@OpenComputeDesign So the list of your sins contains "taller than the car industry wants their customers to be".

@PippiPunkstrumpf Was mir gerade noch auffällt, war das nicht normal, dass die Verlierer der Präsidentschaftswahlen dann erstmal ein paar Jahre ruhig sind? Ausnahme kannte ich bisher nur von Trump, der hält ja nie die Fresse.
Macht Kamela ihn da nach?

@PippiPunkstrumpf Ist schon krass, wie absurd das da läuft. Kommunistische Kommunen im Zwangslager! Und diese Arbeiterklasse der Eisverkäufer, total kommunistisch.

@ruemaleficent In recent months i started asking myself if saving humanity from itself would be ethical, if one had the ability. Not only because of fash, also considering urgent normal syndrome regarding covid, a general apathy to actually solve problems. Who am i to say most people choose wrong?

@ruemaleficent It's a friendly banter to stay aware.

Needed a lot, since the current regime is pretty close to fascism again.

@ruemaleficent Oh, i overlooked the "by whom".

For my personal experience, it's us germans (the ones that do not want another nazi regime) jokingly calling each other potatoe.

@ruemaleficent I think because it's a staple food. Wonderful things can be created from potatoes, but they just don't have the "fine cuisine" connotation.

It carries a bit of a connection of being a square, and regarding our history i think one should be aware that not standing up to conservatives turning fascist is dangerous.

Definitely not alike to "cracker", as i heard that was a symmetrical counterslur and cannot be benign, right?

@ruemaleficent Oh, i wouldn't call it a slur. You'd have to use a pretty hostile tone of voice for that, or it would take a pretty uptight approach to be mad about being called a potato.

@hochbahn
Es scheint, dass dieses Wissen nicht erwünscht ist. Es wurde ja nun klar gemacht, dass die Person sich bedrängt fühlt, einfach zu sagen "Fahrgäste können sich dadurch auf ihren Wegen sicher fühlen" ist eine sehr unhöfliche Art, das aufgeworfene Problem zu ignorieren.

@posiputt

@PhoenixSerenity Hmm, i'd say there are bad things people do (ableism, classism etc.) and motivations why they do it (projection, being trained to do them by parents, society).

I try to seperate those in order to place responsibility at the feet of the correct party, in this case the people that judge and those that trained them to. This is supposed to keep away victim blaming, since naming the bad action does not explicitly say that the victim did nothing to provoke this.

So yes, ableism, but i find the view with projection more powerful to rebuff the judgement nobody asked for.

@daswarkeinhuhn Auch in anderen Arbeitskontexten bekanntes Problem. Ich fühle mit dir, hatte bei einem anderen Job mal komplett aufgehört, Emails zu lesen wenn mich nicht jemand direkt darauf hinweist, dass da was ist.

@ruemaleficent Oh, i thought i was just doing a dig at my nationality (germans being called potatoes), but in another context it's a symbol for freedom. Nice.

@MargaXeyat @PippiPunkstrumpf Er kann eigentlich nur Schweizer meinen. Die warn soweit ruhig und freundlich bisher.

@LRRRonEarth You felt like you were flying after the hippie, you'll feel like you're an exploding rocket after this one...

@light I looked and it seems this person is just tooting one liners about being gay and such? I don't understand the commotion, were you personally adressed with something?

@lyte Mh ich hatte von einer gehört, dass ihr Hund speziell blonde Frauen nicht mag.
