    I want to outline what just happened here.

    Someone posted a meme making fun of people saying two things can be bad, implying one side (Russia) isn’t really bad. Someone replies that the overt nazi stuff putin says is pretty bad.

    You reply with whatabout Ukraine nazis.

    Either you are agreeing with the point that two things can be bad at the same time, or saying that one side doing nazi stuff is fine, actually because the other side does as well. Which is it?

    There was a big push to make “African American” the politically correct term in the late 00s, but for basically every reason you mentioned, it didn’t quite catch.

    The term AAVE was coined in 1973 as a replacement for “ebonics” and it spread throughout the 80s and 90s. There’s a bunch more info about it on the wiki and I don’t think I can succinctly summarize it, but it’s an interesting read.




  • My experience has been finding a 5 step solution to a problem, with step 3 not working properly and requiring several hours of effort to find a workaround, finding an entirely different solution elsewhere (that also doesn’t work), then discovering there’s been a flatpack the entire time.

    Still have bazzite on my shitty 10 year old laptop because it cannot possibly run windows at this point, but I don’t think I’d daily drive it.
