This was a pretty good thread that was going on the old forum, and now that we're at a fresh start and there's been some bolstering towards new activity here, maybe an intro thread would be nice. We all get to know each other slowly though posting, but it always helps me to have a name and face to the posting, even if my memory is kind of terrible at this sort of thing.
This is sort of how I remember the old one being structured, and it was pretty good. Add anything you want to that you feel this is lacking.

For serious though - "I don't care" is the biggest example of cis privilege. Do you self-identify as male? Then you use male pronouns, none of this "well, whatever works" bullshit. Same goes for folks that self-identify as female. Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other folks don't care.
I don't know if that is fair. I don't think anybody said they don't care what other people want to be referred to as, just that they don't care how others refer to them. That seems legitimate to me. Pronouns are important to some people and not as big a deal to others. I understand that being referred to by the wrong pronoun can be very hurtful if you are trans and I think people can respect that and still not be as rigid about what they go by. Honestly, I think it is a good sign for the breaking down of the gender binary, and a sign that it is not some awful thing to be a woman when cis men aren't offendedd by being called "she"

This is an odd response to me for a few things. For one, he's 17. When I was 17 I'd have like no concept of this sort of stuff, and would also probably respond with "I don't care" in a place that I'm comfortable, where I'd say I use feminine in a place I'm more uncomfortable. And even now, I say that whatever pronouns are used at me is okay because making a big stink and fuss is not a place that I am at yet. And perhaps that's because I don't "pass," and also don't really want to, and I understand the misgendering risk of that except in exclusive corners. How come I didn't get a talking to about this, but you picked on this kid?
Also, "male" pronouns, what the hell is that? It's some basic linguistic shaping to say "masculine" and "feminine" when referring to gender, while saying "male" and "female" for biological sex. I know people trip it up a lot, but it seems weird to use it incorrectly while giving a kid some shit about gender stuff.
Anyhwo, sup Noah, I saw you at PIXfest like a million times and didn't say hey because I'm awkward. Seemed like you were having a good time.

mmhmm
Yeah, I'm not sure how insisting that cis people be rigid in their gender identity is helpful to anybody else, but what do i know. this intro thread sure is off-track.
Also, I just realized...it is pretty fucked up to just assume this person is cis when you don't know him at all

Age: Oh gosh, let me think... 25?
Gender/Pronouns: Most people use feminine ones, but whatever your first instinct is is fine. Just please don't call me "woman" or "ma'am" -- "girl" or "dude" are much preferred.
What You Do: I've been really enjoying seeing the doubletakes when I tell people I'm a housewife! My partner supports the two of us (and our two fattie ratties), while I make sure that our travel plans and house party plans run smooth. It's a lot of packing for trips, and then unpacking from them. I've got my eye on a social work degree in the next handful of years, though.
Favorite Music: A variety of things that end in -punk, though also I'm happy that electroswing has gotten so big, and I love surf rock unreasonably and unconditionally.
Likes: Going on road trips, my school bus/RV conversion Dread Naught, meeting people who are excited about things, fig season, goats.
Pet Peeves: When I'm eating with friends and I'm like, "Hey, you wanna try some of my thing?" and they're like, "No thanks," and that's the end of the conversation. I think it's a waste of an eating out experience if we're not all swapping plates and commenting on eachother's dishes!

Just ranted about this same pet peeve with my boss the other day. Ugh.
Oh man, this bugs me, too! It's not like there aren't interesting craft brews that aren't IPA's; and, no, you aren't cooler for liking to have your face blasted off with hops. augh
Whoa, let's not talk shit about IPAs now. There are plenty of IPAs that aren't aggressive.
I just think most pale ales and IPAs taste like cheap beer with a healthy dose of potpourri oil mixed in. There is like one from Stone that doesn't make me gag.
I'm glad I live on the west coast where most IPAs come from and people actually appreciate them.
I was gonna open up something else, but was forced to open this in protest instead.

Sure, there are bad IPAs since it's one of the easier/quickest styles to brew, but there are a ridiculous amount of amazing IPAs that use a huge variety of hops, so the flavor profiles are pretty endless. Noble has a running series of ______ Showers beers that each showcase a different hop, and Nelson Showers is better than pretty much any other beer that's been released this year.
Keep fighting the good fight, Brett.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get as aggressive as I did, but I'm often in situations when people say "I don't care" as a response to PGP and its mostly out of a privilege of not having to think about how you are referred to
How can you tell when it's because they haven't thought about it, or because they have thought about it and that's the conclusion they've come to?

