That's absolutely fine. If you want to be wrong, that's your right.

I'm sorry if this offends you.

I wish I had your confidence that capitalism can be tweaked into a fair system.

I honestly think the logical end point to capitalism is self-destructive extreme wealth disparity.

Sorry pal, it's not me creating these "new" definitions of words. Take it up with the Gender Studies bods who are literal experts in this field.

No one is getting hurt because of factual logical opposition. Trans women are not real women. This is a biological fact.

Sorry, wrong on two counts.

Although they've been used interchangeably, because typically they align, sex and gender are two separate concepts. I'm sorry if this offends you.

Trans women are women (gender), although they are not biologically female (sex).

These are facts. I'm sorry if this offends you.

Tbh, it seems like you're the main party here sticking their fingers in their ears. If someone has already identified Lemmy as a place that doesn't welcome their prejudices, then would they still post that stuff here?

Look, I'll be helpful. If you want to dunk on trans people, go to Mumsnet - that place has turned into TERF Central.

"Oof. Right in the blocks"

"What a load of absolute blocks"

"It's the dog's blocks"

Camera zoom into extreme closeup. "oh... blocks".

Yep, that's the one.

Each time or cumulatively?

Even imagining this pronunciation hurts my ears.

I think you're a little off on the "we need to fix this world" guys.

Although zombie films / TV series lean heavily into the action side of things, that's just because it's more entertaining than watching people building things, developing tech, doing scientific research.

Remember with COVID 19? Huge numbers of people immediately set out to find a cure, inventing and deploying ways to prevent and monitor the spread, creating pop-in treatment centres, etc.

I used to take this to school with me to read during form periods!

I'd been a fan of them since they appeared as a proper army in White Dwarf, although I remember being a bit disappointed that the weird and colourful squigs had been functionally replaced with chubby little rippers.

And for anyone wondering, even for the time the old Zoanthrope looked stupid.

It's the money-men making the decisions now, instead of people who actually care about the product.

Mind you, this isn't sustainable - by shifting to the more "luxury" end of the hobby, and their refusal to embrace emerging technology, they're creating huge gaps in the market for exploitation.

They're on the verge of Nokia-ing themselves out of market dominance.

I'm seeing a lot of international messages getting this wrong, so this is how you refer to the Prime Minister of the UK.

First, we normally refer to the PM just by name, like anyone else. So, "Keir Starmer" or "Mr Starmer".

"Prime Minister" is not used as a title like "President" is. He's not "Prime Minister Starmer". He's just "the Prime Minister" or "the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer".

Unusually, this new PM is also a knight. Of course, this has its own rules.

If you want to use this title, it's not quite as simple as replacing "Mr" with "Sir'. The first name is more important than the surname here. He's not "Sir Starmer". He's "Sir Keir Starmer" or "Sir Keir".

Hope it helps!

Hi,

I've recently bought my first EV - a 2014 Nissan Leaf - and hoping someone a bit more knowledgeable than me could help :)

The car itself has a Type 1 and CHAdeMo socket.

I have a Type 2 to Type 1 charging cable and a separate adapter plug, but I've found that some charging stations have Tesla branding and weird two-part plugs on that don't seem to fit.

In the interests of being able to use as many charging stations as possible, I'd really like to know which adapter would be most useful to buy!

(I've mentioned UK in the title, as I'm aware America likes to do its own thing when it comes to plugs.)

Any help would be really appreciated!
