It's a shame it's naught spelt yaught.

One counterpoint I would have to those other hobbies (I enjoy all of them, so no disrespect to them or practitioners of them) is they don't expose a person to new ideas as easily. Reading is great for getting a potential new perspective on something, or just absorbing new ideas in general.

You can always combine both by reading up on another hobby you have, best of both worlds so to speak.

I can think of 731 reasons why.

Edit: or I hope they don't mengele the translations.

Fair enough, I'll have to give it a try next time I make mac and cheese.

So, I have to ask, why peas? It's not something I would think to add to mac and cheese.

Ooooooooh!

Who lives in a ᵀᶦⁿʸ pineapple under the sea?

Now that's a food pyramid I can support.

Okay, but, what if I choose another entire pizza as my pizza topping? What then science?!

Thanks for the perspective, that makes sense!

What aspect of this appeals to you? I'm having a hard time understanding the appeal of it.

I enjoy a good Irish breakfast, not sure what specifically is the difference between that and a traditional english breakfast. Just tastes smoother to me.

Behold! My loins are awaiting thyself!

A cute video I saw from the perspective of a cat living its best life.

 

So I've realized that in conversations I'll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I've been thinking that it's not as inclusive to women/trans people.

For example I would say:

"What's up guys?" "How's it going man?" "Good job, my dude!” etc.

Replacing these terms with person, people, etc sounds awkward. Y'all works but sounds very southern US (nowhere near where I am located) so it sounds out of place.

So what are some better options?

Edit: thanks for all the answers peoples, I appreciate the honest ones and some of the funny ones.

The simplest approach is to just drop the usage of guys, man, etc. Folks for groups and mate for singular appeal to me when I do want to add one in between friends.

 

I'm looking for a simple alternative to Splitwise to self host. Currently my partner and I use it to keep track of monthly expenses to ensure there is roughly even spending between us. Doesn't have to be complex, in fact the simpler the better as my partner prefers simple, ready to use tech. It would only need to be accessed locally as we update expenses once or twice a month, and would prefer FOSS to have control over our data.

I thought of having a Spreadsheet that is synced using syncthing between my computer and her phone. This seems simple on my end, but I worry that it would be more complicated for my partner as they primarily would use this on their iphone. Currently on splitwise you can add expenses with only a couple button presses.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for an app to help learn the basics of language similar to Duolingo. Something to become conversational to get started.

As the title says, is there a good mobile alternative for excel on fdroid? I found libreoffice but it hasn't worked so far with any spreadsheet I've tried opening.
