13409374, he/they or she/they as pronouns, what does that mean?
Posted by luminous, Wed Oct-21-20 08:51 PM
i'm sure there is an answer, but i don't want to make a separate post.

anyway, for work we have to put pronouns after our names for zoom meetings and I noticed people putting she/they or he/they (as opposed to he/him, she/her, or they/their)

i asked around, but not the people that posted it, what it meant and they said maybe their gender was fuild and would respond to both she and they.
13409375, this is not an answer - only a comment. I too hope someone has an answer.

Anyway, I got an email from the help desk of one of our vendors where the signature was "{vendor name} Help Desk," the help desk email address, the help desk 800 number and then "she/her/hers."

So ... the help desk has pronouns ...?

My assumption is the that the person answering my question has pronouns, not the help desk, but the person never signed a name - just "help desk," so why were the pronouns in there anyway?

It hasn't come up for signatures yet (thought I am sure it will), but I am a DBA and the database changes that go along with this, gender fields and prefixes are a headache. We have all these scripts set up that recently start failing on me because of gender. Character limit used to be 1 or 2. Now I gotta edit the script to 10 or something much larger. Also, mailings from development should say Mr. or Mrs. etc... we have scripts that auto determine that from the gender... those have to be edited.

Posted by infin8, Thu Oct-22-20 10:12 AM
might identify as male at work, but get home and have a 'girl' name and dress as a woman for their partner? They are both the same person though, clearly.

I'm just throwing that out there. I don't know.

I 'am' a cis-hetero-black male to some people...to me I'm just me. I try to understand and make room so I hope my theory isn't offensive.
13409453, For everyone: the original question is *not* what "they" means.
Posted by Brew, Thu Oct-22-20 10:49 AM
The question is specifically about people luminous saw identify as "she/they" or "he/they" (seemingly two entirely different pronouns) as opposed to "he/him" "she/her" and "they/their."

"They" is a gender identity I think anyone who's been paying attention is at least minimally familiar with.

But I have also never seen anyone put "he/they" or "she/they."
13409462, exactly
Posted by luminous, Thu Oct-22-20 11:00 AM
my question is why is the person using 2 different pronouns. Does the person identify with both she and they?

13409467, Oh, THAT means that person identifies with the bandwagon

Posted by luminous, Thu Oct-22-20 12:00 PM
https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/She/They_Lesbian

She/They lesbians are lesbians that use she/her pronouns and they/them pronouns. They may consider themselves as a woman. They may also identify as non-binary but do not have to. Typically, they use she/they pronouns due to their gender expression as a form of gender non-conformity/pronoun non-conformity. Every she/they lesbian has a different reason as to why they might use she/they pronouns. They may also use other pronouns in addition to she and they. Not all she/they lesbians are androgynous looking and may have a femme or butch style.

The way I would look at it (personally, no shot at you) if I worked somewhere that required it, is that it takes no time at all and doesn't have any adverse impact on my life or day to day. So that being the case, if it's something that would make some of my co-workers, clients, colleagues @ other companies I communicate, etc. feel more comfortable and included I'd have no problem doing it. No harm no foul.

Posted by Hitokiri, Mon Nov-02-20 09:24 AM
People who use "mixed" pronouns like that (She/They or He/They) are often people who grew up being called she or he and don't object to it, are used to it, but it's not entirely inline with the way they see themselves. Or they're in transition. They would like to at some point go by "they" but they're not there yet in their life for whatever reason. Sometimes it's easing friends and family into it, sometimes it's folks grappling with their identity.

This is what I've seen from the folks I know who use mixed pronouns.
13415348, there are people who get killed
Posted by eclipsedInI, Thu Dec-03-20 03:55 PM
people i've known

because their pronouns don't match what cis-gendered (mostly black) people accept.

so requiring someone to announce their pro noun is a simple thing

you won't catch bullets or a beating for it like a trans person does

13409460, Anyone old enough to see both knows damn well
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Oct-22-20 11:00 AM
Bron has played against better competition and played a whole season more of playoff games in his career.

