I'm the whitest, straightest, most moderate person you'll ever meet. Just stick to my resume, and don't look at my lemmy comments.

Unfortunately work me will say whatever my coworker needs to hear to get quick, accurate replies, save anything prejudice or cruel. Did my agnostic ass happily discuss dyeing Easter eggs with an old white dude who Teamsed me "happy Easter if that's even acceptable anymore"? Praise your white American Jesus you know I did.

Easter is not inherently a christian holiday goddammit. At least not in its popular celebration. Last I checked Jesus didn't pop eggs from his butt when he resurrected (that we know of) and the preachings of the Easter Bunny are unfortunately not canon in Catholicism.

To complain about "religious persecution" of profoundly pagan (if not outright heretical depending on who you ask) traditions is... certainly an interesting exercise in religious cognitive dissonance.

Jesus didn't pop eggs out of his butt, he popped them out of his cloaca like the silly little lizard boy he is.

Lul based. Same here, whatever will get them to leave me alone the soonest so I can continue toiling.

Too busy fighting off the dark thoughts inherent in capitalism, talk to me after my shift.

literally me fr. Struggling with gender identity but too riddled with anxiety to want to have to put anything out there in a social environment, let alone work.

Probably for the best to not share it at work unless it's something huge like going outwardly trans.

Personally the less my coworkers know about me the better.

dont say shit like that on my posts dog, there is no better way to stuff yourself down. 😤

This but also there's no good they/them in German. Gotta wait for the feature first.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Just make shit up. Just do der/dem which will confuse the fuck out of people.

Using das is like calling people it. So usually very insulting.

But der/dem is male

Maybe ze? The way "they" sounds with a German accent?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

"ze" is more like "the", no? I've seen "dey" been used sometimes, but it's not common at all

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

"Ze" would be pronounced like "tsay." "Zie" would be closer to "the", sounding like "tsee."
