i'm sittin on the floor now. I hear it's comfy down there.

Fuck it, i might even lay down a little.

KillingTimeItself ,

a proper slavic squat is pretty good but can stiffen up the knees after a long while.

I hear the ground is omnipresent though.

KillingTimeItself ,

this is the monthly post of someone realizing that crowds of people in public venues, particularly large ones, draw snipers.

Love to see it.

KillingTimeItself ,

wouldnt be a comment about snipers if someone didnt post furry tf2 i suppose

KillingTimeItself ,

go to project2025.org or whatever the fuck the link for the page it, it explains it there reasonably well.

KillingTimeItself ,

man this reminds me of that post i commented on that was on the hexbear instance...

it got removed and im pretty sure i was banned, idk what the fuck those guys are smoking over there lmao.

KillingTimeItself ,

it really is. I posted one comment, woke up the next day being called a genocide supporter, having my comment removed (don't know why, didn't read the rules, nor will i) and being banned.

Truly only the most hexbear of interactions.

KillingTimeItself ,

smells like it with how aggressively they prune things.

WTF is going on with the world? Why are there so many manufacturing jobs that require rotating schedules? Are they just trying to destroy your soul and your health? ( sh.itjust.works )

I have been looking for manufacturing, assembly, production positions all over the Midwest. It's absolutely shocking how many of them want you to work rotating shifts....

KillingTimeItself ,

i like that you only have to work 2/4 weekends in a month. That's pretty cool.

How nice and thoughtful of them.

KillingTimeItself ,

and we certainly wont be in a few hundred years lmao.

KillingTimeItself ,

because it's smaller than a pixel :)

KillingTimeItself ,

but that means the US owns the moon, so it's ok.

KillingTimeItself ,

there ya go.

KillingTimeItself ,

idk man i think we would win in a war against the moon.

KillingTimeItself ,

what the fuck is this image? Is this new new biology?

KillingTimeItself ,

i have not seen rat balls, but i'm going to assume they don't look like the spire from fucking city 17

KillingTimeItself ,

but if you literally had nothing to do in your life, you would grow bored, and start doing something the human condition is to create things.

Why do you think we industrialized?

KillingTimeItself ,

must sell snake oil...

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah see im confused because i thought that's what we were already talking about, but then people started talking about it again like it wasn't already understood.

I did not pick up on it.

KillingTimeItself ,

we are now in the process of cooking my friends.

Support your local darknet if you do not like censorship and violation of our rights

It's free :)

KillingTimeItself ,

well actually, counter point, i do want the elections to deliver the result i want, which is a functional system that represents its people fairly.

KillingTimeItself ,

guys, im starting to think that this ronald guy was kind of a shit head.

KillingTimeItself ,

schoolwork builds habits and work ethic?

If anything it just taught me that life is bullshit and nothing matters because it's all manufactured, but maybe that's what i get for not being impressionable.

KillingTimeItself ,

its probably a series of bonks intermixed with EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

KillingTimeItself ,

we love a good psychotic anarcho capitalism posting in this household :)

KillingTimeItself ,

that's cool, so what are we doing for people who are hopelessly broken?

KillingTimeItself ,

cool, so i get to moo at people to pretend like im normal, cool.

KillingTimeItself ,

i don't think i'm getting it, can you moo at me for example?

KillingTimeItself ,

sure, good enough.

KillingTimeItself ,

damn, they finally shook off the space gremlins, i was enjoying them.

KillingTimeItself ,

wait until you find out what they didn't do with shit like websites.

KillingTimeItself ,

oh come on, you're gonna work on voyager, be pissed off for about a week at a time, after running into a really fucking annoying issue, and then once you solve it, repeat that a few times and when it's shipped to production you've basically married the fucking thing by that point.

KillingTimeItself ,

ok to be clear, maintaining and upkeeping a property IS actually a job.

However it also requires that you well, do the job. There are a lot of people that housekeep for others, that's a job. Landlording is theoretically, a subset of this, in the other direction. But in reality, it's not.

Regardless, i think renting homes should be illegal.

KillingTimeItself ,

people keep telling me that i should just "do things"

But i don't think people understand how my brain works. "just doing something" is not something that is possible. The line between me doing something, and me consciously doing something, is very very big. To be honest, i don't even know why i do shit sometimes, i just fucking do it.

amusingly enough.

KillingTimeItself ,

man i can't wait until 20 years from now when scientists find out that this is actually like, really fucking common or some dumb bullshit like that.

Or at least i hope that happens, because it would be very funny.

KillingTimeItself ,

i'm guessing the generic is very common, but the specific event here is very rare. Like a unix time party for instance.

KillingTimeItself ,

explain this but without the emojis?

