Yeah, I’d have been fine with “Brad” or “Biff”. As you say, either of those would have given an indication of the guy’s sense of privilege in life.
Basically, I don’t want to give incels any credit for the terminology they’re using to justify their bigotry and hatred. Especially when it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the situation, anyway. Let’s never use the names Chad or Stacy as pseudonyms again, until the incel movement has died off.
The only thing I can really add to this is that there is an actual human named Chad making my life very silly and moderately annoying today. So I’m pro-Chad namecalling in this moment.
You should ask the woman who coined the term “incel” what she thinks about that!
Wait, what woman? And how did she mean it?
Not as “blaming sluts for not being able to get laid” that’s for sure!
I had considered the former pseudonym but it was too similar to a coworker’s name. As for Biff… weren’t Biff and Tony the interchangeable fourth in the Hardy Boii group adventures?
In retrospect, Wonderbread would have been equally useful as a moniker, without the incel connotations.
Long and short of it is that his career at red store is toast.
But that gives the No-Sells too much power over my vernacular - unfuck them, they don’t matter.
The only person I give the ‘Voldemort’ treatment to is 45, and only then because I refuse to feed his egomania by saying or writing his name, unless absolutely necessary.
The most important detail!
I hear you. But I do think language changes over time so we’re always dropping some words or phrases and adding new ones.
I know a Chad. He’s awesome. In addition to this defense, his real name is Chandler. His dad was a cop.

Those who read my stuff will be aware that I learnt to use a lathe a few months ago, and I’ve been messing about with woodturning ever since.
Woodturning tools are divided into two categories: gouges and scrapers. Gouges look like this:
While scrapers look like this:
Scrapers are used as the name implies; the blade points with the direction that the wood is moving, and scrapes some off as it goes. Gouges use a cutting action instead; they point the blade into the oncoming wood.
You don’t need gouges, but they produce a much smoother surface after the cut. This means that, once the cutting is done, you spend five minutes sanding instead of an hour.
However, gouges are much trickier to use, and if you get it wrong they make a big bang and a mess. The margin between doing it right and destroying your work is very small. So, they tend to be a bit intimidating for novice woodturners.
Anyway: today I finally figured out how to use gouges properly. 
So, to celebrate, I took these two things:
And made this thing [1]:
…so now I’ve made my first woodturning tools, too.
It was a good day, and I don’t get to say that too often.

The university finally e-mailed our grades – I got 98% on the course!
(Next course in the certificate starts next week. And the stress begins anew.)
Go you!
On the other side, all of my student evals were pretty good - all 3 classes were over 4.5!
Well, we already knew that you’re awesome.
Meets the size restrictions, but that’s your daily limit. 
Is it still okay to ask boy or girl?
