Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.
Has nothing to do with country. Discs are round objects. In the computing sense that’s cds, dvds, etc.
Disks are floppy disks(diskette, “discette” never existed as a word) , hard drive disks… etc. There is a difference and it has nothing to do with what land you’re in. Disk in usa never meant a circular object like a Frisbee (discus for example)
Given our current economic system and supposing that you can’t change it for now, how would you support a living for media creators (movies, shows, games, art, music, whatever)?
They don’t deserve support if they stand behind a company that waives off liability of a death because of a completely unrealted EULA.
He is suing both Disney and the pub. The pub obviously because they were negligent and Disney because it is in Disney World. It is up to the court to decide how much liability Disney should have vs. the pub, if any.
It could very well be in the contract with the pub that Disney requires allergenic options to be available and the space doesn’t have sufficient space to keep those ingredients separate. In such an instance Disney absolutely bare a significant amount of responsibility.
Now deploy to the middle east and have just a row of holes in the ground… Squatty potties.
Edit: Optional is if it’s located indoors or outdoors…
Yeah… While admittedly discussions like this one are far outweighed by the negative uses of the term; when discussion is happening where clarity is more relevant than appeasing the euphemism treadmill censorship sucks.
https://lemmy.saik0.com/comment/3423797 should get you to the original version. My instance doesn’t censor.

Jeez, you’re really out here word policing when it’s clear we’re simply talking about the word… You know… not actually attributing it.
You act like just saying “Negro” with no context is any better.
Just like your namesake, you’ve added nothing to the discussion except a bit of toxicity.
Not according to the etymology. https://www.etymonline.com/word/nigger
1786, earlier neger (1568, Scottish and northern England dialect), negar, negur, from French nègre, from Spanish negro (see Negro).
All of these languages are latin-based languages… So there must be a latin root. If you dig further you find
from Latin nigrum (nominative niger) “black, dark, sable, dusky” (applied to the night sky, a storm, the complexion), figuratively “gloomy, unlucky, bad, wicked,”
So yes negro exists in the middle but not as the source necessarily… It would have evolved (if I read the etymology correctly) as Nigrum -> Niger -> Negro/neger/negar/negur -> Nigger.
But neither is your skin colour expressed in Latin.
Niger is Latin… Nigger is not.
While I’m generally not sensitive to these things, claiming something that’s factually not true as a defense of the word is just not okay. Use the word if you really want to use it. If you use it in any other way other than academically (such as discussing the word in of itself)… don’t surprise pikachu when people shun you for it.
So question… How much of a % before it counts? We all shat on Elizabeth Warren (rightfully so IMO…). Considering that Kamala is majority Indian… and some minority white… that leaves some amount less than half “black”. With it being truly unknown what that amount is. What counts?
My sister is half white/half black. Dead down the middle genetically. She’s been called white nearly all her life just because she is lighter skinned. How come Kamala gets to claim it when my sister can’t who ostensibly is more black?
He is confused thinks Harris is Hailey. […] He fucking weird and a confused old man.
No he’s not. Kamala is open about her Indian heritage… https://youtube.com/watch?v=xz7rNOAFkgE
There is nothing wrong with mentioning her heritage that she openly identifies with. However, being so focused on race at all is just disgusting in general.
Her Indian heritage is so well documented (https://people.com/all-about-kamala-harris-parents-donald-harris-shyamala-gopalan-7974352 as an example) that it’s a bit disingenuous to claim that Trump is confused based on this fact. It’s also well known that after her parents divorced that she stayed with her Mother primarily. It could even make sense that she identifies more as Indian rather than “black” (Jamaican in this case)…
TL;DR: He’s not confused, he’s just an asshole.
Wow… Both other people who commented here are fucking heartless.
The man was just trying to help the homeless people and keep his neighborhood safe
The relative said Housman was trying to settle an argument between two homeless campers on Clinton when one of the campers stabbed him in the throat.
While many residents were nervous and wary of the homeless campers, Housman had a different approach: to make the neighborhood safer, he appointed himself “sheriff” and began to screen homeless campers and then provide them with support once they gained his approval.
During our interview, another neighbor pulled up, claiming that Housman provided electricity to the homeless campers.
Ya’ll are dicks. Read the article. He was a good dude and epitomized the exact shit you espouse. You don’t want cops involved… you want the community to police itself and do good. This guy was doing just that. Doing way more to help these people than you do.
I’m sure you were… But what does that have to do with what they said?
