The white and pink thing? That's radish alright. It's similar to pink Ssam mu, which is very common in Korean BBQ, and has some tell tale signs in the pattern.

It works. Most "cool kids" aren't really, they just use (often misplaced) confidence and attract others to praise or envy them. Then when you get to the real world the rules are similar but still vastly different. Some adapt, some don't. Also contrary to TV, not everyone is even interested in the "cool kids."

Some never were interested, not in a weird hipster way, but just in a "I don't get it" way. Lots of weird right wingers think Trump is cool for some reason. Aside from hate and spite, I don't really get it. He's funny to mock, but I would never want a clown to lead me.

Nope, and at this point I don't feel like bothering. My life sucks for many reasons, but not having a partner is a pretty minor one. Many people's lives suck worse than mine as well.

My intent was not to actually complain too much about Socrates, but just use him as a more tolerable example. I generally agree with your opinion on who was in the wrong there, but part of my consideration was the reports that they knew he could flee and supposedly were OK with that, but he decided to stay on principle. Also the joke he made about them treating him like a hero for his punishment, probably not quite in good taste given the circumstances.

That aside, while I do agree with your last statement, there have also always been conmen, fame seekers, and less influential but more... annoying people throughout history, especially if they had nepotism or class differences in their side.

Eh, bards and other old actor types are kinda similar. They're doing public actions for fame and money. Wasn't Socrates also considered an asshole? Not that I'm equating these influencers to philosophers, but at the time the people considered him to be mocking their culture (religion). Not nearly as bad as mocking tragedies, but the idea of living off of attention, including being a troll, isn't new. It just usually resulted in much harsher consequences than the modern day, and usually paid less.

I can't tell my hours, because I left it open while doing other stuff, and overnight etc. Same with Ark. Both have 8k+ hourly, but FFXIV has more (but isn't in steam for me).

Maybe they picked it up from Alex Jones. Certainly one of his favorite straps, and he sucks up heavily to both. He was praising Elon's jizz in the end of a bizarre knife ad he did recently.

It wasn't even canceled. His estate pulled the books themselves, 6 of them. If I find something I said earlier in life I don't agree with (extremely easy because I used to be religious and in a cult, now neither) then have I been canceled by the radical left? (I mean, I am far more left, but not sure I qualify for radical).

Weather update! It's raining rocks from outer space.

As the op points put, it's going to be used as a reporting harassment. If it requires human intervention to decide, they might have bots or automatic actions based on number of reports.

I can respect that. I'm also a minority, and I don't go around trying to be offended by every microaggression or slightly racist thing, because that would be exhausting. However, if a friend asked me not to say something around them that they find offensive, I will respect that. I don't cuss around family members who don't like it, and my friend who hates the word cunt I don't use around her (not that I use it much anyways, unless making an aussie joke or something).

As for public people, I use it along with other things they do to check a pattern of behavior. If someone says one racist joke and doesn't harp on it too much, meh. If they do it very often and double down, I know to cut em out of my life, etc.

This one is nuanced, and extremely hard to explain to some. Sometimes it's called the hard J, or can be equated to similar terms that by themselves aren't negative, such as female and even black. You may have seen people making fun of men who use females where women could be used instead. Female is fine as a description (female dog, female body, female gender) but not as a noun "I saw this female in front of me" and such.

Similarly, if you said you saw a black man, that's fine, but if you said "I saw a black", that's considered a faux pas at best, if not racist.

In like manner, the way Jew is used can be pejorative as well. If you say "he's a Jew" as an explanation of why you don't trust someone or any negative reason, or even some supposedly positive reasons, it can be considered racist (like, "Oh, he's pretty well of" followed by "He is a Jew" would be racist).

Steve Pieczenick, himself jewish, often disparaged members of the government on Alex Jones show, and sometimes he'd say "He's a Jew" as one of his list of reasons. I mentioned the hard J, and you can hear it in some people's voices. The J sound very sharp and hard, as if in disgust. I've heard racists say it with Black as well, very hard Bl sound, but it's hard to write down in words.
