You can make a distinction between gender when it comes to the phrases. To my male friends, yeah. Depending on the situation I can see myself saying both of those phrases. But to my female friends? They don’t mean the same thing.

“Calm your tits” is a maybe depending on the circumstances and how close we are, but never in an aggressive tone.

“Stop being such a bitch”, downright out. Never to those friends. So many better ways to phrase it depending on the circumstances.

And finally, all of these were to my friends, NOT A FUCKING COWORKER. You never say these things to coworkers. The whole goal of team management is promoting teamwork, these phrase foster nothing but animosity. I try to say anything even remotely close to those phrases and my ass will be out of a job before lunch (and for good reason).

In terms of legal, IANAL, but as far as I know you would have to present this to a jury or judge, and the bar that they’d have to pass in the US is “more likely than not”. In other words: “is it more likely than not that this comment was made to harass the individual based on their sex?” Pretty low bar to cross.

Also, LTT is a Canadian company, so the above paragraph is kinda moot to the whole situation.

TL;DR: those phrases are rude to women, LTT would likely have a rough time in court (if they were a US company)

I’ve loved pretty much any video by XboxAhoy, they put out some amazing videos from a research/presentation/editing perspective. Also that voice…

When Forbes reached out to Twitter and Musk via email, the Twitter press email automatically responded with a poop emoji. Elegant as always.

10/10 approach, im sure this will help you keep the media on your side lmao

I was already on the fence about if I’d like this show for the animation style, but this story is kinda rough. MC is creepy, and his thoughts are kinda repetitive imo. Im still not 100% on how I feel about it.

Still gonna watch it to the end tho, im in too deep. Sunken cost and all that jazz. Hope it gets better

Wild, I figured they’d give Nyck til the end of the season.

Also, Danny Ricc getting put in the junior car is kinda depressing. Although I get it, not really any spot up at the top rn. Checo seems to be doing just barely good enough…

Decent episode, I’m still not sure how to feel about this show. It’s got decent humor, but it’s not pushing the bounds. It’s got a few serious-ish moments, but nothing too deep. Feels a bit like Otaku Elf just from the pacing. I don’t know, maybe I’m wildly off and it just goes up.

Anyways, what the hell’s up with that chick in the closet? Did I miss a memo? Did I get a cursed copy of the show? Mom, come pick me up. I’m scared.

Unbelievable, how could you not like the maid that went “be my master” in less than 2 minutes? /s

I get the feeling that we’re gonna have to wait a few episodes to really make a final judgement call on her character. Just can’t say whether she’s a victim of “just get the show moving” or “she’s hopeless”

Yeah, looks like you’ve put a bit more thought into the deployment that I did. I was going to run it as a scheduled task on my personal computer (I’m cheap) and was only going to move it to a cloud env if it became clear that was going to cause issues.

As for the Git repo, I took a different philosophy. Since Reddit and Lemmy are two separate entities and the dev team for the original repo showed little interest in porting it I figured I would just fork it and leave it as a new repo specific to Lemmy. I didn’t want to really go through the effort of supporting both sites.

I think we can go with your setup, it solves my main concern of supporting both sites since we can both work on it. I’ll PM you some of the minor things I changed to better support Lemmy. I haven’t heard back from the mods since yesterday, so no threads just yet!
