Some words just have more than one definition is all. It’s not about me, it’s about the dictionary.

Xenophobia isn’t a medical term. All the examples you listed are xenophobia.

I was giving the Lee Lemon thing as an example where I agree Kif’s reaction was homophobic, saying it was the only such example I could think of.

The patrons are responding to the way he’s performing. Zapp is broadly a parody of Captain Kirk and this scene was a reference to William Shatner’s infamous spoken word cover of Rocketman, at least until Zapp fully broke down and started wailing the name of the woman who hates him. The only reason the song is Lola is because that’s a famous song you can easily swap Leela’s name into.

I swear I remember a Kif reaction, too, by the way.

I only remember one instance of Kif being homophobic, when Zapp says Lee Lemon is filling him with “other emotions that are weird and confusing.” Not wanting to constantly see your commanding officer naked isn’t homophobia.

And his annoyance when Zapp sang a name-swapped version of Lola was about how Zapp is acting toward Leela by doing that rather than the subject matter of the original song. Zapp even replaced the trans subject with a cis one, what could a transphobe even be objecting to?

It would greatly benefit your argument to provide another possible explanation.

Could you give an example of a web page that doesn’t work right on it? I’ve never noticed browsers differing like you describe.

Jack

As an actual name by itself, not the typical John and then using Jack as a nickname for it.

Flat Earth.

It’s not the most immediately shocking, not the most colorful and dramatic, but there are two factors where no other conspiracy theory can compete:

1. It is so easily falsifiable that basically more people would have to be in on the conspiracy than not.
2. Nobody would stand to gain anything from the lie.

What these questions are missing is that the government didn’t start from a place of neutrality, they started by enforcing the institution of slavery. They didn’t go from having no authority over slavery to having all of it, rather the authority they had remained static. The only variable for the amount of authority then is that the classes of “slave” and “slave owner” stopped being a thing, so there were no longer slave owners that had absolute authority over slaves.

You’ve now described a second scenario in which authority is being removed and not added.

No.

It is literally removing authority.

Do you think short people are living an unhealthy lifestyle?

It doesn’t make you a bad person but it’s not a healthy way to spend your time. It creates a feedback loop of finding things that upset you, ineffectually combating them, getting upset at the lack of positive results, and trying to fix that dissatisfaction by finding more things that upset you to fight against. You’ll think of it as a way to entertain yourself but, on balance, you’re the one getting the most stressed out by it.

If you want to troll the far right, you’re better off trying to do that in spaces where other people can see you doing it because that has an actual possibility of affecting their behavior. Real life, for example.

If there was a time in the past that we were capable of solving our problems, why didn’t we do it then?

“Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible,” Mr Dadayev reportedly said.

Then ban that?

I’m not saying the goal here is in any way acceptable, obviously, but mostly it weirds me out how indirect and ineffectual this method is. So much of the outside world’s musical culture makes it through this filter.

Any interaction with any salesperson.

Not a one for me. Probably not random, though; I have targeted advertising turned off. Probably you’re recognized as being in a specific demographic they want. Change your settings and see if they go away.

Didn’t this problem get solved years ago with pretty much just a digital scale that didn’t let in anything heavier than the weight of the cat?

• Rayman Origins
• Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I actually don’t like any other Ubisoft games enough to put on a list next to these three. That’s not to say everything else is bad, just that the okayness of other things I like kind of blurs together and makes it impossible to say one is better than another.
