re: people being weird about inclusivity 

@not_on_pizza@weirder.earth I don't think so!

but the argument is particularly weird when you realize that.... it's not exclusive of right-wing people? like presumably "ladies and gentlemen and everyone else" or whatever alternative you'd come up with to use would still include everyone regardless of affiliation

@packbat not necessarily, there are explosives that don't involve any form of combustion at all! nuclear explosives among them, but also stuff like nitrogen triiodide which is more just a really violent decomposition than anything you could call fire, or even simpler, a pressure explosion when you overpressurize a pressure vessel

people think of the sun as some kind of thing on fire but actually it's a nuclear explosion that just keeps exploding

-F

@Austin_Dern oh it's really based on a specific frame of a thing, isn't it? -F

@packbat makes you kind of wonder where the opinion comes from
-F

@packbat having strong opinions on inconsequential things is an interesting phenomenon
-F

@packbat It's not like it really matters which of the four identical dots counts as the period, though!

looks like exactly one person agrees with us on this
