You had a boss worthy of trust. If only they all were.

Yeah, but the person is speaking to you using their vocabulary that they use day-to-day. Sure, they could pick whatever other words they want to, but doing so would fall outside of their usual vocabulary and, therefore, takes more effort than just “replace the part of this word I normally use that’s blocked by censor”. You can tie yourself into knots trying to avoid censored words and also this new requirement of only using a word by using that word.

The point, as I see it, of “don’t use the word if you’re not going to use the word” is “don’t inconvenience me with your language, inconvenience yourself in order to not inconvenience me.” Sounds like a path to everyone second guessing everything they say in order to accommodate whatever desire other people wish to interject on your choice of words. Which, doesn’t sound very live más to me. Very un-taco bell of you (I have no idea what happened in that last part of my statement)

Edit: easiest way to say it: you clearly knew what word they meant so why are you making a stink about it not matching exactly to that word?

I mean, I understand what you’re saying and it is true here on lemmy, but it is absolutely not the case that you don’t have to self-censor on the internet. I mean, you can choose to not to, but some systems will just never show your contribution to the conversation to anyone (ex. tiktok, Facebook, YouTube, etc). So people practice self-censorship to engage with those platforms and then it becomes a part of their online vocabulary.

So, you don’t need to self-censor here on lemmy, but you also shouldn’t give anyone flak for doing so.

Umm, ffs, if I used that right.

Sorry, don’t give this any attention. It’s a scam and everyone knows it.

Counterpoint, autocorrect

Hey! Fuck off and just let people live their lives. Is that really that hard?

No, fire hose of misinformation is worse. $100m buys a few races, maybe. Fire hose breaks down an entire societies’ trust in reality.

If the option is 5 people dying every day or 10 people dying every day, yes harm reduction says we should limit the amount of people dying every day. That way we have more time to save the people.

I’m not a fucking lib, I’m a leftist, and I’m telling you that Trump is worse than the status quo. He only really started to fuck shit up towards the end of his presidency and that was because he only just realized he could change the rules and get rid of the bureaucracy that actually keeps our government limping along. Next time he, or anyone with an R next to their name, takes office they’re going to destroy anything of value left in our government so they can hoard the ashes. This will continue to be the reality of the situation until being a fascist is no longer politically viable.

Yes, it’s a hostage situation. Yes, it’s royally fucked, but the last 4 years has seen an incredible shift in both public support of good policy and politicians promoting good policy. There is a light, there is good coming of all this shit, it just requires your support for the good that’s happening, and your disdain to be pointed at the bad. Don’t point your disdain at the “not good enough” and shrug at the unbelievable bad. That’s how things get worse.

Yeah, money is politics is bad. Also, foreign governments interfering in our elections is bad. You discovered the principle of more than one thing can be bad at once.

Yes, his goal is to break down every negotiation until Gaza is gone his political situation improves. He can’t end the war until he’s secured his political future. Cause what else is a populist fascist to do?

Cool, so now you see that voting for Harris is a nod to either the same hand-wringing action that we’re seeing now. In fact, the hand-wringing is doing a little bit better than nothing right now (not by much, admittedly). Trump’s guy just said he wants the genocide to go faster. Now, I want you to apply the principles of harm reduction to this scenario. Which option is harm reduction?

A local ordinance that increases rights is not the same as local ordinances that attempts to do the opposite. That’s why this is different, lord have mercy

Oh look! Something we can make people feel embarrassed/insecure about. Let’s exploit that weakness for profit! /s

Man, fuck capitalism so hard

Well, before I edited it it read morbious, so I’m saying good enough

I know that this means that facts can be mapped onto a mobius* strip. Why or how, I don’t know. But I do know that.

Yes, and they have an ICJ trial for that. Not every news event is Israel related.

Definitely. I won’t defend racist caricatures, but this is not one.

He’s sleeping in Jerry’s bed. He’s meant to look like Jerry. It’s not an Asian caricature.

Disney+ case, that’s misinformation. Not saying it was a smart move on Disney’s part, terrible PR and it was only to save some money, but the argument wasn’t that. Disney was being roped in due to info on their website, they don’t run the restaurant, and the website would fall under the jurisdiction of the Disney+ TOS. Again, it was a bad decision on their part and I also don’t think that Binding Arbitration agreements should exist in TOS in the first place, but the meme about the headline isn’t true.

No antisemitism to be seen. The same people is referencing people who think they can buy policy and politicians, regardless of what people want. That is what’s happening here.
