Quality shitpost lol

Yeah, I kinda am on the same page as you but I do think modern judginess in contexts like this can get to be too much. Practically none of the language changes proposed really bother me, after at least a little time to think about them, I just get a little annoyed when some of the more benign ones seem to be pushed as similar to the other more terrible ones. An example would be “master bedroom”. Basically no one would ever naturally think of that as racist or of a racist origin, though it probably is a relic of the slavery era. So while I think it’s good to try and move away from the term, if someone told me I shouldn’t say it in conversation, I wouldn’t find it helpful and I would find it annoying. I think there should be priorities because people do have limited brain space for new replacement terms. I could probably list 20 words that have become unusable in my lifetime so far, and I have no issue with basically all of them, but if every time I say one of the more engrained, less harmful ones, I’m told I shouldn’t say it, my human reaction is to get annoyed. If you had approached it a little more softly here I don’t think I’d mind at all. Like “Just so you know, this term has origins in being derogatory to Asians” for example. Starting off with “don’t say that” without explanation hits much differently imo. So it’s partially about priorities and partially about approach for me.

‘beaner’ is literally a racial slur that I instantly recognized as sounding exactly like what you wrote. Doesn’t matter if you’ve heard of it.

I’m not sure why you’re here trying to scold me for this. I explained what you meant and expressed understanding of it.

I think it gets the point across even if it’s off by orders of magnitude.

Fair enough. I was guilty of assuming their disinterest in the truth elsewhere was part of a larger pattern. Blocked them though so I won’t make the mistake again.

Ooh wow such coolness. A user hates me for cryptic reasons. Must also make me a zionist somehow. I take it I’m less credible than neo Nazis in your eyes

What I’ve seen is that people get called a zionist without just cause frequently so I’m highly skeptical of anyone even using the term without evidence. I myself have been called a zionist a dozen times at least and I have never really even said anything that could be construed that way. The last time I remember it happening was by a user who literally had re-posted a neo-Nazi and was trying to sweep it under the rug. What was my offense? Pointing out that the user was a neo-Nazi. Yeah man sure if you think Nazis are a bad place to get your info you must love Israel and genocide /s

“ricing” comes from people “tricking out” Japanese cars by customizing them. I think most people don’t think it’s saying anything negative about Asians but some people take it that way. I think one similar term that sounds much worse is when people call those same Japanese cars “rice burners”. That one sounds derogatory/racist to me

I might be an idiot too, but I know French and didn’t get it. I think mostly because the image is low res and those “legs” look like rawhide bones for dogs imo

If you were right about this, most every doctor I’ve seen is good. They definitely aren’t though. The reverse has been true in my experience. One doctor had me wait 2 hours past the appointment time, then, shocker, wasted a lot more of my time and money, and my problem was never addressed. He never even seemed to understand what the problem was (and he should have, I explained it several times). He referred me to a doctor that was literally in the process of retiring and said he told the referring doctor this. The story gets even longer but suffice it to say I wasted thousands of dollars and several hours for nothing. And this was consistent with my experience other places too. Unreasonable wait times have occurred alongside really terrible doctors for me.

I knew that and still would’ve never gotten it. I thought these were dog bones.

I update my system often and believe it or not reboot more than once every couple years ;) I’m clueless about all these details I just know from a user perspective I had some annoyances and breakages.

I am not familiar with AppManager at all.

You likely ran an outdated version of appimagelauncher

I’m just curious how you think this would have happened. Did I install it, not use it for months, never update my system, then start using it?

I am not sure it matters why or what issues I had, but I had a few, enough to look for an alternative. In fact my experience with AIL is part of the reason I avoid appImages. They just don’t seem to work well in my experience. In any case you were dismissive in your first message and really negative about software that works fine for me, citing reasons that don’t seem relevant to my use case, about details that never seemed to impact me. I just know I tried to use AIL for a couple of years and had issues multiple times, the last time resulting in breaking an app. So I stopped using it.

All I know is appImageLauncher gave me a lot of issues so as soon as I found an alternative I tried it and haven’t had an issue yet.

Edit: apparently having an experience gets a downvote. Pretty whiny and weird thing to do.

Man shit like this drives me nuts and it seems to happen so often. Also it irks me when people have plenty of space on a large sidewalk but for some reason get really close to me. Especially runners. No one needs to smell your sweaty ass, man, use the rest of the sidewalk. It’s right there.
