The unease doesn’t come from the word itself being a grave insult but, for example, from being bullied for being “weird”.

They belong to the king!
(The king of cats, not the other guy)
It’s also worth noting that the bourgeoisie doesn’t just compete for power with the other two classes (proletariat and petit-bourgeoisie) - it also competes internally. And for that, different factions within the class will seek external support from different groups, and align their discourses to those.
And if someone were to ignore that and view them as a single-minded monolith it can easily be explained as divide & conquer tactics.
The penguin must scream!
So it’s like RMS and PMP for speakers. 600 W¹
¹ Briefly, before it blows up
please don’t let them fuck this up.
Totally unrelated question: Which chaos god feeds on disappointment? Tzeentch? Malice?
Don’t forget to add a little bit of post-atomic horror!
I definitely have.
I had a Jolla smart phone, it was pretty great but it also quickly became apparent that the company had no real intention to make Sailfish the Android-compatible, open and privacy-friendly OS I was hoping it’d be.

Kinda surprised they are still around, but I guess knowing the right magical words to whisper to investors is a good enough business strategy. They’ve done it with blockchain, now it’s AI.
I like tar xaf

Making the question so inflammatory is a double edged sword, you reach a larger audience, but you’re way more likely to drive people from your cause.
It is so inflammatory that it reads as intentional trolling to me. Same energy as “Islam is right about women”. The question wasn’t proposed to generate any sort of insight, it’s just to stoke the flames.

They used to make ones that can do both sides at once, but they were too complicated, expensive and basically immediately outdated when dual layer DVDs came around.
From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”
Sounds like the test itself isn’t the problem but how it’s used and how much people attach to the results, like with IQ tests. Neither that nor Myers-Briggs should be part of interviewing for a job either but apparently some US companies do it anyway.
Can this be the new GNU/Linux copypasta?
They convey time instantly, without reading. You don’t even need the numbers for them to work. It’s like showing a progress bar versus just giving the percentage as a number.