KillingTimeItself ,

words spoken by someone who has spent 30 years studying the reproductive cycle of the cockroach

KillingTimeItself ,

i just want to hope that tumblr never fucking changes

KillingTimeItself ,

so far the best e waste recyling i've seen so far is warehousing it and reselling it to nerds who want it for cheap.

And anybody else who would ever want it also i suppose.

KillingTimeItself ,

too bad we can't prevent these massive companies from producing shit loads of e waste or anything.

If only that would help.

KillingTimeItself ,

hmm, let's see.

It's not java.

It's also not a scripting language.

also to the repeat grammar nazi in the comments here, hi, "its"

KillingTimeItself ,

How are guns going to solve oppressive legislation?

they aren't. At a federal level, and even a state level, they won't. As for the doing it for decades part, it's because they're pansies who like to dick ride on a concept that makes them feel better. For some reason.

Regardless, it's technically a non answer, but this is also a form of a non question. "why would you need to own a gun" can range from literally anything to "i hunt" to "sport" to "self protection" to "self protection but from the wild" to "the sock pill" There are a million and one reasons someone could own a gun. And a million and one purposes for it to serve.

KillingTimeItself ,

when did i use a homophobic slur? I'm genuinely confused.

For what it matters, which is probably none, i'm ace. And pretty fucking gay for one.

KillingTimeItself ,

to be clear, i googled pansy prior to this, and the only thing that came up was the flower, so i figured it must not be important. Anyway it's literally defined as "a weak man" Which is exactly how im using that, specifically to describe a specific type of right winger. Who could arguably be defined as "weak men" oh and also, i've used that word a lot to define people. I've never once been yelled at for using it, even though i hang around quite a few queer people on the regular. This is my first instance of such, maybe it's becoming a slur now? I don't know. I would think it used to be a slur about 30 years ago, but probably not anymore. I could be wrong, if you have the etymological history of the word at the ready feel free to bring it out.

also i know it doesn't matter, i just thought it would be funny to mention it. The usual "i can't be racist because i have a black friend" joke type beat. I mean, it's the internet after all, if we can't shitpost, then why bother doing anything at all. Right?

Anyway, I can claim to be absolutely anything on the internet, perhaps you should go have a look through my post history, and find out that i'm relatively neutral to everything, except for people explicitly denying others rights. I'm unsure if you're calling me pro-gun, i'm not, i would appreciate it if you didn't pull shit out of your ass, and try to define me as such when i could literally just be making fun of you to amuse myself (i'm not) seems rather hypocritical for you to tell me that i can't state who i am, and then for you to explicitly state who i am, if you are doing that.

Speaking of the pro-gun community, there are a lot of problems in it, notably the fact that there seems to be a specific subset of people who fully "back" 2a, only to immediately double back on it when they realize that it means queer/left leaning people get to own guns because "well it makes me feel unsafe" which for someone who opposes all forms of gun control because "it violates 2a" seems rather authoritarian to me.

but yeah no, continue to tell me how i'm a piece of shit righty, even though i'm not, and continue to exclaim that i'm homophobic even though the contextual usage of that word makes literally zero sense in a homophobic manner. How many gay pro 2a "the government isn't going to take our guns away" conservatives do you know? Definitely not enough to classify it as such.

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah, and just because it's still technically a slur, doesn't make it automatically offensive. There are a lot of words that we use now that used to be highly offensive, and vice versa, the times change, language adapts, people move forward.

Queer used to arguably be a slur, though more accurately a derogatory term. Now it's literally in the acronym of LGBTQ. A lot of people call themselves queer.

Regardless, looking into the history of the word pansy, it seems to predate the slur usage of it. At a time when women generally had a different place in society, and men were considered to be much more physically active, for lack of a better descriptive term. It quite literally just defines itself out to "a man who is as physically strong as a women" which given the time period, explains the insult. That shifted over time to mean "effeminate" which is basically just the same thing. And was picked up as a slur. And is now currently defined as a slur because nobody uses it anymore (except for me, because i think it sounds funny)

so in some effect, the definition you're using, exists based on the definition of it from hundreds of years ago. And it was just co-opted by shitty people. Hitler manufactured a lot of industrialized weaponry. I don't see anybody calling industrialized weaponry offensive towards jews. Likewise i see no reason for slurs to be offensive when not used in the context one would expect it to be used in.

Part of the reason why slurs are so offensive, is because they're used to denigrate a certain group of people. Of which, i am not doing. Perhaps i'm wrong about the historical definition of this word in particular, but from my knowledge slurs are sourced from words with related meanings, and the thing that makes it a slur, is the colloquial/societal usage of that word at regular, in that context.

In fact, the very definition of the term slur itself is generally used to describe things that "are roughly like this" or more homogeneous. Which ironically, given the typical usage of slurs, and how they generally work. Lines up pretty well with my definition of them. If what it meant was all that mattered, then we wouldn't be here right now arguing the contextual relations of the slur itself, because everybody would agree with you when you state that "what it meant" matters more than "who it was used on" and like i've said, so far you're the only person that's particularly upset about this.

