I like how employing the working class is now equal to "exploiting" them...

It is. Read your Marx.

Must be why the Chinese are building humanoid robots. To replace the poor exploited workers so as not to exploit them any more.

[benji]

Well, that's stupid. Socialism will just eliminate exploitation through perfect democratic organization of society, if people just actually followed Marxism for a change.

The muslims figured out how to make IRL kingdom hearts you got to respect that.

Remember when COVID happened and all the natural born shut-ins were like "WOW, the evil society is being forced into the progressive future of every job becoming fully digital, and me never leaving my home ever. All life will happen on computer! It's just like one of my japanese animes! Anything I need physically I will just order online from the magical DoorDash gnomes...  " 

Did they think advancements like that wouldn't require a dramatic increase in data center capacity, or what?

[HaughtyFrank]

More accurate would be a comic of someone writing a book about how we should ban paper

Those are different, good data centers. We should ban the bad data centers, that supply data for things I don't like. This isn't that hard, you're literally doing the comic.

They were Indian comedians playing Indians lol! That's a TAD different from white people dressing up as another race!!
Satire can challenge stereotypes, or it can reinforce them while hiding behind “it’s only a joke.”

And there’s the bigger issue of collectivisation: white people generally aren’t treated as representatives of every white person when one fictional character behaves badly. Black and brown characters, however, have historically been expected to carry the weight of representation for an entire community.

But actually why aren't there any feminists mad that the perfume bottle is a torso with tits and no face?

Sad if Radley is another person having his brain sapped by Bluesky thinking they actually oppose police militarization and support civil liberties.

Professionals in some industries, including audiovisual, theater and IT, have argued that these terms are, at best, inappropriate as direct analogs to sexual intercourse and, at worst, exclusionary in their assumption of binary gender.

Further, when people use male and female, they tend to refer to the two types of connector ends as genders. The Wikipedia entry on male and female connectors is one example. But as research over the past few decades has made clear, gender and sex are not synonymous.

Anti-diversity, equity and inclusion executive orders from the White House that aim to ban words like “inclusion” might stem the already slow movement toward nongendered terms like plug and socket.

But if history is any precedent, English speakers of the future will think the use of male and female for connector ends as odd as people today consider long-ago typical usages of “nice” to mean “ignorant” and “garbage” to mean “guts.”

[Alpacx]

Gonna call the female sex "sockets" to be inclusive.

Sounds like someone is decades behind on the current research (i.e. Erin Reed's substack).
