    From racist Central Park encounter with a ‘Karen’ to Emmy-winning birdwatcher
  • Clearly he wasn't afraid of the dog.

    That isn't the problem about the dog being off leash, the problem is it being able to go after the wildlife.

    Maybe he should have been colder headed maybe not, we could critisize his being in the right but being an asshole about it, but we cannot equate that to her being in the wrong and doubling down by consciously making use of her white privilege to make a false accusation that could have ended very badly for him. This is not a both sides situation.

  • What so many people probably want is homeless having somewhere safe to go and resources to go out of homelessness. They get hostile architechture instead.

  • Counterpoint: dictators that died in their beds because of course they couldn't be prosecuted under their own regime and have them undergo fair trial. Bonus points if their victims are still alive so they can get some closure. Spain's Franco comes to mind.

    GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release
  • I don't want to answer a specific user about the name connotations but, isn't the load of a word dependant of the intention? My friends and I call each other whores. And conversely one can use "woman" as a very badly loaded vocative.

  • Probably every single European bridge called "Devil's Bridge" has a story about how he was tricked into making it in one single night and then denied his prize because

    • they made a rooster sing before dawn because the contract specified that as the deadline
    • they made an animal cross the bridge first because the first soul was to be taken per contract
    • they bully him into giving it up with some divine intercession.

    saying that homophobes are just "secretly gay and trying to repress it" is homophobic itself
  • There is some correlation I guess, but I generaly agree. Not all homophobes are secretly gay but those who are, guess what, wouldn't be if it weren't for the systemic homophobia.

    It rubs me the wrong way because it appears in the comments everytime a homophobic crime happens. Yeah, he must be secretly gay. Might be, might be not, but meanwhile we have already closed the case as an internal problem. Just queers killing/abusing/assaulting each other.

    I just told it to

    >Make a cheatsheet with two columns: on the left, Markdown syntax; on the right, the ReStructured Text equivalent.

    and it started well but after a minute it seemed to enter a loop outputting the same thing over and over again.

    Is this something one should report, or is it something that sometimes happens with ai chats?

    It was a huge thing for me when it was released, due to my discovering queer activism around the time; and I think it was a huge thing, culturally speaking, for many queer people in many countries.

    I rewatched it yesterday but of course through the lenses of nostalgia, so I wondered if it has aged well, if it resonates with the younger people...
