I don't want to blow up your shit, but it seems like this change happened in 2012, although it probably crossed the minds of people at the time how it would affect people without IDs and they probably didn't care. I assume it depends place to place whether they just assume you're over 18 or demand to see your ID regardless of how old you look.

California bill S.B. 514[4] states that a manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or other person is prohibited from selling or transferring a specified substance to a person under the age of 18, except as specified. Although this bill extended to the drugs ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, it was used as a starting point for building the bill for dextromethorphan. This bill provided that any infraction of a provider in an over-the-counter sale who willfully and knowingly supply, deliver, or give possession of a non-prescription drug that contains dextromethorphan to a person under the age of 18 would incur a fine of $250.The bill also mentions that proof that identification at the time of purchase was demanded by the provider can be used as a defense in criminal prosecution. The bill also states that a retail clerk who fails to identify the age of the purchaser would not be found guilty unless the retail clerk was a willful participant in an ongoing conspiracy to sell dextromethorphan to minors.

This bill took effect January 1, 2012.

We genuinely didn't foresee the potential for a miscommunication of those statements as being bioessentialist

Yeah I'm definitely more on the side of there being some bioessentialism brainworms at play, instead of it just being a "miscommunication"

I really don't think that excuses anything personally, unless you know the specific user's sexuality, gender, race it is fundamentally reactionary to assume what they are

At that point you are quite literally profiling people based on their pronouns

I'm sorry, but if people are garnering resentment for "the [he/him] demographic" at the mod/admin level, that's a failure of having pronouns on this site, no one should be reading posts and judging them based off of the poster's pronouns unless they are engaging in misogyny or something else where pronouns would actually be a relevant factor, also you don't know whether these [he/him]s are cis or not, that is extremely reactionary for a leftist website

With that group being largely cishet white guys

How do you know this? There is not a cis box next to the pronouns, there is not a race box next to the pronouns, there is not a sexuality box next to the pronouns, people are just assuming this about other people who have not made this clear? That's kind of a fucked up thing to do, I'm not personally assuming whether any user is cisgender or not, or is white or not, or is hetero or not, based on how they post unless they explicitly mention it.

If this was going on on a widespread level some serious self crit needs to be had.

EDIT 3: Sangria was Alaskaball. Banning themself was a bit. Furthermore, they were unaware that fella was a gendered term, as was I. Yes, they did effectively misgender themselves if you consider fella to be a gendered term. They don't consider it to be. Therefore, non-issue on this point.

Flipper Zero is cool, but I could never justify that price unless I had the motivation to do some diabolical shit, maybe at half the current price it could be a fun toy to do very little with

"Barfsack Ocrumbo is not real he can't hurt you"

Petition to rename the category (in the emote selector) "Barfsack Ocrumbo" to "the Obungler" from "Barfsack Ocrumbo" pains me spiritually

take some time off away from the site while we work it out.

This is just rude

Addressing this takes time.

Then just say you're working on it, nowhere in the above post even mentions it

This wasn't really adressed, so I'm just gonna include my comment from the last thread, so maybe it will get adressed, as it was way out of pocket and deserves a response.

I think there should probably be some accountability for whoever was/were behind "the white cishet man vibes" part of the post, editing it out of the original post doesn't change that is was there, saying that shit was kinda fucked, as many people in the original post noted

I think both lol, but who knows, her resignation is a work of art though

Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of this year.

retired to enjoy the revolving door as soon as she could

It's very funny that over years of indocrination I've trained my cat to be at least somewhat okay with having their teeth brushed daily, that shit has got to make no fucking sense to a cat

To be fair I think Kary Lake has got to be one of the most hated politicians in the state, if they had run anyone else it probably would have been closer, and also Ruben Gallego is a super patriotic Iraq war Marine whose wife is a lobbyist for the National Association of Realtors, so he's not one to get excited for.

The story he told somewhat recently about a guy on a plane asking if he's Jewish and then waving around the $300 sukkot lemon with them

My only comment is that I think it's a good idea to make one for named real people and another for random twitter/lemmy/reddit users, I personally have a lot more interest in what public social media accounts of notable people in the world are saying vs random users of r/neoliberal

I think this is extremely anti social behaviour, but also very funny that people are giving you a reason why they blocked you and sharing it with other people, I can't even begin to imagine the lists of some people on here if this feature was on lemmy, "@HexbearsStrongestSoldier" blocked on 1000 different lists
