Hey, do you know what helps stop people using them?
If they don't learn new slurs and stereotypes that they didn't previously know about by giant mass media frenzies that bring them to their attention!

I didn't say "people shouldn't stop using them, we should stop complaining when they do", I merely pointed out that pouring huge amounts of attention on them has the negative effect of spreading knowledge of them as well as the positive one of encouraging people not to use them.

But hey, great point you made there! :yeah:

Your point literally distils to "don’t tell people when someone is using offensive language." I would ask if I have to explain what that’s blazingly dumb, but apparently I actually do. But I’ll keep it short.

Dog whistles and coded language. Also it’s better to know when someone is being a shithead rather than being oblivious just because they’re from a different culture.

You mean the black straps? That little round thing on them is a speaker that will let off a loud noise if tampered with.

I’ve used those. Worked in retail 5 years. And they way those work is they clip into themselves. They don’t attract to the product. So if you only wrap it length-wise around the product, you can literally slide it off without tampering. If they thread it through the handle, you can just break the handle so the spider-wrap can now slide free. Those protex boxes are way better than the spider-wraps.

It was in an airline-approved soft-sided pet carrier. It wasn't just a dog in a duffel bag or something.

Also passengers reported hearing barking while the dog was up there. I doubt the attendant did not hear that as well.

Imagine someone lying to cover their mistake. Crazy!

It's not the lie. It's being so bad about it. Apparently the attendants also get lists of who has pets since there's a surcharge. So, there's literally no way the attendant couldn't have known about the dog, yet that's the lie they went with?

Would have been better going "I was never trained on proper pet travelling procedure, I thought it would have been fine."

the tweet, not that it was deleted

The union bit was a little odd to me, but otherwise, yeah, a Disney movie that dealt with trans issues or abortion? That would be some interesting stuff.

Wait, Wobblies? I’d heard "throwing a wobbly" as slang for having a tantrum. Related?

Same company, different studios.

True, I look at it more like different imprints than different cultures, but I don't really know about how it's structured over there beyond the rare article I skim. The culture could be significantly different between studios. So yeah, the PIXAR side would likely end up with a better movie about those topics.

It's a response to new legislature that can hold companies responsible if they're believed to have been involved in human trafficking, which has really only shut down a bunch of avenues for legitimate sex workers.

Yeah, best part is the government was told it’s unconstitutional because it’s retroactive. They went ahead as is

Anyone who searches "Barely Legal" on Pornhub should be met with a video of a greasy man with a pencil-thin mustache chuckling and saying, "i getcha, totally, those FUCKERS in Congress won't let us gently caress kids, so we take what we get, AM I RIGHT?"

And then it does a subtle scan of their hard drive contents and quietly sends the results to the FBI.

You realize most "barely legal" "models" are in their mid 20s?

Edge is a different code base, so no poo poo there’s compatibility issues. Edge is Microsoft actually going "gently caress it, IE is a huge mess, and we need to stop supporting this poo poo." There will be no new versions of IE, and I’m sure it won’t even be included in the next version of Windows rather than merely being buried.

Maybe Opera is actually compatible with most websites now.

I loved old Opera, but that was also during the dark period of the aughts when using a Mac meant keeping 5 different browsers in your dock (Safari, Firefox, Opera, Omniweb, sometimes iCab) because there was a good chance the site you were visiting wouldn't work for at least 3 of them.

Those days aren't as far away as you think. I was helping a user at work today because they couldn't open an excel spreadsheet linked on the company resource page. We tried a different method, and got a popup that said "To open this you must have matching versions of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office." And they don't make IE for Mac anymore.
