Maybe you're right. I don't know. I'm now thinking about someone going off on a racist tirade alone in the woods. I guess that's offensive.

But with your example, if you are offended by "listener" then offense exists. The greater community advisory corrective action could be "no action required, don't even say 'sorry' is you don't want to". What action is taken does not change the fact that I offended someone. There could be a social-sphere that actually comes down on the other side and says "we don't use that word here", I don't know. But I wouldn't feel right trying to argue about.

I want to be clear to anyone reading this, no I do not think there is or should be anything like a formal committee. Just the social-sphere you wish to inhabit.

Whether offense exists is more on the listener (or audience rather). Whether any action (a simple "sorry" or more severe) should be expected is the complicated part.

How is it recent? This is recorded. When you said "recent", did you make a little note take that word out it a month or so?

I don't know the word for phenomenon that anyone who achieves fame somehow has a shot in republican politics (Tuberville, Kari Lake, Mehmet Oz, the Obvious, etc.), but nepotism isn't it.

Maybe you're not pissed that Kushner was on the federal payroll, but if you are, calling everything "nepotism" is playing into the hands of people who are trying to keep your mind spongy.

Dude, fuck you. That's two things that I learn about Tuberville because you don't know what words mean.

Tuberville did not benefit from neopotism nor is he Ivy League.

He's a piece of shit apart from these buzzwords you're misusing.

Ivy league? Ivy League doesn't mean prestigious, and even if it did, it would not describe any of Tuberville's institutions.

I wouldn't say Folgers is worse than incest...

If the Folgers marketing team hired you to say that for a commercial, it wouldn't be their worst mistake.

No, it doesn't. Have you seen how a 6 year-old looks up to a much older sibling?

"You're my present." From a 6 year old, that's cute. From a 20 year old, that's sexual. From a 14 year old? I don't know what it is but it doesn't make me want coffee.

After viewing it, it seems like the writer envisioned a much younger actress.

... in response to “feedback from the filmmaking team that wanted the actor’s remarks to be centered on the movie.”

Fuck that. You had de Niro submit a speech because you want to broadcast his words. You tried to make him a puppet and have your words in his voice.

The only thing actions like this cause is that it makes people wonder how many times smaller voices simply just went with the puppet speech.

I can't believe they asked someone of talent to write a speech and think he'd just roll along with major changes in the voice.

After seeing an aerial view of an African wild dog hunt, a coyote hanging out by a bottleneck doesn't seem outlandish. (here)

Works for airports.

As it's not released, it's probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.

Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use

Everyone is going on about the lack of punctuation; I can't get over this snippet. It's like the ideal of an ego wrote this.

If you'd like to know my experience with Unity DE, I thought it felt like a toy and when it was packaged with Ubuntu, it was the first time I left vanilla Ubuntu since the days of Gutsy Gibbon.

I'm glad to hear Unity getting love. The customizability is by far linux's key strength. So it can give people what they want. For example, it gives me the ability to completely ignore Unity.

Do you remember when those monitors were top dollar? It looks like Michael Scott's TV now.

Day 25 of our one year mission at this inhospitable outpost: If that Swedish guy says "Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær" one more time, I'm going to kill him.

I don't really drink, but I definitely go beer shopping in summer. I don't know how common they are but around the US, you can find places with Beer Caves. A huge walk-in fridge with cases of beer. It's heaven.

I haven't been following the news. Is that Lauren Boebert?

I thought we were being invited to a commune.
