Kind of off topic but you and Stamets post SO MUCH STUFF that I'm starting to wonder if ya'all are really just one person on the account and where you guys source content...

Lol, we do both post a ton and love Star Trek, but I promise we're different people. The thought of trying to double my contribution to Lemmy as one person sounds daunting.

I can't speak for Stamets, but I source most of my stuff from other sites like Twitter or Tumblr. I don't like using reddit out of principle, but I know a lot of their stuff gets circulated elsewhere, and I have taken from some "best of" reddit content when trying to help jump-start some small niche communities here.

I also make a bunch of memes now when I get the chance, mostly for Risa lately, but also for a handful of other communities I really like.

You're actually five different people each

Stamets doesn't love Star Trek. Star Trek is about taking joy in exploring new life and new cultures. Stamets met a nonbinary person and said "that's transphobic" because he didn't understand it.

Right? I was driven to pick up my phone and look around Lemmy, just because of two of you.

I found myself wondering how Stamets is doing. Random internet stranger, who via Risa, enriches my life.

You're cool too Picard, but Stamets, dreamy.

Fuck Stamets, he's a transphobe

If you're not gonna bother to link something why even post? I don't know either of you. All this post boils down to from my perspective is "random Internet stranger accuses other, slightly less random Internet stranger of transphobia." That and $5 will score me a latte.

Stamets went off about how xenogenders are transphobic in this thread:

He then logged onto his alt and posted this:

The level of self-own here is impressive. As is either the commitment to the bit or the delusion. Either way, you'll make a fine entry on my block list.

That dude is a class a troll and/or batshit. Not sure which, but I'll be taking the same action.

I'm not a dude, my gender is literally in my username.

Dude is not gender specific, you moron. Unisex terms are suitable for any type of sex. Including your insane bug-sex.

Well, you're wrong and I don't like you, but somehow I'm still happy that at least someone is acknowledging my gender. Even if they hate it, I'm just glad it's not being dismissed as not my actual sex. I'm happier being told my gender is insane than that I have no gender. So thank you.

I'm not wrong though. "Dude" is now also used as a unisex term. It's not the 60s anymore.

Unisex is an adjective indicating something is not sex-specific.

So in your opinion, you can hurt someone's feelings and not apologise if that person doesn't share your opinions on linguistics?

Any hurting of feelings spanning from not knowing what a word means is your own responsibility.

I nor anyone else can be responsible for problems in your understanding of modern English. Not in the slightest.

Simply, you have a misconception about the word, not an opinion.

You are, of course, welcome to come with any arbitrary definitions for common words, but doing so will just make communication with others more difficult. Still doesn't make them "linguistic opinions". It's language, which evolves constantly, whether you acknowledge the fact or not.
