Smell my dogs after they rolled on some cow poop… I assure you will get sick as in vomit… (Obviously /s)

Not really. You can get sick by just sniff at a distance aerosol of dry mice poop (hantavitus, that’s how I spreads …)

So yes, you can get sick by sniffing.

No seatbelts, it’s a train

Let’s be clear: I don’t go around calling people names, whether it’s their color, religion, sexual identification or else.

Do you get that I am talking about the word itself and censorship? Especially in games and online platforms, this is the thread reasoning.

And you didn’t spend a single word discussing the point I am making, you are blinded by the word, at least this is what I get from your replies.

We could have a discussion and maybe I would change my idea, I am open to that even now.

Just to be clear, I have black friends that use that word quite often. Again, it’s a word, they can and you or me can’t?

I don’t take responsibility for your ancestors (my ancestors are not linked to slavery by the way) nor I feel guilty because of the color of my skin, but only for my actions. I might indeed have been racist, involuntarily, as I am far for perfect.

Still, I don’t see reason to censor a word. Censor the person that uses it to express racist opinions or support racist behaviour.

Of course they used the word negro (black) because of the skin color, my point is that the word means a color, it’s how the word has gained the bad meaning that means you cannot use it freely.

A word is a word, censoring it avulsed from context make no sense, it’s brain stupid. Better use it to underline that the concept it express is wrong and must be fought hard at all levels. Racism is wrong, zero tolerance on that, but just don’t be ashamed of words themselves.

Are you serious?

Where are you from?

I hate censorship in every form. Thought forms by using words.

Games only censor to avoid backslash and lawsuits.

The word you referring to is an anglicization of the Nigro Spanish word that just mean black, like the color, nothing to do with skin.

In my language we say “nero” for black… Indeed both are derived from latin

It’s only later that the word got the bad connotation, due to slavery and such.

It’s like if you asked when the word black was attacked to black people, in other words. So, probably, since day one?

Better ask when that word started being a bad word, which is probably in the last very few decades

By the way, that’s true only in English, in most of other languages the “black” or “nigro” or “nero” doesn’t carry the same connotation of that N word (is nigger really that difficult to say?)

Theft is theft. You mean wrong from ethical or law point of view?

If you talk of punishment, then it’s from law point of view so there is no difference.

Ethically, well, that depends, if you hurt the bottom line of a billionaire or if you get a store damage that reflects on the lower employees, like repaying the theft value.

IMHO.

Because you need to control humans, but there is no need for pets.

In fact, it seems that euthanasia and abortion are more difficult where religion is stronger.

'Arr mate, nope you don’t…

Let me be concise and short to the point: AI Is a tool, as any tool, don’t abuse of it. In case of creative writing, just don’t use AI.

Specially if the problem is inspiration or plot, AI will not help you, just dig your grave deeper.

Use AI for small, specific tasks where you can verify what it gives you and that’s all, if use it at all.

Good stuff for a sci-fi movie, but that’s about it.

Nobody is going to phase out fast food or kill meat anytime soon. Not even anytime late…

Nope. Its much safer to crash in a today car. 70’s would break as well and break you more. Both would be totaled anyway in such a case.

Today’s cars are designed to crumple and protect you, older cars transmit more damage to your body.

In that case, you should definitely open the shop.

I think, tough, that your prices will be higher than normal retail, due to volumes and supply chain.

Also, the local “Wall-Mart” (or whatever corporation) would need to sell a very small loss for a few months to kill you, while subsidizing their loss with other shops in other locations…

You can’t win. But you can try and people will undoubtedly appreciate that

You mean including also staff wages? Would that also cover a wage for the owner? Or, in other words, a tiny bit of profit so the owner can live out of it?

At this point, try to put a cap on greed.

My blonde hair kept always confusing small boys. Are your hair yellow or white?

So, there is that, blonde is not a color, it’s a whole spectrum of colors from white, yellow and brown.

Well anyone must have the right to be defended, even rapist and child predators have rights you know…

Even the worst of the human beings is still a human being.
