And yet again, the Tangerine Palpatine is focusing on stupid shit.

Farmers unable to gather their harvest? The working and middle classes being squeezed into oblivion? Grocery prices skyrocketing? Unknown drones taunting our military bases? Military helicopters colliding with commercial jets?

Nah, none of that stuff matters! Instead we just focus on fucking pronouns in emails!

What an absolute fucking joke.

Edit: fixed a typo.

Sucks for anyone named Jamie or Alex. Trump is acting like he won in a landslide, even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.

I thought he actually got the majority of voters this time?

Sadly it’s a mandate until people actually start pushing back.

Does that include Mr. Mrs. and other gendered titles?

[–] brightandshinyobject@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Of course not, those are heteronormative.

Of course. How else will we prevent future aviation disasters?

What about the people who often have DDoD, OCIS, NCIS, CCNA, CCNP, A+, Ph.D, MA, MBA, BA, BS, K12, SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS after their names? Can we get rid of title abuse then never focus on pronouns?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

App can go except for "SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS". Because that one is SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS!

I’ve never done this, but this would make me start doing it

This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.

Or, in my case, for solidarity and normalizing it.

This would make a great pronoun or title attached to your name. Sign off every email with ...

John Doe
Jesus Fucking Christ
