Last post by Thorin - Yesterday at 10:37:47 PM"grandfathering" isn't sexist, it's named after a systemic racist attempt to keep freed slaves from voting. It's inherently racist.
Your link to UW's inclusive language guide has explanations for each word / category they're addressing. I read them to make sure there's no "gotchas" listed that might come back at me, now I can confidently say I agree with all their decisions in their guide. Hell, they even offer a whole bunch of references to learn more from.
Meanwhile the only argument against is some guy who was good at driving a car and writing code, who apparently doesn't bother studying what he's complaining about before complaining about it, and his argument is really only that he didn't like being inconvenienced for what in his unstudied perception didn't make a difference. It doesn't help that he's an anti-DEI heading down the far right rich guy asshole pipeline.

So now, the words "blacklist" and "whitelist" are too racist for the University of Washington. And "grandfathering" is too sexist. 🥴

QuoteI never actually cared whether we call it master or main. So when the racialized claims started over how calling the default branch in Git repositories "master" was PrObLEmAtIC, I thought, fine, what skin is it off anyone's or my back to change? If this is really important, can make a real difference, great. Let's do it.
How naive.
This was a classic exploit of good faith, and I fell for it.
Changing master to main changed less than nothing. Because nothing was or is ever enough in this arena...

Lobby / If evil is in this world, how ...
Last post by Darren Dirt - March 31, 2024, 10:43:55 AMIf evil is in this world, how can there be a good God?

"...Christianity does not have an evil problem. To say that is to completely misunderstand Christianity.
Evil is a requirement for Christianity. Evil is a necessity, because our Lord came into this world to experience evil, to fight against evil, to defeat evil. And He did.
...never forget this: if God were to just wipe out evil with a swipe of His hand, that would include us, because in our sins we are evil.
But instead of defeating evil by His might and power like that, He chose a better way. God the Son chose to suffer on the Cross because of our evil, because of our sins, to take the punishment we deserved. And to make a way for us to be saved."
Jesus Christ came, suffered, and died in order to free us from the chains of evil. Which is why every evil act you witness, every evil thing you do, is testament to the necessity of His sacrifice that we recognize and honor during the Easter "long weekend".
Happy Easter Sunday aka *Resurrection Day*!
