Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

The predestal/respect bit in my comment was about this post as a whole. IMO, the screenshotted person does not deserve to be paid attention to. They are not revealing anything new by any means while choosing to make the problem worse.
I don’t know what anyone being in my family has to do with anything. My response is the same: if you are unhappy enough to complain out loud about something you are helping cause, either do something about it or shut the fuck up.
That’s all good and well and I agree with you, but I also believe if you have and are continuing to feed the machine, then you don’t get to be put on a pedestal or respected for recognizing how bad the machine is. This person is repeating something that is already very well known and accepted and is simultaneously adding to the alarm while causing it. I have extremely low patience for that particular brand of person. They are continuing to cause the problem they are rallying against.
If I were face to face with this person, I’d genuinely say “either quit working there or shut the fuck up.”
“im a henchman for a bad guy…and lemme tell you…I think we might be starting to do bad stuff…not sure yet…”
Thanks bud

woop_woop@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"?0·8 months ago2010, simply because of how english works.
If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.
And it’s more garbled and slower to say “twenty oh one” vs “two thousand one”, especially if you’re speaking quickly.
“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

Seriously, fuck off with the AI shit. At best it’s intelligent regex. And “intelligence” here means a specific thing.
woop_woop@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of twoEnglish2·1 year ago1: I wholeheartedly believe being a whistleblower is a courageous and brave act. Full stop.
2: drawing conclusions as to why these people decided to speak up when they did without hearing it from them is nonsense.
3: assuming and repeating a John Gresham novel from news articles between corporations and their whistleblowers is not only buying into a conspiracy theory, but is also parroting it.
4: partaking in these conspiratorial shenanigans helps no one and isn’t something to be waved away as harmless - otherwise, what’s the difference here and qanon?
woop_woop@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of twoEnglish2·1 year agoIf the “bravery” and admiration comes against the idea of assassination, then it completely matters. Idk why you’re hand waving the nonsense here
woop_woop@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of twoEnglish22·1 year agoI’m on your side dude, the response here is kinda nuts.
woop_woop@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of twoEnglish198·1 year agoWell…the first dude did say something about Boeing killing whistleblowers and the bravery of others to step up in defiance of that.
So that whole line of thinking is conspiracy theory stuff with no real proof and it is being parroted here. Granted, usually the assassination stuff is usually tongue in cheek, but the top comment seems a bit crazy.
Yeah, I believe the phrase is short for the weather:
What’s the weather doing?
It is raining.
