For some of us, the 2016 Democratic primary was quite illuminating. I'm glad to see people are catching up finally.

When you stop being offended by letters on a page and direct that hate towards the individuals that use the word as a slur or out of context on purpose, you'll be a lot happier.

The solution here is even easier than the division they've already been sowing upon the American people.

You don't send them home. You send them to the place that is the most culturally disparate from the way they grew up possible. You're a New England liberal? Great. We'll post you in the center of conservative Texas. Red Cap from a family of Diehard conservatives? You go to Oregon. New York inner city youth? You get special duty, guarding critical corporate infrastructure.

Keep them divided, keep them guessing. All it takes for control of a human being.

It's a real pity my bills don't see it that way.

All technology eventually trends towards the walled garden, either for reasons of greed or of "safety".

Substring completion on ZSH. Type in a small part of the command you want to find and then press up.

The whole comment reads as astroturf. I would treat it as such.

Nope. You play what you want. I, however, will not play any game from a company that demonstrably dislikes its customers. So far, wizards of the Coast and games workshop are on my list. In the electronic space, EA, Microsoft, and Sony.

As a guy, I'm not particularly against it but my answer in the moment would be along the lines of, it's a conversation we should have without hormones and endorphins in the way.

And holding the camera is generation x, smiling and nodding like an exhausted parent as though millennials have discovered something new.

But is it really?

Seagate and Best buy. I'm double pass.

You might have a better experience on Reddit.

I'm very sorry for your experience, but without knowing you and your history, I can't possibly know all of that. So I'm left with two choices - sharply limit my vocabulary in the hopes of avoiding making some random person feel bad; or acknowledge that each adult is best qualified to carry and deal with their own traumas.

Yep. I may have needed to use more words; my interpretation with all things Microsoft is usually "We're letting you opt in to the UI elements that make you feel like you have some semblance of control."

Sure, but if you equate me with someone who kicks a dog just because I talk about master or slave database nodes, or the need to retard message rates - I'm also going to treat you accordingly.

I'm amazed at the idea that in any technical community, an urging to gain more skill in your chosen environment could somehow be seen as negative.

No, but then that word has very few uses beyond slurs. The word 'retard', however, has many uses in technical fields - for example in setting internal combustion engine timings, or throttle settings in aviation. As always, context matters.

It is most certainly not. (He says, as he comes fuming out of yet another meeting about a ticket that could have been solved at Tier 2 if support would learn how to read a log)

Added to my mental toolbox, thanks!
