gylotipLMAO THEY GOT BUSTED
nebula42Who tf even uses barmen I've never heard that before
st3ph3nIt's the more common term in British English.
XYZinfernoSomeone in this thread linked the original post, which was referring to a town called Barmen
maessGertenders at it again
JakyllaDon't know why he's so annoyed, maybe you didn't throw his database, but still something happened, I'm pretty sure...
No, it's just a pretty lame joke that got repeated like five million times.
Unfortunately our community breeds an extremely self-referential, repetitive humour that can get quite annoying. Like that one guy pissing his pants laughing because 42 hahahaha.
Haha little Bobby tables 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I came here to pour one out for little Bobby tables!
A lot of these jokes are literally older than some of the people in my computer science program
new inside joke just dropped
We still have more jokes than anarchy chess, though
dylanTheDeveloperSounds like someone needs to google en passant.
Holy hell
At this point attempting to talk with an insecure firebase connection would give more results
Nice! My mom used to do that.
do what? barmen?
No, bartenders.
Not just the barmen but the barwomen and barchildren, too.
I don't like SQL. It's unstandardized and ugly and irritating - and it gets everywhere.
manielit's just common joke, looks like dev got wooshed
I think dev is pointing out how poorly it was applied here; the whoosh is you.
We are all whooshed on this blessed day.
Do you or do you not feel whooshed? Because you look whooshed.
Speak for yourself.
I am all whooshed on this blessed day!
xavier666The bot roasted the guy
I can't be the only one who thinks having a bot to go round pestering people for saying things like barmen is a little ridiculous right?
TrippyTortugaI had a comment removed (I forget which subreddit) because I used the word “crazy.” Got linked to this list: autistichoya.com/…/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avo…
That's so dumb, I think you have to be going out of your way to get offended by the word crazy
Dogdumb
omg your ableims is amazingly strong i bet u also like genocide and domestic violence omg
73rdNemesioYou think you can come on here and join the discussions without opposable thumbs!?
without opposable thumbs
omg this is so ableist against ppl who don't have opposable thumbs
i just so happen to have both thumbs on the same side what are you saying bro omg omg this is so ableistic
That page has to be satire... right?
The whole "police your language, so there's no chance anyone could ever be offended" idea is such an oppressive path to a more equal society.
That's a path to inequality, not equality. Trying to silence people because you don't like certain words is a bit of fascism in itself, which these people claim to be against.
It’s called “differently sanitied”, you monster!
AnActualFossilYou did it again!
Blind to ____ / turn a blind eye to ____ / blinded by ignorance/bigotry/etc. / double-blind review Refers to Blind, low-vision, or sight-limited people. Often used as a metaphor. Consider instead: willfully ignorant, deliberately ignoring, turning their back on, overcome by prejudice, doubly anonymous, had every reason to know, feigned ignorance
Those alternatives dont mean the same thing.
Margot RobbieBots on reddit are just so universally annoying and most of them provide no value at all. Most of them should have been banned on sight anyways.
I modded a niche outdoor community sub and I banned every bot that found its way there. Sorry, but we don't need a metric conversion bot nor a grammar correcting bot.
Yeah, because the best part of reddit was the human interaction, and having bots proliferate everywhere just kills that entirely.
The auto-tldr bot was/is pretty useful
"most bots" leave auto summarize bot, reminder bot, repost detection bot about of that.
And Gandolf bot.
And prequel bots
I suspect if you are trying to build an inclusive community but don't have a lot of diversity already, the only thing you can really do to change the culture is to remind people to be considerate in the way they speak. And if most people who would be offended aren't actually part of the community (but you would like them to feel welcome to join), then you might want some bot rather than a person to be the “narc” and remind people to be on their best behavior. So I guess if the mods are the only ones who want to be nice, then yes, it is a bit ridiculous because it will never work. Even if people change their language, they won't be nice. But if most people want things to change, it could be a helpful way to both remind you to be inclusive and get the few people who would rather talk about how having to say bartender is censorship (without actually defending why they want to make a point of saying “barmen”) to realize that they either have to change the way they talk in that particular community or find a better fit.
onlookerHow did the author know the poster was in his 40s? Or was it just a guess?
Post history probably
People like to creep through others' post history to try and find a basis for ad hominem attacks when their comment or argument isn't clever enough to stand on its own