Dude has been going to finals like it’s his birth right and half of those squads were suspect.
13409465, I saw both, but there's so many variables
Posted by GOMEZ, Thu Oct-22-20 11:03 AM
each dude owned his era. The rules of basketball are totally different now. People's criteria for GOAT also vary widely. I can't really get mad if someone falls on either side of that debate.

13409472, Yea I can't call it either.
Posted by Brew, Thu Oct-22-20 11:21 AM
The Cavs championship solidified for me that you can't be wrong either way. Bron won that shit all by himself, almost literally. Against a damn dynastic wagon of a team.

I still say MJ's better but I won't really even argue against the Bron side anymore, cuz there's not a lot of space between them either way, if any at all.
13409504, Everyone my age keeps saying Bron is 4-6 in the Finals
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Oct-22-20 12:41 PM
and how Jordan never lost.

but Jordan’s teams struggled like hell before Pippen. Didn’t even make it out of the first round a few times.

I think it’s still impressive to take some of those teams to the Finals that weren’t that good overall.

Do we really knock Brady down for losing a few SB’s??? He’s still considered GOAT status even tho I hate him.

I know there is no right answer but some of the reasons used against Bron aren’t fair. Dude has been a monster for 17 years and he isn’t done yet.
13409523, Bron been a legit MVP candidate for 14 or 15 of those years too.
Posted by GOMEZ, Thu Oct-22-20 02:29 PM
He also started out in one era of hoops and transitioned to a whole new era, and is better than ever.

13409526, Yea that's exactly right. And I'm a Pats fan lol so I'd be pretty ...
Posted by Brew, Thu Oct-22-20 02:51 PM
... hypocritical to judge Bron that way while taking the opposite position on Brady.

With Brady I used to put him and Montana at about even until Brady won his 4th, despite being a TB fan. I thought Montana's pristine performance in SBs was an edge for him, while Brady's undefeated reg season and other statistical advantages was an edge for *him*.

Similar story with Jordan and Bron - I thought Bron was the better overall player for a long time, just a physical freak who had better *skills* than Jordan in certain areas. But Jordan had the 6 rings to Bron's 2 at the time, as well as the undefeated Finals record and 6 Finals MVPs. So before Bron won that chip in Cleveland I'd argue vehemently on Jordan's behalf and would use the 6-0 Finals record as a primary staple of my argument.

But again after Bron carried that sorry ass Cavs team to a title, I stopped caping so hard for Jordan in these types of arguments lol.

And at this point with Brady, I'm probably biased, but I think Brady having 6 rings, as well as the multiple additional SB appearances you mentioned (on top of the stats) gives him such a clear edge over Montana at this point that it's not even really close.

13409561, We have to stop the narrative that Bron carried trash
Posted by Innocent Criminal, Thu Oct-22-20 05:05 PM
That 2007 Cavs team was 5th in defensive rating that year and I think #1 during the playoffs. That team also won 10 out of 16 games without Lebron being the leading scorer.

Every other finals appearance he played with at least one other top 5 draft pick. Two of those teams Cavs redux and Heat he played with two on each team.

You can big Bron up for many reasons to make a case for him being GOAT, dragging trash to the finals isn’t one of them.
13409568, The 2007 team had like 2 or 3 combined career all-star appearances

Posted by Cocobrotha2, Fri Oct-23-20 12:12 AM
Sort of like the Holy Trinity.. God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. One God in 3 divine persons.

