Okay but if you get stuck, at least try to get in one good asphyx-e-wank on your way out.

Do you mean your idea of white is more inclusive or less inclusive and where are you from?

And who qualifies as black or African where you're from?

What scientists are these? Fully half of the U.S. is going to be underwater in the next thirty years?

Bull fucking shit.

There's no reason to think that I'm no longer chasing my dream, that I'm being dragged by it is there? - Marc Maron

Make the implication especially spicy by emphasizing "I".

I see! Like going to a black hair salon because they're more likely to know the idiosyncrasies of that hair type and are less likely to look at you cross-eyed when you walk in the door.

Can I ask what you mean by reactionary in this context? I've been seeing lots of people say that lately.

What kinda of things does gender affirming care entail outside of hormone therapy and full reassignment surgery?

You're probably right about this specific dude's motivations for posing the question, but I think I am right that this type of thought is entirely normal and even common to have. You are right about the dismissiveness too, sorry.

Weird just means unusual (with slight negative connotations already) . So to use "weird" as an unqualified insult is to say that being unusual is a negative thing in itself. Which echoes the sentiment behind things like xenophobia and such. That's why people are uncomfortable with this line of political attack, imo.

To say "there's good weird and bad weird" doesn't say much more than that there are ways of being unusual that you view positively and those that you view negatively. But that's obvious and doesn't resolve the issue I mentioned before.

shutdown -r now VS shutdown now

The -r muscle memory is real.

Unfortunately I think there's been a good bit of evidence recently that people WILL accept it. As a prime example lemmy hasn't exactly replaced reddit despite the relative uproar that the API changes caused. Netflix & co just keep hiking prices and people just keep buying it.

And then on the technical side, if the ads are coming from the server it's possible youtube might just refuse to serve the rest of the video stream until all or most the ad's runtime has passed. It depends on how serious they want to get about capturing the revenue lost to adblock users.
