The word, as an insult, may be used predominantly to refer to either gender in some parts of the world, but in other parts it’s usually gender-specific. Both points of view – that it’s misogynistic and that it’s not – could be argued to be valid because we live in different cultures. That said, we’re a global audience here and so using this word across cultures becomes problematic.
Here in the USA, it’s still a mostly gendered word based in misogyny. People in the US claiming otherwise probably just don’t want to stop using the word as an insult and either don’t believe or care that it perpetuates misogyny in the US when used against women.
The claim in this thread that it’s matter-of-fact not misogynistic is untrue globally.
I didn’t know that, thank you for mentioning it. That’s perfect.
I can’t tell if this is just Wizards of the Coast panicking and flailing because they are out of good ideas, or if they are actually carefully analyzing and re-evaluating older cards because the balance and synergy of the current cards allow for the use of these older cards without being game breaking.
Thanks! I will try disabling Decky plugins if I still have the issue.
So this may still be possible
This article seems to be saying that’s it’s not only possible, it’s being actively (and I would assume widely) exploited on current versions of Android. Google is supposed to catch any abuses of listed exceptions, but they are either missing a bunch or letting them intentionally slide through. Either way, apps being able to see other apps is a big security risk that IMO only the user should be able to explicitly allow, and on a case-by-case basis.
Yeah, meaning all newer phones past Android 11 shouldn’t have this issue, but they do because of a workaround by shady companies that Google is either not aware of or not addressing. This issue isn’t limited to older phones – quite the opposite.
Does this update fix the ‘no sound through HDMI when docking’ issue that plagues both my official and third-party docks? These ports and plugs weren’t designed to handle my frustrated, high-rate plugging and unplugging, and I am so very tired.
I love stuff like this! I never had an NGage because the competing handhelds at the time were better. I’ve never even seen one in person.
Well that was a horrifying read. Is there any software that can protect against this? GrapheneOS? LineageOS? A Magisk module?
What do you mean? The article is talking about current versions of Android.
Yeah IMO both shows have amazing music!
Any gadget or device that connects to the internet. TVs, cell phones, gaming consoles, PCs, cars, ebikes, cameras (SO MANY CAMERAS), “smart speakers”, home automation, etc.
Just because I am scared of them doesn’t mean I don’t use them, but I do refuse to connect them to the internet when possible, or else limit what data they are sending. It’s exhausting though. I miss when the only devices that had internet connections were desktop computers.
You’re The Worst
– A dark comedy / romantic comedy that centers on two toxic, self-destructive people who fall in love and attempt a relationship. –
Absolutely amazing TV show by Stephen Falk. Criminally underrated. It is my favorite show of all time. It should be available to stream on Hulu, otherwise pirating it may be the only way to watch it.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
– A bright, wonderful and adorable show (animated by Dreamworks) that follows 13-year-old Kipo navigating a post-apocalyptic world full of evolved animals with human-level intelligence, and making friends along the way. –
This is a family-friendly show that took me about 7 episodes to get hooked. I am so glad I stuck with it! Made by Radford Sechrist and Bill Wolkoff. It’s on Netflix. It also had a small DVD release that may be difficult to find.
Article:
Maine has had a bumpy month, with funding cuts, a censured lawmaker and citizen protests, after the Democratic governor tangled with President Donald Trump over the issue of transgender athletes.
School leaders in Maine said they will not heed a Trump administration warning to ban a transgender athlete from competing with cisgender girls.
Banning the athlete would violate Maine’s anti-discrimination laws, the school district’s board of directors, who oversee schools in Cumberland and North Yarmouth, said in a letter to community members this week. The announcement comes after school leaders made public displays of support for Maine’s laws and policies affecting transgender athletes after a public showdown between Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills over the issue grabbed national headlines.
By allowing the single Greely High School student to compete, the board of directors said the district is following its own guidelines “promoting a safe, caring and ethical learning environment where each person will be treated with respect and fairness.”
Last week, federal officials told the Maine Department of Education and administrators at Greely High School that allowing transgender girls on girls’ sports teams violates Title IX protections for women. The school district overseeing the high school said it was given 10 days to comply “or risk further action.”
The student-athlete at Cumberland’s Greely High School recently became a national focal point, ending up in the crosshairs of Trump’s policies after the president signed an executive order in February aimed at “keeping men out” of women’s sports.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills told Trump at the White House later that month that Maine would follow state laws allowing athletes to compete on teams aligning with their gender identity. The remark fueled a heated public exchange between the two, and in March, the USDA paused federal funding for Maine’s university system.
In its letter, the Maine school district directly addressed its students, who district leaders said did not let themselves become preoccupied by the angry rhetoric surrounding their peers and school sports.
“To our students: Thank you for your maturity, perseverance, and dedication to learning through these distractions. Please continue to lead the way,” the school district wrote in its letter.
Since the school district is not complying with the U.S. Department of Health and Services warning, no school rules have changed, the district told teachers. The district encouraged educators to support each student both socially and academically.
“Thank you for your honesty, perspective, and continued kindness towards one another. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future,” the letter said.
The school district’s superintendent and Greely High School’s athletic director did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the school’s athletic community and sports policies.
Chandler’s “dad” was trans, but they didn’t use that word. I don’t remember if they ever put a hard label on that character, but his dad wasn’t just a drag queen. Chandler’s growing acceptance over the course of the show was a positive, but the jokes made were not.
