  • Your in-group language may be viewed as acceptable within your siloed communications, but that doesn’t mean it’s generally appropriate. “Female” is an adjective, and we already have an appropriate word in English for a female person, “woman.”

    The use of “female” as a noun is objectifying and dehumanizing–reflecting terminology generally reserved for describing other animals.

    I’d encourage you to ask some women how they feel about the term and take their responses to heart, but apparently you can’t keep their attention for more than 2 days.

    Oh, and who you calling “you people?”


  • females

    Did you mean “women?”

    females

    Perhaps you meant “women?”

    female

    Pretty sure you actually meant “woman.”


    No issue, no awkward moment, no creepiness nothing.

    You sure about that? Your disdain, misunderstanding, and disregard for women in general was on full display in this one post. Its entirely possible that within 2 days of conversation the woman you were talking with realized you weren’t the kind of person she wanted in her life.


  • Kinda just seems like she likes to play games with people and so had a list of people she could contact to play. You used to be a reliable candidate, and now you’re not.

    I don’t know what you envision as “getting close,” but is it possible she didn’t view y’all as being close?

    I’m guessing y’all have asymmetrical goals and expectations. She realized this and adapted.






  • I had to put my Prusa i3 mk3s+ in storage for about a year when I was looking for a bigger place. I tucked it under the couch’s cushions when I moved from the east coast to the Rockies, and literally only had to blow the dust off the build plate before I was able to print again.

    I can’t imagine most other printers going through that without needing at least a recalibration or leveling.

    That reason alone will have me strongly considering Prusa when looking for my next printer.
