In Spanish, "person" is "persona". It ends in -a, so it's feminine. This has nothing to do with the gender of the person in question. Every person is a persona. You don't call men "*persono", because that's not a word.
In Greek, boy (αγόρι) and girl (κορίτσι) are neuter because they end in -ι.
Keys don't change gender if I change language (las llaves (feminine), τα κλειδιά (neuter), the keys (N/A)), the only thing that changes is the word(s) used to refer to them.
saying grammatical gender is about the object itself and not just its word is like saying there's something different between the actions "πάω" and "πηγαίνω" JUST because they're in different verb genders (-άω vs -ω), despite the fact they're literally the same thing. They both mean "I go". No nuanced little differences between the two, they are literally the same.
The word for chair in Spanish (silla) is feminine because it just happened to go into that category. Nothing about the chair itself is feminine.
After all, it's Grammatical gender. Grammar applies to words, not objects.

music theorists how does this make you feel

i had to use microsoft access for a school project and it fucking sucks
it's so fucking unusable. THEY GIVE YOU AN UNDO BUTTON BUT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY UNDO ANYTHING
and the manual that comes with the cartridge doesn't even tell you how to access the backstage view! It's SELECT, if you were wondering.

while copying every photo file on this computer to a USB (im doing one folder at a time for my sanity), i noticed that this graph makes a sinusoidal wave. interesting!
maybe it's because this pc uses a HDD (a literal disc) for storage, so it has to rotate to get to the photos, and circles and sine waves are intrinsically connected?
pretty neat if it's true, but i have my doubts
Every so often I see a specific art style and I think "Wow I wish someone would make all the Pokemon in that exact art style" and sometimes there is/are someone who will! But for crocheting little amigurumi guys with beady dot eyes unfortunately it's mostly just me
