So I know people tend to get all prickly about "snowflake" talk, but when people describe "microaggressions," this is what they mean.
It's not OMG TRIGGERED meme, it's subtle "you don't belong here" prods that most people don't notice, ignore, or ascribe to simple mistakes.
The target is usually the only one who notices.
Thank you, @Ian_J.

I wasn't trying to offend you, I think you know that. Why would I do that? Do whatever makes you happy, it's none of my business. If I slip up with a pronoun are you at all surprised or offended? Or do you enjoy pointing out someones unintentional faux pas? Trying to keep up with all of the new definitions of words, terms or phrases that I grew up with my entire life isn't possible. How do you prefer to be addressed is not a question I learned to ask when my parents were teaching me how to be polite. I will from here on out endeavor to remember that you are she.

Disagree. It is the ultimate imperative of any biological organism to reproduce and expand. Ethical considerations are not relevant.

You could just go with "my bad, apologies" if it wasn't deliberate. It's easy.

Am I allowed to believe both that Elon is a chungus and that Boeing shouldn’t be anywhere near a crewed spacecraft?
Boris Badenov

Sure. As I have no doubt beaten into the rhetorical ground, one doesn't have to *like* Elon (to the extent that any of us proles really know him) in order to think SpaceX is a pretty great thing. You could even argue that it's a weird artifact of the current moment that anyone thinks the two things are connected at all.

Watching the 2 Falcon 9 heavy boosters land in formation on their tails, as God and Heinlein intended, will never not be cool.

Musk betrayed the "progressives". He was a hero that brought affordable quality electric vehicles to the masses and made commercial space flight a reality. But he bought Twitter and gutted it and now he's a pariah to the folks that wanted to fellate him just a couple of years ago. It has nothing to do with logic or pragmatism, it's all about tribalism and feelings. Ask those Boeing astronauts how they feel about SpaceX right about now.

Here's Musk talking with Leno in 2008 regarding the first Tesla, if you watch the whole thing I hope you pay attention to what he says about building charging stations. They'd already started buying land and building stations back then. Everyone loved him until they were told not to...

I can’t recall Musk having a significant progressive following at all. His vocal supporters seemed to be libertarian gamers on the spectrum with misogynistic tendencies.
He picked up a more conservative following when he pushed back against Covid restrictions. So, conservatives with misogynistic tendencies.
With his purchase of Twitter, it seems his primary followers are lovers of amateur porn … with misogynistic tendencies.
I wouldn’t suggest that Tesla owners have much affinity for Musk.

Who cares? I don't. Have never spent a single second on twatter and never will. I'd give him credit if he just legitimately shut it down and fired everyone.
