<UL>
<LI><B>Anarchism</B> - I don't understand it but it seems pretty cool.</LI>
<LI><B>Baloney</B> - spelled "baloney".</LI>
<LI><B>Bitchute</B></LI><UL>
<LI>
I tried to swap from YouTube to this site back in 2019(? maybe 2020).
The site administration has let it get infested with right-wing puppets and various other muck.
Plus all my favorite channels left.
So I can't really recommend it.
Looks like everyone's using PeerTube now, my only concern with that is data resiliency - can hobbyists keep their instances going with the same dependability as YouTube?
</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B><I>Call of Duty</I></B> - propaganda with which I don't agree.</LI>
<LI><B>Cannibalism</B> - if it's consensual, sure.</LI>
<LI><B>Cereal</B></LI><UL>
<LI>The milk goes after the cereal into the bowl.</LI>
<LI>Corn flakes aren't that bad, despite their origins.</LI>
<LI>Cereal with coffee instead of milk is pretty good.</LI>
<LI>Soggy cereal beats out freshly poured cereal most of the time. Exceptions are maybe Cocoa Pebbles and Cheerios. Life cereal is especially good soggy.</LI>
<LI>The last powdery bits of the cereal are much better than the initial big bits. A lot of that powder is sugar and it sweetens the milk.</LI>
<LI>Bag cereal is just as good as box cereal. Taste-wise they're identical and they're about the same effort to pour because the boxes have bags in them too. The only con to bagged is that a greater amount of cereals are boxed (e.g. there are no off-brand Wheaties where I am) and boxes have cool puzzles on the back (though now that I'm not a wee lass I do have a cellphone on which I play Konami Picross instead).
</UL>
<LI><B>Computers</B></LI><UL>
<LI><B>Document editor</B> - I like Wordpad on Windows even despite the fact that it's proprietary. Sue me. I like Libreoffice elsewhere.</LI>
<LI><B>Free software</B> - most excellent.</LI>
<LI><B>GNU plus Linux</B> - No. I use the plan9ports utilities (which is a dangerous game but one from which I can recover with my backup hard drive and a couple commands), does that make my OS a plan9+Linux system?</LI>
<LI><B>Jargon</B></LI><UL>
<LI><B>/bin</B> - pronounced bin
<BR />Why? "bine", as in <B>bin</B>ary, sounds stupid. I think of it as a bin in which to place binaries.</LI>
<LI><B>/etc</B> - pronounced etsy
<BR />Why? It's easier to say than ee tee see or et cetera, and the literal meaning of the phrase is less important when it comes to describing file paths.</LI>
<LI><B>/lib</B> - pronounced lib (like in "liberty")
<BR />Why? See "bin", except I have no word imagery for its use.</LI>
<LI><B>/mnt</B> - pronounced em en tee
<BR />Why? It doesn't seem standard on Linux and a user with which I'm speaking may already have a "/mount" - <I>I</I> did when I was young and thought /mnt was reserved.</LI>
<LI><B>/opt</B> - pronounced opt (like in "opt-in")
<BR />Why? The user is <B>opt</B>ing in to <B>opt</B>ional software.</LI>
<LI><B>/proc</B> - pronounced prock
<BR />Why? Seems easier to say than "pross" like in <B>proc</B>esses.</LI>
<LI><B>/selinux</B> - pronounced ess ee linux
<BR />Why? That's what seems intuitive.</LI>
<LI><B>sudo</B> - pronounced soo doo
<BR />Why? It stands for <B>s</B>ubstitute <B>u</B>ser <B>do</B>.</LI>
<LI><B>/sys</B> - pronounced sis
<BR />Why? It's easy to say and short for <B>sys</B>tem.</LI>
<LI><B>/tmp</B> - pronounced temp
<BR />Why? It's where <B>temp</B>orary files go.</LI>
<LI><B>vi</B> - pronounced vee eye
<BR />Why? That seems to be what everybody says. Personally sometimes I say "vee" instead.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B><CODE>main</CODE> as the default git branch</B></LI><UL>
<LI>I want my projects accessible to anyone who may want to work on them.</LI>
<LI><CODE>main</CODE> is easier to type than <CODE>master</CODE>.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B>Operating system</B> - I'm slowly moving over to plan9front, otherwise I like anything POSIX or UNIX-like, nearly always Linux. Windows is unuseable for me.</LI>
