What type of Chromecast do you use? I recently bought a Chromecast Ultra for a new TV after being happy with a secondhand one for years (3rd gen, I think). The difference in UI was such a disappointing step down. I don’t want a home screen with apps and ads, I just want something I can stream to from my phone! And I can’t say for certain, but it also feels like I get more ads on YouTube compared to using the older Chromecast.

The alt-text panel hints at this, but the problem with making up a fake group everyone can hate is that racists and bigots will stretch the definition to include whatever they want.

We’ve seen it with “antisemitism” being redefined to include any criticism of Israel, and before that “pedophilia” being redefined to include drag queens and parents supporting their trans children. For that reason, hatred like this should not be encouraged, even if it’s imaginary.

Do you have any examples of this? Because my experience is the opposite. It’s the perception that your group is normal, the “default”, and tearing down all of these other groups using phrases exactly like the ones in the comic.

You’re right of course about this being satire. My fear though is that things like this can fall out of the author’s control very quickly, much like Pepe the Frog, and I really don’t want gratch to be a catchall dog whistle.

Thank you for posting this. My introduction to CAD was trying out FreeCAD when I reached the limits of Adobe Illustrator’s accuracy. The interface was so obtuse and difficult to work with I just gave up and assumed all CAD programs were like that. I’ll give Link Branch a shot!

It isn’t called a genetics pagent. Beauty is already subjective enough without layering your myopic view of race on top of it.

Well, according to whatever panel was judging this competition, she had all of those things. But you weren’t talking about that. You said she isn’t “physically or genetically” Japanese, and that that was what “pagents are about”.

Better yet, hire more before the workload increases so you aren’t training newbies during crunch time.
