    What nonsense.

    Stamp collecting is obviously the right place to argue about Linux instead.

      See I was thinking the same thing. But if I may interject for just a moment, what you’re referring to as Stamp Collecting, is in fact, GNU/Stamp Collecting, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stamp Collecting.

    Stamp collecting is linked to conservatism and people who collect them are fascist, I know this because I’m a Trotsky socialist and my political ideology is flawless.

      “o_o”

      Do you not understand what that means to ethnic Koreans? It’s derived from the 1940s Japanese expressicon often used after they dressed slaves like animals to amuse themselves. The Koreans were no longer people in their eyes, they were less. Less than human, less than even beasts. They were servile dolls to be toyed with and discarded, which reflected in the Japanese refusing to use names or even the word “who.” The progenitor of your emote was often used as follows:

      “(。O ω O。) what is this?”

      You may not be aware of this, but “reeee” is “autistic screeching” and is pretty ableist/offensive. I used to use it a lot myself until I learned that.

            I might agree if it wasn’t such a big joke among the autistic people I know.

            Then again, most of those spastic motherfuckers joke about “sperging out” too, so maybe they’re just assholes.

              They can make that joke because they’re the ones making it and they control the usage/boundaries. Just like how my queer family member will sometimes go “dude that was super gay of you” but if someone said that to him that wouldn’t be cool. The dynamics are totally different

                Eeehhhhhh, I think the key is that it isn’t a universal thing to autistic people. I’m sure there are some that care about it, some that are neutral as well. If it really was something that even simple majority of autistic people objected to, it would be like what you’re talking about.

                But that’s what I’m talking about, it doesn’t seem to be something that the autistic community as a group give two shits about it. I’ve literally never heard any autistic person say that it was inherently a bad thing, and the only objection I’ve heard about 'sperg as a term is from people that object to it being inaccurate.

                Now, if someone is making use of such things to belittle or harass them, then you’ll see some shit go down. It could be a regional thing, I don’t know as many people outside of the tri-county area. It is definitely possible that the fairly rural and relaxed locality means that the people here don’t give a shit, but people in cities, or other states could.

                Point being that no single person has the authority to speak for another group at all, and even someone from that group can only speak for the rest and considered authoritative if that position comes from consensus. I have never seen a consensus that autistic people object to reeee-ing as a group. If there is such a consensus, I withdraw my objection to your objection (lol).

                  I’m not saying it’s universal. I’m saying it’s not your joke to make - if you have a relationship with somebody it potentially impacts where that is the way y’all banter, then go ahead. But in your day-to-day life with the broader public it doesn’t suddenly give you permission to use ablest language. Intention doesn’t change that.

          You may not be aware of this, but assuming someone’s facetiousness is a statement about someone’s trustworthiness and is pretty passive aggressive. I used to do it a lot myself until the fire nation attacked.

            You may not be aware of this, but using the term Fire Nation to describe a unitary directorial ecclesiocracy attacking you is offensive to the lumen people of Firetown. I used to use it a lot myself until I drowned inside Wade Ripple.

    How lucrative is the stamp market these days? what sort of network/infrastructure beyond going to the post office or retail chain and asking for a roll/book of stamps is there?

    tournaments, meet-ups, leagues?

    who are the artists making the images on the stamp?

    smells of secret society, cmv
