Funnily enough; you can make a computer be no "rocks" at all, with everything being calculated by water.

I think that one may have more than two edges XD

Interestingly enough, in old English you had "werman" and "wifman" for man and woman respectively, in which case referring to all with "mankind" makes perfect sense. So the originator for mankind seems more likely to be from that than the explanation that it's a shortening of "humankind" to me.

Merriam-Webster would like to disagree with your assertion that it is not "non-gendered"

Thanks to @Mobilityfuture@lemmy.world for the link in https://lemmy.ml/comment/7077751 (I don't know if I could make that link in a better way)

How cross does he have to be?

To be fair, it makes sense to liken the use of ad blockers with piracy. Consuming the content without paying for it either way, either without directly paying yourself or without indirectly paying through watching ads. Doesn't change that ads on most parts of the internet are extremely invasive and far too much.

I feel fully entitled to protect myself from the ads because of the problems with them. But I don't feel the need to lie to myself about the fact that I'm consuming content without paying for it in some way. Then again I support some content creators that I feel deserve it. Not sure if that helps offset it somewhat or not, but I don't really care that much either.

With Lemmy you probably can do that "fairly easily"

Damn I hate Discord for information. It's not open. It's nice as a chat (except for the whole thing with using Electron), but not for having information available.

Love it when people only react negatively with a down arrow as "punishment" as well.
That really showed me.