What's up, Overcooked Pizza Rolls?
For serious though - "I don't care" is the biggest example of cis privilege. Do you self-identify as male? Then you use male pronouns, none of this "well, whatever works" bullshit. Same goes for folks that self-identify as female. Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other folks don't care.
I identify as non binary/genderqueer and i don't really care about pronouns, just none of that zee or zir shit please. He, Her, They...it just doesn't really matter to me personally.

welcome back Drew,
What's with that Fleury contract, man?
i guess let's save it for a Hockey thread.
Screw that. This is now a hockey thread. Fleury's contract, which definitely isnt a bad one, considering Crawford is getting 6 mil, because it has to be him. They don't have any exceptional goaltending prospects in their pipeline, the trading/free agent market is thin, and outside of his playoff collapses, has proven to be a solid goalie, provided he doesn't try to play the puck on his own. Pretty good signing, given their situation.
He may be a better goalie under the new coaching staffs system.. and I have faith that he might be, but based on his playoff performances he did not deserve a raise, and I would've liked them to at least see how he performed this season in the playoffs before committing to him for 4 more years..
he already this season tied his career best of 4 shutouts.. so.. there is some improvements under Johnston's system.
Shero/Bylsma really did a number on this team.

Fleury's contract, which definitely isnt a bad one
I knew after this point your argument was all downhill.
One of the biggest factors in contract negotiations these days is contracts of comparable players. You look at recent goalie signings; , Varlamov: 5 years, 5.9 per, Bishop: 2 years at 5.95 per, Lehtonen: 5 years at 5.9 per, Crawford: 6 years at 6 per. He's had similar statistical numbers to them with, give or take, plus averages more games per season than any of them. Then on top of that you factor in that Pittsburgh doesn't have any other solid options. Nobody's really looking to trade a goalie, there aren't any solid free agents now or coming up in the offseason. Then you factor in that in his previous ten seasons in the NHL, one shortened due to the lockout, one due to injury, he's had at least 30 wins four times, 40 wins two times, and has a Stanley Cup ring, and excluding the lockout shortened season and 2002-2008, hes played in at least 60 games since 2006. If you've got a logical reason why that's a bad contract, have at it.

He's had similar statistical numbers to them with, give or take, plus averages more games per season than any of them. Then on top of that you factor in that Pittsburgh doesn't have any other solid options. Nobody's really looking to trade a goalie, there aren't any solid free agents now or coming up in the offseason. Then you factor in that in his previous ten seasons in the NHL, one shortened due to the lockout, one due to injury, he's had at least 30 wins four times, 40 wins two times, and has a Stanley Cup ring, and excluding the lockout shortened season and 2002-2008, hes played in at least 60 games since 2006. If you've got a logical reason why that's a bad contract, have at it.

Name: Roger Dafremen
Username Meaning: When I was 12 - 15 I was really into Dune. My original online name back around 1981 (BBS's, DDial) was Roger The Fremen. I started signing things "Da Fremen." Soon it was dafremen. People started calling me daf and daffy and it's stuck ever since.
Location: Detroit
Age: I'm an immortal being currently residing in a wrinkled, gravity-battered meat puppet. (It's not as delicious as it sounds..even with slaw.) I'm hoping for a refurb come next lifetime.
Gender/Pronouns: male/he,hey!(you,dumbass,dipshit,dude,bro,daf etc.)
What You Do: I'm semi retired. That means after spending the adopted half of my childhood being plugged in and conditioned for "success", I stood up in the middle of my $42/hour engineering job at Caterpillar, saw nothing but a half mile of cubicles and fluorescent lights, recalled the movie Brazil and thought, "What the fuck am I doing here? I don't belong here." I gave my notice that day and told my wife. She left a couple of years after the money dried up. (The universe really had my back on that one.) Now I do odd jobs, write, grow weed and make music with a girl I love to death.
Favorite Music: I really hate this question. I grew up listening to early rap and speed/heavy metal, but prefer upbeat folk stuff these days. Here are some examples: https://youtu.be/o7Gpul2E3pE https://youtu.be/ES4JdPkWsJE
Likes: Words, words, words, Quake2, riding my 49cc bike, home brewing, growing..well anything, but mostly dope, fixing things on the cheap, inventing things out of junk, music, music, music and more music.
Pet Peeves: Being asked what my favorite song/band/music is. Manipulative people (Especially the people who get mad at you when you call them out on it. Mad at a brother because he didn't fall for your shit? Really? Note to self: WTF?!) On that note: People who smile while they exploit you and pretend like you're the asshole for calling them on their draining ways. Bullshitters. (When I say bullshitters, I distinguish them from tall tale tellers and people who are jut having fun with words. If there's no gain in it other than entertainment, then it's not really bullshit. It's theater.) Mean-spirited jokes. Overly dependent people. Ingrates. Judgmental people who don't know they're judgmental and the fact that I am one. The fact that I can't seem to stop talking. Even when I strained my chords. (They still haven't healed completely because it's so bad.)
