    “1v1 me in Warzone and maybe I’ll consider it.”
    “But Warzone is a battle royale! Theres hundreds of players on the map, what are the chances I even run into you?”
    “About as high as me listening to you tap about pokeemans, nerd.”

    The joke is deliberately horrible, but if you’ve ever been infodumped by a kid with pressured speech who can’t organise their thoughts and you have auditory processing issues it’s also horribly relatable, a bit.

      Oh my gosh you’ve just put words to the speech affliction I’ve suffered with for decades. Pressured speech, can’t organize thoughts, also speaking in stream of consciousness.

            Maybe? I didn’t mean any offense, buddies are any gender for me and anyone can be like my kid, who happens to be a lad. At least until I’m notified to the contrary…

              People are allowed to be particular about pronouns. I just tagged that account she/her, it’s not a hill unless we make it one. Helps if they do that themselves, but I can hardly criticise.

                Not so much a criticism as trying to point out that you weren’t being malicious in your comment.

              I know it sounds weird for me to complain every time someone assumes I’m a man, but if you’re a man, how would you feel if everyone on the internet automatically assumed you’re a woman? Calling you she & her & ma’am & sweetheart & lady. That would feel pretty weird, wouldn’t it?

              That’s how I feel when people call me dude, bro, bud, lad, etc 🤷🏼‍♀️

                I’m a woman to start.

                Your username gives no indication that you’re a woman and this site is overwhelmingly male. I’m never surprised when someone guesses I’m a man when we’re conversing initially. It’s not like the greatest thing in the world, but most people here are not misgendering me on purpose.

                He didn’t call you a “lad”, he said you might have ADHD like his lad aka his son.

                Bud feels like a pretty gender neutral term compared to dude, man, brother, etc.

                  I didn’t think either of us were particularly bent out of shape about it, pretty minor misunderstanding. I feel like we can all walk away friends unless we try to litigate this? I dunno

        Omg, i once listened to my kid talk for about 3 hours on that a few years back. It broke my heart that his computer could barely run it. Now he has the computer to end all computers.
