Well if you want to keep a similar motif, Cap’n is vaguely formal, vaguely military esque, and it’s gender neutral. Could be seafaring or land based.
You probably won’t find anything with the same level of formality as sir/ma’am, so you’re going to have to compromise a little bit on that front, but I think people will like the attempt regardless!
Ok so reading the comments, from Appalachia, and I didn’t see it about anyone specific.
So the reason why nothing seems correct is because nothing new will have the same level of cultural history. If you’re trying to show social deference to people things like “friend” or “pal” won’t work, and “chief” sounds too informal.
You can still use “sir” and “ma’am” under most circumstances, so the question is more about your circumstances.
Are you trying to find something that replaces those honorifics all together, or do you want a backup third option in case someone says they are non binary?
Are you still in the same culture, or have you moved to a culture that doesn’t emphasize honorifics like you were raised with?
Didn’t be a pendant, and don’t laugh after being a pendant. It’s condescending and rude.
You can just do that ya know. Just be a wizard. Tell people to address you as such. Don’t even have to be trans you can change your name and everything
Screw heads
When I say things will get better, I’m hoping that’s for the people of America and the world, not the US government having soft power. I personally don’t want the US to be a super power anymore.
Idk we’re back sliding a lot right now. Overturning row v and well, the rest of what is going on. I just hope we can move forward sometime and soon
Dude literally could’ve make intimate resources and distribute them eliminating even that problem and still fucked it up
MLK jr and the civil rights movement are just as much a part of America as Jim Crow and slavery. ICE is America but so is every protester fighting it. Lincoln is America. The KKK is America. Trump is America. Luigi is America.
The thing about people is we like to make things simple and put things in a box, and not have exceptions. But that’s almost never true, and the US is a land of contradictions. We’re very good people, and we’re very bad people.
So yeah, it’s going down the drain, but it’s always been going down the drain. It’s also going to get better, and it always has, little by little. Hopefully we can weather this storm and rebuild.
His motivation in the movies was even dumber than the one in the comics. Seriously have you not understood people can breed? Also with the gems you could make more resources like, forever.
Doesn’t body dysmorphia exist outside of society though? I don’t know if there’s been any anthropological study done, but I would assume that it would exist and be traumatizing regardless of the society you were in.
Conservatives don’t care about facts. They have the idea that there’s a higher truth, and facts are supposed to support it, not the other way around, where facts define what’s true. So if their talking heads say “climate change isn’t real”, they think it’s the truth and any facts that get in the way are inconsequential.
Proper distribution of resources
As I understand it, being trans even in the most accepting environment is an uncomfortable experience at best. Even traumatizing.
I’d love to see a world where being trans is as normalized and accepted as eye color.
Oh dope thank you
Can someone explain this to me like I’m an art major and didn’t get into tech?
Trick r’ Treat, every year around Halloween, even before spirit made a bunch of merch for it
Probably my Kingdom of Loathing account, my emails from before then died
I still don’t understand how to navigate the ins and outs of Lemmy and I’ve been here since RIF was killed
There’s like, 20 or more honorifics in Japanese. I think that -sama is more culturally equivalent for the Appalachian sir/ma’am, but those honorifics, iirc, usually have to go with a name or a job or something, while the Appalachian sir/ma’am can be used with strangers.
