The study you quoted isn't the same thing. It would be more like comparing "people of color" with "coloreds". And to your point about how tall people aren't marginalized, that's kind of my point. "Colored people" is offensive because it's been used derogatorily for so long, not because of the word order. That same wikipedia article points out that there are several marginalized groups that reject people first language. It mentions Deaf and autistic people, but anecdotally I've never seen anyone take offense to "gay people" or "trans people" either. It's just the specific history of the adjective "colored" being applied to people that makes the difference.

That's just how adjectives work in English. Would the equivalent be fine in French since "people" comes before "colored"? I'm pretty sure the actual reason "people of color" is preferred is that it signals that you're trying not to be racist, not because of some inherent property of the word order.
This is honestly ridiculous logic. That's how adjectives work. Calling someone a tall person isn't dehumanizing them.
Some fan discourse I’ve seen on mastodon suggested “oh look there’s the AR wall” like its some kind of bad thing
AR wall is just 21st century matte painting
yeah, I know about Threads, I just haven't seen any of this zuck fanboying that she's talking about
I'm glad I'm apparently not online enough to have any idea what she's pissed off about
I don't think he ever claimed that the writers of DS9 thought Garak was bisexual, just that that was how he played him, and his novel proves that that's not just an idea he recently came up with.
I don't think they're lying, but them blaming him does help Manchin, and Manchin is the only chance Democrats have in West Virginia. For example, Manchin is to blame for concessions in the infrastructure bill, but Trump won West Virginia with 69% of the vote. The alternative to Manchin wouldn't be a liberal who would pass an infrastructure bill with a greater commitment to green energy, it would be a far right senator who wouldn't pass an infrastructure bill at all. Manchin is an net positive at the moment for Biden's agenda, and progressives being so angry at him means he can campaign on not bowing to the far left agenda or whatever. Ideally there would be enough Democratic senators that Manchin wouldn't matter, but anyone saying he should be primaried is honestly just delusional about who can get elected in West Virginia.
I'm pretty sure blaming Manchin must be electoral strategy. He's much more conservative than the average Democrat, but he's still by far the most liberal senator that's ever going to get elected in West Virginia, and the blame lets him campaign in a deep red state about how he owned the libs.
Trump honestly barely got anything done during his presidency, most of his executive orders were struck down. What he did get done (Supreme Court justices and tax cuts) was just what literally any Republican with a majority in Congress would have done. Biden has gotten more actual legislation passed than Trump did, and his attempt to legislate by executive order (student loan forgiveness) was as ineffective as Trump's attempts.
Yeah, I know, and I think it definitely shows in the first scene between Bashir and Garak, but I was just pointing out that even if you thought he was lying about it being his original intention for the character, it's something he put down in writing 23 years ago, so it's definitely not something "new" he came up with to seem progressive.
I don't use MacOS, but it seems like you can disable Gatekeeper with the command line. I doubt a change in its behavior would make a difference if it's disabled in the first place.
