Yeah I’d forgotten about what a dud GTA 4 was. Not just the driving, the faux-HDR or whatever you call it really did not work on my TV so it kept alternating between too dark to see anything and everything washed out white. Basically made it unplayable. I’m sure it looked amazing on the developers’ high spec LCD monitors, but it was ass on my CRT.
this is literally what intersectionality is about. Right-wingers make fun of “black disabled lesbian basket-weavers”, but if you do happen to fall into more than one marginalised group the problems aren’t just added, they’re multiplied.
There’s the story of the company who claimed to be perfectly equal rights on race and sex, because they hired equal numbers of men and women, and also a representative portion of Black and White people. But women weren’t hired for the factory floor, and Black people weren’t allowed in the customer-facing roles, so if you were a Black woman then you weren’t getting hired. Likewise many university LGBTQ+ societies have ongoing drama around the fact that they tend to get run by gay men organising events and activities around gay male culture, alienating the entire female membership.
Once you become aware of how common things like this actually are, then comments insinuating you should only be allowed to pick one come across as, let’s say not great.
it’s a way for bullies to find an excuse for bullying by pretending they’re “protecting women”
on one hand it’s easy enough to just run Linux on a VM if that’s what you want to use. On the other, I think an element some might forget is that most new hires were also applying for other jobs at the same time and often have other offers live on the table.
Apart from everything mentioned below, you post a single one of those here, and Google & friends instantly know basically everything about user ジン@quokk.au’s entire online life.

In my house we use the Southern words during the week and the Northern version on Sundays, as in Sunday Dinner. Are we weird or does anyone else do that?
Spectacularly missing the point of why bigotry is bad in the first place.
Telling someone they’re in “bigotry debt” over something that someone they’ve never even met did 200 years ago, and therefore fair game for pig-ignorant abuse, is as close to textbook racism as you can get. You have absolutely zero moral high ground here.
They did fuck all with the spices
The British national dish is curry.
Bigotry always goes hand-in-hand with ignorance.
I’m increasingly seeing this used as a disclaimer, as in, “don’t trust what I’m about to say; I went with the source that’s 90% useless because when I Googled it the search results were 100% useless”.

Funny you mention it, because I was thinking of going back and reading all the Dilbert strips I missed out on after Scott Adams went mask-off racist. Am I allowed?

it doesn’t quite “land” as impactfully in English as it probably does in your native language
Nono, it’s definitely a thing in English. Used to be the dropdown options on some dating sites. Or so I gather.

Is there a word for the type of ragebait when it’s specifically posting something wrong, so that you get engagement from people telling you why you’re a fucking idiot? It should be bannable offense regardless. OP going straight on the block list. Actually skimming their profile they look like a low-effort repost bot anyway
Most of what makes these “bad times”, involves the existence of massive dickheads like Laurence Fox, who think that strength is the same as bigotry.




Nah, that’s irrelevant. OP didn’t get to Naziism via some broad category like that, they got there directly through JKR
