I do not understand this sentence.
The gentleman in question would like to make it public knowledge that he has lately become exceedingly thankful for the pleasant and convivial conversation, chit-chat and general hob-nobbing afforded by the presence of those other parties attending this perpetual soirée we have come to call ‘lemmy’.
I do so love that you think I'm a dude. It's like Reddit all over again. Haha.
Well a woman can be a Gentlemang too if she wants to.
I mean my husband does say I'm a total dude.
Dude is also a title for every gender.
I got banned from a great, progressive sci-fi and fantasy writing community for several dumb reasons similar to each other, one of them being I said Wikipedia and the entire internet said "guys" and "dude" are gender-neutral. (And yes, it was a great community. Nothing's perfect though.) Also for suggesting that maybe one day we'll be progressive enough to have a dedicated non-binary pronoun instead of "they"— at the least so my novel-writing is less confusing when multiple parties are addressed. The admins claimed I was talking in "anti-trans rhetoric". Hilariously, I have trans and non-binary protagonists in my novel, and everyone there knew it. My best friend also moved from another state to become my housemate, and she is MtF trans.
Probably an admin who was pissed at you for what ever reason.
I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying guys. That's ridiculous.
I'm picturing an East LA cholo but in a full business suit delivering a PowerPoint presentation to a board of other cholos.
Interesting I fixed that typo immediatly. Yet you see it?
Idk exactly how data propagates from instance to instance, but it's highly likely that edits don't make their way from instance to instance immediately, and fairly likely that your change only exists on your instance.
Oh noo my imperfections are shining through
Everyone is a dude on the internet my dude x
You should put your pronouns in your display name.
I can do that? My pronouns are she and sir.
Go to your user settings and put your display name as
Bones of the Moon [she/sir]or something like that.Shure :3
