holy shit that churchill thread was embarrassing

I just noticed that long-click doesn't seem to work on mac anymore for context menus, I guess they gave up on the one button idea?

<p>Ok I promise it won’t be all baggy sweatshirt selfies if I’m feeling ok about how I look. <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/selfie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfie</span></a></p>

where does one derive legitimacy for things such as language? take english, for example, if you count just purely from numbers then by right the people of the indian subcontinent ought to dictate the terms. but if you count it from the peoples having used it the longest, why isn’t British English the standard used throughout the world? or is it the time old adage of power and resources? in that case, America, which only a portion of the population actually descended from English speaking peoples gets outsized influence on how the language is used all throughout the world..

@cell@pl.ebin.zone @nemesis@the.asbestos.cafe Definitely, to say nothing of the stereotype of Teochew being the actual so-called "Oriental Jews". But as of yet I don't think it really has much currency in the west bc they aren't quite looking for a new scapegoat yet.

I once tried putting myself on a girl-boy spectrum between the binaries and it didn’t work for me. But then I realized that being dual-binary was a much more accurate description, or bigender as I found it was called. Which was great, because it isolated the bit I didn’t relate to, and which I needed to transform.</p>

@allison@hidamari.apartments @nemesis@the.asbestos.cafe >evil Chinese that’s already a long running stereotype in southeast asia btw :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_network

@nemesis@the.asbestos.cafe Oh definitely confirmation bias is a large part of it, but I think a lot of it is simply (due to various cultural and educational factors that are far too long for me to get into here) Jewish people being overrepresented in higher education and thus proximally having more opportunities to engage in professions of their choosing be it for good or ill. I'm sure in a few decades time we will see similar stereotyping about those evil Chinese or... whatever else.
