18-year-old nonbinary high school senior
I've often used they/them to refer to an individual if the gender is unknown. They/them/their feels cleaner then endlessly writing "he or she" etc so even with the increasing silliness these days it's workable even without trying to take inclusiveness to the nth degree. I remember one of the...- tango

18-year-old nonbinary high school senior
Not really, we might argue over the use of he/she/they for people whose gender expression isn't what we might expect but when would someone refer to themselves with words other than I/me etc? Unless someone is referring to themselves in the third person, which in this particular context would...- tango

18-year-old nonbinary high school senior
What term would you expect someone to use to describe themselves? When talking about someone else we would use he/she/they but when talking about ourselves we use I/me. There is no gender in "I" and "me".- tango

Trump vs Biden
I'm not sure that "it's difficult to tell one from another" is a good justification for "let anyone and everyone in without limit". -

The downside of keeping pets
It makes going away more difficult. You need to either pay extra to board them somewhere or find someone to come in and look after them. Of course it depends on the pet. If you have a dog/cat/rabbit etc it needs daily attention. If you have something like a Burmese python you can feed it before... -
Lämmchen's Workout Thread
Yesterday the forecast for today was more or less rain all day. Today it's looking like we might get a break from the rain in the afternoon. Interestingly my suggested workout for today is over an hour for the first time since I've been doing them. In the past I've occasionally done the...- tango

Tablet people; what tablets do you have?
I prefer a tablet for reading because you can get so much more text on the screen at once. For web browsing you can see a decent site without having to scroll both ways. I wouldn't want to try and carry one around the way I carry a phone but if I'm going somewhere in the car it's easy enough to...- tango

Lämmchen's Workout Thread
Hideous weather today. My tracker says I chalked up 12000 steps today. I'm not sure how since I barely left the house but maybe I racked up more than I thought working on my wall. Or maybe using a hammer drill registered as a load of steps.- tango

Your neighbors
We really like them. On one side we have a family who are really nice. We like their extended family too - several of them live locally. On the other side we have a single guy who rents some of his spare space. We don't really know his tenants but they seem like decent people. We often chat...- tango

Trump vs Biden
Two polarising figures, not non-polarising figures. With an s or a z, depending.... I wonder how many conceded the nomination to Trump because of fear of the vocal attacks. Sometimes it seems like the flip-side of worrying about what the woke mob will think of something. Biden hiding in his... -
Trump vs Biden
It's a shame that there apparently aren't enough obvious alternatives to two highly polarising figures, no? Sure, despite my reservations about Trump I can put up with a few mean tweets if it means $2 gas again and less unchecked immigration, just for starters. -
Trump vs Biden
Can I not dislike two candidates without specifically proposing another? Honestly, if Trump and Biden are the best that a country of 300+ million people has to offer then I think the problem is bigger than any of my suggestions for the presidency. -

Trump vs Biden
... which highlights the issue of everything being so polarised. Putting a different polarising figure in the White House isn't going to fix that. Yes, there's a clear double standard where Trump and Biden are concerned. I'm sure that can be addressed without specifically putting one of the... -

Lämmchen's Workout Thread
Today I ran five miles, then walked another three with my wife. The run was a relatively gentle one, trying to keep my pace down to a 10-minute mile. Not always successfully, but I kept my pulse down which was good.- tango

Trump vs Biden
I think both candidates are too polarising. Trump may be the most popular candidate among Republicans but I don't imagine he has a lot of appeal to the more moderate wing of the party and even less appeal to the floaters and moderate Democrats who might jump ship. Biden is, well, Biden. The... -

Do you get a lot of ticks in your area? The trails I hike are wooded and often have a lot of undergrowth but I very seldom see ticks. I've never seen a single tick on the trail I hike the most, and I've hiked it a lot of times. I know there are ticks elsewhere in the woods - years ago there was...- tango

Lämmchen's Workout Thread
Sprint repeats today. The suggested workout isn't really demanding enough in many ways - the sprint intervals are faster than is comfortable but sufficiently short that they don't really get my heart rate high, unless they coincide with the hills around the route. Then they give enough time to...- tango
