Neo-Nazis Gloat as Florida Becomes a Magnet for Hate
  • One of the reasons I love that I'm in Germany rn. You don't get people casually joking about Nazis then laughing it off like it's nothing. It is literally against the law, and people treat that topic with actual respect.

  • Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests
  • And the volunteer community of content transcribers allied with the blind community, who's goal was to ultimately draw attention to the issue to improve accessibility on the reddit app. Go figure.

  • I’ll fight anyone who shits on Gen Z
  • The term has been removed from most recent medical literature, because the use of it has been inseparably tied with mental disability. You can't exactly justify calling a black man the n-word because he is a criminal, no?

    Trying to find situations where it's "okay" to use slurs as insults is creating a loophole based on opinion that will broaden with time, implying that there are individuals who "deserve" to be called slurs and those who don't. It's creating a divide that can be easily exploited. It's best just to find another word.

    The only appropriate use I know of is when talking about flame retardants. The word inherently means "to slow down/reduce", so using it to describe people inherently classifies them as "slow", another common insult term for mentally disabled people. Using it towards fire is a direct use of its wording and doesn't have the same risks.

    Basically, the damage is done and the association is there, and it can't really be removed simply because the slur is used "accurately", you know? It carries the harmful context with it.

  • The EU has finally won this one!
  • Yeah, I recently made the switch from apple to Android after my second apple device in a row had a major internal hardware malfunction out of nowhere and the people at the store just went "yeah no I can't fix this sorry, you need a new phone", so I'm still figuring out the complex world of not apple. I didn't even realize you had to clean the ports, but I guess it would make sense. I recently found out my android and my computer use the same port (usb-c) and I got really excited so that's the level of "tech savvy" I'm on haha

  • The EU has finally won this one!
  • Okay, so getting information and energy to and from the phone (what a cable does), how long it lasts, how many different types of cables you'd have to buy to work with similar devices you have, length and price are self explanatory, and whether or not apple is being apple.

    I think I got it, thank you!
