none of your examples make sense. “trillion” has more gravity than “billion” in headlines. simple as that.

yes, that’s why i specified competitive tetris.

it’s the one that they play at the largest tournaments, and the tetris game with the most sought after world records, so i’m using that as my indicator. what would you say is the most popular version for competative play?

they’re talking about the nintendo entertainment version of tetris, which is the most popular competitive version of tetris.

i’ve never heard if a version of tetris without line clears. as far as i know it was in the original version distrubuted on floppy disks.

the american dub of crayon shin chan they called the character ‘action kamen’ ‘action bastard’ instead. i like the ring of action bastard but don’t want profanity in my name so i went with basto.

taking the article into more consideration i think you are right, this comment was pushed to the bottom so i guess by the time i got there it had slipped my mind what exactly the article said haha. though i do think it comes from a place of ignorance rather than malice. i personally might have made the same mistake which is why i attempted to give them the benefit of the doubt. prior to conversing with you i wasn’t very well informed on the etiquette. i would have assumed “they/them” was just the safest route to avoid offending anyone regardless of whether or not i knew.

did they edit their comment? or is it wrong to call someone who prefers she/her by they/them? i feel like they/them is the neutral version so if you prefer either he/him or she/her then they/them also applies, no? sorry if i’m being ignorant here.

edit: i guess people do distinguish they/them as a way to identify non-binary people, and so using they/them on a person who specifically requests she/her can be offensive if you have been informed that they have a preference. but i don’t see how using they/them to describe a person you don’t know anything about other than that they are transgender is offensive when there are so many possibilities for preferences. as a cis man i don’t feel offended being refered to as they/them and i think it would only be respectful to assume that someone who transitions ftm would also be comfortable with that, unless otherwise stated. i’m not a woman so i obviously can’t say for certain but i’d imagine i would also be okay with she/them, and therefore a mtf transgender would also be okay by default. ‘by default’ in this case meaning the circumstance in which you haven’t been explicitly informed of their preferences. i guess that’s just my respect compass- which very well might be wrong from some people’s point of view but i think it’s obvious that it doesn’t come from a negative place, which is why i don’t think the original comment in necessarily trying to disrespect her.

so he’s a fucking idiot is your excuse?
