I used to play WoW and recently quit bc of several, several issues I had with the game + the company at large. It was like D4 opened my eyes. I personally won’t be spending anymore money with them.

Feels like too little too late? Especially since they lied about what they were going to deliver. After this + Diablo 4, I really do not understand how people continue to give them money.

Well no lol you gotta read the room sometimes 😅

It’s good that OP means well, but also there are so many of us who do not care and are not affected because we know the speaker is using a generalized term and isn’t (usually) being malicious with it. I call several of my cisgender girl friends “dude” and “bro” and I’ll call men “girl” as a joke sometimes (like, girl what are you doing?). Many of these terms simply have completely lost their original gendered meaning in a lot of contexts.

I’m AFAB enby, saying “you guys” and calling me “dude” is fine. Those to me aren’t gendered anymore. The people who get offended at general terms like these for groups of people need to touch grass.

But if you’re dead set on it, embrace y’all lol. Just don’t say it with a southern drawl and you’ll be fine. It’s a fantastic gender neutral term. You can also just train yourself not to add in the “you guys” to the “what’s up” phrase, and maybe just say “what’s up with you?” “What’s up with you all?” Etc.

I don’t plan to, their new Pokémon games suck anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

If I could BUY a digital copy of Pokémon red I would. But I cannot. They won’t re-release it. So what am I to do? Same with all their other old games. I’d 100% pay for it if they sold it. But they don’t. Them not selling it doesn’t mean I suddenly don’t want to play it anymore.

I swear at this rate they’re gonna bring back the draft bc they can’t recruit nobody for nothing lmao

Most places use this sort of software (at least, larger companies). I have worked with doctors who refused to use it and instead developed templates for common items they copied + pasted into the MAR software / PACS, etc., and they just type what they need. That’s what they did before dictation software existed anyway. It’s not as efficient, but it’s basically the only way to avoid this.

This isn’t new, my last apartment did this. Their internet was mediocre at best, and I couldn’t afford to just do my own AND pay for the forced upon me internet.
