Since people can drown in water, we must ban water!

To be fair, it wasn't even adopted as the national anthem until 1931in the middle of decades of nationalism, and hateful "patriotism" designed to force a very specific image of America that is NOT inclusive to others.

Today there are far too many morons who think so many of these oppressive things were instituted by the founders and therefore it should remain as is forever. The same assholes who think some past heyday was "better" than today.

It's up there with the pledge of allegiance, in god we trust, and various statues and shit.

Fuck these people.

I don't think the argument is worth having.

Only thing I will say is that the audio world has no common meaning for a slave.
Programming does.

The server does not necessarily control the client though. Looking at the list of alternatives, I like boss/controller–worker the most.

Someone smart tell me how to take advantage of this to make the IRS forget I exist.

Most of these pages probably don't change for years. And maybe not explicitly "revert"ing the change, but they'd know where to go back and find the text used for DEI stuff.

The author got backstabbed and almost killed by Stalinists, who turned on them instead of fighting the fascists.

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

Some parts of some DEI initiatives were dumb during the BLM protests, therefore we must do digital nazi bookburnings.

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

They usually don't care, they just claim some imaginary East-Asian country banned any kind of self-expression to the point all people are wearing the same clothes, which made crime disappear over night or some similar bullshit. They want to claim humans are not different by nature.

It'd take extra effort to remove the Git diff history, and I don't think higher ups would know or the lower downs would care, lol

[mattgolsen@lemmy.ml]

Don't worry, they're working on the IRS too. I saw an anecdote where the Elongated Muskrat said he deleted E-file.

Oops no such thing as a neutral state structure, thank you come again

So after Trump changes his mind or loses power, the missing information can be brought back in fairly easily. Nothing is permanently lost.

It's funny they have absolutely no idea.
