The fun part is the shit you can't talk about without disappearing.

Good times, good times.

Non-misandry/-sexism version:

A meme was made posing the humorous rhetoric of whether sex A would rather be stuck on an island with sex B or a bear. No distinction was made about the character of the sex B persona or the bear persona, it was left as a fill-in-the-blank for those who respond to rhetoric.

Sex B largely understood this to be stereotyping and hate speech directed towards them at large without any distinction about whom the rhetoric was implying. Audience was then divided between those who recognize equality and sexism versus those who believe either only apply to marginalized groups

with love, from an agender

he just don't care to be there with her basic ass

there is an additional layer to this joke for those who understand turing completeness. And it elevates it to a whole other level of snark.

• for the first week following launch, maybe

To bring gamers a night of more than 110 ads

I could equally be mistaken. I thought I recalled the console being built-in but I haven't bothered to check, as I hardly use it.

You don't even need to install anything extra afaik. Should just be able to use the Steam console, which is a neat little thing hidden into the client.

Yeah I got it completely wrong.

Yeah that one's on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.

..... the reading comprehension level of the average Lemmy user scares me

I literally said that I take the bus. And the shuttle.

Do people consider shuttles and buses the same thing? Because this sounds like a shuttle, which as far as I'm aware is completely different from a bus. I take a shuttle to the airport, which requires a reservation and ~$50 whereas I take a bus to get around town and it's typically free.

Essentially it sounds like they are trying to dip into the shuttle market, not the inner-city bus market. Though maybe both?

So Team Fortress 3

Works fine for me on first glance, with ETP set to strict. Perhaps due to the recent domain cut-over in the web stack?

If it wasn't obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here's what the Japanese Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

Yes. That takes SIGNIFICANTLY less time and energy than proper (or even improper) teaching.

Cis and trans are both the same type of descriptor. If trans can be used as a slur, so can cis.

Not saying either are slurs by default. But they most certainly can be turned into ones.

Correct-- humanism is equality. But some people don't want humanism, for whatever fucking reason.

You illustrated the point better than I had the energy to do-- I simply don't care enough to be that eloquent because the majority of what I get is nonsense in return. So instead of wasting my time, I chose to take the lazy route and encourage people to come to a consensus on this one key point so that the point you made would become irrefutable.

Neither trans nor cis are slurs by default, but anything can be a slur if used in a derogatory manner-- I think some comedian had a bit about this, but I can't recall who and I'm sure even if I did there's a good chance someone would give me a nasty label for saying such comedian made a good point....

But the same people that say trans can be a slur, cannot deny in good faith that cis cannot be a slur. They are both simple classifiers with no basis on prejudice. But some people will still argue they are slurs simply because they are used prominently in derogatory contexts.
