You can make a distinction between gender when it comes to the phrases. To my male friends, yeah. Depending on the situation I can see myself saying both of those phrases. But to my female friends? They don’t mean the same thing.

“Calm your tits” is a maybe depending on the circumstances and how close we are, but never in an aggressive tone.

“Stop being such a bitch”, downright out. Never to those friends. So many better ways to phrase it depending on the circumstances.

And finally, all of these were to my friends, NOT A FUCKING COWORKER. You never say these things to coworkers. The whole goal of team management is promoting teamwork, these phrase foster nothing but animosity. I try to say anything even remotely close to those phrases and my ass will be out of a job before lunch (and for good reason).

In terms of legal, IANAL, but as far as I know you would have to present this to a jury or judge, and the bar that they’d have to pass in the US is “more likely than not”. In other words: “is it more likely than not that this comment was made to harass the individual based on their sex?” Pretty low bar to cross.

Also, LTT is a Canadian company, so the above paragraph is kinda moot to the whole situation.

TL;DR: those phrases are rude to women, LTT would likely have a rough time in court (if they were a US company)

How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?

Ask them to unlock their phone and give it to me. If they have nothing to hide from me, then they truly have nothing to hide from anyone since I probably dont hold power over them (nor do I care to).

If they say yes, I show them that im going through their photos, location history, browsing history, texts, emails, all the usual suspects for surveilance. If they're ok with all of that, then by God they truly have nothing to hide.

If they say no, I ask them why. Try to let them find the answer for themselves.

Most just refuse, which is a good reminder to them that everyone has some secrets to keep. Even if they're completely innocuous.

Max Verstappen wins the 2023 Austrian Sprint

Honestly Max feels like he’s on another level even compared to other “on another level” years from other drivers. Like, the consistency from Quali to race, event after event, is insane. A season to remember.

And I hate it like cmon max can you chill with the throttle I wanna see some racing at the front why you driving away bb?

[Discussion] Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season - Episode 1

Wow, I’m impressed with just how good it all looks. I thought S1 looked fantastic but this is another level. Voice acting was great, sound design was perfect, just an insane start to a season. Makes me a little scared to see how they can keep it up for another 22 episodes.

Story wise im still surprised to see us stick completely with the flashback (is it really a flashback if it isn’t momentary?). I haven’t read the manga, and I avoided anything preview related to go in blind, looks like that didn’t really matter.

Here’s hoping this is the worst episode, cause then it’d be a 10/10 season. I can definitely see this being the AOTS, but not calling it just yet

Is there any possibility of introducing bots like AutoLovepon and Roboragi here?

Yeah, looks like you've put a bit more thought into the deployment that I did. I was going to run it as a scheduled task on my personal computer (I'm cheap) and was only going to move it to a cloud env if it became clear that was going to cause issues.

As for the Git repo, I took a different philosophy. Since Reddit and Lemmy are two separate entities and the dev team for the original repo showed little interest in porting it I figured I would just fork it and leave it as a new repo specific to Lemmy. I didn't want to really go through the effort of supporting both sites.

I think we can go with your setup, it solves my main concern of supporting both sites since we can both work on it. I'll PM you some of the minor things I changed to better support Lemmy. I haven't heard back from the mods since yesterday, so no threads just yet!
