Here's a funky quad-simultaneous-wordle thingle @.@ https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/

This article stinks of ignorance and bellendness. Complaining about "modern" or "new" terms is always a huge red flag to me, so now I have to wonder, for example, whether the The Bright Sword character referenced does in fact use she/her. Oh noes, the setting wouldn't have this one word! It does, of course, have the entirety of any English dictionary other than that word, though. Just the one is icky, like all of those pronouns the woke crowd keep _shoving down our throats! But the woke crowd don't exist in that world! The whole damn world is drastically different but this one conveniently common language is almost identical! Couldn't have been that they say "are with" instead of "have," noooo, it's one coincidentally "political" word that's gotta go. That's the one critical difference in "a fantasy setting divorced entirely from the real world" where they'd suddenly not say things the same way we would!

Does this person give a damn at all and have a crappy take, or just feel like spewing another "omfg woke newspeak agenda" wall of whinge onto... er, Forbes. Not the place I'd look first for sensible discussion of social matters. I guess a click is a click.

Hey Vassily, if Russia gets to call in a buddy to fight for them then why doesn't Ukraine?

Lot of bad jokes being told these days :-\

Well, something made me gay and trans >:3 wiggles queerly ^.^

And I did have cancer... 🤔 But all' that happened whilst with my fashy right-wing parents who tried to protect me from all forms of modern medicine and sense. Maybe it's the right whose ideas are crap and are ruining/killing America 💡

"Meh, another update post"
...
"Wait, I use that. What's new?" 😅

Sooo does Ukraine get to tag in a buddy too? Papa Putin, play fair now.

I'm guessing that's not what he's going for here.

expected to be used in an engineering role, not in a combat role

Sure, and the people they've been recruiting for "a work-study program in fields like hospitality and catering" are doing what now? I suppose we'll see if North Koreans start popping up in the "Guy smekalkas himself a UAV-dropped bomb to the dome" videos.

You help us, we do not accidentally touch you

1. If you can choose to not do it, it's not an accident
2. How are you going to avoid "accidentally" hitting someone whose identity and location you don't know? Makes more sense to ask for civilian location info if avoiding them is your goal, no?

Not sure this is legit, though. Russian smileys don't have eyes 🤔

(I'm just yapping and nitpicking the OP pic, don't mind me unless you're bored I guess 😅 )

A bunch of stuff I don't recognize even with the name on it, lots of stuff that's just the name itself. Visa's in there twice. Bleh! Could've done better, I think.

That said, complaining that most people recognize more corporations than plants because we all hate nature and love corps is kinda ridiculous. I agree that humans generally are far too friendly to capitalism but recognizing, firstly, what's present in the environment and secondly, threats present in the environment are important parts of human development. 80% of USians live in urban areas. I doubt this number is that much lower anywhere else the creator of that image would be complaining about. Which has more representation in urban areas: corporate logos or species of plants? Which is easier to learn the name of? (Hint: the pic in the OP shows numerous logos with company names in them)

I'm imagining a person comes by spraying herbicide and this person's upset that I know the brand of the sprayer better than the plants that don't grow where it goes.

Very agree here. Less and less is actually GNU, so by what metric do we have to include things? "GNU is an OS?" I'm running two at once? No, it's three, some of this software comes from BSD. Or is it more? Maybe I've got tools developed on/from/for other OSes still! Hell, I've got Windows software on this system. Gotta tell everybody I'm running GNU and Linux and BSD and Windows and (...) 🤦

This naming "debate" is absurd.

Edit: I meant to say, it's really getting too late to push the naming issue as a means of making people recognize how much of "Linux" is GNU, considering the connections are decreasing. Even the kernel builds with clang these days, GNU tools and libs get replaced... I don't know that I'm happy about this, but it seems plausible (at a casual glance from a non-expert observer) that GNU's practically on its way out. On the other paw, I'll be glad to never hear about this naming "issue" again if everything GNU gets buried.

Not a fan of someone who uses the r-slur and makes a show of not being "woke," but I agree that that list is utterly ludicrous. Flagging something like it's practically unplayable because you can if you search for them find a couple of same-sex characters in the ass end of nowhere holding hands is kinda mind-blowing.

They even complained about someone claiming to be asexual. Seriously?? Someone not wanting sex is the big horrible Woke Agenda™ being shoved down poor, innocent Gamers™' throats? Look here, it's incels doing reverse wokism "making" a game engine because Real Men™ never use a premade one! Don't think about why they would want to associate with a general-purpose game engine despite also claiming that every dev must make their own! Thinking is WOKE! You'll turn gay if you think!

🤬 Baffling absurdity, I say!
