mastodon just swallowed the last 12 hours of posts again, wth
it actually worked, looks like shit but it works. super glue for the win!
urgh, the glue holding the right one together is completely gone, I don't know if that is fixable. I mean I could always try and if doesn't work I could still toss them
@sj_zero Interesting, I have to admit, I haven't come across this way of looking at society or this class dynamic in the exact way you lay it out (do you have that from somewhere? Like a philosopher or writer?).
But you basically think that anyone who is putting pronouns in their bio is chasing after that aristocratic "glamour" and that is why you think it is bad to do so?
@sj_zero okay, I think I'm starting to see where you are coming from. Regarding "being the first thing you say about you": I think people generally like to assert their identity and their choice of pronouns is an important part of their identity for some. But you still lost me with the "aristocratic class" who are they?
@sj_zero you liking a more anonymous of the net is a-ok, but I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say. You make it sound like "elitist" are demanding you give your pronouns in a given conversation. And concerning your comparison to aristocracy: Who was legally entitled to a special title "in ye olden days"? Only the aristocrats. Who is now legally entitled to "a special title"? Everyone. So I don't think that comparison really works.
In other news: the stem of my wireless earbuds broke. On the bright side I now have an excuse to buy new ones
@sj_zero leaving the legal aspect be for a moment (not an expert on that), thinking in more practical terms: how do you propose we communicate how you want to be referred to online? Unless you literally don't care, I don't see many sensible solutions and you don't strike me as a gender abolitionist (if you are then there is that)
Almost got a heart attack when I got logged out of the ticket app and then my bus ticket was missing.
Good thing I was able to log back in in time
@sj_zero not sure if I'm misunderstanding you, but I'm not of the impression that pronouns are much of an "elitist" (however you want to define that) thing
