  • I only have two dictionaries, but both have male and female as both adjectives and nouns. In what dictionary are you seeing them only as adjectives?

    Even dictionary.com has “noun: a male person” and “noun: a female person”, which goes directly against both your grammar point and your livestock point.

    Hopefully you’re just a linguistic prescriptivist with a preferred dictionary that doesn’t match mine. Edit: removed a rude remark

    That said, as a descriptivist, I accept that those words (as nouns or otherwise) are changing to sometimes be derogatory, so I try not to use them to describe people, just to avoid my intentions being misunderstood.

  • What kind of SovCit crap is this?

    The IRS doesn’t need a warrant to issue a levy. And once they do, they’ll garnish your wages, can take money from your bank/retirement accounts, and can seize and auction your personal property including vehicles and real estate.

  • Purple is such a terrible example of this, since it’s pretty-much-violet. Magenta shows the issue far more clearly.

    Also, Young and Helmholtz figured this out in the 1800s. We’ve known this for over a century. This is more of a “today I found out” kind of thing at this point, not “news”.

  • How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

    Until the costs to themselves outweigh the benefits. Otherwise why not tolerate it? Even the word tolerate implies that it bothers them beyond a minor PR issue. Normal people need to gain the ability to think like sociopaths if they want to understand them.
