Bah, Canada’s part of the same treaties. We still did it.

I think you mean “dyaaadddddd…”

Well that’s pretty inexcusable then.

Context matters. In a room one-on-one, yes, absolutely it’s like a phone call. Out in public, the non-verbal cues matter much more. As a concrete example, phone calls in the quiet are just fine, but I can’t use a drive-through.

Don’t know much about fhe context here, so I won’t defend this person if she’s actually pretending. That said, I wore masks consistently, and completely understand their value, and would never complain about people wearing them, but…

Holy hell are people harder to understand when wearing them. I know it’s a me problem, and I know why it’s a problem, so I completely understand why somebody would say that.

Still not enough to justify not wearing one.

Now, you could get around it by calling someone “a female person” - except that we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”.

I’m going to nitpick a touch. “Female person” includes girls. “Women” ecludes them.

I set up FreeIPA at home. Similar in principle to AD.

My first thought was “oh boy! Now I can exceed my data cap in seconds instead of minutes!”.

My dad told me stories about his school days, when he’s bring a rifle into the school, put it in his locker, then go shooting after school with his friends. This would have been in rural Canada in the 60s.
