A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's that part. But well, if your goal is to hurt someone no matter what, it's one thing. If your goal is to shame evil people for the evil they are doing, you might reconsider your strategy.
Yeah, I understand what you mean, but I'm a married fat guy with kids and I don't feel offended. Maybe the online anglo thing with policing the way we curse and shittalk is bad?
Have you ever considered that "It doesn't bother me personally therefore it shouldn't bother anyone" isn't as sound logic as you might imagine?
Sure, it's the same logic as "it bothers me personally so I get to decide what's ok to say"
Do you know, roughly, how many days you have spent arguing that it's OK to say n-word if you don't finish it with hard r? I'm just interested, for statistics
Exactly zero days because you can't compare being a fatass with being racist. That's pretty dumb
