>There's no discussing things with racists or homophobes.

Good thing I'm neither, and you discussing with me proves that I'm not. QED.

>Sorry, I'm done with you.

Glad you admit defeat.

>"Fag" and the N word are slurs,

Except no one is calling people those. Stop moving the goalposts and stop creating strawmen.

>and there's no escaping that

Just did above, with bulletproof logic. QED.

>no matter what your cognitive dissonance says). I hope you grow up someday and learn this.

There's your famous IMAX-level projection!

I won.

>Your argument rests on 4chan not existing the real world.

Wrong, 4chan is a subset of "the greater real world", and therefore has different sensibilities, culture, etc. Exactly how Blacks can say the n-word and it's not offensive, they have their own sensibilities and customs, and are a subset of "the greater real world." QED. Argument is proven factually correct here. I win.

>Your entire premise is faulty, because it does.

Just proved my entire premise is logically consistent and bullet proof.

> "Fag" is a slur on planet earth (where the 4chan users reside). There's no argument beyond that.

Stop shifting the goal posts. No one is calling anyone "fag" in this instance. Even then, using the logic above it is not a slur.

>There's no argument beyond that.

You're right, because I 100% proved my point and there's no argument that can say otherwise.

I win. Any response from you is you admitting that I'm right and that I won.

>“Fag” is most definitely a slur.

No one is being called a "fag" though.

>A slur you’re arguing it’s ok to use.

I've successfully argued that "Archfag", "oldfag", etc. are not slurs, and are therefore OK to use. QED.

Your reply is nonsensical / a non sequitur. Where I live the local utility is 100% renewable anyway.

>1) A person is being insulted

You got this wrong, it's not an insult. Somethingfag such as "oldfag", "newfag", "Archfag", etc. are not insults whatsoever. They're shibboleth terms for "old users", "new users", "Arch users".

Your entire premise is incorrect.

>2) The language of the insult is a comparison to another group of people.

No one is being insulted, so this point is also wrong.

>3) Being a member of that group is supposed to be a bad thing, which is what makes it an insult.

You're projecting here big time. No one there is tying any negativity or positivity to the "fag" suffix, only you are.

>4) Therefore the person believes that group of people is in some way inferior, bad, or otherwise undesirable in some way.

Nonsensical since nothing is being tied to inferiority, "badness", or anything undesirable.

You still don't get it.

The $10 a month is a service charge to be connected to the grid with a meter, so you can send energy to the grid to get money back, or use the grid when your solar isn't generating enough energy.

I think that's fair. It pays for the meter, the transformer you're connected to, the grid circuit, etc.

"No comment" is equal to "silence is violence". You're directly involved in and complicit in the crime if you don't make public statements.
>Active Directory is Microsoft's proprietary tech that is a modification of the Kerberos standard

And LDAP, and some DNS, and certs, etc. It's not just Kerberos; you're sounding ignorant here.

>Group permissions predate AD by decades

No one said otherwise, but it goes beyond basic POSIX groups with things like nested groups, delegated group permissions, etc.

>SSO in today's form is a web phenomenon

So is AD's...

Basically, you're proving my point.

Indeed. The amount of "new tech" around auth leaves me head scratching. So many of the problems these start-up types are trying to solve have been solved by something like a well maintained Active Directory 10+ years ago.

Group permission, PAM, SSO, etc. It's like these developers have never been exposed to Active Directory ever in their life...

Which is not a transphobic take, it's a logical, biologically correct take.
