    Referring to someone as queer. When I grew up that was a major insult. You just didn’t use that word, like the n word. You used others like homosexual and such. But now it is mainstream and ok to use in the right way. But it still feels offensive in my head.

      There was a deliberate movement to reclaim that word. Similar to black people using the N word. It also rhymes with here. “We’re here. We’re queer. Get used to it” was a big rallying cry in the 90s.

      As someone who is queer and knows queer people who use the word queer to identify themselves, many people use it as a form of shorthand to mean some variety of LGBTQ without going into more detail.

        Yeah, I know all about it. I live near portland, we are generally very inclusive. My kid was explaining just some of the many categories to me the other day. It’s a lot for an old brain to adjust to. And I am terrible at remembering peoples names. I may never be able to keep the categories connected to the people. Lol.

          An easy shorthand is to treat it like the word female. “A queer” and “queers” is offensive, “queer people” is not.

    People talking about their suicidal feelings on the internet. Not sure why you’d want the whole world to know you’re feeling vulnerable, or what you think it can do to help. And people are so casual about saying it.

      I think I know what you’re talking about. I do believe there’s a time and place for anything, but just trauma dumping your life’s woes somewhere like on a YouTube comment section, is probably not one of those places.

      If you feel like there’s nobody to talk to about it - write a blog or a journal entry. Dump your feelings and experiences there, then share them whenever someone asks you what’s wrong. There are places and sites that are open for one to talk about these sensitive subjects to.

      But there’s just no reason to randomly do it on like YouTube comment sections for example. I see it nearly all of the time.

      Counterpoint: if people feel like they can’t talk about these things then they’ll never talk about them and the condition often worsens.

      I also feel pretty powerless to help in a meaningful way. But I’m not going to shun someone who’s struggling either

        Adding on to your feeling like they can’t talk being bad, sometimes places like these are the only places someone feels like they have. They’re fairly anonymous, it can be easily deleted, there’s low risk of someone in your personal life finding out.

        It’s a chance to scream into the void, while still feeling seen.

      Hey guys, gals, and Jofans! It’s ya boy, Jofa, and we’re here with another video about how to use the ping command!

      Dubstep intermission with spinning letters

      𝓙 𝓞 𝓕 𝓐

      Dubstep end

      So, today we’ll be teaching you about ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife’s dad’s brother’s dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, it’s time to start our… can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That’s like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,

      SquareSpace intermission

      Alright, enough rambling. Here’s how to use the ping command. Ping was invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound. ping… let’s see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that’s what it looks like!

      Random shit until 10:00

      Thanks for watching my video! Be sure to like, subscribe, hit the bell, hit up my Patreon, send ETH, and become a channel member! My Discord is in the description. Jofout!

      I think those are all appropriate for the movies they’re in. You can argue whether a white director should do that.

        In Django sure but I would not say so for Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Hell, Samuel L Jackson specifically told him not to say it in Pulp Fiction. It does not make sense for the scene either. A suburban white dude is going to say it multiple times to a black assassin who just got done killing people? His character is not supposed to be a bumbling moron.

          I think it shows his character has power in the situation, is familiar with Jackson’s character and demands his respect. But that’s subjective.

    Adults doing TikTok dances. It’s cringe enough when kids do it but there’s something about a fully grown adult chasing internet fame that’s just gives me second-hand embarrassment.

    White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

    He grew up in the ghetto around that culture. He wasn’t pretending. I didn’t know he used the n word in any songs. He may have used it in conversation idk.

    Repeating song lyrics don’t count bc usually you are alone anyway. It’s a ‘tree falls in the woods and no one there to hear it’ situation.

        But you gotta use it without the hard R. “Brotha”

        I use ‘glip glops’ referencing Rick and Morty.

        Rick: What’s up my glipglops!?!?

        And

        Summer: Are some glip glops from the third dimension gonna come over and play cards or something?

        And Rick eventually explains: Glip glop is like the n-word and the c-word had a baby and it was raised by all the bad words for [juice].

        You’ve been sold a lie. There’s no “Bri’ish” or “Caw blimey guvna”. These are people from the UK who go abroad, suddenly get way more attention for their (slight) accent than they ever did back at home, and play to the popularity by Flanderizing themselves to appeal more to their foreign audience.

        Any english/irish/scottish accent you hear on a mainstream TV show is not representative of the general population. Example: the BBC news accent is about as representative of the UK population as the 1950s MidWestern Radio accent was representative of the US population. It’s a caricature that everyone but a foreign audience just mentally tunes out