Jordan and Bron represent basketball greatness in such distinct but undeniable ways that I don't see the point in debating who's better. They're both the best in their own way.
13409671, Kareem in the trinity then
Posted by GOMEZ, Fri Oct-23-20 10:44 AM
I re-checked his resume the other day, just thinking about people on that Mt. Rushmore. I'm not mad if people put MJ and Bron above him, but I think maybe the only reason I don't automatically put Kareem right at that same level in my mind is because I never watched him until the last few years of his career. Collge and Pro he's got the stats, the accomplishments, the longevity - he's got it all. But again, different eras, different rules, different criteria.
13430321, Jordan

Everything from Skype to Google Meet require that you create an account even to use. Zoom, you get a link and you are in.

Apple beat them to app store. Music Player.

Dropbox.

Windows had boxes in everyone's home that should have beaten Alexa and Google Home to the voice control game.

The list goes on.

My niece was born in July.

One thing we are all worried about is how this will affect her social development. Only people she sees without masks are her parents (my sister and BIL)

I still wear a mask when I go to my sister house to see her. So does everyone else.
13412846, How come Oprah can just ask for people's number and get it?
Posted by SuiteLady, Sat Nov-07-20 08:54 PM
Obviously the answer is because she is Oprah, but... I have watched two documentaries where she admitted to just asking for people's number and folks giving it to her. If I am not mistaken, I think she said she called the fire department in the town Toni Morrison lived in and they gave her Toni Morrison's number. WTH!? Then in another doc she spoke about asking everybody for Stacey Abrams phone number...

... on another note, this is an argument for answering numbers you don't know - it might be Oprah!

My boss was talking disapprovingly about some of the women at my job who recently got married and didn't change their last name to the new husbands (professionally at least). I was like "changing your name when you get married late in life is a HEADACHE." Then I saw the Ellen Page/Elliot Page thing and I was thinking... that must be a headache too, huh?

... I think there's gotta be *some* level of leeway you have to be willing to give people in instances like this, where the intention is clarity and not offensiveness.

Your description nailed it - that person appears to be trying to make sure nobody's confused about who they're speaking with/about, not trying to be condescending or embarrass anyone.

My lifelong friend "Mollie" is now a trans male "Lee". I support him a trillion percent and he knows that. But sometimes I slip up and say "she" when in conversation. He has, many times, made it clear that he is not offended and understands why it'd be difficult for me and others who've known him for literally 30+ years at this point to suddenly start referring to him as the opposite sex we used to know him as for 25ish years.

Partially cuz I am always *uber* mindful of cars when I'm walking thru a parking lot (it's far easier for me to see them than them me, after all) and always give the car the right of way; and also partially because you said people "speed up" to walk behind a reversing vehicle, which just seems ridiculous to me haha.

The ‘nothing is good enough ever’ crowd helped kill BET long ago methinks. That and it WAS a limited channel. And if we’re being honest, if we understand for real how people work, one channel should never be enough to cover all of the bases for any race.

So I like the concept of there being a suite of black channels. I don’t like the concept that most of those channels seem to be very limited in what gets offered. Ie: VH1 being the ‘go here for manufactured drama from folks you kinda sorta know’ channel. The ‘if you loved Flava of Love, here’s 10 more shows kinda like it’ channel. Any channel that can make Cardi B famous as hell ain’t gonna be my shit.

What is the wanna be woke/upstanding black folks channel? Does it exist?

A suite of channels could work, as long as they're all clearly labeled BET in some way.

Have a comedy channel for the Martin/UPN show reruns and bring ComicView back for late-night or prime time. Give the 85 South type content creators some shine.

Have a movie channel for Baby Boy and throw in some new or experimental Black filmmakers.

Have a lifestyle channel for the reality shit and cooking and HGTV type shit.

And then throw it all on an app for the cable-cutters.

Just do SOMETHING.

We are at the point in our decline where too many folks view the concept of ‘power’ as the ability to deny things instead of the ability to give/help. So folks like Mitch are gonna keep on doing their thing. And the losers who love him and the like will keep on riding for them. Because they think ‘power’ is a villainous concept too.

