Pronouns aside, there are also some languages that are essentially gender-free, containing very few words that make reference to a person’s “natural” gender at all. Yoruba, a language spoken in Nigeria, has neither gendered pronouns nor the dozens of gendered nouns we have in English, including son, daughter, host, hostess, hero, heroine, etc. Instead, the most important distinction in Yoruba is the age of the person you’re talking about. So, instead of saying brother and sister, you would say older sibling and younger sibling, or egbun and aburo. The only Yoruba words that make reference to a person’s gender (or sex, as it were) are obirin and okorin, meaning “one who has a vagina” and “one who has a penis.” So if you really wanted to call someone your sister, you would have to say egbon mi obirin, or “my older sibling, the one with the vagina.” When you get that specific, it makes our English obsession with immediately identifying people’s sexes seem just plain creepy.

Big fan of these weird dried seed pods/flowers I found while hiking
In Prince's funky name, amen.
Millennial here. All the above and:
Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don't want a video tutorial. I don't want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.
Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.
Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they're long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.
Elder Millennial here cosigning HARD
If you really need to show a movement, embed a gif or 15-scond-or-less video in the text, like Jod intended.
I work in science communications and I am constantly hearing about how we need to try to do video to appeal to the newest generation of scientists and it's like do you think physicists who can't read are a good idea?
Gen z and please just give me text!
This. All of this. AH PLEASE GOD NO MORE INTERMINABLE TUTORIALS THAT TURN OUT TO BE NOT NEARLY ENOUGH ABOUT THE SUBJECT BUT ALL ABOUT THE TUBER IN LOVE WITH THE SOUND OF THEIR OWN VOICE.
Just write a damn article and stick in a few screenshots or whatever where necessary.
...FFS.
A written tutorial is required for regulatory work and we still get companies trying to sell software that only offers videos (and the now obligatory chat bot that refers to video tutorials...)
My dual learning style millennial butt needs to be able to READ ALONG with any spoken instructions (and ideally make handwritten notes) otherwise The Thing will not be absorbed (which is why I am SO terrible about name retention)
Emphasising this line from cinemaocd above because it really nails it: do you think physicists who can't read are a good idea?

Coworker asked if my Japanese was good enough to change the language on a device accidentally set to Hong Kong…
I am both confused as to how my coworker thought Hong Kong was still under Japanese rule and why the device had a list of countries instead of languages.
I absolutely blame Facebook for this shift. Words cannot describe how freaking WEIRD it was in the mid-00s when there was suddenly this popular website where you were required to use your real, brickspace name and encouraged to post photos of yourself. Every single bit of Standard Internet Safety prior to then said that you should never ever ever do either of those.

it’s kinda funny bc the videos of grace hanging out w rocky is the happiest eva stratt had ever seen him. like imagine guilts been haunting you and the laws been hunting you and for decades you have no idea if it’s been all for nothing and then….. first clip you see is the scientist and a sentient rock going “this is me and my BOI ✌️”
☆ visual kei word of the day ☆
Today's word is kind of random, but looking it up the meaning made me happy so here you go. The word is 輪 (rin).
Meaning: in this context it is a counter word for flowers (and also for wheels), other meanings are wheel, ring, loop
Grammar note: Japanese uses different counter words to count different kinds of objects, oftentimes it's based on the shape of the object so you can count umbrellas, bottles, pens, cucumbers and some fish using the same word - 本 (hon). The most broadly used is the 一つ (hitotsu),２つ (futatsu) kind, you can enumerate pretty much anything this way.
Lyric: 地獄に咲く一輪の花 (jigoku ni saku ichirin no hana) a single flower blooming in hell
(apparently 一輪 (ichirin) can also mean full moon, and less surprisingly one wheel)
Song: 激白 (gekihaku) by THE MADNA
