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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Everyone is a dude on the internet my dude x

You should put your pronouns in your display name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can do that? My pronouns are she and sir.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Go to your user settings and put your display name as Bones of the Moon [she/sir] or something like that.

I loathe all people, but you're okay, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Awww thanks hand computer friend.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I can tell that this is written by a girl. Not because pink, not because cake, but because the dang sexist clothing industry has somehow turned even "pockets computers" into a male privilege.
