Finally got the AC working
the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family
Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making
This might be a strange post to make as an adult woman but um Tina Belcher and zeke belong together just saying
Honestly anyone who started dating when they were still young enough that their parents had to drive them has privilege
OK two things 1 why would you ever choose to buried 2 if you decided to be buried WHY would you ever be buried on your own property…..I mean I wouldn’t even bury a pet on my property because….I won’t live here…..forever….. Even if you have like some giant family farm or a malfoy family manor like…..it takes one person making a decision for someone else to own not only your land but all your ancestors bodies.
