis. if you do nothing at all, people will be able to address you correctly. the only "hardship" is that now they're being asked to be respectful of other people who state their pronouns or correct them when they use the wrong one. it's hard to call yourself a victim in that scenario, so they make up some other reason, like pretending being referred to as "cis" is a slur.

Musk had caused concern among advertisers and agencies by dismissing at least 80 per cent of Twitter’s workforce, including many of the ad sales team, after taking over, in a significant cost-cutting effort to boost its flagging finances. https://twitter.com/shaun_vids/status/1589961357214240768

I think no corporation would do that because it runs the risk of forcing someone who's not ready to come out at work to either misgender themselves or push them into that decision, and neither seem like something you'd want to do.

They'll just see it as another personal slight against them instead.

i was blissfully unaware of who lex was until i saw an interview he did with todd howard in the starfield thread maybe ~6 months ago, and christ it's one of the worst interviews i've ever listened to. like, not only were his questions dumb as hell techbro babble, but todd was basically feeding him juicy stuff to ask about and he kept ignoring it to spout off more of his own dumbass ideas.
