Yes, but you might not like it. You would have to unlearn it. Only way I know of doing so is to not game for some time, then retrain yourself.

Yes to a certain degree. Better tools are needed for some things. However it is also accurate to say that social problems cannot be solved by technological solutions.

Until they make it illegal, of course.

Then we riot.

Very telling the guardian left out anything about lgbtq+ folks in this.

Ugh.

Okay then… Thorium Molten Salt reactors or other nuclear fusion OR fision is better than coal.

Build them instead if you’re truly decicated to being a fascist (talking to trump) about this.

That’s wonderful, thank you. I will watch when I am able.

The problem with this I have found is for me at least it only goes one way in that it is usually me that is expected to show good faith and understanding and not the other way around. In the face of such hostility, ridicule and scorn this can be difficult to maintain when ‘the other side’ is not showing the same kindness.

As can be seen, I did go out of my way to explain and answer questions but was met by increasing levels of disbelief etc and all of their answers were usually nothing I hadn’t heard or seen before in similar situations.

Sure. Your point is well made and I get that, however no one in that thread seemed to be making that argument, just that they should be able to use it regardless because they genuinely believed that langauge is free to be used regardless of what the originators of a language have to say, especially if they have been and still are oppressed.

And one or two egregious examples said that it was ‘just’ slang that was part of Gen Z/Internet culture despite it genuinely having been stolen from black folks, the meanings changed and then gatekept from black people, especially through ridicule.

The other thing is that folks often get confused between AAE and Southern English because in a lot of ways they do sound similar and have had genuine cultural exchange. However, they are not exactly the same.

It also made me very uncomfortable that the one actual black person in the thread was ignored when they said that it was a problem and that they have to live it. Food for thought.

I do appreciate you taking the time to talk to me in an actually decent way and would love to continue this if you would also like to.

We understand that (the saving money). However, personally we think mutual aid is better than charity as it’s more likely to get into the hands of those that need it. Charity tends to have a lot of overhead and doesn’t always get money into the hands of those that need it. Glad you are great.

Glad you have accepted it. Hope you are doing well.

Think what you will.

I’m an anarchist so inherently against governments etc. So I would, I don’t comply with cops of my own free will.

Having something taken from me against my will is not complying.

Probably for the best. Clouds in general are not private, especially not those from US tech giants.

We aren’t human. But okay, we will.

It doesn’t seem to be sadly as people are still arguing the point that it wasn’t and ignoring that actual black people weighed in too.

If Beehaw is dedicated to keeping that kind of person around I think I’ll leave as I’d rather not be around people so dedicated to upholding such things.

Okay. But what will they then actually do to materially and politically support us? Words are meaningless if they aren’t followed through with actions.

Will they tell homophobes/transphobes etc to get lost? Will they educate others? Will they actually back and support programs etc for us to get and keep more rights at work, in the countries we live in etc? Will they give us money? Will they stand by us in actual protests etc?

We need co-conspirators, not just folks that say pretty and kind words and then do nothing beyond that.

I hope someone casts Power Word Kill on him.
