Came here to mention this one. I'll be 36 soon and that story still haunts me 20 some odd years after reading it in class. Link for the curious.

ignore brands whose identities amount to "RGB lights, edgy packaging, and GAMER in big letters", they're overpriced shit 100% of the time.

it's been a long time for me too lol, took some googling to find the name "mortron". i remember the alien you're talking about but i don't remember what it's called or which book.

i don't disagree with that person but it's a weird hill to die on, and their behavior is an atrocious embarassment to all feminists and queer people. nobody is going to change their mind after reading that stuck-up, insulting, pendantic rant.

you're not wrong BUT
cramming nuanced and counterintuitive sociological topics down peoples' throats and then calling them bigots and idiots when it doesn't click right away makes you look like a crazy person. if i didn't already agree with you i'd be far less inclined adopt your viewpoint after having an interaction like this, because every time it came up again i would remember your smug ass on a high horse wielding it like a cudgel and mentally disengage.
you need to ease up and give people time to explore and integrate new ideas and perspectives, especially things like this that involve subtleties of linguistics and human psychology - not insult them and storm off when it doesn't take right away. acting this way just makes people double down on their position.

itt people trying to logic out a definition from an english word as if it's meant to be anally descriptive jargon and not a colloquial term with tons of historical context

it's still a market, and "free" is still a price point

yes because having assigned reading material directly and specifically relevant to the subject of the class is exactly the same as registering for a website full of shitposts and propaganda bots. remember when you got all that spam from opening your textbook, and there was an entire chapter calling you out for being a little bitch?
that's the stupidest comparison i've ever heard.

"hey there's this thing called lemmy, check it out some time" <- leading a horse to water
"ok you have to register an account on lemmy, it's part of your grade" <- shoving a hose down the horse's throat and cranking the spigot
