You have total free will. You can choose to follow or break the laws, you can go do drugs or be a hobo somewhere if that’s the life you want to live.

Life is just your will to do something. And if you lose the freedom and will to do anything, you’re, in my mind, already dead.

I just wanna be edgy and post images of skeletons riding motorcycles T-T

Bah, lemmy, please just let me devolve into a reactionary right winger! Stop making me learn things and have empathy and compassion for people!

You’re right. Fuck. It’s just tiring being wrong. I grew up in a way that getting mad about something like this would just be replied with “tough shit”. I guess old habits die hard. If changing it really makes that much of a difference for people, then yeah, great job gnu people.

I grew up calling racoons “coons” in the region of the US I live in and it’s still common to call them that nowadays. Words can have contextual meanings. If I hear the word “removed” and it turns out some guy is working on his car, I’m not going to be offended, and I shouldn’t be, because it’s not being used as a slur.

All said and done, I don’t particularly think it’s a big deal to change it, but I do believe it’s a highly performative gesture.

That’s a massive reach.
