Is it no longer moderated ? I just saw an article with headline “Teens with mixed feelings about their phones say parents need to log off” abd it had been upvoted 200 or more like what in the absolute fuck ? Is this the gossip sub where every one can post gossips that contain any word resembling technology ?

    “my guy” is a popular gender-neutral set phrase that’s widely used to show exasperation or disbelief. Clapping back with a diminutive adjective almost exclusively for women just makes you sound sexist. This isn’t everyone getting offended, it’s just you being odd.

        Not “guy” but “my guy”. See also: “you guys” and “dude!” Spanish also has “güey”. Colloquial phrases are weird and I don’t make the rules.
