Are you saying that the meanings of words exist prior to those words?

in what way is calling water wet laziness or cognitive ambivalence? it’s not like wetness is something that just exists in the world prior to our construction of it

at least for blood is thicker the “full version” is actually most likely newer than the one you’re complaining about. it’s almost as though people use language to say what they want to say. nothing anti-intellectual about that

Essentially blaming people expressing support for trans people for the right wing culture war focus on trans people is definitely a bit more than just saying you’re fine with trans people doing what they want. Stop being so dishonest about what people were pissed at you for. You know it wasn’t a “blatantly pro trans comment”

Just to add to the context, here are some of the now removed comments from the log

I could maybe get it if the teams actually had ties to the cities they’re in, but trading players between teams baffles me.

I think this is probably part of why the only time I follow football is when it’s the World Cup or the Euros or something with the national teams like that. Obviously I’m not super into the nationalism aspect of it all, but I guess I just find the concept of managers having to kinda just work with what they’ve got more appealing than rich clubs just buying up most of the best players.

Trans girls with the time machine:

Tbf Reddit was AGP too, real trutranners don’t know what a computer is

YTA tran bad

I find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here

Strongly agree. Mastodon is alright and I use it a little, but the twitter-type format never really worked for me. I feel like when I have to follow individual people I usually end up either following no one or being forced to follow people who post things that interest me sometimes but a lot of the time post things that really don’t. Following particular topics or threads just seems much more natural to me; I can look at exactly what interests me and nothing more.

Does that really make it totally apolitical though?. Like obviously it’s not inherently attached to a wide reaching political ideology, but it still is political in the same way that any free software is kind of political.
