Did you enjoy humans spouting bullshit faster than humans can debunk it? Well, brace for impact because here comes machine-generated bullshit! Wooooeee’refucked! 🥳

I tried but ended up in some guy’s attic instead :-\ At least there’s free weed 🤷 😅

This really isn’t the article it wishes it were :-\ It kinda reeks of “I’ve picked a thing I want to argue and now I’m going to make up an argument for it” down to admitting that good sources aren’t available (which makes me wonder whether there are no good sources at all or just no good sources that support the author’s argument).

Bonus unpoints for the BDSM reference, just because I hate seeing that term held up as a negative or scary kind of thing and I feel like and/or choose to believe that’s the point in such an unprofessional article, rather than simply meaning “Look, it means sex stuff and that’s unprofessional.” So there. Nyeh! 😝

Also, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone who actually used or contributed to the GIMP (or intended to) complain about the name. I’m interested in seeing some actual data on that, if there is any. Personally I wouldn’t particularly mind a name change but I can’t say whether it’d get more attention and interest than it’d lose to irritating people accustomed to the current one.

Idunno where you got the idea that I’m for slurs or against disabled people but it’s kinda insulting, especially when you took “sometimes said as a derogatory word” and ran it like it’s the whole point or the article over the complaint that got its own paragraph (the Pulp Fiction bit) and shared the same sentence the disability bit is in, or the one that got the whole rest of the article (that it’s vaguely unprofessional). In fact I’m getting more irked every time I go look for evidence that I’ve misinterpreted it. Reading through a couple crap anecdotes to one that actually says something, we get a VP smirking at the name, which makes me wonder whether that person’s just a hateful prick smirking at a disability term or one of the many who giggle at any reference to anything associated with sex. The other three are just “some people dislike the name.” I conclude that the article does not take issue primarily with the name being an abusive term and wonder why you’d say that.

I muchly dislike careless use of abusive terms (I’ve probably got an essay or two ranting over the usage (and existence) of “crazy” and “insane,” for example) so I really don’t disagree that abusive terms should be treated much more seriously.

My entire point was that the author seems to be throwing things at the wall hoping something sticks, not seriously worrying some spooky scary BDSM critter (hi, it’s me :3 ) is gonna tie them up (of course not, the ropes are for me :3 ), nor that anyone’s getting bullied by the tool’s name or it’s irritating old wounds or really anything at all. I don’t think they’re taking any of this seriously. If the term’s abusive in a way that can’t be neutralized by taking it from abusers and making it something else (an arguably valid thing to do) then that’s worth actual serious discussion and not just part of one sentence in a six-page essay.

tl;dr: The article barely even mentions anything about disability and, I think, does so more as an excuse for itself than out of any serious concern for anyone. My complaint/point is, to be clear, exclusively that the article is crap and not that abusive terminology is okay. The article has failed to demonstrate any actual problem with the name itself other than handwavey “some people say” that it’s vaguely unprofessional.

[Sarcasm] See, they really do care about us! They care so much they’re unhiring everyone whose job it was to pretend they care about us! Twitch is a great company and not an evil ball of shit! I respect Amazon and its owned companies and subsidiaries and whatnot because I know they respect me!

Ahhh, I see the problem! … The car drivers feel like fools sitting around in their enormous polluting wastes of space and resources but not going anywhere! So naturally everything good must be destroyed in the name of making the wrong thing feel better.

It’s just another purchasable token thing.

Alternatively: Wow, a brand new way to give them money! I’m so glad they thought of this amazing new idea that no one has been asking for since probably launch!

Idunno, maybe they don’t get all’ their shit delivered in front? Maybe there are trucks in back instead of clogging up the front door that customers use to get in and buy things? Maybe there’s a damn train underneath all’ this! How 'bout that! Nyeehh!!! 😝

“Makes Me Feel Better” :3

Weird answer maybe buuut… myself, and my dream families and friends. Sometimes I spend all’ my time daydreaming and I often come up with critters who end up close to me, sometimes even very close. Between their love and support and my own disregard or outright disdain for various useless opinions of who I’m supposed to be… I’m getting pretty firmly into the DGAF region of my mindspace: I’ll be me on my terms. I’ll try to be my best me, the Keris in my dreams, but that’s my journey to make.

… I’m kinda busted so it’s hard to connect with real people any more :-\ 🤷 Was really shocked when I found out the hard way I’d really bonded with some dream critters. Thought I’d gotten the risks managed but nooooope Misery was building a bigger batch of sad. Anyway, wordsy wordses blar blar blar et ctera 🤷 😴

Daaamn, TOW blew the whole top off’ that poor thing. Didn’t know they were that badass.

I’ll smile extra for you. I hope you can find something here that will lift your spirits. Maybe a whole-ass ammo depot becoming a crater or something? :3

Almost instinctively downvoted after reading what’s gotta be a bot post or a bad joke. Gross.

RiikkaTheIcePrincess, 1 month ago

Ah, a “designated free speech zone!” Weird, it’s cool when they do it 🤔

Yeah, really going for the low-hanging fruit of pointing out that the right is violently dishonest. (Also no, it’s not actually cool. It’s fucked and gross. Just clarifying in case somecritter thought I was being non-sarcastic there 😅 )

“No bullying!” students disagree with genocide “Police, police! Get those fuckin’ nerds! We’ve got lockers you can stuff them into if you want!”

'Course, “anti-bullying campaigns” seem to have a tendency some places to either have some serious cracks or actually make things worse at least some of the time. Same with other “student protection” initiatives, some schools just mysteeeriously have interestingly high rates of traumatized students going out compared to coming in.

(In case it’s unclear, I’m complaining about shit schools letting students get attacked in various ways but trying to pretend they’re not just letting it happen or quietly encouraging it. In the US at least, the “education system” being gross or outright vile does not stop at/after high school: it’s top to bottom bullshit same as what at this point feels like every other “system” around here)

[Joke] Halp I’m locked in the basement he makes me eat only Spicy Nacho Doritos!

Wait, that’s fine, the basement doesn’t have a lock, and the dogs ate the Doritos 😅 Also I live in the attic.

Apparently I’ve joined the family via the approval of the cats and dogs 😅 One of the dogs isn’t bad, even! Other one’s a hellacious pest 😅 Distracted by Star Wars @.@ Maybe yap more later

But I heard that all cops are benevolent!

🤔 Wait no, that’s not right. Anyway I’m sure it’s somehow not their fault. (Edit: nor the school’s fault for calling the fucking cops)
