Meta has been ruining the internet long enough. It's time the internet told them to shut up and go away

Dungeons and Dragons is non-euclidian. The length of the hypotenuse is equal to the longer of the two sides. Yes, it's silly. But that's RAW

I was in exactly this situation. My bike was stolen, there was CCTV, they said it would take hours to go through the time during which it was stolen.

Transphobes think that bees have telepathy. Like the Zerg in Starcraft. They think that bees literally actually share thoughts and have no individual will like in science fiction. They think there's a "psychic lobe" in the bee brain that causes telepathy. They're not very good at science, and they don't know that bees communicate through dance. They think it's telepathy.

How am I so certain that transphobes believe in magic bees? Because they argue very vehemently that humans cannot be swarmgender like bees are, because humans lack the physiological requirements to form a hivemind. They are referring, of course, to the fact that humans don't have magic powers. Because they think bees do.

@[email protected] commented on a thread about me to say I'm faking my gender. Kool Newt, if you're going to harass me, I prefer that you do it to my face. You say I'm faking being swarmgender, and now I want to hear you finish misgendering me. Pick a gender and call me it. Let's see if your moral compass will stop you from being blatantly transphobic, or if you're bigoted enough to finish what you started.

@[email protected] came to a thread attacking me to voice a controversial opinion: Since being nonbinary entitles me to avoid all the discrimination levelled against real trans people, I ought to be bullied into no longer identifing as trans, transtrender that I am. I would like to thank them for this genius solution. I never thought that we could solve bullying by just bullying more people! What a stroke of brilliance!

Just kidding, Poggervania is a blatant transphobe who openly advocates harassing and attacking trans people for kicks.

For those not in the know, "TexMexBazooka" is the alt account of popular startrek.website user Stamets, who felt the need to personally attack, demean, and subtweet at me for being nonbinary over the past two days.

@[email protected] responded to a meme about swarmgenders to call me a troll for being nonbinary. Out of curiosity, I tried an experiment, and asked if there are any xenogenders they respect. They responded by saying it's "over the line" of made up specialist [sic] snowflake shit.

Make no mistake: This is the average view of people who yell about how xenogender people are "trolls".

The big problem in your code is that the function name isn't descriptive. If I'm 500 lines down seeing this function called, how do I know what you're trying to do? I'm going to have to scroll up 500 lines to find out. The function name should be descriptive.

Hexbear users love to call people they don't like "wreckers". What is a wrecker? Well, they define it as anyone who holds views which are disruptive to the majority opinion. This is regardless of whether the views are progressive or reactionary. And fun fact: Progressive views are ALWAYS disruptive to the majority opinion, because it's not progress if everyone is already there. If everyone already agrees with it, it's just normal. Reactionary views, on the other hand, usually defend the status quo and the existing systems of oppression. So it's quite obvious that most "wreckers" are people to the left of Hexbear users. This is a consequence of the basic facts of politics.

So, if a Hexbear user calls you a wrecker, take it as a compliment. They're saying that your new radical ideas are too crazy, and the old guard are going to pick a fight with you about it. I've been called a wrecker for the opinions that slurs are bad, we should accept all genders, and we should speak out when authority is abusive. These are awesome opinions, but they are very disruptive to the status quo and they make me a wrecker. If you believe in doing something about climate change, you're a wrecker. If you believe in a communist revolution, you're a wrecker. If you believe in trans rights, you're a wrecker.

"Wrecker" is a compliment, and anyone who uses it as an insult is a right wing reactionary.

I told my boss I had an idea for a program that could improve efficiency across much of the business, and he let me build it on company time. In the long term, he wanted to be able to sell it to other companies. However, the program never got implemented due to personnel mismanagement, and I'd rather be able to post it on my github under a free licence so I can use it as a resume item, and at least someone would have the chance to actually use it. It's all still in my head, and I could write it again if I wanted. If I do, is it illegal to publish it? What if I write it in a different language? Do I need to change the variable names? I did plenty of research and planning on company time to build it, and it's not like I can research it again, it's all still in my head.

Suppose a white skinned american who doesn't speak fluent spanish were to call a black person "negro". When confronted about their obvious racism, they defend their language with "I'm just speaking spanish, and it's not racist in spanish". This is obviously a cope and the person is obviously a racist. While the original origin of the word may be from spanish, the word has passed into english through racialised use. Any use in english by a non spanish speaker must therefore be assumed to be racial.

While the word "Narcissus" has its original origins as a Greek name, the separate but related word "narcissistic" was coined by english speaking psychologists, and it passed into common english vernacular through Christopher Lasch's book The Culture of Narcissism, which presented the thesis that narcissistic personality disorder was becoming more common in comptemporary america. Given that most common use of the word narcissistic is derived from the cultural impacts of this book, it's safe to associate any use of the term in common discourse with the disorder. Especially since while 50% of the users of the word will respond like you did, the other 50% will respond with "Yes, I was talking about NPD because narcissists deserve to be hated for their disorder".

I agree with you and you're being really correct, but narcissistic is a slur. The origin of the word comes from the disability Narcissistic Personality Disorder. You're obvious talking about neurotypical behaviour, so could you use a different word?

There's also the fact that I'm an enby who has emotions and opinions. The patriarchy hates that, it wants us all to be demure, submissive, and inoffensive fetish objects. Women used to be treated the same way, but feminism hasn't really got around to enbies yet so we're still treated like women used to be. So in conclusion: Blahaj hates me for refusing gender roles because they're big sexists
