The slur is usually spelled differently, but regardless using it as a joke is pretty dumb. Midwesterners, have you ever heard of a pair of wire cutters referred to as dikes? A few years back a coworker of mine asked me to hand him my dikes (had a pair of wirecutters in my hand) and I was confused AF

Yeah, short for “diagonal cutters”. I learned this in California though.

I only associate earthen structures to hold back seawater and extend land area in the Netherlands with the word "dike" spelled that way. The comforts of being European, I suppose.

"I find Hamilton's helmet more offensive but who cares" in the Dakar thread after a discussion of a rider with a confederate flag on his helmet. I assume "Hamilton" means Lewis Hamilton who races with a BLM logo on his helmet.

naming motorcycles after women in general is just gross. i sometimes think of my bikes as if they're horses or dogs or other loyal animals. for instance i will pat the gas tank after successfully dodging out of the way of a car doing something stupid, or say "good bike" as it's ticking and cooling after riding home safely in blinding rain. so i guess if i had to name my motorcycles, they would be animal names like "muffin" or "general sherman" or "rex." but it's a not a goddamned human woman (custom title aside)

I wonder how they would feel if you posted in the thread that you are naming your bikes after advrider members?Sagebrush posted:i sometimes think of my bikes as if they're horses or dogs or other loyal animals. for instance i will pat the gas tank after successfully dodging out of the way of a car doing something stupid, or say "good bike" as it's ticking and cooling after riding home safely in blinding rain. so i guess if i had to name my motorcycles, they would be animal names like "muffin" or "general sherman" or "rex." It's ok I do this too. It's like a primal reflex, even though I hate thinking of a machine as an animal and never name them. Coydog fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Feb 8, 2021 |

I think of them as a friendly non-sentient robot animal if they're a 'go slowly with character' bike, and more like a melee weapon imbued with evil power if it's something fast cause then it's just a tool for killing corners. My bike is big and heavy and drinks a lot and from Australia originally so I guess it's name is Bruce?

There’s a few posters who used to show up in threads and very patiently and politely argue the decent side of arguments. No ad hom attacks, just well written refutations of lovely ideas or generally poor arguments. They all disappear for a while, I think because there is just an inexhaustible supply of idiot masculine meatheads that like arguing even more.

I’ve definitely messaged a handful of them thanking them for good posts and having the patience to engage with something more than “lol gently caress off” or mocking the real shitlords, which is all I do any more.

I've been listening to an audiobook of enlightenment-era feminist work, and the quotes referenced in contemporary non-feminist work are an amazingly familiar paraphrase of the exchange above which can be summarized as "Women are human beings!"

Literally just calm hitler but for raging mysoginy. I will now toot my own horn and say that I argued about this very thing in this very forum several years ago and people told me to stfu and stop being so precious. Culture really does change and you really can make it happen with constant applied pressure, you just have to accept it taking ages and having no friends in the meantime.

If you just want the word gone ask nicely and they’ll probably edit it out of your current av, though they’ll have to ask an admin to put that through it’s often granted gratis.

In a thread about how AOC triggers conservative white men (it's actually pretty good, the owns are a little feeble, but they're there):quote:Hey Fred, I notice you're a little vague about your location, but I'll be I know where you live. I bet live in a place where there are no black people. In fact, I'll bet you couldn't range a black person with an artillery shell from your front yard. "How does he know this?!," you're wondering. It's simple. All of the most enthusiastic anti-racists here in CSM have miraculously, accidentally, completely-not-on-purpose found themselves living in de facto whites-only communities. Marin County, Scottsdale, New Hampshire. But maybe you're the exception. Prove me wrong. Post up your zip code and let's check it out.  that word choice

That argument is a giant loving mess that I don't even want to try and unpack in a motorcycle forum, but he's mixing classism, racism, and probably a couple of other -isms into his lovely little worldview where he measures distance by whether or not something is in range of a howitzer. Home of the brave, baby.
