the PC subplot of recent South Park season was really great. all the PC bros were just virtue signaling. that & PC language is an excuse to jump down the throats of people who badspeak
Purse.io is great in a bull market (basically taking profits when you spend), but punishing in a bear market when you want to HODL. 15% discount doesn't matter if you're 20% down this week.
Now we get to the point. You proyected your inner hatred on my helpful advice not to use a word that creates so many misunderstandings between peaceful humans. Thank you
Thanks for your help, it's really noble what you're doing.
This is IMO the true danger of PC. Anyone with half a brain can avoid a list of 10 slurs and be as bigoted as they want because society is hyperfocused on language policing.
If we paid attention to what people were saying rather than how they said it (i.e. we stopped caring if they use "bad words" and just listened), we would catch more bigotry, not less.
Political correctness is partly based around that, people pay lip service to it to reap the benefits from being seen as virtuous without having to do any good deeds or even believing it.

e.g. "if you report this the company is dead" vs "if you report this you'll go to hell and the church will look so bad that many others will turn away and go to hell too"
Rape/child abuse is pretty up there at the limit of mortal suffering, to outweigh it you need something beyond mortal pain, or a "higher power".
Agreed, but I would say there's a limit to what people will ignore for the sake of a secular organisation which is harder to surpass within a religion.

Any institution or organization concerned with their reputation will tend towards that behavior, it is the general norm not the exception. But the more power and authority the worse.

The point was not about generalizations but about a specific word? Read the first message and we can finally get to an end. Or don't you want to understand it?
I understood, I just think you were being a patronising dick telling someone else to forget a word because it "obviously confuses" them, so I pointed out your own word choice sucked.
The world average that is documented (which is likely under reported) is 10/20% which is disconcerting, hope for a future with percentages tending towards 0.
The fuck? So in Europe & US, 10% of people were sexually abused as kids and in Asia it's 20%? Congrats on teaching me the worst fact I've ever learned in my life.
Mormons are pretty nice in general, shame that apostasy has a social stigma though.
Also a shame how badly they treat victims of sexual abuse/rape (both in the Church and at universities like BYU): with ostracism, cover-ups, public shaming and more abuse.
Will BCH ever have full blocks (outside of stress tests and unforeseen spikes)? Seems like no, even with global adoption, if current policy of raising blocksize limit well in advance continues
Actually, not true. Some have had them surgically removed & some are born without. Either way, it is a serious medical issue. Most people have them, though.
And some have them surgically constructed as treatment for said medical issues, permitting any surgeon with halfway-decent bedside manner to say they're gonna "rip you a new asshole"
I totally understand so i told you (last message) that the whole comparison is pointless. What is it that you want to proof?
You admonished John_Doe for making a generalization because those are pointless. I said you too were making a generalization of your own, which would be pointless on your own terms.
First we need a von Neumann swarm... spacefaring drones which can harvest materials from asteroids and 3D print whatever we want, including copies of themselves.
First get them to self-replicate into a hugely productive distributed factory and then start printing solar panels, ships, space stations, Death Stars, whatever we want.
Start the Dyson Swarm. Become a K2 civilisation. Dismantle Murcury for material, and preserve Earth for posterity, if not strip it for parts.
