In The Whole ‘dude’ Conversation I Think We Should Talk About Why Male Terms Are Considered Neutral

In the whole ‘dude’ conversation I think we should talk about why male terms are considered neutral but the same cannot be said for those that are considered female. No one would argue that ‘dudette’ is a neutral term the way the do ‘dude’. Instead of arguing about how much ‘dude’ is just an everyone word for you, why not actively try to use more ‘feminine’ terms in your language instead of what you consider gender neutral and then masculine.

for sure, it is really Interesting how masculine language can become neutral but once a word becomes feminized it's done for any other use cases. it just further enforces men as default human beings and women as an aberration from that. look at the word girl! girl (or rather its predecessors) meant any young child from like 1200 - 1300, and then by 1400 it had evolved to mean a female child specifically and that has pretty much stayed the course since. but all the people insisting dude/bro/bud is neutral despite it's original (and current) uses seem to have absolutely no interest in redefining/returning to the origins of girl in the same way

Don't know how to explain it but Simi is the opposite of Brocedes. Met later in life vs childhood friends. Strangers to best friends vs best friends to strangers. My favourite teammate vs the teammate I don't speak about. Being teammate brought us closer vs being teammate destroyed us. Seb and Kimi always saying to the press the other was their only friend on the grid vs Lewis "We are not friends". Seb being the one person Kimi extensively talked to vs Nico speaking in any language bar English to avoid speaking with Lewis. Kimi staying at Ferrari for Seb vs Nico leaving Mercedes without a warning to Lewis. Seb and Kimi always talking about eachothers vs Lewis being silent about Nico (Nico is talking to a wall). Seb saying that it's "impossible" to fight with Kimi because everytime there was an issue they openly discussed it vs Lewis and Nico fighting tooth and nail. Seb and Kimi openly despising and never using "mind games" with their teammate vs the psychological war that Nico and Lewis carried on (and Nico saying he doesn't regret playing mind games). Seb and Kimi defending eachothers against journalists vs Nico and Lewis using press to wage war. Seb and Kimi both taking their distance from F1 vs Nico and Lewis still clinging to the sport in any way they can. Ferrari red vs Mercedes silver, the first being the last heartbeats of one of the most beautiful friendship on the F1 grid, the second the first signs of the beginning of a heartbreaking war. "It's like I've known you my entire life" vs "I used to know you, but I don't anymore".

Also Charles being the son of Simi's divorce (went to Ferrari when Kimi was dropped) and Max being the son of Brocedes's divorce (he was there in 2016, front row seat).

In case you were wondering, "losing your voice" in sociolinguistics is the phenomenon where a person moves into a new environment where their speech and mannerisms aren't considered prestigious or fitting anymore, such as an Indian doctor with a well respected British dialect just sounding Indian in Britain.

not to senna/schumacher post on main but do you ever think about this picture

Not To Senna/schumacher Post On Main But Do You Ever Think About This Picture

[ nicola larini and schumacher being told that senna was in critical condition ]

or this clip of michael being asked if equalling senna meant much to him

do you ever think about the fact that michael was in denial when confronted with senna's death and only admitted to accepting it two weeks after the fact. do you ever think he would have felt guilt realising he watched senna sustain his injuries a few corners ahead during a seemingly "innocuous crash" whilst chasing him. do you ever think, retrospectively, that he felt like he shouldn't have won at imola. do you ever think about the fact that even in death senna continued to dominate headlines, eclipsing schumacher's win. do you ever think about the fact that schumacher and senna would occasionally meet after races to discuss where they had gone wrong/where they had lost speed. do you ever think about schumacher realising that would never happen again. do you ever think about the love that was there.

because i do.

Every single time I've told someone that my fav film is the martian they are severely underwhelmed and i dont get it. What about this movie isn't MOVING YOU TO PIECES

sometimes you just have to sob over the martian film at its depiction of human nature and the nature of science and spaceflight. ITS ABOUT THE LOVE AND KINDNESS AND CARING FOR A SINGLE HUMAN LIFE.

venting

saya takde apa pun nak cakap. Bila ku tak tinggal di msia saya takde orang nak bercakap melayu dengan. Saya berasa macam sedih sikit? Ini paling lama masa yang saya tak cakap dan tak dengar bm dah. Bukan lah macam bm is my first language also, saya bercakap ingris kat rumah dan sekolah selalu, so speaking english is not the adjustment. Walaupun saya tak berfikir dalam bm, ku mau the chance to bercakap dalam malay anyways.
