From:

Can't find anywhere in the linked article where "Google Translate takes a stand against singular 'they'". All it says is "we're already thinking about how to address non-binary gender in translations, though it’s not part of this initial launch," which even if it's dishonest or insincere doesn't "take a stand" against it.

Can't find any "Nihilist Dad Jokes" at that link either. All there are is ordinary Dad jokes, followed by superfluous nihilist remarks.

The Brexit analogy thread is brilliant, the more so as it's followed by objections from a guy who so totally just does not get it.

Very cool, if true
