The needless asymmetry feels too forced with this ship

Unfortunately it doesn’t on the voyager app but thank you for the link

Needs a mirror for those of us that don’t use telegram

It is possible to simply not buy into whatever status symbols are current.

The same as it has always been possible to not buy into beauty products, fast fashion, new cars and a million other worthless expressions of social status.

Though that does usually mean branding yourself as an outlier to some degree.

Either the rules apply or they don't sweetie,

Delete all the slurs like a good little bitch mod, go on, clean up your mess.

And thanks for not answering

Such sheer idiocy is undeserving of a direct answer.

Both retard and moron are bigoted slurs, which breaks rule 1 so you had best get busy purging comments including your own.

Thanks for playing.

I never argued for the acceptability for either word you retard I only pointed out your hypocrisy.

The connotations are the same and you haven't offered any fucking proof otherwise.

The social acceptability is different only because of how words fall in and out of favour in the lexicon you retard.

It is not a connotation you have issue with it is the social acceptability, and you're too much of a fucking retard to comprehend it no matter how it is spelt out.

Go back to roman posting you loser.

I have explained to you very clearly how the connotation is exactly the same for both words because they have the same root, usage and cultural meaning though acceptability has differed over time.

You fucking retard.

Don't be a fucking moron.

Exactly the same behaviour as saying don’t be a fucking retard. Either both are acceptable or neither is because they are synonymous, in meaning and historical context.

That you used one as a slur on the playground does not change this.

If you need this explained any further there is probably a c/explainlikeimfive around here somewhere.

His point that whatever term retard is replaced with in the lexicon will simply go on the treadmill of slurs just like moron did.

You are literally participating in the problem you tried to call out.

Moron is a slur against precisely the same people retard is.

Retard was literally the word that replaced moron in medical language and has all the same connotations.

You have proven his point to perfection.

Forcing password changes too frequently is actually a security risk, as it encourages bad practices like re-use, iteration, keyboard walks and writing the passwords down.

There are reasonable limits to impose on this, and educating users with demonstrations such as haveibeenpwned have been highly effective in my experience.

The vast majority of cruise ship passengers are middle class. This hatred on lemmy for anyone and everyone who has even some form of disposable income is ridiculous.

Most countries have less violent racism now than at any other point in history.

Your claim it is one of the most dangerous parts of the world simply doesn’t hold up. Laos doesn’t contain any of the top 100 most dangerous cities.

Laos is mostly considered to have a normal level of danger, except areas bordering Myanmar due to civil war, and Xaisomboun province due to civil unrest, as advised by multiple countries:

Secondly I don’t hate poor people, I was pointing out your hate of people with the means to enjoy their lives.

Young people travelling and experiencing new cultures is a good thing. What else would a person call that but an adventure?

Also it wasn’t the victims that used that word it was the media. You decided you hated the victims before you knew anything about them.

step over poor and dying people and ignore the suffering while you go "wow what an adventure!"

Yea the poor would really appreciate if you kept your income and wealth entirely in your own nation thanks. Tourism has never been important to an economy.

You are a short sighted and angry fool. Too focused on your own situation to view the world through any other lense.

Offensive because you are too poor and it makes you feel bad by comparison?

What are you talking about?

It is known as a fact that asexual reproduction does occur and does not involve the merging of two zygotes.

Everything else you have spouted is purely irrelevant and is deflection.

It is clear you have too much ego to properly participate in science.

I was reading the book description and thinking this sounds like an entirely reasonable basis for an analysis. I didn’t see the comment until I read yours.

Where’s a useless red circle when you need one?