<LI><B>Text editor</B>: ed or vi (or vim). Notepad on Windows.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B>Discrimination</B></LI><UL>
<LI><B>on the basis of biology</B> - extra bad. You have to go way out of your way in order to discriminate against people based on genotype - you're <I>paying money</I> to test their DNA or whatever so you can discriminate against them. Weak.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of economic wealth</B> - discrimination against the rich is very cool and sexy, discrimination against the poor is gross.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of ethnicity</B> - bad.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of gender</B> - bad.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of nationality</B> - bad.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of race</B> - bad.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of religious beliefs</B> - bad. All ideas should be subject to criticism, but <I>discrimination</I> implies undeserved misery is being inflicted, so no I don't think <I>discrimination</I> based on belief is acceptable in any context.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of religious practice</B> - bad. If all parties in the activity consent it's completely bueno.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of sex</B> - bad.</LI>
<LI><B>on the basis of sexual preferences</B> - bad.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B>Execution</B> - all people deserve to live, except monarchs.</LI>
<LI><B>Eugenics</B> - proof anyone can make up facts, cite them to barely-relevant research, and get millions of people to fall for it.</LI>
<LI><B>Fascism</B> - short-sighted and inevitably doomed to failure. Awful rule under which to live.</LI>

</UL>
</UL>
<LI><B>Furries</B> - pretty cool.</LI>
<LI><B>Gun control</B> - guns shouldn't be scapegoated so much in the USA. The issue with mass shootings in the country is an issue of mental health. However, given that, I still don't know what I think should be done about them.</LI>
<LI><B>Homosexuality</B> - pretty cool.</LI>
<LI><B>Land, Nick</B> - seems like a nice person.</LI>
<LI><B>Monarchy</B> - TODO: end it.</LI>
<LI><B>Necroposting</B> - good actually. If I have the same problem as another forum poster I want the previous knowledge gleaned in the same thread. It also makes it easier to reference in the future.</LI>
<LI><B>Nonconformity</B> - pretty cool.</LI>
<LI><B>Propaganda</B> - I used to make some. It's good when I agree with it.</LI>
<LI><B>Standardization</B></LI><UL>
<LI><B>Date format</B> - YYYY-MM-DD.</LI>
<LI><B>Time format</B> - T[HH]:[MM].</LI>
<LI>Nobody will get on board with this but maybe we could mark dates from the Unix epoch? Just a thought.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B>Unions</B> - very cool but I'd rather work a non-union job than be unemployed. And I'll say what I mean - I like unions but I'm too much of a wimp to put myself on the line for them.</LI>
<LI><B>Weezer</B> - great band.</LI><UL>
<LI><B>Weezer (the blue album)</B> - <I>equally</I> as good as Pinkerton.</LI>
<LI><B>Pinkerton</B> - very good.</LI>
<LI><B>Weezer (the red album)</B> - if you don't like it, you can shove it.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B>Wrongspeak and wrongthink</B></LI><UL>
<LI>If you're unaffected by a slur you probably shouldn't use it, even in an educational or non-hateful context.</LI>
<LI>There are some words I'd now consider hateful I used to use without reserve.</LI>
<LI>
Personally I don't use hateful language because I don't think it's justifiable.
However, if you're okay with offending people, consider this - you cannot grow in your understanding of the world if you don't communicate with people with whom you disagree.
You're really going to prioritize hateful speech over self development?
</LI>
<LI>If you go on my platform and say things with which I disagree, I should not have to host your opinions.</LI>
