Fair enough, poor fuckers don’t deserve that

Oh COME ON. This guy is actively mocking Taiwan now, too??

Damn it, Muskrat

One of the reasons I love that I’m in Germany rn. You don’t get people casually joking about Nazis then laughing it off like it’s nothing. It is literally against the law, and people treat that topic with actual respect.

I was uplifted for a minute and then I read the comments.

Guys, why is it so hard to just respect that people exist that you might not fully understand?

Chances are they just don’t talk about it

They’re just going to try to make one that’s ever so slightly better, and then patent it again

The term has been removed from most recent medical literature, because the use of it has been inseparably tied with mental disability. You can’t exactly justify calling a black man the n-word because he is a criminal, no?

Trying to find situations where it’s “okay” to use slurs as insults is creating a loophole based on opinion that will broaden with time, implying that there are individuals who “deserve” to be called slurs and those who don’t. It’s creating a divide that can be easily exploited. It’s best just to find another word.

The only appropriate use I know of is when talking about flame retardants. The word inherently means “to slow down/reduce”, so using it to describe people inherently classifies them as “slow”, another common insult term for mentally disabled people. Using it towards fire is a direct use of its wording and doesn’t have the same risks.

Basically, the damage is done and the association is there, and it can’t really be removed simply because the slur is used “accurately”, you know? It carries the harmful context with it.

My dad gave me his old Razer 2 since he doesn’t use it anymore. It’s not in great condition, but it works

There’s an app! Good to know!

Yeah, you could put a rainbow neon cord down there, you’re not seeing any of it in -20

You just had me unplugging my cable to shine a flashlight down it to look for the pins haha. Thank you for the info!

Fair enough!

Yeah, I recently made the switch from apple to Android after my second apple device in a row had a major internal hardware malfunction out of nowhere and the people at the store just went “yeah no I can’t fix this sorry, you need a new phone”, so I’m still figuring out the complex world of not apple. I didn’t even realize you had to clean the ports, but I guess it would make sense. I recently found out my android and my computer use the same port (usb-c) and I got really excited so that’s the level of “tech savvy” I’m on haha

See it’s at this point I get lost haha, but I think I’m starting to understand the gist of it

Okay, so getting information and energy to and from the phone (what a cable does), how long it lasts, how many different types of cables you’d have to buy to work with similar devices you have, length and price are self explanatory, and whether or not apple is being apple.

I think I got it, thank you!

Yeah, I’m learning that, which is exactly why I asked the question

Can someone please explain how to move to ecosia on an Android mobile device, but in tech-stupid-ese?

That, I believe, is what we refer to as an “abomination”

I’m also seeing things about not using the phone while it’s charging which is a rule I’m currently breaking as we speak. Whoops!

Is that specific to the lightning or also the usb-c?
