Atheistic Satanist - justice, compassion, science.

  • Yes its a swear word. Yes, there is a shrinking population where I am (UK) that still can associate it with its original meaning (but that is different in other places too) but you can apply that weak justification to a lot of other words too. 'Cool' literally means 'not warm' but it has also evolved to incorporate other totally different meanings, which can also vary slightly or a lot depending on geographical colloquial use.

    You find it offensive because of your local cultural interpretations. I acknowledge that and respect it, hence why I have said things like 'that word' in my subsequent comments to you. What I'm asking you to consider is that, in places away from your local culture, it doesn't carry that meaning and hasn't for some time. The US is not the entire world.

  • I really don't mind discussing this with you, but please at least make an effort to have your statements make some kind of sense. Just try and envisage the possibility that outside of the US the same or similar words have always had, or have evolved to have, different or alternative meanings. The people where I live who still interpret the word in the same way you insist is the only possible interpretation are of an older generation. Its in pretty common use by all genders in younger generations.

    Also, if you ever get around to getting a passport (a document that lets you travel to other countries), you might want to leave Australia, the UK and Ireland in particular out of any travel plans you have.

  • Not sure recommending Swiss services is a particularly great idea from a privacy perspective right now.

  • Outside of the US, that meaning fell away and/or changed in some places quite sometime ago. I know it's difficult for a certain type of American to envisage a world outside of their own borders but believe it or not, it does exist and even has different cultural language evolutions.

  • I'm assuming you're American? If so you should be aware that word doesn't carry he same baggage elsewhere in the world.

  • You say: "...prevailing orthodoxy to the dogmatic views of leftism..."

    Most on Fediverse say: Just respect difference and don't tolerate intolerance.

    By the way, it's OK to swear. Some examples might be: "You seem to be making a ham-fisted attempt to troll people. Stop being a cunt."

  • Thanks Labour - you've now made me agree with those fucks about something.

  • The problem, I'm afraid, is not the idea but Jeremy Corbyn. A quick look at Yougov polling currently has him less popular than Keir Starmer at 21%. It's a shame we live in such a personality led culture but we do - en masse, people just don't like him and won't vote for him.

  • Last line completely unnecessary.

  • Just to confirm @Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 's comment above, refurbished Pixel 6's start around £106 on ebay etc. Might be even cheaper on somewhere like Vinted. Just make sure you flatten it before putting Graphene on it.

  • Dunno if 'they' do, but I do. You baby.

  • The OSA is nothing to do with kids or parenting and everything to do with further developing surveillance of the UK and controlling what we can access.

    I guarantee you, at some point after this will come prohibiting content deemed terrorism such as mentions of the word 'palestine' and 'action' in the same paragraph for example.

    Sooner or later we'll have our own pseudo or real great firewall. I expect them to come after VPN use at some point too.

  • Can confirm the ubo custom filter method works perfectly.

  • Tread carefully with Venom Prison. Larissa has made some TERF-y statements and followed groups like Gays Against Groomers. It was a few years ago but I've never seen any explanation or addressing of the issue.

  • These are all bands from different subgenres of metal:

    FeminazgulMrs FrighthouseDavghterKarnsteinLust HagGenital Shame

  • "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind - except for Hulk Hogan" - John Donne, probably.

  • No, it happened in the early 80s so bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Budgie, Saxon etc
