I think the primary thing is that he mouthed off about something he didn’t understand, and then doubled down at every possibility. The scrutiny generated by this has then revealed that he’s objectively not a good programmer, which begs the question why he feels he has any authority at all in this arena. I haven’t heard of any egregious harassment heading his way over this, so I’m curious why you’re so invested in defending him.

Unfortunately, I only learned that h3 was fully off the rails after snark got pseudo-locked. All I know about Destiny is that JonTron said the white supremacist stuff to him and that he is generally agreed to suck.

As someone who had never heard of him before, this has been amazing. It’s like Lemmy woke me up to tell me a new lolcow just dropped.

I think the big point of confusion is why it’s cheeky to go to this restaurant.

He’s referencing a legitimate talking point about birth control, and in that light his comment made perfect sense. The whole second half of this thread reads like you got whooshed and then double downed after you realized what happened.

Did… did you click the link?

Because vertical pong would feel too much like breakout?

After thinking about it, I’m pretty sure it’s because the players will be sitting side to side, and would therefore find it easier to immediately associate with their paddle.

Wait, are we talking gigaseconds now?

You are on desktop. You have so many ways to deal with that problem it’s not even funny.

I’m 80% sure that’s Chris Evans.

They’ll ship in non-union employees (either managers or those who have chosen to leave it) and run the store with that skeleton crew, possibly rush-hiring non-union employees too.

The person in the picture definitely has a slightly unusual figure, I think exaggerated by their clothes, which could be perceived as a generation error. The image also has a certain painterly tone to the colors that resembles that of an AI image.

Their other channel, Boy Boy, is doing some of the most aggressive leftist propagandizing on YouTube.

*Volt, but I like your safe-themed version

You touched on the point there, although you might argue it’s only a semantic difference. If you accept that “white” isn’t a race, then definitionally, you cannot be racist against white people. Just like you can’t be racist against Muslims, at least on the basis of their religion alone. You can definitely discriminate against those groups, but calling it racism is simply incorrect.

You can also delve into a discussion about the harm done by this kind of joke. The classic metaphor is that you don’t blame the bullied kid for making fun of their bullies. There are power imbalances built into our culture, and so pretending that a joke at the expense of white people could ever do the same amount of harm as one at the expense of a racialized group is frankly ridiculous.

My comment is basically saying the same thing as your first paragraph, just in a more academic way. If it sounds like a fascist take on it, that’s only because fascism is built on taking advantage of humanity’s inherent in-group/out-group dynamics.

The real answer is that “white” isn’t really a race. It’s a socioeconomic in-group that exists to other those who aren’t collectively agreed to be a part of it. Over time, a formerly racialized group may achieve “whiteness” via assimilation, like the Irish, Italian, and Jewish populations in America.

Reddit, at least the corporation and increasingly the userbase, is definitely in the process of shifting to the right. Lemmy is the kind of alternative social media the person you’re replying to is advocating.

God damn it, did you create the Torment Nexus?
