Oh, I was all confused interpreting chasers as gay guys into stocky hairy guys.

Clearly he wasn't afraid of the dog.

That isn't the problem about the dog being off leash, the problem is it being able to go after the wildlife.

Maybe he should have been colder headed maybe not, we could critisize his being in the right but being an asshole about it, but we cannot equate that to her being in the wrong and doubling down by consciously making use of her white privilege to make a false accusation that could have ended very badly for him. This is not a both sides situation.

Counterpoint: dictators that died in their beds because of course they couldn't be prosecuted under their own regime and have them undergo fair trial. Bonus points if their victims are still alive so they can get some closure. Spain's Franco comes to mind.

Isn't the IQ adjusted to always have an average of 100?

You have (normally) 4 fingers with 3 phalanxes each, plus a fifth one (the thumb) to point at each one of those phalanxes.

I don't want to answer a specific user about the name connotations but, isn't the load of a word dependant of the intention? My friends and I call each other whores. And conversely one can use "woman" as a very badly loaded vocative.

Probably every single European bridge called "Devil's Bridge" has a story about how he was tricked into making it in one single night and then denied his prize because

  • they made an animal cross the bridge first because the first soul was to be taken per contract
  • they bully him into giving it up with some divine intercession.

There is some correlation I guess, but I generaly agree. Not all homophobes are secretly gay but those who are, guess what, wouldn't be if it weren't for the systemic homophobia.

It rubs me the wrong way because it appears in the comments everytime a homophobic crime happens. Yeah, he must be secretly gay. Might be, might be not, but meanwhile we have already closed the case as an internal problem. Just queers killing/abusing/assaulting each other.

It's so fun and such an easy way to give back to osm.

For some reason I had to use homebrew and it made me discover FOSS and the terminal. I started switching to GIMP, Scribus and others on Mac and ended up jumping to Linux.

It was a huge thing for me when it was released, due to my discovering queer activism around the time; and I think it was a huge thing, culturally speaking, for many queer people in many countries.

I rewatched it yesterday but of course through the lenses of nostalgia, so I wondered if it has aged well, if it resonates with the younger people...
