You would have been terrified? If you’re that scared of brown people, that’s your own issue.

I’m just saying that bath water is not discharged from the body. Biowaste might be a better word. Sorry, I know this is not an important point.

I hope you enjoy your autograph collection. :)

Correlation is not causation, friend. Okay, I admit I had to jump at the chance to use that in the opposite direction as normal.

In any group of furries, tech workers are incredibly overrepresented. Furries are a tiny amount of tech workers, to be sure.

How many trans people do you know? Has a trans person gotten mad at you for something?

Charitably, it seems like people who have never met trans people seem to think they’re balls of tinder, waiting to explode at any imagined slight. There is a lot of misinformation and propaganda out there and trans people are a punching bag.

Yes, words change a lot, and maybe someone might ask you to use a different word. That’s not an attack on you.

Yeah, you might meet someone on a bad day or there could be a misunderstanding, but, in general, treating people with kindness and respect works out pretty well.

I’ve never heard anyone describe dead skin cells as excrement. I try not to be a prescriptivist, but I’m not sure grey water is a legitimate usage.

I don’t understand it either, but using a word that most often means “fecal matter” tends to make things less attractive.

I feel bad for people who grew up with cameras on them every second of their existence. Most of the shit I did in my 20s would ruin someone’s life now. I love Gen Z. They’re more “square” but, gestures at everything.

Please send pricelist.

Maybe “engaging with someone’s physical presentation” was just always a bad idea and you’ve just recently realized that.

Treating people with kindness and respect mostly works out fine.

AI -> Actually Indians

Furry-ness is correlated to hyper specific niche interests is correlated to high paying tech jobs.

Businesses that help people get off are rarely short of customers.

I said “cut a forum by 90%”, not “a forum happens to be smaller than another”. Ask ChatGPT if you have trouble with words.

If you cut a forum’s population by 90% it will die.

This is one of the biggest problems with AI. If it becomes the easiest way to get good answers for most things, it will starve the channels that can answer the things it can’t (including everything new).

Can’t be arsed.

I’m not sure how to, and it’s not something I care about enough to figure out how. I generally think of posting here as more shouting into the void, so I don’t care very much to personalize my account.

I use Sync. I may be missing out on the perfectly simple UI that was developed to do this.

They’re actually more cotillions.

Just ftr: Everyone uses drugs about equally. They just arrest Black people disproportionately for it.

I do too. I haven’t used it in about 10 years, and this is at least the fourth computer it has been in. Maybe I don’t need it anymore, but if I throw it away, then I’ll surely have to read a DVD.

I wish.

The Gadsden flag is based on the earlier Join or Die political cartoon. It is a symbol of the American Revolution, and it is generally understood to mean an opposition to state coercion.

Which makes it a direct contradiction to the “Blue Lives Matter” flag. The popularity of the combination of these two directly contradicting statements shows that conservatives are idiots who don’t stand for anything. I call it the “Tread on them” combo.

This point has general merit, but I cannot stress strongly enough Fuck the NYT.
