Yeah honestly this is like the Tesla “bomb” - until more information comes out to show otherwise it just did that.

Admittedly the Tesla didn’t just do that, but still…

Probably want to try Cherry MX Greens, Gateron Greens, or Kailh Box Heavys, or go straight to Kailh Box Thick Clicks.

Disengage, we already have a thread for this.

Going into unrelated discussions and replying with the content of different threads does not support your claim you aren’t astroturfing, otherwise why would you be trying to harrass me on irrelevent parts of the platform?

The name “Perfidious Albion” is more than 800 years old. You should not be surprised by our bullshit.

It’s just a stereotype.

I need you to be honest - do you not know what stereotypes are, or do you not know what racism is? Stereotyping is one of the conceptual parts of racism, so saying it’s not racist because it’s a stereotype is like saying pizza isn’t Italian because it’s from Naples.

stopped being used offensively several decades ago, and was then repurposed into being a praise of sorts.

Could you give me sources for when this happened for “ricing” and “ricer”? Because there are a lot of people in this thread telling you that it’s still offensive, and I’m pretty sure they know a little bit more than you about racism.

not exactly how I phrased it

Yeah, no shit buddy, and your “gist” can be pretty forcibly rejected by reading these, which use some form of the term without defending it: https://hexbear.net/comment/5821220 https://hexbear.net/comment/5819913 https://hexbear.net/comment/5821145 https://hexbear.net/comment/5819994

Bold of you to assume I have smth against groups of ppl based on their race

So it’s not that you have anything against asian people, you just think it’s ok to use a term that origtinated in saying japanese people eat so much rice they even run their cars on it. Uh huh. Would you defend the N-word on the basis that it’s a commonly used word and you don’t understand why it’s so bad?

just an assumption you’re from the US

Extremely unsafe assumption, but newsflash - your ancestors don’t need to be the specific ones who invented a racism for it to be racist to act like them. If you copy someone else’s racism you are still the one being racist. You’ve been told multiple times by multiple people that the term is racist, but you’re arguing it’s not racist because you don’t know how it’s racist. Have you maybe considered you’re just not very smart and need to study racism a bit more? Maybe learn what this whole “microaggression” thing people keep talking about it?

the “wrong” ones that used the “r-word” happened to be blocked

I’m sure you can find enough examples of the word rice, ricing, and ricer to put two and two together and realise the “r-word” isn’t what got them blocked.

there is a comment from another mod that explicitly tells they’ll remove stuff using that.

No it doesn’t, because that hasn’t happened.

nor is it derogatory in its current form

Are you really not able to put together how transferring a term used to deride body modifications (using ethnic associations) to UI modifications is derogatory? Do you think it magically lost context somewhere along the way, the history of the term just disappearing into the aether?

I’d also like to play along and give you folks another (and, arguably, a more worthy) which hunt target

Stop trying to worm out of this you wretched little shit. Defend using that on the site and you’ll also get your comments removed, but we’re talking about your racism right now.

Are you telling me that you have so little understanding of slurs and their use that you think people are getting banned for saying using the word rice? You cannot be serious. How dare you think you have the intelligence to hold an opinion.

I know what you’re arguing you fucking dunce, I just told you you’re wrong. There are plenty of slurs that aren’t as bad as the n-word, you’re not allowed to use any of them. And b) doesn’t matter. You don’t use the n-word even if a black person “gives you permission”, because that makes you a fucking racist.

It’s not like black people using the N-word, it’s like white people using the n-word because a stranger on the internet said it’s ok.

aside from the use of the “r-word”

You don’t think them casually dropping a slur might invalidate their opinion on whether a different word is a slur? Fucking LLM-ass logic right there.

K gov has officially publicly announced that anyone on X who retweets an ongoing protest is a terrorist and they will be arrested. Elon musk is officially a terrorist and the uk gov has repeatedly asked usa to hand him over.

And in france it was many times in the news about a group of friends who were arrested for using Signal. A girl they tried to convince to start using signal called the police and said they are using anonymous communication called Signal and then they were arrested and all their computers taken and forensics went through all the data on their computer and judge said its criminal evidence they have ad blockers on their browser.

Could you provide sources for these, I have never heard such a thing and can’t find anything resembling either story online.

Hey fuckface, I hope your evening was shit, now are you going to continue being an antisemite or are you going to delete your comments now they’re been proven baseless.

Literally voting for your reps is not what the government of Russia is, though…

THEY HAD ELECTIONS IN MARCH YOU DUMB FUCK

IT JUST HAPPENED

THEY LITERALLY JUST DID ELECTION BUT YOU’RE SO FUCKING BUSY HUFFING YOUR OWN FARTS YOU DIDN’T NOTICE

Oh, you’re just stupid. YES SWEETIE, OBVIOUSLY THE RUSSIANS ARE FASCISTS, YOU KEEP EATING YOUR OATMEAL AND WATCHING FOX NEWS.

I will pedant your debatefetishist asshole in half, fuck face:

Let’s get up a definition of oligarchy, shall we? You’re gonna run to Wikipedia or dictionary.com so I’ll just go for Wikipedia:

Oligarchy (from Ancient Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía) ‘rule by few’; from ὀλίγος (olígos) ‘few’ and ἄρχω (árkhō) ‘to rule, command’)[1][2][3] is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.

Now, in the UK, there’s a population of around 70 million people, with 650 elected members of government and 805 unelected members, making up a rounding error of the total population.

In America, over 300 million people are represented by 535 members of its senate, plus a handful of unelected judges and executive legislators. Again, they make up a rounding error of the population.

France - 66 million, 925. Germany - 85 million, 733. Norway - 5 and a half million, 169. By all means, include the family members and hangers-on who aren’t actively in power but still weild it, and you could quadruple or quintuple those numbers. Doesn’t really matter, still comes out to a rounding error.

Maybe instead of jacking yourself off over liberalism you should take a moment to actually step back and look at the situation a little more objectively. Being able to vote for which people the power rests with does not increase the number of people welding it.

what the fuck do you think liberal western democracy is, dumbass

Imagine how stupid anachronist is gonna look when they find out we already know. Russia has been a liberal western democracy for over 30 years now.

disgusting pipelines controlled by fascist capitalists

It wasnt Germany who controlled it, it just delivered the gas to them, it was Russia who controlled it.

why would i fucking care about the rest of what you have to say, liar? You’re not here arguing in good faith, why would I bother?

1. assets plural

b. the entire property of a person, association, corporation, or estate applicable or subject to the payment of debts

2. ADVANTAGE, RESOURCE

b. assets plural the items on a balance sheet showing the book value of property owned

Hey now, something strange is going on here - see, when I visit that page, there aren’t just 3 items. Now, you wouldn’t be selectively ignoring parts of your own source to paint a certain narrative, would you? Because the 4th item I see is

4 : something useful in an effort to foil or defeat an enemy: such as
a : a piece of military equipment

b : spy

I’m sure you simply… overlooked it in your excitement. Now you’re aware though, I’m sure you’ll be happy to correct your comments.
