Hello Guys,
I have created a tumblr. I have created a tumblr blog first time. I want to add left or right Sidebar Widgets in my tumblr blog. Please let me know how can i add? Here is link of my tumblr blog Trailerweb : Upcoming Movies and Tv Episode Trailers and here is my tumblr code http://trailerweb.tumblr.com/ - Pastebin.com
Hope you guys will help me.
BTW, have flash and java set in your browser to only execute on demand, or disable them altogether.
This is not new, but I have been told that lately there has been an increase in this type of attack form, in which someone, or bots, post the link to a infected webpage disguised as a request for support or help. If you are easily distracted or click-happy, you might click these links by accident. Besides there's been a tremendous increase in the number of 0-day exploits on Java and Flash, so very likely none of your other security measures will warn you against a possible attack.

Hello fagers91, what are your preferred pronouns?Originally Posted by fagers91
Lol is this supposed to be a shot about the whole "zer" pronoun thing? XD
Because I think those are dumb. The singular "they" is the way to go, imo. It doesn't sound completely absurd. English was not meant for the letter "z"!
Just speak and write in a language that does not have and never had gender pronouns (or grammatical gender at all), like Finnish. Problem solved.
It's actually very common in everyday Finnish speech to use "it" ("se") for everything from people to animals to inanimate objects. It can be really funny, too; like when someone is telling about how they neutered their pet dog, and someone else comes by midway through and thinks they're talking about their kid (hunam child) instead.
The American in me rejects that premise!Just speak and write in a language that does not have and never had gender pronouns (or grammatical gender at all), like Finnish. Problem solved.
Though it does make logical sense so the programmer in me accepts that premise...
Hmm... Quite the inner turmoil XD
Fair enough. Speak a romance language. They have singular and plural gender specific pronouns, with the added advantage that there are no neutral gender nouns in the vocabulary. This solves any speaking problems, and as a programmer you are given a language that offers less ambiguity.
The disadvantage is that everything has a gender. You need to know what is the gender of a chair, a car, or a sparrow. Verbs can adopt different forms depending on the pronoun and adjectives also have different forms according to the gender of the word they are acting on. It's lot of fun. It's like C/C++ precise semantics with none of the terseness. Or like COBOL huge number of reserved words, with none of the easy of use.

You would have us remove the feminine from our pronouns? Patriarchy at work.
Quite the opposite, my valued planetary cohabitant! I suggested a different language precisely to avoid having to remove or avoid existing words -- such confrontational actions usually provoking wasteful discourse deflecting from the original topic.
I love language. You never know what the other person actually means by what they say or write. Programming is much more precise: there you can claim your errors are bugs in the code, instead.
But if this other language does not encourage use of gendered pronouns, it's regressive. For a language to be progressive it must encourage use of transnormative genderfluid pronouns. Check xyr privilege.
Reminds me of circles.
And the one time when the local squirrels stole most of my doughnuts. They were cooling on the balcony, prior to sugar-coating. (The doughnuts, not the squirrels; it was spring, after all, and the squirrels were quite cool already. And I don't think it's legal to sugar-coat squirrels, anyway.) The squirrels loved the storeability of their loot; we kept seeing the deep-fried dough circles hanging off branchlets up to a year afterwards. Darn cute thieves, though, especially when rotating the doughnuts in their teensy little paws with their scythe-like claws. Like furry little Wolverines with bushy tails.
Sounds like the Gang of thieves brought you an Interesting Time.
But gender is a made-up social construct, and has no place in modern society. Therefore any language with gendered pronouns is regressive.

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
To be honest, I don't think I'm qualified to continue this discussion.
Although I've studied English and Swedish for years (both having gendered pronouns, and Swedish even grammatical gender), a couple of years of German, and even a few years Sami (which has dual pronouns in addition to singular and plural pronouns), I've never really grokked any of the gender stuff. I never get the grammatical gender even remotely right in Swedish and German. I either remember, or just guess.
I'm not painting myself as a forerunner of gender equality here; I'm pretty sure I'm quite sexist. (Mainly because I feel I am not at all.) I just literally mean I've never understood grammatical gender and gendered pronouns at all.
And that means I find the discussion about tweaking pronouns, or "banning" words because they are "bad", and so on, absolutely frigging hilarious. To me, the entire discussion feels like everyone is joking, because it's so far out of my ken; I know the scopes and definitions of the words they are using, but the sentences put together just do not make any sense to me.
