I don't think most people consider dates to be the same as dressing up for work. One can look "nice" without having to look like a white collar drone in a boring workplace.

For example, I have different suits and ties for the workplace (conservative, standard dark colors) versus for things like weddings (brighter, more expressive colors and patterns and fabrics).

But even short of that level of formality, there are fashion choices that can attract attention. If you're in an environment where the dress code is to wear a collar and some buttons, there's a difference between a plain polo (whether cotton or some kind of performance polyester athleisure) or a short sleeve buttoned shirt with some fun prints (whether we're talking about Dan Flashes or a Hawaiian shirt or something more subtle), on top of the decision on whether to wear that shirt tight or loose or baggy.

Or, some people make conscious choices for their athletic wear, when they're going to the gym or for a run or a bike ride, or playing sports like golf or basketball or tennis.

For people who are going on dates, the attire can convey a message, either intentional or not. And people might choose to send completely different messages in the workplace versus on dates versus just out with friends.

It can basically move a blade along an electronically controlled path, so it can cut intricate shapes.

It can also use a pen or marker attachment to draw on paper, so that you can have things that look like handwritten script. So for example, if you want to send out a bunch of wedding invitations and you want to make "hand written" addresses on the envelopes, you can use certain script fonts with your existing address book, or even try to design a custom font from your own writing, and use that as a mass produced "writing" tool. There are a bunch of ways to make drawings and things like that, too.

Like rehearsing a speech in the mirror while getting ready for the day.

living DNA along with better error correction mechanisms so it doesn't mutate

Isn't DNA, like, famous for its mutations?

I agree that it's only good when the skin is crispy enough to hold up to the sauce: maintaining a crisp texture with the surface area to cling to a bunch of sauce. Not every place does it right.

But with boneless stuff, the approximation through breading just isn't the same.

Note that I've also taken bones out of the real wings, and those are about 50 times more delicious than nuggets or tenders. It's not the bones, it's the skin.

Lisa, I would like to buy your rock.

If you want chicken with bones in it, go for something with an actual amount of meat or fun factor to it.

Your whole mistake is assuming that meat is why people eat wings.

No, to paraphrase Dennis Reynolds, there's no denying that the skins are the most fascinating part. Bone in wings have the highest ratio of skin out of any cut, and are therefore the most delicious.

And yes, I sometimes take chicken skin off of thighs and breasts to just fry them as some kind of chicharrones.

By my count that's:

16g carbs (64 calories)
45g fat (405 calories)
56g protein (224 calories)
14g alcohol (100 calories)

That's about 800 calories per day, with enough protein to maintain at least some lean mass while on a significant calorie deficit.

Doesn't seem healthy but I think it would work.

That's literally what the headline is. "Deadnaming" is a term for referring to transgender people by their previous names, rather than their current names.

Maybe a fan of singer songwriter Ciara, with her song 1-2 step.

I personally like the words that sound like other letters: A as in Aye, E as in Eye, S as in See.

Why the focus on white people? What are non-black, non-white people supposed to take away from this?

And if we're just picking up language from others around us, we can acknowledge that pretty much every word, every phrase, every syntactical or grammatical construct we use, we learned by observing others. And we don't always have the ability to specifically attribute sources for where we learned what, so trying to gatekeep who can and can't use particular phrases or words is going to be prone to errors. And ultimately futile.

thinking they are entitled to everything

This is a FOSS-focused community. The core idea here is that publishing and sharing ideas releases it out to the world, where the creator no longer controls who may use it, or how they may use it.

That's why your position on who can or can't use certain types of language seems so foreign. It's directly contradicting some of the core values that this community is organized around.