And, for some reason, they’re super bothered by knowing a bunch of folks would buy PlayStations, Xboxes and big ass tvs with the money and still be broke/up against it even with 2k. But it doesn’t bother them that wealthy folks do the same shit at a different level with their tax cuts and bailouts. You know, keep/buy/spend money on big ass houses, paying off mistresses to be quiet for a while, boats/yachts, offshore accounts to evade hella US taxes, all of that.

What does a person like that do if they get sick with COVID?

What if they need an ambulance while out on the road?

For that matter, what if a truck driver has any other medical emergency like a heart attack while sleeping in their truck? While driving, of course they would wreck and that would be the way others would know they had a medical emergency, but what happens when they are just at a truck stop?

When is covid 19 gonna be over in Murrica? Over means a bunch of folks are vaccinated, the magic numbers that folks look at ‘look good’ over several months, and reasonably cautious folks can mostly be like ‘fuck it, let’s go’ for things that grown folks had been doing without a thought before March 2020. Gatherings. Traveling. Eating in public. Gym. Not scurred to go work in a office with known Trump folks and others who never really stopped doing the previously mentioned shit. All of that. When do we get there?

Fall 2022? Not even then? Sooner?

13430319, I will never understand why my mom and her siblings act like a sibling
Posted by SuiteLady, Sat Apr-17-21 05:11 PM
relationships trumps a parent child relationship. Very often one of them will say "she was my sister before she was yo mama" or "he was my brother before he was your daddy." That makes no earthly sense to me!

My mom lost two sisters last year. The grown children of one of those sisters are having a hard time right now and my mom just said a variant of the above to me: "they seem to forget I knew her longer than they did."

My response was "Yeah but that was their MOTHER -" and she cut me off to say "AND I WAS HER SISTER!"

I don't have siblings - I mean technically I have some half's but we have no relationship beyond knowing of the existence of one another. And names, we know each others names. I don't think that my lack of a sibling relationship is what make this thing with my mom 'nem seem weird.

It is weird right?

as soon as I switched my car, I got a letter from the DMV saying the old insurance company notified them that my insurance was cancelled, and I need to provide proof that I have another insurance, or my license will be suspended and I will have to pay a fine for each day that I am without insurance or I must surrender my plates.

New Hampshire and Virginia do not require you to have auto insurance.

There were several more states that didn't, as recently as a decade ago. But they smartened up apparently.

their car with them, but they are not "legally" allowed to look at anything other than the proof of insurance. That doesn't mean they won't, but they are not legally allowed to look.

As I said before, every time I can remember being pulling over the cop takes my licence, insurance, and registration (if requested) and walks back to their car. That is why I have never been keen on digital insurance cards. I don't want them taking my phone from my possession for any reason.

... I think you can put the card in your Apple Wallet somehow, so that even if they take it from you they won't have access to anything beyond that picture unless they like guess your password or something.

Still not ideal, but just good to know in case you have no other option in the moment.

Posted by SuiteLady, Fri Jul-09-21 05:28 PM
When I lived in KC there was a strip mall on Metcalf: Hooters and Chuck E. Cheese were neighbors (maybe there was one store between them... maybe). I spent the week in Fort Worth, TX. Across from my hotel: Hooters on one side and Chuck E. Cheese directly across from it. So then I googled it and found a reddit post where someone was joking about this in also being the case in Philly.

Posted by SuiteLady, Sat Aug-07-21 08:41 AM
I ask because it is the only lab test I have ever taken where I am not the person who gets the results, and that seems weird.

I am about to take one soon and it made me think about the last one I took where I straight up asked the person what the results were. She twisted her neck up and me and her eyes got all big. I can't even remember what she said but I know it was snarky. The point of me asking wasn't because I was concerned that I might fail. I know I was negative, but they tested MY urine. It came out my body. I wanted to hear the test results.

I just googled it, and google says it is common for the lab to contact the employer with results if you are negative and the patient if positive. Why not both patient and employer if negative? In some states, when anyone runs a background check on you you get notified. Why not get information about the results of a urine tests?
