Yeah. That's what a display does. This is like advertising a monitor as something that can be "anything you want it to"

Five was great IMO but 4 was definitely weak.

Gogol Bordello in top right for sure. Perhaps the toppest and rightest.

It doesn't stop being an exploit just because it's unreported. People need to be aware.

This is a spoiler.

What tequila are you drinking? Do you mean mezcal?

I hadn't heard the term "euphemism treadmill" before, thanks for that.

Honestly feels like a lot of these attempts to be inclusive are counterproductive. If it's not an outright slur we should generally be okay with it. Everyone knows what you are really saying anyway so it feels disingenuous to cut people off and correct them with a synonym that's gonna last a year before someone decides that's offensive too.

It's one thing to do math. Another thing entirely to actually see what happens when it goes off, combined with the realization that people who have no respect for human life will be the ones deciding to use it.

Yeah this reeks of running out of real things to complain about. Or maybe this is just deliberate outrage farming either way.

I don't disagree with that. I just don't think there's a ton of space in the vent diagram of "people who got homeschooled" and "people with a strong sense of agency and personal accountability." A lot of these people are raised with fake victim complexes.

In fairness the fact that this guy got his brain fucked by his parents deciding to home school him is not really his fault
