Show me in the screenshot where the doctor referring to a woman as a female in a medical context is.

OH wait, you can't, it's not there. We literally are not talking about that.

Is this the incel brigades talking point? That it's racist to think that using "female" is creepy and dehumanizing?

I have never once heard a non-native speaker make this mistake. Having learned two other languages myself, I find it extremely hard to believe it's a mistake someone would have learned to make, even if they learned to speak English online. Teaching the words "man" and "woman" is literally one of the first lessons in ANY language class. That's true for English classes as well.

I never learned the equivalent of male and female in either of the language classes I have taken. So unless there's a language that has words ONLY for "male" and "female" and no equivalents for "man" and "woman" this talking point is stupid.

Why are you"asking questions" to make the use of "female" seem more acceptable?

It's a terrible idea and it tells me that all the propaganda were getting about Ukraine clearly winning and barely losing anyone is bullshit. They must be real desperate if they're conscription people with mental disorders.

Neolibs use "whataboutism" to avoid responding to comments that actually make them consider whether their beliefs are silly or not. Instead of actually considering the argument they slit out a buzzword and promptly ignore whatever was said.

No see it's NOT a threat when the US surrounds China with literally dozens of military installations placed as close to their border as possible and actively practices military drills on their borders with their puppet states because the US is "good" and China is "bad" and our understanding of geopolitics shouldn't go any further than that because China scary bad

Tell me you're a lib who doesn't know what imperialism is without saying it directly holy fucking shit

Why are there so many brain dead takes in this thread? Who the fuck can possibly believe that imperialism can't be imperialism if it's "invited"?

It's amazing anyone can believe they are well informed and unironically say this bullshit

He very specifically does not beat Demandred. He does, in fact, lose. He wasn't there to win though. He kills Demandred but was fully expecting not to survive the fight. Also, Demandred was interested in having a fair fight, and Lan had on a Medallion stopping him from cheating with the power. Against 2 fades at night he has NONE of those things, and the fades are free to teleport around him at will.

Mat fought the gholam to a standstill because he had the ONLY weapon on the planet that could harm it. If he hadn't had that, he would have been absolutely shredded. But because of the Medallion, the gholam was holding back because it was afraid Mat could maim or kill it, which was something it had never faced before.

The fade nailed to a barn door because he had crazy mind control powers, he didn't have to fight it. Fades will do what they're told when ordered by someone they fear enough, even go into certain death.

I think book Lan would absolutely lose to 2 fades in the dark who are working together. Fades get to teleport from shadow to shadow. It's seriously underutilized in the books, but it's established early on.

Remember that the borderlands all have laws that require towns be lit well at night, in large part to prevent fades from doing their twleporting and doing sabotage. But also so that if they get attacked at night the fades are less threatening.

No, but I can't remember whether the OS installation includes options for setting up a wifi connection. Safest bet is to use ethernet.

It's not all that hard.

Youll need a pihole and a micro SD card for it. On that micro SD you're going to install the operating system. There is a guide for how to do this on the raspberry pi website. As part of that installation, you can tell the installer to also install an SSH server. That will allow you to connect remotely. You can also have the installer create a user account for you. Do that.

Once you've done that you'll put the SD card into the pihole and plug in the pihole. It should boot from the SD card. Plug the pihole into your router via ether net, this is very important. It guarantees it will get an IP address.

Check your router for the pihole. You should see it. Grab it's ip address, and use whatever SSH client you like. On windows I like mRemoteNG. SSH into your pis IP address using the username and password you made earlier, when you installed the OS. Then, Google pihole. Follow the install directions on the pihole. Once it's set up, set your router to use it for DNS.

That's all!
