general

there is something I just don't like about the thing

I agree, you can absolutely use it as a soft way of saying you hate something, but that is a specific use of it, and definitely not the one I ever use

I use it when I don't like something that I think is probably "objectively" good

often with food

less so with music

I know this b/c you do this all the time lol

Or you can go the efap approach of "I personally dislike it but acknowledge it has objective quality"

I don't?

name a single thing I said is not my favourite, that I actually hate

instead of me liking it, but just not loving it

I hate that kind of person Gent

hmm

maybe it's

just the way you describe things in general

that's just different from how I describe things

Yeah pika, you say it all the time Emoji44

I recall

the mili song for the lesbian show

Also not one of my favourites of theirs

you described it in a similar way

and I thought it was weird

again, I really like the goblin slayer songs

I think I dislike "one of my favorites" as a saying more

idk, I swing back and forth a lot

I like one of my favborites

but I hate

Spooky

.

defining what exaclty my favorites are

yeah, idk how to describe the nuance

Coming from someone who has a tendency to be way too literal: When I say something's "not my favorite," it's usually between above average and good but not great.

So yeah, I'd agree more with Pika, with it being ~7/10

I love that the university does this cringe shit

we are not giving the land back, but we sure will pretend we care

shit wait we post like the same thing all the time one sec

ehh can't find a good example

but like all the time in our newsletter they are like, o yeah this school is built on stolen land

my boss always signs with that at the bottom

we got a lot of natives up here, well really just not alot of non-natives, no one lives up here

they control most companies, institutions, like all of social media

People of crime

theyve won

what do we got?

Who dude, enough of the antisemitic remarks

some discord servers

youtube comments

ye great opposition

so now that i have your attention

imho tho, i think itll change once the new generation of stockholders takes over

I'm not fully convinced that constantly changing what black people are called isn't just black people trolling white people.

isnt it just that it becomes lame when white people start using it

We called ourselves colored people, then said it was racist, to call us negroes. Then that was racist, call us black. Then that was racist, call us African-American. That was not only racist, but not "inclusive" enough, call us people of color.

Which is somehow different than colored people.

then it went back to black

for a bit

which was the funniest one

I thought it was "BIPOC" now 🤣

It is now, but before that

it went back to just black

sorry, Black

they are very insistent it must be capitalised

Eh, in that case I'll just be like,

sorry, german Ancestry, only capitalizing Nouns.

I think BIPOC is funny because it lets some black people choose not to identify with the rest

It's also complete doublespeak of the talking points of that sphere of people, who say you can identify as any gender, but you cannot identify as a separate race than you are, but the I in BIPOC is black identifying person of color.

everything has to be an abbreviation nowadays btw

ikr?

frfr

linguists of the future will weep

pwn dat n00b w/ULHx & WTG FTW

abbreviations have their place, for long things with no shorter term, or for super common use pharases

r0x0rz, b0x0rz...

BIPOC is stupid because Black exists

just say black

POC is implied

Person of cringe

and if you would say you are BIPOC, no shit you are identifying

There's even less of a point when it has "Black" in it.

It makes the set theorist inside me weep
