Learning how to defend tran's Rules

I'm indicating possession . The apostrophe belongs there.

Someone named Tran? If so, disregard the following:
I assumed you were talking about “the rights of trans folks”, which is usually “trans rights”. In that case, “trans” is an adjective. Like “human” in “human rights”.
If you did want it to be possessive for trans folks, similar to if you said “humans’ rights”, you’d say “trans folks’ rights”.
Because while “human” can be an adjective or a noun, “trans” is only an adjective. So you can call someone “a human”, but not “a trans”.

To.me it sounds archiac, like "the Google"
mycelium_underground 14 points a year ago
No it doesn't. Since Trans ends in an s, the correct way to show possession is Trans'
Canadian_Cabinet 17 points a year ago
While you normally would be correct, transgender is a adjective, while rights is the noun, so no apostrophe required at all

This made me actually laugh out loud.

It's not a "trend." It's a small subset of the population that can VERY EASILY be blocked.
isVeryLoud 12 points a year ago
Eh, as someone with hyperlexia, it's just a bit frustrating trying to read non-standard English. It sometimes takes me a while to figure out what the user actually meant when using the wrong written form of a homophone.
I think it's partially because I don't really hear speech in my head, so the jump from "it's" to "its", for example, is not obvious to me unless I slowly read it out loud.
I know English is a silly language with even sillier rules, but my brain expects it to be written out a certain way and stops parsing if that doesn't happen.
I've definitely blocked at least one person who had extremely poor English on here before, but not out of spite, simply because they brought me no value beyond just wasting my reading time until my brain eventually goes "I can't read this 🙃" and gets frustrated. IIRC they were writing in very abbreviated English with a ton of typos and homophone mistakes.

Is this Smorty slander?
i_dont_want_to 3 points a year ago
Yeah, sometimes I just have to let my eyes glaze over something if it's written incoherently. It's nothing personal, my brain just cannot parse it.
morphballganon -2 points a year ago
If a person's post isn't good enough to proofread, it isn't good enough to read.
And if they proofread it and don't catch the error, they're either a bot or a moron, and I'm better off seeing neither.
kibiz0r 1 point a year ago
It’s definitely more than it was 10 years ago. Even so, I don’t wanna block people. I just want them to know more about the stuff they use every day. Everyone deserves to have the ability to convey their ideas effectively.
infinitesunrise -12 points a year ago
My rule is contractions only. I don't even use use it for possession (eg Jake's car) because you can always pick that up just fine from context (Jakes car).
edit: Everybody hated that 🤷

If the name ends in an S, you leave a floating apostrophe.
James'
If the name does not end with an S, you place an S after an apostrophe.
Carl's
The only time an S without an apostrophe is valid is when indicating plural. If the noun ends with an S, you do not have to change anything.

nice grouping! this chart always helps me self-correct. I tend to over anticipate the recoil landing some of my shots in the upper left or upper right quadrant(s). just means more practice, which is the fun part

I think? Second time firing and I always get confused when i test so I realy cant tell
conditional_soup 9 points a year ago
Looking good! Try practicing dry firing and see if you can catch where you're canting downward. I'd bet you're squeezing down with your ring and pinky finger on your trigger hand. I also want to suggest that most common body armor can defeat handgun rounds. The wearer isn't going to be happy about it, mind you, but it probably won't mean shit if your bad guy has invested in some plates. Have you perhaps considered a shotgun with double ought or triple ought buck? There's several meaningful advantages over a handgun to think about there.
ITGuyLevi 7 points a year ago
Great work and keep at it, shooting can be a really fun way to relax and clear your head!
Some unsolicited advice though (if you want it). If you have a rod for cleaning your barrel, an old trick from basic was to get into a prone position with the rifle unloaded and insert the rod into the end of the barrel. Practice balancing a small coin on the rod while you aim and dry fire. Focus on pulling the trigger with the pad of your finger and pulling solidly enough to fire, but controlled enough to not shift the end of your barrel. It really helps with your left-right spread.
Phoenicianpirate 4 points a year ago
For handguns one trick is also to put a spent case near the sight (provided the pistol is wide enough to allow it) and practice pulling the trigger while also not disturbing it.

Sadly, it's necessary. Lots of people are coming after the LGBTQ+ community. If someone ever tries to kill/hurt someone in the community, the community must be prepared.
conditional_soup 4 points a year ago
I've always been a big fan of the LP's porcupine. Sends a very clear message of "Don't fucking touch me". They even had some rad as fuck rainbow porcupine shirts back before they gave up pretending they were just a shelter for embarrassed Republicans. I'd love to see it get taken from them, and I think it works because I think most folks associate the no step snek with the libertarians far more than the porcupine.
Edit: The honey badger or wolverine, maybe?
yetAnotherUser 10 points a year ago
They might not know. But it might be too late to convince them otherwise, specially when they already in the attack. Unfortunately, we can't fix everyone's idea on the LGBTQ+ community.
Just one more thing. Just because OP is training to use a gun, and others practice other ways of self defense, it doesn't mean they want to use violence. But it's better to learn to do something, than to not know how to do it when you need to the most.

That's only useful when attacking Mexicans from above.
jsomae 2 points a year ago
Can you please explain this? Is there some particular Mexican war in which someone was famously attacked from above with moderate accuracy? This just looks like racist trolling to me but I could be ignorant.
AnUnusualRelic 3 points a year ago
That would have been a very bizarre comment. I thought you were annoyed at my association of sombreros with Mexican people.

**Moderator Guidelines**
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
