There is no way othering will ever end well. What Descan is doing there is splitting it into an 'us' camp (LGBTQIA+ or however you like to term it) and a 'them' camp ('The Straights'). It's exactly equivalent to 'us righteous God-fearing folks' and 'filthy <censored>s'.

I appreciate that there's a massive difference between the context of the two, but that doesn't change what's actually happening. Which is, in both cases, othering. And that's not okay and will never be okay.

Amen.

I don't mean to be hurtful, and that was a bit flippant, sorry. I'm just hella on edge because we're on the verge of university being cancelled until the end of the year because of some hooligans that are, amongst other things, explicitly racist. FeelsBadMan

Stay safe :u

Kinda curious - what's the real Dwarfy? 0_o

You know, that guy I argued with constantly? Whose body you dumped in a ditch?

Nah, we're just often arguing about religion so it's a little odd to see you on my side.

Kinda curious - what's the real Dwarfy? 0_o

Pathos, obviously.

[Yoink]

*ahem* I think you mean grisha5   

[TempAcc]

grisha5 was an avatar of pathos

[TheBiggerFish]

Yes, Pathos, Pathos was Pathos.

[TD1]

Oh, that guy? Yea, he was bitchy as all get out during the whole thing. I even offered to pray for his immortal soul towards the end, but that just seemed to turn him into a raving lunatic. I was glad when the earth closed over him, I tell you.

Pathos, obviously.

Hush, you fool. Hush. That was meant to be revealed in time, after the previous bearer of this Dwarfy name was well and truly forgotten....

*ahem* I think you mean grisha5   

Nope, sorry. He was Pathos too.

grisha5 was an avatar of pathos

Holy ninja monkey. That's three times now.

Yes, Pathos, Pathos was Pathos.

Flip, four.

[TheBiggerFish]

Heh.

[hector13]

Why do y'all have to argue 'bout semantical things when I'm ill and/or asleep? Bunch o' tubes.

[Greiger]

Woke up, threw up.   I recall someone else having this problem a bit back.   Is bay 12 being used as the testing vector for some kind of internet transmitting virus?  (the real kind not the digital kind.)

I threw up on my dog.   Feels bad man.

[TheBiggerFish]

I hope not.

*hugpats*

I've been typing "fruit" so much today, it no longer seems like a real word.

For context, one of the Python tutorial exercises I've been doing at Uni is to create a fruit guessing game, because why the hell not?
The vast majority of all my variable and method names contains "fruit" somewhere.

Code: [Select]

#sample

fruitList = ["apricot", "banana", "cherry"...]
fruits = GetFruits(fruitList, 4)
for fruit in fruits:
    print(fruit)

#... etc

I hope you're still proud of the fruits of your labour.

[TheBiggerFish]

I hope you're still proud of the fruits of your labour.

Ouch.

[Draignean]

Oh dear god. I'm proof reading some of my stuff right now, and I'm not sure how in the hell I can fail to notice the number of words I simply drop out of sentences when I write. It's really rather disconcerting. Either my brain or my fingers is like a sieve, and they have no clue when they're being messed with.
