We use it because words mean things.420·2 days agoBut it has been watered down. Its been watered down by all the culture war weirdos who claim everyone who doesnt agree with them, is a nazi and fascist. And its not just the left aiming at the right, its fucking everyone. Dont like video game? You must be a fascist. Dont like a movie? You must be a nazi!
Its like “paedo”. That one lost all meaning as well. Even going so far as to label dating 25 year olds “paedo behaviour”. Social media, if it does nothing else, totally ruins the meaning of words in favour of gaining worthless internet up arrows by saying popular thing over and over and over and over again.

Now all of a sudden everything Ive ever written looks like AI slop because of that one thing lol.
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Has this ever happened to you?12·3 days agoI call those women… never. Had a girl turn up with a friend, everyone paid for their own drinks. And this was in the early 00s.
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Has this ever happened to you?42·3 days agoLast time a chick brought a friend with her, I got on better with the friend… And I went home with the friend. Pro tip, if youre bringing a friend. Dont make it a friend thats better to talk to than you are.

Its a boy for you. Is this your new boyfriend?” Sarah in the back ground: “Mum, stop. I’ll take it up stairs.” Her dad: “Hello, who is this?” Me: "Eh, hello. This is Benny. Im phoning for Sarah. Her Dad: "What you phoning her for? Me: "Eh… Sarah in the nick of time: “DAD!!! HANG UP THE PHONE!!!”
Or after going out for a few weeks/months
Me: “Hi, Its Benny. Its Sarah there?” Her Dad: “Hold on.” Her Dad in the background with zero attempt to cover the mouth piece: “Sarah, that wee pricks on the phone for you again.” lol
Have you seen the state of vet bills these days? Youd be yelling too.

I kinda have to say “so?”. Its apples phone, apples software, etc etc etc. Why should they allow others onto their store? If they want to, great. But why should they before forced to? Its not like its a monopoly, anyone else is free to make their own phone and software at any time. I dont really get this idea that apple has to let other people into its house, or that that if they did it would make things better.

Said she was fired because she was highlighting the abuse she was getting on twitter, in really dumb way. The fact she was posting a lot of nonsense, had nothing to do with it.
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Disney Plus Subscribers Quit in Droves Over Jimmy Kimmel AxeEnglish0·17 days agoGina got fired because she was pointing out that she was getting rape and death threats over not putting pro nouns in her bio. All that all twitter did was delete them. Carr made remarks, but he had no power to do anything. Thats why there is no legal document or order. Because it would be illegal. So the drawing of a conclusion here would be an error. There was no “threat”. It would be like me threating you to stop posting here. I have no power to force that to happen. I can say it as much as I want, but who be right to just point and laugh at me.
In any case, it doesnt matter. Its all the same shit with the same arguments, and same “well actually, this is different because…”. Gina was right to draw attention to her online attacks, and disney was right to be want to be associated with the way that she went about it, as I think we can all agree it was dumb as fuck to use Jewish people in the analogy. In any analogy in fact.
In the case of Kimmel, hes just not funny. And I wouldnt be surprised if this just all turned out to be just a way to get out of the late night talkshow game by ABC, without breaking any contracts.
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Disney Plus Subscribers Quit in Droves Over Jimmy Kimmel AxeEnglish0·17 days agoI tell ya, its fucking hilarious seeing the right and left switching sides on this. Back when Gina Carano got fired, the right were all “Cancel disney plus!!!” and the left were like “Freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences!!!”. And now its the left crying about free speech, and the right circlejerking “consequences”.
Humanity is fucked.
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”English61·20 days agoGood. We already saw the abuses of certain mods who were basically running a reddit mafia, with power over multiple subs and abused the every living fuck out of that power. Reddits mods, I cant think of anyone more deserving of having their power striped away. Ideally, it would be 1 sub, as 5 is still too many.
So, youre now going with the “she deserved to be raped. What did she think was going to happen going up to his hotel room at 3 in the morning?”???
Dont rewrite history while its still happening, mate. Saying you dont like him because X reasons is not the issue being brought up. Its the people cheering for his death, celebrating murder and worse calling for more of it. I didnt like the cunt, but I never wanted him to fucking die. But a lot of people on this very platform are drinking and cheering. And thats ghoulish behaviour. Its not about Kirk at that point, its about the people saying it.

Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd13·24 days agoNo, he wasnt. Thats just the dog shit propaganda that filled your head. You are celebrating the death of a human being, and you still have the fucking cheek to act like you were the victim because he said things you didnt like. Not that I think you actually know what he said, because whenever you google him all you get is the clickbait headlines that take everything he said sans context.
You are in a bubble thats convinced you that cheering for a man being murdered isnt just OK, its something you should do. You have “nazi” and “fascist” running around because that makes it easy to dehumanise people like Kirk to the point you dont even see a human being. Just a villain in some pantomime. And youre cheering, youre cheering for the death of a human being.
The funny thing is, youve all outed yourselves as the exact same extremists you claim to hate. Cheering for death of Kirk, and worse calling for the deaths of others. Like JK for example. Youre the same as some little kid convinced that theres virgins waiting for him in heaven if he puts on a special vest. Thats you. YOU are the cancer on society. Because YOU are the ones who cant talk, you cant only claim victimhood and call for the deaths of people who dont agree with you. YOU are the cancer. And its fucking scary how far gone you are that you cant even see, even when youre saying it.
I hope the cops are looking, and start rounding you people up who are calling for more death. You are the cancer. And I can only hope that your toxicity is finally exposed for what it actually is.

Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd25·25 days agoThen dont tell me youre the good guy. Cool?
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd15·25 days agoDoesnt really matter what excuse you come up with, its the same ones they come up with to dehumanize others, and so on and so on. At the end of the day, youre a ghoul who cheered the death of a guy because you didnt like his opinions, and you let a fucking algorithm convince he wasnt a human being. Imagine being one of his kids, and seeing people cheer that your dad is dead. You would 100% hate everyone that cheered. The context wouldnt matter, like it fucking does anyway.
Hate spreads more hate. Thats the long and short of it. And at some point, things are going to get right out of hand and you’ll be cheering as people die. Just as long as its the right people. Because god fucking forbid any of you culture warriors actually talk to each other, instead of just reading clickable headlines and being outraged.
A word is watered down when it is used to describe anything and everything. And in case you missed it, we are surrounded by idiots being idiots and doing just that.
