That was a really great read. Thank you.

You use it to refer to things you can normally dominate that temporarily inconvenience you; that’s not the defense you want it to be. Even if that connection doesn’t exist in your own mind (and I believe you that it doesn’t) it normalizes that usage and contributed to systemic misogyny.

Additionally, I shouldn’t have to point out that a group using a slur that normally targets them isn’t evidence it’s not a slur; I bet you wouldn’t use the n-word even though the same metric applies.

It doesn’t have to be used exclusively towards women, as long as the usage is still “you are behaving like a woman and being a woman is bad so you are bad”. That’s what makes it a slur, it denigrates both the target and and the entire group to which the target is being compared.

Two things:

A) “bitch” is indeed a slur, a misogynistic one, and if one is going to filter slurs it belongs in that filter list

and 2] change instances, that’s a .ml feature not a lemmy-general feature

My problem is I forget how many I’ve already eaten and end up with four or five.

No, because I’m broke.

There are memes I’ve been wanting –but unready!– to post for literal years.

Systems like this work great for me right up until I forget to use them.

Easier to do something for someone else than for myself.

I don’t want to wear the same thing as last year, and I don’t want to half-ass it because it’s my favorite holiday, so I start planning it in July, and the plans get more and more elaborate, until finally it’s October 29th, I’m scheduled doubles the next two days, my perfect costume is elaborately planned… but I haven’t actually started on making it yet.

I wouldn’t say dualism, since dualism typically precludes more than two possibilities.

I’m going to leave theology alone at this time, but feel free to opine and I might chime in later!

I can see I wasn’t clear. I don’t mean mathematics is a way to interact with physical reality in a non-subjective way. I mean mathematics is unto itself an objective reality, independent of physical reality, which we can access nonsubjectively.

Yes, that’s what I mean. And the basis is in the math itself: We can make observations about mathematics, just like physical reality; but we can also interact with mathematics directly, and they’re the same every time for everyone all the time, not relying on subjective observation.

If all we ever have is access through observation, what would it even mean for a reality to exist completely independent of any subject?

But that’s not all we have. We also have higher mathematics.

My wife just doesn’t wear her glasses, the subtitles get too blurry to be distracting.

You and me both, cousin.
