Yup, xkcd #198 to be exact. “Perspective” is the name of the comic, and the text underneath is the title text.

I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.

Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!

I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.

I used to do social media for a small theatre company. I would have adored this rather than constantly fighting with the atrocity that is Meta Business Suite.

Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

Singular “they” actually predates singular “you”.

0, badass is not something I’ve ever felt, nor particularly strived for.

I’m more of a goodie-two-shoes people pleaser type.

Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.
