  Why would someone want to add gendered pronouns to a language

  For adding specificity to lamguage. If you are talking about several people, the disambiguation can be handy.

  We could have add pronouns that distinguish by size, or age, etc.

  The really stupid feature of most indo-european is the arbitrary gendering of most nouns.

  Let’s start a pool to predict how many years/months until Steam enshitifies. It WILL happen. It’s just a matter of when.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do some clothes shrink in the laundry and what can I do to prevent it?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The combination of heat and agitation are needed to shrink fabric (especially wool). Heat makes the normally kinky, twisty, grippy fibers more flexible and looser. Agitation allows the loose fibers to reach other fibers farther away and grab onto them as they cool, pulling them closer, thus shrinking the fabric.

  Heat and very careful stretching can somewhat restore the original size, but restoring the shape is harder.

  I don’t know why you’re being down voted. I’m I’m on of the cyclist with a huge ass-belly.

  I see no evidence that these bike manufacturers are super profitable, so I doubt there is much “massive profiteering”. Good bicycles are a high tech but low volume industry.

  I spent 1.2k on a lower-end-good-bike 11 years ago. It’s the best fun per dollar purchase I’ve made in my 60ish year life. I wish I’d spent a few hundred more for an Ultegra group set.

  Remember when NASCAR racing meant “stock” car racing? Me neither.

  Cycling is the new golf. There are lots of 50 year old dentists with disposable income out there who think electionic shifting and aero carbon wheels will enable them to drop their “buddies” on their Saturday group ride.

  I saw this movie as a teenager when it came out. I have very remember very little about it except walking out thinking that it was the stupidest movie I’d ever seen. I’m sure I’ve seen worse since then.

  Yeah, but it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. That alone makes it worth the price.
