  • There are other better choices than No-More-Shame.

    LGBTQ Honor / Dignity / Glory (on second thought, this one may conjure images of bathroom stalls, so maybe not this one)

  • Just to clarify, I'm not asking about the implication of "white pride", just the semantics of pride in general.

    It reminds me of "Black Lives Matter" - of course they do, but too many people heard "only black lives matter", when what they're trying to say is "black lives matter too".

    These twits responded with "All Lives Matter", which, of course, is also true, but the implication is the discreditation of the suffering of black people.

    I think a lot of these issues, unfortunately, are a failure of the Left. There are so many slogans which are either poorly thought out, or intentionally inflammatory. For example, "defund the police", "all cops are bastards", "math is racist".

    We can't expect the Right to read between the lines, it's up to the Left to use better language so we don't give them more ammo.

  • My Mom told me I couldn't have a second helping of ice cream, she's LITERALLY Hitler!

  • So, Elon dislikes that white people can't be proud of being white.

    Why would a person of any race be proud of their race? Shouldn't people be proud of their own accomplishments, and those of the people they've helped?

    I never really understood the rationale here. I support Pride Month for example, but I think the language is kind of wrong.

    Shouldn't people be proud, despite traits which have historically been denigrated?

    This is a serious question BTW.

  • I don't think it will happen. Enshittification has a predictable life cycle. Valve has had years of opportunity to sell out, but haven't.

  • Just to piggyback off this for the uninitiated:

    If the Earth is round, then that means Earth is just like any other planet; one in a trillion.

    Flat Earthers are convinced "space" is an illusion, all the celestial bodies are there to trick us into feeling insignificant.

    If the Earth is flat, then we are special.

    Truth is: we aren't, not in any cosmic sense.

  • I also have a cat.

    I am her legal custodian, she isn't property.

  • My favourite kind of carnists are the ones who say "Because you eat none, I'm going to eat two hamburgers!"

    Uh, okay. Is that supposed to spite me? Enjoy your heart attack, dickhead.

  • Bit of a fucked up situation when conscious beings are considered property though.

  • I don't know whether this is a joke about them having to repeat grades multiple times, or whether its about teenage mothers. I'm here for it either way.

  • Getting Arch set up from scratch is a great learning experience. I recommend everyone to at least try to install it once properly, you'll definitely come away with a better understanding of the system.

  • "I use Manjaro BTW"

    ("I use Manjaro, please don't bully me or ask me to use the terminal. Also, why hasn't Manjaro renewed their SSL certificate?")

  • Manjaro users don't have the superiority complex required to be this prude.

  • Your sarcasm was so advanced that it flew over my head.

  • Just to clarify, being antifascist necessitates being against fascism of all kinds, not just the ones who are your enemy.

    Not to imply that the IDF are being fascist, but genocide is a likely outcome, whether ideologically intentional or incidental.

    At the end of the day, this is a language game. Personally, I don't care for the semantics of it all. I'm honestly quite anti-semantic.

  • I'm implying this is actually the end goal of Zionists.

  • /s?

    I'm not entirely convinced this is sarcasm.

  • A lot of what I said applies directly to Australia's economy (which I'm sure I don't need to tell you is absolutely fucked).

    I salute you. Physical currency is better for businesses and the individual. Paying "convenience fees" (for what should be a public service), should be a crime.

    In a parallel reality, I'm paying interest on water which evaporated.
