[The hats] are all made in China…
Do you have a source for that? From what I’ve been able to find on the official ^[1]^ Trump store, they all stated that they are made in America ^[2]^.

Thank you for clarifying.

When I see things like this, the following quote comes to my mind:
Rationality is not a character trait, it’s a process. If you fool yourself into believing that you’re rational by default, you open yourself up to the most irrational thinking. ^[1]^

The other reply has it right, but I wanted to reply to confirm.
“Pronouns” in this context almost always means “preferred pronouns” especially wrt people who have preferred pronouns that differ from those assigned at birth. […]
I still don’t really follow. Are you arguing that the usage of one’s preferred pronouns doesn’t harm the user? Or are you arguing that the misuse of one’s pronouns causes them no harm?

IIRC, I did try that, but it caused my controller to cease functioning at all. Take that statement with a grain of salt though — I’d need to test again to verify.

I’m currently waiting for them to release a patch for it; my controller is a little fucked. The controller vibration seems to have stopped working. Also it bugs out for me if I disconnect the controller when the game is running and reconnect: some of the buttons stop working.
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 1 month ago:
In B.C.'s defense, imo, most of the land to the North is either too mountainous ^[1][2.1]^, or it has too harsh a climate ^[2.2]^. I think it’s also worth noting that 15.4% of B.C.'s lands are protected ^[]^.

Ten mountain ranges push west from the Canadian Rockies in the east to the Coast Mountains and the Vancouver Island Ranges in the west, and ancient temperate rainforests hug the coast. In between are rolling grasslands, lush valleys, tens of thousands of lakes, glacier-fed rivers, and even semi-arid desert. Mountains cover 75% of the province.

This feels like a hasty generalization. For example, if one is experiencing gender dysphoria, we could assume that misgendering them with their undesired pronouns would cause them psychological distress ^[1]^ — ie harm.

It’s not a phobia […]
For the sake of argument, Merriam-Webster defines the “phobia” suffix as:
intolerance or aversion for ^[1]^
as well as
exaggerated fear of ^[1]^
That being said, one can define a words however they wish — imo, all that matters is that those engaged in a conversation together all use the same definitions. If you would like to reserve the “phobia” suffix to represent only “exaggerated fear of”, what would you propose in its stead to represent “intolerance or aversion for”?

It’s not off-topic when the person in question is involved.
As stated in the title, the topic is concerning the AI bots that are spamming GitHub repos ^[1]^. I personally encountered the bot in nutomic’s repo ^[2]^, so I used it as an example. Given this, your comment feels off-topic.

[…] Who’s that […]?
I presume they are referring to @nutomic@lemmy.ml ^[1]^. They are one of the main Lemmy developers ^[1.1]^.
[…] what does he have to do with this post?
I presume they are bringing up @nutomic@lemmy.ml because the example GitHub repository that I cited ^[3]^ is owned by @nutomic@lemmy.ml ^[2]^; that being said, specifically regarding their claim itself that @nutomic@lemmy.ml is transphobic ^[4]^ and is a genocide denier ^[4]^ is entirely off topic, imo.
I will make no comment on the veracity of the claim itself without further evidence. I do not wish to speak for @nutomic@lemmy.ml — I will let them speak for themself here should they wish.
