Okay, call me sexist, rascist, homophobe, xenophobe........

I miss the days when I just watched TV shows and movies, enjoyed them on their own merit, and had absolutely no idea about the personal lives or opinions of any of the actors.

While Master and Slave Hard Drives aren't common any more. The SPI, Serial Peripheral Interface, bus still uses MOSI for Master Out, Slave In, and MISO for the other wire. Seems the Master and Slave naming is still fairly common there.

Absolutely not what happens/happened and you know it. That or you really don't know your ass from a hole in the ground, and based on what youve posted in this thread alone, I'm not entirely sure which one is the case.

IBTL!

Ludicrous. It’s time to wake up and smell the roses, David. I’m not sure if you’re intentionally trying to protect a certain subset of individuals or if you just choose to ignore reality and pretend this stuff doesn’t happen, but what you’ve proposed here is certainly not the case.

I suggest you are ignoring reality. What happened to the Dixie Chicks when they expressed an opinion counter to that held by their fans?

See the example above. There are other examples, I’m sure, but I don’t follow entertainers, nor what they say. They are good for entertainment, but like most people, don’t know much beyond their own work and social circle.

I did always hear “in before thread lock”. Now I’m going to hear “I beetle” for the rest of my life. Thanks for that.

I suppose anyone can find evidence to support their opinion if they try hard enough. I’ve seen it from both sides quite clearly to know it’s not just a theory, but I’ll leave it at that.

I value the opinion of my garbage man, oops sorry, trash collector, more than a so called celebrity.

Here's the point under discussion:

Celebrities don't have a constitutional right to stay rich and famous forever. If they annoy or bore enough of their audience, they'll get dumped for someone the audience likes better. That's just the fickleness of fame, not cancel culture.

If you've seen it from both sides, and you know it isn't just a theory, then why this remark in response to that post?

Ludicrous. It’s time to wake up and smell the roses, David. I’m not sure if you’re intentionally trying to protect a certain subset of individuals or if you just choose to ignore reality and pretend this stuff doesn’t happen, but what you’ve proposed here is certainly not the case.

I'll accept that you typed in haste.

Pluto is a dwarf planet, which makes Greenland a dwarf continent.

When I was in school, it was a midget continent. Another good word gone bad.

Yeah, a trash collector is a guy that picks up girls in New Jersey!

What rock are you hiding under? Evidence, we don’t need no stinkin evidence. Alternative facts and alternative realities are all one needs and they are every bit as good and valid as facts and evidence. And if you repeat them long enough and loud enough, it might just become reality for many. Nothing really new in this - look at the rise of Hilter in Germany in the 1930’s or Stalin in the Soviet Union in the same period. Sheesh - why else do 1,000’s take a horse dewormer instead of an FDA approved vaccine or refuse a vaccine because it has a microchip tracker while carrying a cell phone and other electronics that can be easily tracked including your car. There is a reason the Flat Earth Society is growing.

Try hard??? It’s so easy to confirm your bias nowadays. Pick the channel, paper, website, social media forum, etc of your choice. You can get the proof you desire in a couple clicks.

I wouldn't equate that with proof.

There it is!


Oh wait...nevermind...who's Hilter?

It's a shame, too, because it would be so easy to use Stalin or Mao instead to make the same hackneyed point without incurring a Godwin vio.

On the positive side, no one has quoted "First they came" (yet).

And now they are just The Chicks, because Dixie is offensive.

I’m sure someone will call them out because Chicks is sexist, so then what are they going to call themselves?

Unfortunately the word 'The' has been trademarked by Ohio State University already.

Is that you talking or the Invermectin you’re taking? Don’t cherry pick my post to make whatever half-witt point you’re trying to make.

No point. Just that Godwin's law is alive and well.

Well, sort of one point; you need to proofread before anger-punching the "reply" button. You keep misspelling things.
