I actually wasn’t but that’s a different story

If they say “the goose doesn’t like his ball” that is misgandering.

I’ve had people flip out at me on Lemmy for ‘misgendering’ it’s so ridiculous.

Like we don’t know if it’s a man or woman. It’s the internet, yknow?

do you need an explanation beyond “some people online will believe anything”

trusted by whom?

What your Trump-supporting journalist says –

Behind the scenes is China’s reluctance to forgive debt…

In the past under such circumstances, big government lenders such as the U.S., Japan and France would work out deals to forgive some debt, with each lender disclosing clearly what they were owed and on what terms so no one would feel cheated. But China didn’t play by those rules.

The actual facts –

• China, the largest government creditor to emerging economies, said it will forgive 23 interest-free loans to 17 African countries and redirect $10 billion of its International Monetary Fund reserves to nations on the continent.

• New sovereign debt negotiations and zero-interest loan write-offs involving Chinese creditors totalled $19 billion in 2021, the report said, although that dropped to $9 billion in 2022 and to $1.7 billion in 2023 through April, a total drop of over 90%.

The writing system has its flaws too.

• I and l look the same.
• 0 and O look the same.
• Why are their two totally different cases? Q looks nothing like q and the distinction serves no communicative purpose
• Similarly, why is there printed letters and joined-up letters – two totally different ways of writing?
• Loops are sometimes merely stylistic, but some letters like say b has a loop that is essential to it.
• b and d are mirror-images, and this confuses some children
• “dot your I-s and cross your T-s” – the pen has to be lifted from the page to do this, so people don’t always bother.

Some of these might sound like non-issues to grown-ups, but they’re hard for children.

Imagine letting yourself get emotional about ghe “asshole community” of a “tiling compositor”.

Anything can get to you if that can.

We need some sort of bot that can detect&tag it so the user can set a filter

That’s like saying “these are synthetic boobs how can they be useful to me”

You cut off the recipe, this is useless to me.
