    No, you’re thinking about a different scenario. What matters is not if you are black, but if you are the target of the word you are comparing to the n-word.

    She, as an obese person herself, proposed that “obese” is equivalent to the n-word. She didn’t censor her word the same way a black person doesn’t have to censor the n-word. That’s not a contradiction. It would be, if she wasn’t obese.

    Not that I care about the actual point, just wanted to talk about the logic. My bad, if my assumption that she is obese, is wrong.








  • I didn’t get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).

    I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).

    I learn Japanese on and off. I’m currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn’t a definite answer T_T


  • If it’s your first distro, then it might be an overkill.

    I’d first start out with a readymade distro, because maybe it already fits your needs and wants. If you get to a point where you spend a lot of time on rebuilding your setup or distro-hopping, then Arch can be considered.

    (Not because you are lazy. I’m lazy, too, but maintenance isn’t much work, unless you’re running updates too infrequently. You should check the news before updating. Many users don’t and even then when you “break” something, it’s not too difficult to identity the problem and fix it with the great help of ArchWiki, the community and chroot.)
