People want the name "Hawaiian Pizza" changed...
The name “Hawaii” is associated with the history of colonialism and appropriation, because it is precisely with the pineapple cultivation that the indigenous population was exploited by white settlers. The debate is therefore not directly about racism, but about “colonial stereotypes”.
- The Hawaiian pizza. Invented by a Greek immigrant in Canada. You can’t get more authentic than that._niko
- With pizza concocted by Italians using tomatoes first grown in Central America with bread first baked in Egypt and cheese founded in Poland_niko
- Everyone should be up in arms.
Tossing pizza dough in the air that is :)_niko

Why I think wokeness is so hard to get down with and why most people secretly despise transsexuals: It's not because of their orientation per se, but there is something about their attitude which makes them unbearable...
A transgender right activist (for example) is happy to meet a likeminded person, who supports transgenders, but they are even happier to meet someone who doesn't.
There is some kind of pleasure in conflict for them. All minorities either need someone to hate or to be hated to define themselves, otherwise they just blend in with the rest population (which ironically is their goal on paper).The explanation is always the same: sexual dissatisfaction, and sexually dissatisfied people are motivated in general, in regards to any objective.

MTV officially changed "Moon Man" to "Moon Person" to represent all genders as a part of its commitment to inclusion.
"It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it could be nonconformist," MTV president Chris McCarthy says of "Moon Person"

Not sure how behind I am, but...
InDesign: I just spent a minute looking for "Apply master to pages" when you right-click a page.
They changed it to apply PARENT. AAAHHH ok
Not mad at it, I don't think the word master is problematic, but it's a minute of my life to adjust so whatever. I guess less use of Master means less use of Slave

"You can't choose who you are attracted to" is a corner stone in LGBT. French and English have a fitting expression for it -- "to fall in love" with emphasis on "fall", as if it is something that happens to you externally and you just have to deal with it.In a way there is freedom in this, because falling in love is not a rational decision and you cannot be made responsible for it.
But its negotiable when it comes to transphobic lesbians who are not attracted to deep voice, strong jawline, broad shoulders and male genitalia. They need to put in some work to overcome their transphobia. Problem is, how is it different from conversion therapy for gays etc?
Even if some of the lesbians caved in, how would you feel to find out that your partner is with you out of pity/trying to be politically correct/they were able to overcome their disgust? This would have swept the legs under my confidence, so why would anyone fight for this to happen? I can see only one reason: m2fs are after sex and nothing else. If that's the case I can judge the m2fs as a fellow biological man.
Based on this, is transphobia even a thing? Difficult question.
Discuss
- yes transphobia is a thing. also why would you want to date someone who you think is transphobic? they dont want your junk, then they dont want your junk.pango
- i wonder what's the rate of m2fs fighting for the ummm whatever it is in the article.
cant be everyone of them right? right?pango - There are always some who are extra zealous. Their arguments can be compared to: "If you are straight, you're a homophobe"drgs
- yes. and i'd reply that's not how anyone describe homophobic. then proceed to stop paying attention to them.pango

Modified nomenclature to promote diversity and inclusion
We have replaced non-inclusive terminology to support core Adobe values of diversity and inclusion. From InDesign 2022 (version 17.0) onwards, you'll reference Parent pages (called Master pages earlier) for applying page layouts, design, and style.

Everyone who's scratching his/her head at this PC madness, MUST read Thomas Sowell's "Intellectuals and Society" - this provides historical context and countless examples of significant waves within society that blew up in some people's faces just as this craziness will. Because it goes deep into history, it will make you feel good to realize that this nonsense is nothing new. There were always huge groups of madmen willing to embrace loony ideas.
- it's an overcompensation for the human condition. we need a baseline approach to how people treat eachother, something a child can understand - and go from therSteveJobs
- a child understands already, everyone tries to teach that child how to live and that causes confusions throughout generations.uan
- As someone who has young kids and see other parents strange ways, I'm not sure there is such a thing as "baseline".pr2
- Things that appear immediately good, blow up in people's faces in "long run," and vice versa. I have countless first-hand accounts of that.pr2
- i'd classify baseline as things that lead to the mutual happiness of self and others. being selfless, considerate, honest, compassionate, etc. - all easy to do.SteveJobs
- it's what we know deep down to be right as it resonates with us. do your best and assume the best of others in spite of our imperfections. rinse, repeat.SteveJobs
- holy shit... Sowell's already 90 :(PonyBoy

