Good conversation on the topic here
Basically, it is becoming more common in English writing to use the masculine “hero” as gender neutral when the figure is a famous and/or historical figure.
If it is a fictional character, “heroine” is still widely used.
There’s been a wider trend of using gender neutral terms in the language. “They” as a replacement for “he” or “she”, for example, used to be improper but is now quite widely accepted and not only when speaking about a non-binary person.
This isn’t some technological triumph. This is terrifying. This is the military-industrial complex testing its capabilities. I know these batteries were specifically made for this, but what’s to stop a malicious actor or government pushing malware to civilian phones to explode a battery?
This case is heartbreaking.
He confessed! Shame on those lawyers for this trash narrative.
No adult would blow up their whole life at the age of 71 if this was consensual.
Mme. Pelicot is a hero to women.
Of course that’s the fucking guy. Just… look at him. I’m convinced that these men are so ugly inside and they know it. They know no right minded woman would stay with them so they want to trap women into doing so. What are they going to do after they come at divorce, take away our rights to finances too?
And it’s always the fucking Catholic dogma. It’s crap and enables TERRIBLE behaviour because people feel they can get the priest to wave a magic forgiveness wand no matter what depraved shit they do.
Gotta get money from somewhere I guess. Isn’t this a prime example of colonialism though?
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, to paraphrase the famous quote.
Point being that they didn’t know what Lyme Disease was until they made the breakthrough discovery.
Your smartphone can’t see viruses or heat but other cameras can. Point being, there’s lots a normal camera can’t see.
Several things.
What would be enough proof if what we’re dealing with is beyond our current comprehension? Do they need to trot it out on live TV? Lyme disease wasn’t discovered until relatively recently like the 70s or 80s iirc and it was because a Doctor got it. Up until then they were saying it was juvenile arthritis.
I’m just saying that there has been a lot going on recently if you pay attention.
Either a lot of really high level officials are lying or military/intelligence is. Knowing how going public with this stuff can ruin your life, what possible motivation would they have to lie. There is no big money in this.
