Technology@lemmy.world•The Death of the Status Update: Why 55% of Americans Stopped Posting on Social MediaEnglish
4·7 days agoI came to Reddit right at the tail end of their do-gooder phase, and just got to watch it quickly collapse into a contest of who could make the same joke first, and then the pages and pages of attempts at one-upsmanship after that. You used to click on the comments to get more information, and as the years went by the lower that information sunk into a mud pit of poor puns.

“German” is not a race, dimwit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are so many people still fine with using "The C Word" despite it being officially a derogatory slur towards women?English
0·2 months agoBanning words, or trying to reframe them as bad has never worked.
The banned words only get more power by virtue of being banned.
It just pushes people to use different words that end up with the same meaning.
Like “N-word” is the new n-word. Childish and useless.
And then there’s the whole thing where we let racists define what words mean… They ruin everything they can, so there’s no safe place to go to.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it?English

I think the lesson they learned from the martyrs they created in the 60s (King, the Kennedys) is that it’s much easier and just as effective to assassinate character. And it’s mostly legal.

"The best-known event associated with The Catcher in the Rye is arguably Mark David Chapman’s murder of John Lennon in 1980.[14] Chapman identified with the novel’s narrator to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. On the night he shot Lennon, Chapman was found with a copy of the book in which he had written “This is my statement” and signed Holden’s name.[15] Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing.[16] Daniel Stashower speculated that Chapman had wanted Lennon’s innocence to be preserved by death, inspired by Holden’s wish to preserve children’s innocence despite Holden’s later realization that children should be left alone.[16]
"After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room.[17] Hinckley’s possession of the novel was later dismissed as an influence, as a half dozen various other types of books were also discovered in his possession.
“Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer’s apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989 and murdered her.”
Two carried it, one had it back in his hotel room. And all 3 were in the 80s.
