> Suspected members of the IRA, the Irish paramilitary organization, were also on the list. Oof the international politics always come out in things like this. Twitter also publicizes all of its suspensions and bans. There's a Wikipedia article with a list of all the notable suspensions since 2010. It's interesting to see that, contrary to popular narratives, many of the international groups banned were actually far-…

????? I just went through the entire table of suspended people and there were almost no far left groups besides Antifa. Most of the suspended were either far-right/alt-right, trump related, doxing related or spreading miss-information.

It's not good that you are uncomfortable when it asks you to talk about it with its preferred pronouns. It's 2023, it's about time you try to do what it ask you to do. When it tells you its preferred pronouns, try as hard as you can to follow it.

"It" has a pretty clear meaning in English, and it is not as a pronoun for people. You seem eager to reduce this to "just" a pronoun issue, but it's not the same as calling someone "he" or "she", whatever they might prefer. No one gets to single-handedly (re)define the English language for everyone else. "It" in this usage does not fall in to normal English usage, other than to mock people. That they want to use it n…

> "It" has a pretty clear meaning in English, and it is not as a pronoun for people. Therefore you're not Bill Gates or a person.

TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew > In March 2021, crimew was indicted by a grand jury in the United States on criminal charges related to her alleged hacking activity between 2019 and 2021. The charges were unrelated to the hack of Verkada. Her home and her parents' home were raided by the Swiss police at the request of United States authorities, and her electronic devices were seized. People used…

How such supposedly talented hacker end up to be doxxed? It's not that hard to become 99.99% anonymous online...

Thank you, I'm considering adopting this as job title, like "senior unfucker".

Mine is principal dung roller.

I’ve long described myself as half janitor, half firefighter.

I totally understand wanting to be respectful, but respect goes both ways. She needs to respect the fact that her odd pronouns are literally breaking the English language for people who want to use them.

That's a problem with the English language though. There's not a singular only version of "they" and there probably should be.

After Miner49er went to the store, they went the bank.

After Foo and Bar went to the store, they went to the bank.

If we don’t need a singular-only you, why would we need a singular-only they?

I find it particularly amusing that you used the wrong pronoun while scolding me to use the correct pronouns for her. If that doesn't prove the impracticality of using "it" as a pronoun, I don't know what does. It breaks the rules of English that we all understand subconsciously, so it's difficult to do without consciously thinking about every single usage of a pronoun in a sentence, which is not how most people type…

I use the word "they" in that context all the time regardless of gender or pronoun. I actually thought about that before using it. It's a common use of the word "they" in casual English.

But what if that usage is against its preference?

That's an odd take but I'm getting old. Once you cross 30 its incredibly to spot when someone is an NPC laundering hate in the guise of reading minds. They're clearly young or angry, so you let it go.

The adjective is missing from your comment so I mean not sure whether you meant to write that it's incredibly easy or hard. I certainly do not presume to be a mind-reader, but I do have experience with gender dysphoria. Self-hatred is a hell of a drug. She appears to have talent in connecting these data sources, but she's also in way over her head when it comes to motivation. On the world chessboard, she's a pawn. I…

As I understand it, self hatred arises not from gender dysphoria but rather how others treat the person experiencing that.

> downloading the no fly list and offering to share (This is a genuine question) but where's the actual value in having this list? I'm afraid I regard it as yet another piece of security theatre. Full disclosure: my passport always fails to scan at the UK Border automated gates. I had a discussion this week with yet another border agent after getting another "seek assistance" message and having to queue for a manual…

We can be pretty sure it's not to protect anyone. Anybody too dangerous to allow on an airplane should probably be behind bars. What it does accomplish is letting the government punish people without justification let alone a trial and with pretty much no transparency or consequences when innocent people end up being hurt by it. I imagine that's a power which is hard to surrender, and 'we the people' haven't exactly…

> Anybody too dangerous to allow on an airplane should probably be behind bars.

Someone who the US deems a danger but isn't in the US would fit this criteria.

Surprised to see this guy wasn't already in prison due to his previous antics, and it's too bad he didn't responsibly report this issue through the proper channels. Everyone's luck is bound to run out at some point.
