So you can't talk about Christmas stockings or how to properly mount wall fixtures, but you can celebrate all the trannies that hanged themselves, groovy

They've been cucked for a long time because geeks and nerds didn't understand it was push back or watch what you built die and burn to ash.

It’s not just nerd spaces - er… well it kinda is. I’ve been studying a lot of history of technological creation throughout the industrial era (and even before like printing press control). It’s the people that do the creation of a technology/industry (create the power) all throughout time eventually get overrun by those who grab control of it and pozz it for control OF the power.

Communism is a generalized form of this which frankly states that it can only exist after a nation has become powerful and wealthy because otherwise there’s no “power” to take.

The music industry was effectively started with the advent of recording media and took off with rock and roll and punk and all sorts of forms of expression and music until it got super pozzed in the 80s and 90s and then completely subverted from the 2000s on into a controlled space with no creativity. It’s art, education, science, ANY field that has power these locusts will come into control it like a cheap night club with vip access inside the VIP club.

Unfortunately most uber nerds, especially in the tech field, ended up becoming the cancer themselves instead of simply being invaded.

Programming socks aren't a made up meme, it was a real big thing.

Well, those of us who do understand want the rest of them to actually see for themselves what the end result is, when you invite all of the absolute dumbest mother fuckers on the entire planet in to your spaces.

Yeah, but how many of us was that at the start? Not near enough. Most nerds just wanted to be happy having more people involved, and didn't realize what was actually happening until it was too late.

So a bunch of blue haired, fat, HR nobodies who know ZERO about coding and probably mocked real programmers in school for being nerdy are now dictating that I can’t say things like “the program hung”? Because that’s a simile of how people were executed?

Even though the program HUNG because its execution has frozen or it’s in in a permanent wait state which has nothing to do with rope or lynching?!

Am I not allowed to say “I hung up the phone” anymore?!

This is BS by dying companies that can’t make a dime!

"Hung" isn't even the right word for the wrongthink these fucking idiots are trying to ban. Pictures get hung. People get hanged.

The OTHER way to use hung is to refer to someone who has a big dick, so unless it’s that…

Soon boot will be banned

I have a Masters degree, what should I do?

To tell anyone who isn't a subversive cultist that you aren't welcome there, and to provide excuses to remove you if you get in their way.

How long before this ban or something like it leads to an incident that blows up in their face?

Happens pretty often. People break code and it needs new forks because they get triggered over key coding terms like Master.
