Without the super toughness, I have some bad news for you

I’m just glad I didn’t get banned for answering a question with references

It’s not removed from my post. Seems like some of your readers or federated instances are filtering that word out for you.

English history is full of “that foreign word sounds sexy so let’s make a version of it”

Back from this rabbit hole and brought gifts:

It’s been in use since the 16th century by English speakers. Basically it was just an anglicization of the Spanish or Portuguese negro. At the time it was seen as neutral by white folk, but it’s also always been tied to slavery, so definitely not neutral from the pov of the slaves.

So did its use imply a power imbalance? Yes. Did the white folk who used it early on know? Maybe…?

I guess it’s similar to using “Indian” to describe New World Native peoples. It’s always been tied to expansionism and genocide, but from the pov of the oppressor that connotation isn’t readily recognized.

It’s only ever you in there. They just put away the props, take off the makeup, and get ready to argue about which color of pants should go with those shoes your spouse hates but you like so much.

Don’t you basically only need to change the pronouns you use to ask about their Significant Other, and maybe change the “when are you going to have kids?” to “when are you going to adopt a kid?”.

Starts with a “oh shit these old people have expensive healthcare needs!”, proceeds to “how the hell are we going to pay for their elder benefits?” (Social Security in the US), and eventually to “even their houses got gobbled up by the banks and private capital when they had to reverse mortgage their homes to pay off their medical bills and live out their final days…”

Come back!

Burping and farting are tiny, but if we’re talking gasses and changing weight, the vast majority of the mass you lose from fat when you lose weight actually comes out in your breath.

Why do you think they’re buying so much AI shit right now? To filter through the noise for whatever they want to find. People aren’t the bottleneck anymore.

You don’t need much in terms of documents to pay off a couple guards, open the door and doctor a couple recordings.

Unless…

If you’ve got your cute lil kid in that cart then the meme holds up
