  • Yes, because you are the only saying it and contextualizing that way, getting upset, and hurling insults, all because I'm pointing out they brought it into popular culture. Yes, it was a slang term within certain movements, how is that "contributing to the conversation at hand" when my comment was about how popular it is now?

    Hitler also brought the toothbrush mustache and the Hinduism swatiska symbol for well-being and good luck. They both had plenty of benign usage before Hitler brought them infamy.

    Maybe you are so upset because you think the same is going to happen to the term "woke", but I would argue that any negative intent is added to such a flimsy facade that it's not really going to matter, people are just going to be ok with it. It's easy for something to shed the negative connotations when the MAGA are outing themselves at their true intent of the words.

    I’m more than happy distracting you from talking to other people in this thread, you aren’t contributing

    Your insecurities are making you act abusively, and now you seem to be acknowledging your trolling and using it as a justification for this sort of behavior. You don't care about contributing to the conversation, nor do you care about following the community's rules. Sir, this is a Wendy's subthread about the rise of popularity of something in a Comic Strips community.

  • Yes, when you create an environment about no clear definition about something, you can gaslight about it all you want.

  • Hard disagree.

    You are right in one sense, what counts as popular is extremely relativistic, subjective and context-dependent. That's the entire point of my observation. The context was popular culture, and they are the ones who brought it there.

    The hard disagree is on how popular it was before, which you wouldn't have to rationalize with the "a majority of a major minority" word juggling definition. Outside of those bubbles, significant as the slang may have been within them, it was not popular, and it shouldn't be hard to see why: one was slang limited to use within certain social groups, and the other arose from attempting to mock anything they couldn't openly do so under prejudice which essentially forced it onto popular use and awareness onto the rest of society.

    Not sure why people get so vent out of shape about recognition what is and what isn't popular in popular culture, as if that were somehow some sort of personal or moral value judgement.

  • I don't think you get the meaning of popular.

  • It really was not a popular term. Ironically, they are the ones who ended up appropriating it and making it popular.

  • The racist uncle knows how absurd this would sound. That's why they use the term "woke" instead.

    You do you, which apparently means skipping over the conditionals of my comment. If that's your attention to detail, then you should definitely stick to the right lane. Here, have some articles which are actually nuanced about how changing lanes can contribute to traffic, hopefully they'll instill a greater sense of awareness.

  • Fun fact: some car speedometers are usually set to show speed faster than what you are actually driving at, which can be tested with GPS. Also, the German Autobahn exists and limits are generally set to prevent accidents when accidents are liable to occur.

    When people are generally horrible about determining when they have to drive carefully (or simply because local governments need more funds), they get treated as hard limits, but enforcement and usage varies widely. It and the backlash it would receive is the reason traffic enforcement hasn't begun requiring and/or subpoena'ing people's routes through GPS to automatically fine them when they exceed the limits, something they could easily do in today's world. If you take that as saying that you can drive however you want though, you just need another asshole like yourself to have an accident.

  • It depends on the flow of traffic. The rightmost lane makes sense when there isn't slow and frequent traffic in it and there isn't someone going faster behind you, otherwise you are creating more traffic by constantly switching lanes and making everyone else deal with it. It also depends on whether the lanes are going to be bifurcated or have to deal with exits or entries.

  • How popular is it against other distros? First I've heard of it (admittedly doesn't say much since I'm used to the older ones), which makes me wonder how close to a million people did. Did influencers spread the word or something?

  • Advancements in mass surveillance and forensics called, they asked why you don't acknowledge them anymore.

  • If this bubble doesn't pop soon, I expect a memory card thefts to start making the headlines. Small and easier to carry off while being more expensive than some jewelry of the same size.

  • Yeah, there are some bigots and dickheads too.

  • The problem is usually wealth inequality. The residents have to compete with the tourists for resources, but most of what they could get in return gets gobbled up by late stage capitalism. Most people who have a direct relation to tourism to how it benefits them in their lives have no problem with it.

  • I'm sorry, I don't accept multiplication from any base other than base 13.

  • At least they are taking the masks off and revealing themselves, so there's that.

  • I'd love for someone to go Miss Piggy on his ass.

  • Besides opening up and viewing a lot of these sites on private tabs, I'm just getting used to cleaning all cookies after I finished checking up what I wanted.

  • It's sort of funny they have the reputation as one of the least corrupt countries in the world. It's funny because when you say that something is incapable of being vulnerable in some way, that means at the very least that they are fertile grounds waiting to invite it.

    The public does not consider corruption a major problem in Danish society means those that are corrupt can get away with more because of less supervision. The OCDE has serious concerns about the lack of enforcement of bribery paid by Danish companies abroad and the Danske Bank money laundering scandal, which was the largest money laundering scandal ever in Europe and possibly the largest in world (at least until the Trump era), involved - you guessed it - Russian (among other USSR remnants) money laundering. Denmark will do what is good for Denmark, but Denmark is not the EU.
