I just killed a bug that was flying around the room being creepy and now I feel terrible. I even used my electric fly swatter-thingy, to make its death as quick as possible, but still... Usually I would've grabbed it and put it outside, but that was just not possible with this one.

 

I'm sad now :<

I personally don't care what words people use unless they are deliberately being hateful. I get why some people get offended, but it's the user's intention that matters most. Pretty sure delet doesn't hate gay people, he just likes the sound of that word.

Yeah I'm sure that Delet doesn't hate gay people. I don't think his using the word has anything to do with gay people.

 

But the problem is that the word is a trigger. There are gay people who got called faggot all through high-school and that word still carries the same impact.

 

But yeah those people should totally lighten up, right?

 

i was called all sorts of things in highschool. Really had a miserable time. At no point did i blame language.

 

Wow i can't believe how passive aggressive you are about this whole thing.

 

BTW no I'm not a dupe I browsed WATMM for roughly 6 months before joining but that's it.

 

Also I'm bisexual and as the result of years of torment the word 'faggot' causes me great anxiety.

 

Hopefully this isn't opening up old wounds but I've just seen this fantastic extract from Louie (I'm only seen the third series, I think this is from the first) that touches the situation really nicely -

Etymology

The word meaning "bundle of sticks" is ultimately derived, via Old French, Italian and Vulgar Latin, from Latin fascis (also the origin of the word fascism).^[6] The origins of the word as an offensive epithet for homosexuals are rather obscure, although the word has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women,^[7] and reference to homosexuality may derive from this,^[6][8] as female terms are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "faggot-gatherer", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meagre living by gathering and selling firewood.^[8] It may also derive from the sense of "something awkward to be carried" (compare the use of the word "baggage" as a pejorative term for old people in general).^[6] Use of the word as a general insult, not necessarily implying homosexuality, is either a continuation or extension of this older usage^[7] or of the homosexual usage.

Unsubstantiated associations

It is sometimes claimed that the modern slang meaning developed from the standard meaning of "faggot" as "bundle of sticks for burning," presumably with reference to burning at the stake.^[6] It is true that supposed witches and heretics were burnt to death in some parts of Europe, and were often accused of deviant sexual behaviour.^[9] However, any association of the term faggot with executions had long become a historical curiosity by the time the slang sense of the word arose in twentieth-century America.^[6] Moreover, burning was never prescribed as a punishment for homosexuality in either Britain or America.^[8][6]This explanation is therefore considered to be an urban legend.^[6]

An alternative possibility is that the word is connected with the practice of fagging in British private schools, in which younger boys performed (potentially sexual) duties for older boys,^[6] although the word faggot was never used in this context, only fag. There is a reference to the word faggot being used in 17th century Britain to refer to a "man hired into military service simply to fill out the ranks at muster", but there is no known connection with the word's modern pejorative usage.^[6]

 

Bolstering the sympathy grab with lies doesn't help, it was sufficient to talk about the being beaten up thing, rather than prefacing it with an urban legend from the community.

My house is so cold I'm wearing a sweatshirt, but it's like 35C outside.

I crave Taco Bell.

i have to get up in the morning at 4 this week, i'm a night person so i feel like a zombie all day. Told myself to go to bed at 10oclock yesterday after watching the double episode from south park where stan get's old and hears only farts cause everything sucks, had a good laugh watching it with my gf..

took a cat with me upstairs. Around 2 at night i have this dream, suddenly i see Randy in his costume on stage farting in the mike and i hear it so loud i get awake in shock, half a meter away from my head, the cat is farting choco poop in the corner all over the ground looool

 

it literally hasnt stopped raining the past two days in my area and now its become a flood warning zone. luckily it isnt too bad by me but my entire backyard is underwater and water is starting to get into the laundry room. i seriously hope it doesnt get into my basement cause all my music equipment is down there. which, by the way, where i keep my equipment is directly below the laundry room .

Wow, South Park is so not funny that watching it makes me want to punch myself in the face.

Incorrect. It is one of the most candid and well crafted satirical look at pop culture, politics, and humanities general incompetence.

 

It's pretty fucking awesome if you can follow the logic of how each episode's plot develops. Granted, it probably helps to have some experience with psychadelics.

I tracked down an awesomely cheap copy of an album I want that I owned on cd years go that was going for £3.

 

Asked the seller to send me pics and it looked fine so requested to buy.

 

Joker came back to me and asked for £10 shipping. I cancelled the order.
