I keep saying “Computers is not a hobby for me”

Also you just did the thing

Linux people are unhelpful true once again

Google search: hyperspecific computer or hobby problem reddit is the only good material I find on the damn site.

I saw two borked up ads that played audio and no video, refreshed my browser and haven’t seen them since. I also updated my block list and it’s been fine.

No. This framing is incredibly foolish. If a term is hurtful to a group of people, you stop using it in favor of other words, otherwise you demonstrate you dont care that it is hurtful to a group of people, hence “continually stabbing the victim”

I’m seeing a bunch of tacked on cosmetic bits made to give the look of performance to computers. According to another post, that one-for-one matches my last known definition to the term.

Also nonracists using a racist term doesnt make the term stop being racist. Curing doesnt start by not meaning it when you keep using the racist term. You dont bandage a stab wound by continually stabbing the victim.

If you cant put a set of rays on your pc can you even call it done? 😤

They were not called that “for a brief moment” it’s been used to put down import tuner cars for decades by people who’d rather drive mustangs and camaros. It was meant to put down:

• small displacement import cars
• tuned import cars
• (and this one i remember cause it wasnt that long ago) cars with cheap or considered tacky modifications that often only alluded to performance modification.

It’s so obviously loaded with racist connotation that I dont know why you’d want to defend it so badly.

Also it’s not two manufacturers. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mistubishi were all putting out sporty cars that were getting performance numbers rivaling v8 block american cars at the time

It was racist WITHIN MY OWN LIFETIME unless you fell out the applecart yesterday that still applies to you.

I dont see how you can defend this. You acknowledge it’s based on a racist term. There’s no reclamation going on, you just lifted context and addressed none of the problems. And no part of you is saying “we could probably use another work here” in all of this?

• it started as something racist
• but then—

We can stop right there

Good, we could use it more left though

I dont think they’re supposed to be any safe at all. As part of our board culture we’re to expect that DMs offer no security, and to use other platforms if it’s a concern.

Just block all of france.

I think the internet will actually appreciate that
