01:53 < aestetix> fucking pronouns
01:53 < aestetix> why do people put that in their email signatures now
01:53 < aestetix> it's only coming from americans

06:47 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:48  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:48 < Evilpig_> because we didnt' stop that mess when it started and we've continued to tell these whacko's with mental illness that they're not crazy and they're just the wrong gender
06:49 <@Dolemite> Dolemite (YoDaddy / YoDaddy / YoDaddy)
06:49 <@Dolemite> Did I do that right?
06:51 < aestetix> Evilpig_: what I don't get... the justification for it is that they want to make someone who is a marginalized group feel included and accepted
06:52 < aestetix> But.... there are other marginalized groups they ignore. Like neo-nazis, KKK members, etc. I don't hear anyone shouting to include them
06:52 < Evilpig_> include them in the nut house where they can deal with their illness with other like minded crazies
06:52 < aestetix> heh
06:52 < Evilpig_> god damn i'm loving this mr mayor.
06:53 < aestetix> I just hope this pronoun trend dies out soon
06:53 < Evilpig_> it's still gaining steam, we're stuck with it and the only chance you had to see it go away was 4 more years of tRump
06:53 < xray> Sadly critical race theory is not going anywhere soon.
06:53 < aestetix> Evilpig_: I am hoping that with trump gone it will lose steam
06:54 < Evilpig_> hell no
06:54 < Evilpig_> trump's fanbase were the most likely to mock that mess
06:54 < Evilpig_> and without him in power to embolden them, it'll just be accepted
06:54 < aestetix> xray: all the critical * theory disciplines are bullshit
06:55 < aestetix> I tried really, really hard to understand it, spent a long time reading theory, to see what I was missing
06:55 < xray> That would be great but once you understand the foundations of critical race theory (which is where all the pronouns come from) you will see that it is a complete soup-to-nuts world view. As such, it isn't going anywhere soon.
06:55 < aestetix> My conclusion was that it's all bullshit
06:55 < xray> If ever.
06:55 < aestetix> which is why it makes no sense
06:56 < aestetix> What's amazing is that principles I think are important, like color-blindedness, are suddenly considered racist
06:56 < aestetix> which makes no sense
06:58 < xray> It makes sense if you have broken postulates. Like trying to explain that even though someone used the right calculus formula, the answer is wrong because for one of the variables they used 2 + 2 = 5. When you try to point that out they tell you math is a racists construct and if you would only look at the calculus formula they are using you would
06:58 < xray> come to see the world as they do.
06:59 < xray> And if you believe 2+2=5, then yes it makes no sense.

07:00 < PigBot> PODCAST 134: John McWhorter on the Ideological Excesses of the Social-Justice Movement – Quillette (at quillette.com)
07:00 < aestetix> this is a very good podcast episode
07:08 <@Dolemite> Evilpig_: If only this week's episode could count as the REAL workplace harassment training video

07:24 < aestetix> so uh
07:24 < aestetix> any recommendations on a good private torrent tracker for books?
07:24 < aestetix> ebooks, textbooks, etc
07:24 <@Dolemite> I haven't looked at torrents in years
07:27 < xray> Sorry, I only use torrents for Linus ISO downloads.
