I'm currently stuck in a used bedroom infested with flies at the time of writing this.

My parents have decided to block internet whenever I try to move my PC back upstairs. Asking them wouldn't work out because it usually falls on deaf ears.

A few days ago, they moved it without my knowledge, and I noticed that my folding table was gone from my bedroom.

I'm planning to set it back up again, but they might turn my internet off when they catch me. I'm trying to get a few ideas and create a plan to move my PC back upstairs.

I found a few tutorials on getting through parental controls, but the tutorials are done on Windows and parental controls are set up using TP-Link.

No one is trying to 'make it a race thing'. It was already 'a race thing' and we are actively trying to un-race it.

You and I being unaware of the partially racial origins of these terms (yes, I just learned about this too), doesn't erase the implications of these words and how it can be hurtful to some people.

There's no such thing as anti-wokeness, only willful ignorance. We can be better people than that.

    Racial origins of those terms? Citation needed.

    Black and white, in the sense of good and evil, have had their connotations for a fucking long time, whereas black and white to describe skin colour are relatively recent etymologies. I'm pretty sure that Romans didn't call themselves "white" or others "black", for example.

    I'm willing to be taught, but this sounds like bullshit to me.

    The etymology being wrong doesn't mean that we shouldn't drop freighted terminology, I just don't want false justification. Bullshit is never a valid reason to do something.
