    There's a war on language now. Sitting on my shelf at my desk, no more than about 5 feet away from me right now, is a copy of 1984... If you haven't read it since high school, now's the time to read it again...

    These SJWs are huffy about freedom and want to get rid of any idea of a master slave relationship. If I worked in computers I'd keep using the words.

    Its the turf battle over linguistic territory. Its how all authoritarian movements begin. Jordan Peterson talks about this very convincingly.

    I am not surprised at anything any more.

    After some SF board has decided to rename human sexual organs in order not to offend transgender and other "classes".

    Mental disease knows no limits.

    Better than being pissed on! But Yes, to your point, this is just nonsense. Maybe the drug addict companies will come up with a pill for oversensitivities.
