I guess you've never experienced school.
I say the above as a bit tongue in cheek. I've made similar statements in the past regarding being asked to implement a language/bad-word filter on a sight. By contrast, "That is the most fucking bad-ass thing I've ever seen," is a positive statement but uses words that would normally be filtered. While the former statement is completely insensitive and insulting without using any "bad" words.
You cannot solve bullying by banning words. Especially in cases when those words are used in an entirely different context, having an entirely different meaning, without any profound malevolence.
White people don't get to say "nigga - no, it's okay, I'm not saying nigger!"
The other confusing thing here is that people are asking for the freedom to do what they like with someone else's property, and when that person asks them to modify their behaviour they lose their shit.
This is just github saying "no shirt, no service". What happened to "their servers, their rules"?
Seriously, advance directives give doctors useful information about keeping you alive / letting you die.
Don't say things like "no heroic measures", because that's a rare occasion. Be specific.
You're right, though. Those doctors were wrong, and that's why it's a thing. They should have involved the patient, and the family, in the decision.
No it doesn't. Where's your proof?
Plenty of people have said plenty of nasty things throughout the years, and no one died.
Yet our empire uses remote control drones to bomb small children, and that's totally OK. (Now there's a real "culture that causes actual harm")
What is really harmful, and what isn't? Take a good, hard look around.
Sticks and stones (and bombs) will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Try it. Go on. Call me whatever you want. And watch me not give two fucks what you think.
