Thank God it wasn't a joke (it was a pun)! Glad you agree puns are fine and infantalizing minorities is dehumanizing them.


>but a world where white and black make many people think of skin color, I feel like it's hard to deny that at least in NA.

Don't project your neurotic racist thoughts onto others. Not everyone is as racist and neurotic as this. You're poorly attempting to gas light everyone into thinking this neurotically. Stop it.


No it's not. List of filesystem blocks? List of block devices?

Or use blacklist, a word that has a definition that predates modern computing and non-English speakers can quickly translate using any old translator, dictionary, etc.


if you don't know what either a blacklist or blocklist is, the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean

yes block has 1 other meaning, but that pales compared to black which doesn't have the descriptive meaning in the first place


>block has 1 other meaning

Wrong. A list of blocked processes?

>the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean

No it's not. If you don't know what "blacklist" means, you can pick up any dictionary from the 1700s and later and get a definition.


>Wrong. A list of blocked processes?

that's the same meaning. the processes are blocked from proceeding

>No it's not. If you don't know what "blacklist" means, you can pick up any dictionary from the 1700s and later and get a definition

that's not what glean means

>Wrong >No it's not

why are you taking this confrontational tone? it's unpleasant and doesn't help your case


>that's the same meaning

No it's not. Blocked processes and blacklisted processes are two very different things.

>that's not what glean means

No one said that's what glean means.


I'm talking about how easy it is to intuit [glean] a word meaning. you missed this. that's okay


Those are considered destructive devices, not arms, and are regulated totally differently. They are by definition not considered "arms".


Arm: a means (such as a weapon) of offense or defense.

Firearm: a weapon from which a shot is discharged by gunpowder.

Small arm: portable firearms, especially rifles, pistols, and light machine guns.

The second amendment as strictly read says only "arms" the definition which has not changed since it was written only the lethality of the arms has increased through technological advancement culminating in nuclear arms.

A "destructive device" is a type of arm as defined by the 1934 Firearms act nearly 150 years after the second amendment was written.

A machine gun is not considered a destructive device but is still regulated and obviously still a type of arm.

So clearly you are ok with adding restrictions on arms not specifically laid out in the constitution if you are ok with the regulation of "destructive devices" and "machine guns" semantic word games aside. Otherwise if you strictly adhere to the wording of the amendment then there should be no regulation on the type of arms a citizen may own up to including nuclear arms.


>Bearing arms and being part of a well-regulated militia are American civil rights granted by the Bill of Rights. Purchasing those arms isn't a civil right.

"Voting in elections is a civil right granted by the Bill of Rights. Access to a polling station isn't a civil right."

That's effectively what you're saying. Rights enshrine access. Things like poll taxes, voter ID, etc. have all been declared unconstitutional because they infringe upon your right. Banning purchasing arms falls in the exact same category.


This is hilariously perfect. This should be posted everywhere.


One often overlooked fact is Haiti committed a real genocide against whites, almost entirely wiping them off the island (thousands were murdered).

Whites in the Americas and elsewhere were shocked and scared by the news. Many US and European sailors refused to port in Haiti due to this, which only hampered Haiti's economic growth.


Stop pushing fucking bullshit. US and European refused to port in Haiti because it was bad optics, as Haiti was a country that successfully freed itself from slavery while European and American countries still employed those tactics. US had no problem dealing with countries slaughtering natives, black people, etc. but somehow you're trying to paint this bullshit genocide narrative. Spoken like a person who truly has no fucking clue what they're talking about.


>Is there evidence that the DNC specifically targeted certain demographics and actively used misinformation in order to lessen their participation in democracy?

Is there evidence that the RNC specifically targeted certain demographics and actively used misinformation in order to lessen their participation in democracy?


This is the exact way one should deal with performative social justice leftists at work.


Seriously this. A run if the mill big mac is better than most Portuguese food.
