I agree, this isn't a ragebait. I actually posted it because I thought he was trying to avoid saying piracy is a bad thing, I don't know what is going on in the comments.

TIL ping pong is actually called table tennis, I thought that was an entirely different sport

I used tor to check if it was just on my end and it was the 6th result there

my dumb ass thought the joke was about the image being broken

yeah it's depressing seeing people decide that it's okay to do asshole things if it is towards asshole people, I understand that you want to be a jerk back but it makes me feel like we lost the progress we just made towards not doing the asshole thing

I'm sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn't think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I've just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don't know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

I spent 40 minutes looking for a specific image from a guy asking on reddit about why his fridge was overheating (due to a steam geyser) but I couldn't find it

I thought they were called geothermal vents until right before posting so here's the alternate reality version of this meme

 
 

I would rather you give nothing at all

 

for those OOTL, the extension played the wii shop theme whenever you went on a shopping site (ebay, amazon, craigslist, etc.)

I had to upload the video through lemmy.world because videos are still broken on dbzer0

the music used is Wii Fit Plus - Failure

 
 

the chart is the highest cover values in the game for non-anomaly items, from the rimworld wiki

I altered the rimworld screenshot to move the cover effectiveness text to the top but I didn't alter any of the data

I've heard this sentiment that it is immoral a lot on the internet, and I would like to hear more about it. It feels intuitively correct to me, but I would like to hear the reasoning behind it.

Examples to further the title's meaning

  • Calling someone 'queer' to mean they are weird, but not in a way intended as disparaging to those who are LGBT(Q+).

Not Examples

Discussion questions:

  • How does this factor into meanings of words fading away?
    • Does it still pack the same "punch" after it no longer is commonly used as a pejorative?
      • If not, at what point is it generally considered okay to use?
  • How does this differ/compare with reclamation?

Some potential reasoning that I've thought of on my own, feel free to discuss.

  • Bad actors can piggyback off of the use as a negative to help condemn the original target group.
  • It may directly harm the group, by them (also knowing the original context) coming into contact with it and causing/enabling self-hate.
    • This may apply irregardless of if they know it was intended as non-disparaging to them or not, but this is just speculation based off of my similar experiences.

I apologize for any personal bias within this comment, I tried my best to limit it but I am fallible.

Though I would like a discussion in the comments, please refrain from insults and inflammatory statements towards your fellow lemmings, despite the hot topic. /srs

 

I used current-tense and past-tense in the same sentence, too late to redo it now
