nah i feel like there's a reasonably large camp of people who consider themselves liberals and do not hate liberals and like a buffer zone around them
it's really just conservatives calling the entire left liberals, and leftists using it for more or less social progressives who are still on board with neoliberal economic policy
in other news i feel scammed by my local thai place i decided to take a gamble on ordering my yellow curry "thai hot" and this is just normal hot this is how spicy i'd expect a curry to be
maybe i'm just spoiled by the local sichuan place where they don't even ask about spice levels because i'm not sure i even remember the last time i saw other white people there
that being said i'm also kinda glad it's within my limits :P
absolutely perfect for getting my sinuses loosened up without overwhelming the rest of the flavor
It's often used to mean "those other people who are more socially/politically liberal than us that we hate" but I've only seen it used by conservatives
I don't see why actual liberals would use the word "liberal" to describe people they hate
Yes, but that connotation still carries over to a lot of people, probably not helped by the term "neoliberal"
If I wanted to use the "willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas" definition, I'd use words like "progressive"
The antonym of the word "conservative" is "progressive" (or sometimes "reactionary" if they don't want to keep things the same, but want to go in the opposite direction of progress). Even the newer definition of "liberal" is slightly off of that axis
So framing things as "liberal vs. conservative" is like having a debate about whether the sky is "blue or colored by quantum mechanics"
ugh, I swear Bluetooth's handling of multiple devices is an ascended bug
like during development Jebediah Bluetooth went "hmm, how shall I handle multiple hosts trying to connect to the same device? ah fuck it, whoever asks first gets it, I'll fix it later" and then the next 2.5 decades of development cemented it into being intended behavior
context: I was using my phone to find my glasses and complained about the lag. My then-partner remarked, "ssh: 'first time?'", and my response was that
Only time I have to deal with laggy SSH is when I'm proxying it through a server in New York, so it's taking like a 1500 mile round trip, with the shitty school internet filtering software adding latency
When I'm SSHing to the server in NY from my house, it feels like it's in the same room as me, no lag whatsoever
This answer to a question about "leftist" academia led me to wonder if the observed tendency towards more progressive and liberal views in more educated people is a product of a chance drift in the Overton Window within academia, or whether there is an actual causative mechanism here.
One way to ...
