What exactly is wrong with those sayings? Are they racist or something?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah nothing wrong, just highlighting the poetry of an apt simile that's rare in common parlance

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 9 points 2 years ago

Thank you!

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

Yes. Everything poor people do is racist, sometimes you just have to get creative and assume bad faith to figure out exactly how.

Lights are on, but nobody's home, huh?

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hey now with all the saying I know and find out have racist origins and shouldn’t say that shit anymore, I dunno why you’d dunk on someone trying to be better

The part where you assumed something southern also had to be racist was where you accidentally revealed your own prejudice. People may be noting the irony approaching hypocrisy.

This is how the left eats itself

Are you a couple of cards short of a full deck?

It’s just fucking unnecessary vulgar

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Vulgarity, jackass 🤗

Thanks!

From first link:

In 2014, the programming language Drupal replaced “master/slave” terminology with “primary/replica.”

Says a bit about the writer's understanding of the matter.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Does the nomenclature matter that much? Why not primary vs literally anything else?

'Master' copies would just be original. They aren't hard words to get around for the vast majority of the population.

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 years ago

My bad, took something for granted. My issue is with Drupal being called a programming language. That's like saying BMW is an aluminum smelter.
