You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York) Etc.

Of course not, then it would conflict with SUNY (State University of New York)

And even more annoying, JavaScript is not correctly uppercased for common styles

f*ck. You can even occasionally get away with spelling it like this

P- iNG

When I first encountered it, it was by hearing it. It took longer than it probably should have to recognize that when people talked about “engine x”, they meant “in-jinks”

Definitely curious as well, but so far haven’t gotten around to trying

I used to do that but it would constantly nag until I connected it

if you do it deliberately it’s no different to any other weapon.

Of course but at least there’s the possibility of it being an accident. Absent other proof, such as that possession of a manifesto, you can quite possibly get away with it

On the other hand there’s no way to spin as an accident that you walked up behind someone and shot them

I have one of those for camping but never actually got to trynit

Imagine how much less beautiful the world would be if this face weren’t allowed to succeed

Jesus could come back from the dead, but could death come back from Chuck Norris?

The city is not much better. We’re all splattered when the shit hits the fan.

Or isn’t the other half of that …… if you have a toxic personality and wish to change that, there may be no single fix but to pay more attention to many small habits contributing to that toxicity.

This whole conversation reminds me of the similar one many years ago, about crude jokes and pictures/calendars in the workplace. The dominant population said exactly the same things. However now we’re all more professional and work is much less toxic, not just for women, minorities, people with different preferences, but also less toxic for us white male heteros as well. We all won that one

Are we back to the fetish-based terminology?

I just need to be able to say “GET OFF MY LAWN, PUNK”

It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪

That’s offensive too. Proper terminology is “con/noncon”

people looking for something in their sphere of knowledge to be offended about so they can feel like they are part of “a movement”

I always thought it was just people looking for something in their sphere of influence that they could do to make a difference, no matter how small.

The computing world is known for being hostile toward most out-groups, and I’ll welcome any effort to change that, no matter how small and how silly it seems. The real change needs to be in the people but perhaps being cognizant of such details will help remind us all to be more open and welcoming

So rename master-slave to husband-cattle? You’ll trigger more than vegans

It’s really a trivial change and if there’s any possibility it contributes to a hostile industry, why not? I’m not going to tell other how they feel, nor is there any real downside.

If it helps get me a more diverse candidate pool I can hire from, even better
