Wicked Game In My Ass

Yes. That’s the very definition of a protection racket.

I think I know where he got his name now

Same here. It’s easily the nicest looking single object in my office, still enjoy the look of it after 3 years.

Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

I’m not familiar with this interface, but it looks to me like it is saying Google was doing the tracking. Could this be tracking attempts made from a web view opened while using Sync, and not the actual Sync app itself? I want so badly to believe they are more privacy conscious than that. Love the app, been using it since it first came out for Reddit. Solo dev IIRC.

I mean, having one in ten of your fellow soldiers murdered by their own commander is pretty horrific, and I think that’s the spirit of its modern usage.

Don’t fall into their trap. It is important to point out that it isn’t antisemitic either way, because your assertion had absolutely nothing to do with her religious or ethnic background.

Yeah, well, this has been fun! Let’s do it again some time.

You’re honestly right and I regret the joke and lowering the level of discourse with it. Sorry everyone.

But isten, you’ve been heavily down voted in this thread, and it’s not because we are all sycophantic anti-woke nut jobs. This community is for the most part intelligent, leftist or left-leaning, empathetic people who support the rights of all kinds to exist and be recognized and treated fairly. But many would agree there is a reasonable degree to which you can meet people halfway when it comes to communication and understanding.

Whether you like it or not, “guys” in the agendered sense, is a part of the language. It may not always have been, but it is now. When people use it in this way, they aren’t thinking about your gender or the concept of gender at all. They are trying to address a collection of people, simple as that. English doesn’t have a plural second-person pronoun, we have to use additional words.

When you get offended, you are deliberately misunderstanding them, and thus engaging in a bad-faith argument against their intended meaning. And it’s that audacity, the sidelining of pithy conversation for an imagined affront, that rubs some otherwise supportive and open minded people like myself the wrong way.

How does a snowflake screw in a lightbulb? They hold the bulb, and the whole world revolves around them.

Understanding is a meeting in the middle. It’s reasonable to correct the record on how you as an individual would like to be gendered. It’s not reasonable to expect all of society to drop the use of a word that is colloquially accepted as gender neutral. At a certain point, your outrage is the antisocial behavior.

I’m not making an argument for the technology or the veracity of the claims, I was literally just pointing out the misunderstanding.

3% false negatives, not false positives.

Why would you automatically doubt this? You are aware there are other places outside where you live, and different things happen there, right?

My partner and I once went as Leon and Matilda for Halloween. I finished off a quart of milk and filled it with pre-mixed negroni cocktai to sneak it into a party as part of my costume. Boy howdy, I was so drunk I was speaking in tongues at the end of the night.

Lol, Edith and Mildred are literally my grandmothers’ names. Edith is a badass and just turned 99.

I’m actually surprised at how little they spend on lobbying, even with the recent uptick. It must be the other thing, you know, our representatives are shareholders.