It’s defined as meaning “a weak man” because people used to accuse those “weak men” of being homosexuals

or was it that it was being used to accuse homosexuals of being "weak men" questions and answers that will never be satisfied...

KillingTimeItself ,

first of all, i'm not using google. So.

Second of all, i'm not the one sitting here declaring themselves to be the all knowing martyr of etymology. Or should i say, entomology. You are literally declaring yourself to be the arbiter of what slurs are and aren't i'm merely following what people around me say i can and cannot do.

Also, dictionaries can just be wrong. Dord was an entry in the dictionary for quite a few years. It was supposed to be D or d. not Dord, but it was Dord. Because of a typo. I'm not saying the definition of pansy is wrong, but i'm also not saying it's accurate to modern usage of slang.

Pull up cap in the dictionary, see what it tells you. Google it and see what the slang means.

KillingTimeItself ,

If you struggle with figurative speech I can try and avoid using it but otherwise, you don’t score points by being deliberately obtuse.

ik i was just being obtuse because i thought it was funny, and ironic. It's the internet, nobody takes anything seriously here.

Bullshit double standards. You’re asserting that arguing over the definition of a word is “declaring themselves a martyr of etymology”, but only when I do it – you get a free pass. You’re asserting that saying something is a slur is being “arbiter of what slurs are”, but only when I do it – the “people around you” get a free pass.

i mean if you look at like i'm defining myself as the right party, and you as the wrong party here, than sure, but that's not what im doing i'm just pointing out that you can define things differently, and that claiming a word to have any specific set of definition is not ideal, especially when generalizing the usage of the word. Plus i will note my explicit contextual usage of the word, which i mentioned numerous times, which makes it much harder for it to be the slur, because obviously, if you just used the slur against the group it was directed at, that's basically just a slur.

Also i would recommend that you read into my funny word usage, i'm just being dramatic to play it up. Words aren't that complicated and they aren't a big deal, saying anything otherwise is rather silly. Unless you're making a new one i suppose. Also i merely referenced the people around me because i tend to align with the groups that i'm involved in, and for the most part, nobody seems to really care. So, it's probably fine. I would've been yelled at otherwise. It's not like they're afraid to yell at me or something.

you’re claiming that the dictionary isn’t the ultimate authority on words, people are.

Yes. Is that not what the entire point of a dictionary is? To commonly define the usage of a word as people use it at a specific point in time? I feel like that's pretty much the only use case of a dictionary? It's not like we make up words to use because it's fun.

But as we’ve already figured out, the bullshit caveat to that is that those people have to be your friends for that authority to count.

you say that like it's a group of 5 people whomst i regularly interact with or something, and to be fair, it is a relatively small group of people that i interact with on a fairly regular basis. But they are nothing like me, and that's why i interact with them lol. They're interesting people and i like hearing what they have to say. Hell we even had a discussion on this very thread itself. One of them did think it was technically slur usage, but didn't seem to care, and the other parties just thought it was funny. At the end of the day, we're all just trying to be a little amusing.

The dictionary doesn’t count, I don’t count, the opinions of the people who existed when it was a slur don’t count, only you and your friends count.

i'm not saying you don't count, i'm just saying that your opinion probably isn't the authoritarian rule behind the definition of one specific word. Neither is mine, or the people i interact with. The people who existed when it was a slur don't count mostly because it isn't that time right now. On account of it being about 30 years later. And given the pretty fucking amusing context that i used it in, they probably wouldn't care, nor would they care if they were called one today tbh. At the end of the day, it's just a fucking word, who cares, we've got more important shit to be doing.

I don’t use Google.

very funny, i appreciate this, DDG i presume? Or are we a sear type user?

One of the results is dictionary.com, which isn’t a valid authority on words

weird, wonder how they get money, and why they exist, and what classifies a dictionary as a dictionary, and i wonder why urban dictionary is so painfully accurate with slang definitions. Anyway, what was the definition they used? Probably also the slur form i'm guessing. Probably on account of being a dictionary, huh.

My friends don’t use “cap” to mean “lie” so it doesn’t mean that and has never meant that

yeah, and maybe mine do, or maybe people you interact with will, and you will be confused. Such is life, shit moves on without you, shit moves on without me. We move on without shit. Words are a socially imagined concept that come from nowhere. Why do you think the UK has such a different vocabulary than the US? Why do you think the US has different accents in different places, and why do you think they use slightly differing vocabulary depending on where you go? It's almost like words hold no significantly strict meaning.

But let me guess – those arguments are only valid when you use them.

i mean idk, you tell me. I was never arguing anything other than the fact that explicitly declaring something to be such way for such reasons, is probably not going to accurate in every situation.
