Glad you admit that it's appropriate for the thread.

We are all on this journey of education together son.

People linking mobile Wikipedia articles ... What was he ? The first black woman turned male tennis player or something ?

I do that.

I just assume that if you click a mobile link from desktop (or the opposite ) that it just redirects to the right one...

Is that not the case?

Nah, I get some messed up 'mobile' formatted page. I agree with you that its probably not worth the hustle to get the right link as you'd probably end up on the desktop version with your mobile (nor should it piss me off I guess, not so sure ..).

Yak, you are right. Mobile Wikipedia links (and I think YouTube as well) are terrible on a computer. Anyone posting them should be banned.

Sportscasters (or anyone else) saying "It's not bragging if you can back it up". Isn't that the definition of bragging? If you can't back it up then it's just idle talk.

Also when someone clearly gets to the stop sign before me at a 4 way stop but then waves me through 'to be nice'. WTF man. Just go. It's your turn. You aren't being nice, you're causing confusion.

Or worse, when someone waves me through when it was clearly my turn to go anyway.

I can't wait for self driving cars.

Never hesitate at 4 way stops. I learned at ~17 there are way too many passive there. I'm sure they see me as a maniac, but f them, slowing down traffic.

Of course this isn't the right place for a discussion about him. Otherwise my post would've been longer. See how that works?

Why am I continuing to give this little speech (ed - about pronouns ) even when people would clearly rather have root canal than a little grammar talking-to? It's important. Pronoun use for trans people has been used as a cudgel to bully and wound trans people. If someone really wants to show how very much they "don't believe in" trans folks they will take repeated opportunities to use the incorrect pronoun, different from the pronoun someone has already indicated they use.

Conversely, one of the most welcoming (or triumphant!) things in my young life was being referred to by the right words; called the right name.

I learn something every day from this forum. Since it's an Espy award, I always assumed it was named in honor of English distance runner Arthur Ashby, who just missed the podium, finishing fourth in the 10 mile event at the 1907 International Cross Country Championships.

Those who are upset that SHE won the award are the exact reason that SHE deserved the award.

When people stop being offended by LGBT people they won't need courage to be themselves and therefore won't be worthy of a courage award.

Also, people who talk about politics or social issues in this thread.
