I remember having a conversation with my conservative boss. He said something stupid about not understanding pronouns and the look on his face when I told him it didn’t matter because the pronouns aren’t for him. If he can’t take a few minutes to understand why someone uses a specific pronoun, it’s better that he just excuses himself from it. He just couldn’t understand why I would exclude him in that way. Like fuck you dude, you bring it up, get upset when you can’t understand and then think it’s all about you. Fuck off.
Would be better if you just started calling him she, they or it. You would probably be fired, but he would get the message. mostly wouldn’t you never know with them people
They’d be fired, and he wouldn’t have got the message. I’m 100% confident on this one
The boss doesn’t need to get the message. How it works isn’t complicated and I don’t believe that anyone just can’t understand it. That’s not the issue and never has been.
They just hate trans people.
Bingo. The message isn’t for the boss. It’s for my coworkers who might be hiding their identity because of that boss to know they have someone in their corner.
This is pretty much my stance.
A whole lot of what the right gets uppity about is none of falls strictly in the ‘none of their fucking business’ category
A common dog whistle for the right is individual rights and freedoms… Yet they get hung up on things like trans rights which are checks notes individual rights and freedoms
Yeah, but you forget about their individual right and freedom not to feel offended.
I want to see Linus and Stallman fight
Who does that help?
Edit: Yes, I see.
Edit 2: Ah jeez.
Stallman being punched help anyone
I’m out of the loop. I know he’s seen as cantankerous but did he say or do something actually bad?
huh… i have no idea who that other person is but linus being this based is nice
I knew there was a reason besides Linux that made me love Linus.
What a fuckin legend
DAMN
I need to be able to upvote more than once!
Bea-fucking-utifully said.
I already had a huge respect for him for being really pragmatic, but after this post my respect for him climbed a level above I thought wasn’t even possible.
And that’s without considering the guy basically made software that runs >99% of modern internet.
If you’re wondering how to follow him: https://social.kernel.org/torvalds
Best Linus.
In another life, I delivered a package to Linus and he answered the door in a bathrobe at 1:30 in the afternoon, just got out of the shower. Nice guy.
Isn’t this the “woke communist” that runs his company in a shitty way? Overworks employees and stuff? I’m not familiar with the drama is just weird not seeing anything about that in the comments
Different Linus. This Linus made Linux, he’s not the one who does tech tips.
Oh cool, I think I’ve always just assumed Torvalds was LTT’s last name bc I didn’t know they were different people lol
