    I think sneakypersimmon nailed it by inquiring into your definition of raging feminism in y’all’s comment chain. I argue that some consider “raging” to be closer to mindless lashing than unyielding positive movement. Under the former interpretation, the dial is ironic, since of course you can be a productive feminist without, for example, mindlesslly lecturing dinner guests about evil chairs. (I ask the reader to hold their objection about a productive discussion about the topic in emphasis of a mindless interpretation of “raging”.) Under the latter interpretation, the dial speaks a good truth. I don’t have a conclusive comment for the teacher’s thoughts, though.


  • It sounds like you’ve been burned by a poor PC experience. Your problems are legitimate though they should be rare, which is why your sweeping characterization of the PC experience is being downvoted.

    I am much more interested in your mobile workflow! What apps do you use? Do you use workarounds for something PC users wouldn’t think about? Do you use accessories like a keyboard/mouse/monitor?













  • Texas resident and never hear this.

    “Y’all” means “you all”, yes, but both small plural (2 people) or large plural (2,000,000,000 people). I’ve never heard a musician go on stage and say “How are all y’all doing tonight?”. They just say “How are y’all doing tonight?”

    “All y’all” really means “each of you”. For example, if I’m running a bar and a family of parents and late teenagers enter, I would ask “are all y’all 18 21 or older?” Same if there are like 50 folks.

    I cannot imagine a situation where I would say “all y’all” without it meaning to emphasize each and every one.
