I was going to say it's definitely a case by case basis and what both parents and kids are comfortable with. With same-gender couples, I've often seen with my friends using two different gendered honorifics, like "mom" and "mama" or "dad" and "papa".

With trans people, often times it depends on when they came out. If before the child was born, or they were really young, I know a lot of parents will switch what they use, but for many people the title becomes something beyond gender. I've met a trans woman who transitioned later in life and was still "dad" to her kids because her role as a dad didn't invalidate her gender as a woman. In the same vein, I've known nonbinary folk who have kept "mom" or "dad" after coming out, went with a less traditional title, or even just made one up either something fun and ungendered (think something like "babi"). I've also heard people just using a diminutive of they're name, like rather than the kid saying "my parent, Sam" it becomes "my Sammy".

The fun thing about language is that it changes to fit the needs of people and groups, so we can just make it up as we go!

Yeah, it'll give me one of these screens with most mullvad servers. I don't really interact on reddit anymore so I refuse to log in even with a throwaway (on my phone at least). Maybe there's something to it, maybe it's my own silly little battle against rude web design 😅

Need some R&R, so I'm using my PTO to take a grippy sock vacation 😌

I just got Mullvad again and the main site I get flagged on is reddit. Which I wouldn't care but the state of search is so abysmal that I still regularly have to query reddit to find what I'm actually looking for (for some types of info anyway). It's fine though, there's some mullvad servers that haven't been flagged yet so I just server hop as needed. Less convenient, but not terrible

Hold onto it, farthings are already gone, so once they get rid of pennies you'll have to "upgrade" to a Dime Nickel :P

Why isn't anyone just whelmed?

Considering the amount I have to say the term whenever ranting or debating, something that can be shortened is welcomed. I like the idea of calling "automated plagiarism," since it can be shortened to "autoplag" which is also ugly sounding.

It used to fix WiFi issues for me back on Windows Vista (bleh). Vista would always have issues when I woke my laptop from sleep mode, and my WiFi would be disconnected and unable to reconnect/properly turn off. Running the troubleshooter would restart my wireless card. Other than that I haven't encountered anything it's helped, but I don't use windows too often these days.

 

(note: this is in the US, idk if it's normal in other countries) I understand that some cities don't have a station, in which case it makes sense, but I'm visiting family in a small city (college town) that just updated the train/bus station a few years ago, but the only bus from my major city drops me off on a random side street northwest 3 miles away from the station with no bus service/businesses around.

Why do they do this? The town has a bus station! It's a major stop on the route! It's super inconvenient and doesn't make sense to me.

 

Scary times. I just want to live in peace.
