122·5 days agoI did chuckle inside when I read the post, so maybe.
Though I think he’s been laughing for some time now so he could be hysterical with how things have panned out.

They’ll never let you diwn either…
2·6 days agoNo, the discussion was not about whether different words were of equal or differing offensiveness. My discussion is about what saying ‘it’s a power thing’ actually means and how it relates to abusive behaviour.
I still remember Domesday, it only happened the once before ‘they’ covered it up. I’ll never forget it, so many questions.

One thing I agree with you on is that it isn’t necessarily always abuse, however the original post is about that group of friend’s chat, which I believe is abusive in nature from what has been shared (and hence why so many people have disowned them) and which you turned into (and are still rambling on about) some political somethingor another…

Again, this has nothing to do with politics.

You know nothing about my political beliefs so are shouting into thin air. (I’m not even from the US so can’t even ‘be’ a Dem! Oh boy.)

This has nothing to do with politics, did I say that already?!

What have far left (or far right, or even centrist) politics got to do with it? This is about what’s socially acceptable. Yes that feeds into politics and left/right/centre opinions, but I’m not discussing politics (nor was the person you replied to). Which ties in with my first comment that you’re combining politics with social issues erroneously.
Ultimately abuse is, abuse, is abuse, no matter how you dress it up.
So, if you were to replace ‘cocksucker’ with ‘towelhead’, slut, Yid, or Nig*** would that still just be a power thing?
Not that it actually makes a difference. This ‘power thing’ you refer to is controlling abuse for self interest. Introducing a predudice is just a way of trying to justify and/or hide the abuse.
I think you’re getting caught up in the state being abusive and controlling to it’s citizens (as Dump is doing now) and society self-regulating itself for it’s own benefit (something that happens in all social groups) as being one and the same. Just because someone calls out another person’s bad behaviour, that does not equate to supporting a dictatorial, or similarly controlling, leadership.
I don’t know Gaaga, Xenon & Xenon 2, Megablast was my Atari ST era. I remember the soundtrack/music being very good for that time.
Well I hit the right era, didn’t expect it to be that old! The game you describe does sound very familar, I’msure I’ve played it…now you’ve got my aging memory working away!
Megablast!
Horace goes skiing?
Edit, beaten to it by someone more thorough!
https://youtu.be/1bqMY82xzWo Reminds me of this, some of the discussions relate to the fear of choices and how you think you appear in social situations.
“The paradox of choice”
Sorry, don’t know how to do a YT avoiding link, hopefully a bot will add options!
Two forks perpetually stuck together and you have an uncontrollable desire to separate them, but can’t bring yourself to do it…
I’m curious who’ll get why!
Exactly! Which was my original point that this ‘power thing’ is about using/tied to abusive/instluting behaviour rather than something separate.
