  • Seeing some interesting discourse here saying some people need to get over themselves.

    Stuff isn’t always whimsical. There’s a BBQ place in my town where they call the less-spicy sauce “Sissy Sause”. I am never the one ordering, happily, or I’d be asking for “faggot sauce” to force them to own up to what they’re doing.


  • Well, turns out people in different generations, while they may on the whole share various traits, are in fact individuals with different life experiences, temperaments, and attitudes.

    That said I am seeing my own Gen-X peers turning “boomer”: entitled assholes who also attempt to turn the abuse and neglect we survived into virtues. I think a lot of this is completely literal survivor bias, but also “survivors” in terms of who gets seen and heard.



  • Exactly this. You set poverty as policy, immiserated poor people use public facilities, very often as a private place to handle their misery with drugs, and therefore are not tidy and considerate washroom users. Washrooms get nasty, people complain, and rather than house and treat poor people, we get rid of public infrastructure, shut down stores before evening, etc.


  • Two others I mourn the death of, as in, it’s more often done wrongly than not, at least on the Internet:

    “Led” as the past tense of “lead”: I basically never see it any more. People just use “lead” for the past tense; and

    Singular “die.” People just use “dice” for both plural and singular. Though I occasionally see plural “die.” I hate this.
