Honestly, it is not working in Spanish. I know some contexts where this is used, but as a gendered language it is quite complicated. While “Elle” is used for “them” in limited contexts like very inclusive universities, it’s not quite expected except maybe in the lgbtq+ community.

Most nouns end with an “a” for the female gender, so the proposed solution is to exchange the “a” for an “e”, but there’s a good amount of not gendered nouns and there exist already lots of exceptions to general rules. “Student” and “person” are two good examples of very important words with problems. “Student” is “estudiante” is Spanish, which ends commonly with an “e”, so it’s not gendered, you can call someone “el estudiante” (male) or “la estudiante” (female), the proposed “le estudiante” (singular) and “les estudiantes” (plural) sound good enough to me. Now, “person” is “persona” in Spanish, and it sounds gendered because it ends with an “a”, nevertheless, it’s actually neutral for any gender, but it’s usually accompanied by the article “la” which is used for female nouns, so, it’s “la persona” regardless of the genre of the person in question. This is also pushed in authorities, which used to be titled as nouns like “presidente” which is “president” and arguably gender neutral, except it is used for males and important women, like the president of Mexico, demand to be called “presidenta”. Most authorities, though, are going for the “persona presidenta” form, regardless of gender, to refer to the people in charge.

So, yeah, it’s been rather unpractical in Spanish.

I’ll probably use a QR code

Oh, we use all kinds of slurrs for that. Actually, to avoid slurs you can say “guau”, which sounds like “wow”.

I was curious and done with the malware. Living in a very small city in some third world country where the internet was only for some government offices, higher social classes, universities and one or two cyber cafes, grabbing a Linux CD was a daunting task. I got a set of RedHat CDs but couldn’t make it boot in my own PC (a Compaq).

Life got me living in Mexico City to get my BS and suddenly I got many more options to try this Linux thing. Mandrake was now the go-to distro for beginners, since Ubuntu was not a name yet. Installed the Linux, loved it. After discovering the DE variety, I distrohopped for years. It was easier for me to download a Live CD somewhere, often at my University, than changing DE in my offline PC. At that time Mandrake became Mandriva, and I distrohopped between Zenwalk, Slackware, Fedora Core, Dreamlimux (lesser known Debian-based Brazilian distro), then got Ubuntu CDs by mail (they used to send them for free, and even included stickers!), and I settled there until Unity.

I once took a photograph of a pack of batteries that stated the warranty didn’t cover sudden battery discharges due to acts of God, or something like that.

So you can fuck anyone, in any situation, without worrying about contraception.

Butt ( ° ͜ʖ °)

As a Mexican, I just can’t see a prodemocratic side on this, neither an anti-imperialist one. Ukraine chose a side and tried to exercise its sovereignty measuring the forces around itself, but all I saw was NATO, the CIA, with a collaborationist government destabilization op, a textbook one by the American empire. We’d never do that to them, it is not fair, but the gigantic power of our neighbor is real. Here, a prospect of president like Zelensky, talking about taking California back with the military aid of BRICS (it’s hypothetical, I know they are not a military organization), would be treated like the looney they are.

Other than this, the claim of a genocidal war you mention, seem unsubstantiated, but, as I pointed out, the conflict itself is not the focus of this post.

Therefore the balls, it figures. Some other comment includes a song by Primus vocalist from three years ago, unashamedly titled “Zelensky, the man with the iron balls”. And yeah, this trend of talking about his balls, I remember it started several years ago, but it amazes me right now, after years of war and loss.

I wish. It’s the only smartwatch I’d buy after some awful experiences. Well, the Pebble and little better version is the PineTime.

I don’t have a Reddit account. It’s hard to navigate today’s Reddit niche subs without one. Also, I don’t care enough to somehow circumvent this problem, nevertheless, I think you’re right and niche subs out of the mainstream are probably doing fine.

We can’t know the truth, we can agree on that. But I don’t need to, I’m not a religious person or an old school philosopher. At least, I know I’m not actively trying to manipulate anyone else, that’s good enough for me. That Trump is not helping me know more about the real world is something I’m convinced about because, as you know, he lies as he breathes.

About Reddit, they are not an innocent party being played. They are collaborators of corrupt, powerful people. I could respect they denouncing these forces, or at least shutting down; whatever they are doing right now, I can’t. Some Lemmy instances are ideologically charged, but that’s fine.

I did own an Amazfit model, the battery was dead suddenly after less than two years. A full charge wouldn’t last a week.

Sure, but in this case? How “truth” becomes a casualty by putting an army of bots and trolls in a competition to praise Zelensky’s balls? That’s what I think it’s happening. I find it really sad, that they are not praising his strategies, his leadership, or statesmanship.

Smartwatches. Seriously, they are all working perfect one day, and next day they die. Wanna change the battery? Good luck keeping them out of the water, if you happen to find and replace the battery at all, which isn’t cheap anyway.

A bit, sure, but this is ridiculous to me. Anyway, we’ll soon know how important are balls to lead armed conflicts.

What are you talking about? You can write your own post, or even create a community, to talk about testicles, so-called bravery, and or all kinds of balls. I’ve read the answers, not dismissed anything.

That’s not gonna settle anything. Someone here felt the need to explain to me that praising the balls of someone, even a woman, it’s seen as a mean to praise bravery. No need to measure Zelensky’s balls unless, of course, for science.

Several. Tetris, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Mario Kart 64, Chrono Trigger, Starcraft. Those are the ones I can think of right now.

I know where it comes from, but personally, I’d be more enthusiastic of praising his brains if I was in a similar situation.
