Weird News - Things that make you go 'hmmm'

This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.

Of course. How else will we prevent future aviation disasters?

For the life of me, I can't understand why they care about someone's sexual orientation or their pronoun.

I ran the numbers on sex changes and it's like .001 of the population. It's a non-issue.

The real issues are homelessness, inequality, Internet privacy, poisons in our food and workers' rights..

Not fucking pronouns.

I’ve never done this, but this would make me start doing it

Finally. Something that will bring down the cost of groceries...

Does that include Mr. Mrs. and other gendered titles?

Doesn't go far enough, remove pronouns from the email body too.

To it may concern. Notice did not complete task before deadline. Please can provide update? Look forward to reply.

And yet again, the Tangerine Palpatine is focusing on stupid shit.

Farmers unable to gather their harvest? The working and middle classes being squeezed into oblivion? Grocery prices skyrocketing? Unknown drones taunting our military bases? Military helicopters colliding with commercial jets?

Nah, none of that stuff matters! Instead we just focus on fucking pronouns in emails!

What an absolute fucking joke.

Edit: fixed a typo.

What about the people who often have DDoD, OCIS, NCIS, CCNA, CCNP, A+, Ph.D, MA, MBA, BA, BS, K12, SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS after their names? Can we get rid of title abuse then never focus on pronouns?

Jesus fucking christ.

Sorry to all the Blakes, Dylans, Ashleys, Francises, Shannons, Frankies, Charlies, Rorys, Blairs, Leslies, Angels, Billies, Sams, Kellys, Danas, Harleys, Adins, Caseys, and all the other non-binary/gender neutral names that I can't think of right now.

-signed a person with a non-binary name

MAGA voters couldn't identify a pronoun in high school. How are they supposed to figure it out now?

Does that mean no-one can call him 'President' Trump or 'Mr' President any more?

I always thought "uh, this thing with the pronouns in email signatures is just woke Nonsens, everyone knows what gender I am and want to be seen as" (and i still don't really get neo-pronouns, to be frank), but I now work in a very international environment, and I am so glad if people give me their pronouns, because I can't always tell which gender an Indian or Chinese name is. Honestly, it's just smart to add them and they just save everyone a lot of time/confusion.

The communist leader of northern Venezuela is mandating how to conduct your business, how to write, how to speak.

Party of small government, rule of law and free markets.

Legal disclaimers often have pronouns, right?

Malicious compliance it and replace all of the pronouns: "The information contained in this email message is intended only for the personal use of the recipient(s) named above. If the recipient is not an intended recipient of this email, the recipient is hereby notified that any review, dissemination or copying of this email is strictly prohibited.

Fuck 'em. I'm sure with a bit of work they could come up with some stuff that renders it nearly unreadable.

Sucks for anyone named Jamie or Alex. Trump is acting like he won in a landslide, even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.

All fascists need to take dirt naps
