Unrelated, but I'm curious about how they got that picture of those two. Did he already have the picture ready and just gave it to the writer? Or did they meet up for a photoshoot? If it's the latter, I'd sure as fuck wouldn't agree to being taken out to an empty field "for a picture" given the charges.

That's why student loans are never gonna be forgiven - it's their method of trapping people in the country. There's no doubt that brain drain would be drastically higher if college grads could afford to leave

Well we can both type out narcissist, but not the r word and that says enough on its own. I don't think people are referring to NPD or even psychiatry in general when they say narcissist though I see what you mean. I dunno what word could replace it though... braggart? Egoist? Uh... Selfist?

This threw me for a loop because I thought the quote was going to be from like a century ago haha

But no one's pretending to speak Greek or any other language. The word has a common non-technical definition in English and that's what people usually mean when using it.

I don't get what you're saying, does the origin of a word determine how it should be used or not? Because originally, negro was the accepted term used for black people (in English ofc) before it became a slur. A more relevant example would be the word "moron" - even though it was originally a formal diagnosis, nobody who uses the word nowadays is thinking about psychology.

I agree, there's a lot of people out there that sincerely use dude and guy neutrally. It doesn't come off very well in text but it's cool in person, the vibes are chill. Though I completely understand why a lot of people don't like it.

And this is a tangent, but my understanding of the word "man" is that it originally meant "person" while the words for adult male and adult female were "were" and "wif" respectively. Then "man" started being used in place of "were", which fell out of use. And for some reason "wif" became "wifman" and eventually "woman".

This boat has long since sailed but I think it's interesting that "man" used to be a gender neutralish word (boys were still the implied default I think).

But I've heard (non-chud) people say "dude" to refer to the person they're talking to in a gender neutral way. As an interjection, mostly.

I don't have any clips to share but I'm positive that Anne from Amphibia calls all her friends "dude"

you have emojis i can't use >:(

It's about hate crimes though idk what the precise legal definition of that term is in Brazilian law

First they came for the racists and I didn't speak up because I'm not racist. Then they came for the homophobes and I didn't speak up because I'm not homophobic. Then they came for the redditors but there was no one left to post for me.
