So it’s not the best analogy.

I don’t think that’s quite right. The act of changing the channel wouldn’t have impacted the station’s ad revenue because the tech couldn’t tell if the ad was served. On YouTube you actually deprive the site of ad revenue with an ad blocker. And if enough people do it, you could also deprive creators of material earnings.
Mate, a good third of the countries on that list are currently suffering such brutal ethnic violence that it might be considered genocide. Close to half are riddled by islamic terrorism, usually directed towards ethnic minorites. At least two of them are in the middle of civil wars.
There’s a not insignificant chance that it’ll be the secured creditors’ company soon 😂
To be fair, this is how people tend to react to change, generally. I remember every time Facebook or YouTube did a site redesign in the early 2010s people were always up in arms.
Jake and Amir parodied this well in their “Facebook Redesign” episode.
I just don’t get it. While it’s eased up a bit, we’re still in one of the hottest labour markets of all time. If your job sucks that much, just quit.
Great cohesive argument.
I can link articles I found in 10 seconds on Google too:
I would argue that grammar is the most relevant bit; it’s the only thing separating the acceptable phrase from the unacceptable phrase, which are otherwise identical.
Quote the part of my comment I wrote that I am against the phrase.
Mate, you’re the one who’s arguing that all black people have the same opinion on this issue and purporting to speak on their collective behalf.
To be fair, I would bet that not all black people are cool with being called a “person of colour” either.
I was hopeful that we would have fewer low effort comments like this on Lemmy since I moved from Reddit.
Yes, I agree it’s a loaded term. Perhaps my disconnect is more how: (a) the loaded term and the acceptable term (in 2023, at least) are functionally identical, with only marginal grammatical separation; and (b) there is such a wide tabboo gap between those margins.
As a non-American, my confusion with this issue is that “coloured people” and “people of colour” are functionally identical phrases in the English language. Using coloured as an adjective vs a noun with “of” gets you to the exact same spot.
I appreciate that there is historical context, but I can’t help but feel that the difference between offence and no offence essentially boils down to grammatical semantics. In my mind, barring slurs or perjoratives, the intention behind the phrase is really what matters.
That’s one of my favourite things about my pup 😂 It’s funny how people disagree on these things.
You think dog people are crazy?? I assure you, there is nothing crazy about the chewed up baseboards and furniture in my house from when my dog was a puppy. Nothing crazy in the slightest about having a dirty floor 24/7 because she brings mud and dirt in from her walks. I feel prefectly sane when she wakes me up barking in the middle of the night because she hears noises outside. Calm and collected when she chews up fresh sticks all over the bed.
You’re the crazy one, my friend!!
Pay what a fair wage, the GPU farm? 😂
I’m inherently skeptical that any kind of projector can match a modern OLED. What are your thoughts?
What do you perceive as the risks of anesthesia?
There are probably ways to correlate the military test with a standardized IQ test, and which point the military test might be a rough proxy for IQ. If that was the case, the 80 IQ rule might be roughly accurate.
I don’t know if that’s been done though. Just playing devil’s advocate.
