    My partner is Korean, and I asked her if she thought this was racist. She said “it is (technically), but who is getting offended by that?”

    I never used the term in the first place, but if I did, I wouldn’t stop saying it because I know about its past.

    I’m fully convinced that anyone who is sincerely offended by that term is looking for something to be offended by.

    I don’t waste my time thinking about how “smooth brain” is offensive to people who literally have a smooth brain.

    I don’t waste my time dictating to the English; their colloquial term for a “cigarette” is inappropriate nowadays.

    And I don’t waste my time replying to comments on Lemmy regarding semantics.

    Oh, wait…





  • For me, it was Trump.

    I used to hate him, but after he lost the presidency, I realised how empty my life was without him.

    From 2016 to 2020, every morning I would wake up with a smile on my face while I read the latest, dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Each day was progressively more unhinged than the day before.

    He was the perfect receptacle of my endless rage. Sure, he was the source of the rage in the first place, but the combination of infuriation and bewilderment was cathartic.

    Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I think I get the broad strokes now.

    It’s difficult to parse when your brain defaults to “one of these parties are unfairly maligned” - when the truth is they’re both shitty.

    It’s a shame. Some years ago I got a lot of value from both websites, but haven’t really followed digital privacy trends lately. It’s such a time sink to gauge the value of everything by yourself.

    I think I got confused by this Lemmy post claiming it was taken over, not “attempted”. If it was taken over, then why would they shoot themselves in the foot?

    This is all really insane. But there are people here saying that privacyguides are reputable.

    Privacytools seems shadier though, even if they’re claiming to be victims.

    This is all too much drama.