I though it's some satirical joke so i had to look it up to confirm that it's real. Yes, childish colorful drawings with some childish little girl voice to recruit future "warriors":
Just as i read Thomas Sowell's "Intellectuals and Society" chapter about WWII and how the strongest military in Europe (French) folded to Hitler's Germany in just a few weeks because their soldiers were raised on come beginning-of-century woke pacifism.
- gotta get them when they're young. they have used video games for recruitment. doesn't seem far off.pango
- also as recruitment standards keep going up, the eligible young males' pool are getting smaller and smaller. hence the female recruitment.pango
- as for the french, you need to consider they were at many wars. it costs the society a lot of money and stress on the general public. anyone would grow tired ofpango
- wars eventually.pango
- why do you think every US president election every candidate were promising to pull out of X war.pango
- the point is that wars are fought and won not only with weapons but ALSO a spirit. The French have lost that fighting spirit during WWII (despite weapons).pr2
- The same loss of fighting spirit is visible here where to attract the future "warriors" you use childish images, VO and symbols.pr2
- Gotta get them interested when they're young. Otherwise college might be a better I deal when they get older.pango
- What's this spirit you're talking about?pango
- Idea*pango
- Good time to stop funding the military.Gnash
- good idea but hard. any us senate who says that, will stop receiving campaign funding from weapon manufactures.pango
- the spirit that drives us to sacrifice - something so worthy of the cause, that we risk putting our lives on the line.pr2
- here in this cartoon this concept is purposefully camouflaged by childish colors and VO.pr2
- I question if whoever signs up based on this version of "reality" will ever be ready for the sort of sacrifice army historically calls for.pr2
- first of all who do you think the target audience is? and I still don't get this 'spirit you're talking about. how would you visualize it if you are to pitch itpango
- Using cartoons for this is wildly innappropriate. What the fuckscarabin
- We can’t use cartoons to sell tobacco but we can use it to urge idiot kids to become murderers?scarabin
- Exactly. +Showing how she got dragged into politics when she was just a kid is a very bad idea.sted
- "Raised by 2 moms... who also wanted to fight for their country when they were my age but the army told them that lesbians are lesser people & can't be heroes"nb
- Her story is true. The voice is hers. It's showing how "anyone" can be in the military. And the military is allowed to recruit, after all. Not just to meatheadsmonospaced
- Cartoon is cool, but not really appropriate for this audience, I agree.monospaced
- By showing that "anyone" can be in the army, you implicitly discourage those who might have real interest in this profession.pr2
- Her voice doesn't sound like that to anyone around her in real life, just as yours doesn't sound the same when recorded.pr2
- To use this childish-sounding voice was some creepy choice.pr2
- her holding proverbial "peace" & "love" sign is the ultimate hypocrisy showing truly Machiavellian forces behind this cartoon.pr2
- I agree, pr2.MondoMorphic
- @pr2 u got that reaching out to young people was the goal here. which cannot be accomplished by bloodshed and the reality of war.sted
- That's her voice tho. Is she not good enough for the military for you?pango
- @pr2 ahaha yess that is the biggest contradiction in these two and half minutes of WTFsted
- there is a paralle between your complaints and Leni Riefenstahl's complaints on how real soldiers don't look like the ideal soldier you imagined.pango
- and to the rest of you who don't like military recruitment propaganda. i don't like em as well but i hope you hold G.I. Joe and the likes to the same criticism.pango
- they're all military propaganda aim at kids. it's fun to research which movie had their scripts approved by the military.pango
- lol pango why bring that shit into this argument? fucked up army starts when you have to lower required performance limits in order to show up diversitysted
- ah ic pr2 mentioned WW2 and hitler lol.
he could mention the good old Hungarian army in Europe, we did the same.sted - @pr2. "peace" & "love" sign. you're right that is pretty stupid. but considered who their target is. it's kinda called for. lolpango
- They came in wigs with swords on decorated horses, we just had soldiers hungry for blood with arrows from which there was no escape.sted
- "By showing that "anyone" can be in the army, you implicitly discourage those who might have real interest" hmmm a touch bit too much superiority complex?pango
