6·16 days agoThat’s the most interesting wikipedia entry I’ve read in a good long while.
I don’t have enough confidence that random people in my vicinity at any point in time will know the word to ever, ever use it. The possibility of someone taking it as the n-word it kinda sounds like is just too damn high.
53·23 days agoIn the context of changing the course of things early on, I’d make everyone post under their real name in any context. To be clear, I DO NOT support that today. The cat’s already out of the bag and pseudonymous communities are the norm now, I don’t think we can unscramble that egg.
But if somehow, from day one, you needed to attach your own name to everything posted online, I feel like we’d have ended up with a less toxic internet than we have in many places today.
IANAScientist, but maybe being a creature that can potentially fly onto land but not be able to walk once there was an evolutionary disadvantage, and was bred out.
