@marinwaves I don’t read the “my” in “this my wife/child/dog” in the sense of ownership. It’s in the sense of affiliation: “this is my jam”, “in my hometown” — neither claims ownership of a song, or town.
The tweet you’re responding to argues against a narrow denotation and ignores context.

Wait, is that how people read this in those sentences? I read them like "he is my son (he came out of my DNA)"

A serious misconception that is usually replaced when learning TCS philosophy is that the "have" in "I have a son", and the "my" in "my son is 2", mean ownership. But people, children included, don't have owners. No one owns another person - to own someone is to be a slave master

@turtlefur I like your products and prefer to purchase direct from manufacturers vs giving Amazon their cut, but honestly, TEN emails is excessive.
Five of these are marketing follow-up.
My 2 items came in a single mailed package; why send 2 shipping emails?

Ok maybe I don’t need a new HDMI cable because @BlueJeansCable has an article bluejeanscable.com/articles/bad-r… saying “Hey dummy you probably don’t need this”, BUT they fail to say “It’s dumb to make a vanity purchase of an HDMI cable just because we use @BeldenInc” so maybe it’s okay

@vailmtn Please renew your domain email.vailresortsnotifications.com - transactional emails that you’re sending contain links to that domain, which is not available.

.@Codecademy When I go to sign up and use GitHub as an oauth provider, why do you request such a large scope: to read and write all of my repositories?!
That’s INSANE!!1!!11
Signing in with Google has a much more sensible scope: know my name, email address, and profile picture.

The new 2024 Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook doesn’t include a humorous italicized Disclaimer on the copyright page. Legacy #dnd5e had just an extra touch of humor, pity it’s missing now.

@svetlania are you working on a fifth book? My kids love “Brave”, “Crush”, “Awkward”, and “Enemies”

@raakhus @UjuAnya @heymrsbond I’ve never thought about why I think education is intrinsically valuable but this nailed it perfectly for me.
Great find.

Finished “Even Though I Knew The End” by @clpolk today - what a great ride that was, a perfect story. Can’t wait to read more!
