so you're saying in that hypothetical you would be fired for looking at pictures of your friend on Facebook where they happened to be at the beach?

fired? no

questioned? absolutely

You never said you wanted lewd avatars banned for your own personal reasons, you said you wanted them banned specifically because they make the site NSFW.

I've already conceded, numerous times, that the NSFW concept isn't perfect--at least two or three other people, including cheat himself, have stated that what's considered NSFW is ultimately subjective

so to say that "most" bosses would object to naughty language in the workplace is irrelevant, because cheat isn't most bosses, and he doesn't think that words are as offensive as pornography can be

You're against pictures because they're not safe for work, but NSFW words are acceptable? That's hypocrisy, plain and simple.

except it isn't, because, again, everyone has their own standard for what NSFW is

my standards happen to be rather inline with cheat's, by the looks of things, which is why I keep referencing myself

Oh my god, please don't try to argue that certain words don't carry negative social values with them inherently. This is beneath you.

they don't inherently carry negative social values, no
we give it that negative social value

there is no word god in the sky that personally ordains all words to be inherently offensive
come on now

I guarantee you that 90% of modern bosses would fire you immediately if they saw you had the word "nigger" on your screen in almost any context. It doesn't matter if you agree with that or not, it still makes the word nigger NSFW.

so we should be like dumbfuck bosses who are offended by words

that's what you're saying

okay

And secondly, as a side note, please tell me how the human body is more ethically condemnable than words of hatred and racism to you.

because "nigger" isn't a word of hatred and racism on its own

it's an n
followed by an I
followed by two g's
an e
and an r

that's all it is

once you CALL someone a nigger, with vitriolic intent, then you have yourself a bannable offense

this isn't complicated

NSFW is pretty clear - if your boss were to look what's on your screen at any given moment, would he find it acceptable?

I just said--any boss who's going to get his panties in a bunch over simple words is a total fucktard

porn is a different story

Ahhh I see. Another case of whatever Verbatim thinks is correct = perfectly correct.

if I didn't think I was "perfectly correct", I wouldn't be arguing about it, would I

why not call out slash for thinking HE'S "perfectly correct"

oh yeah, because you're on his side
real fair, bubba

Kojima thought "Gas Snake" was stupid

yet he came up with "Dirty Duck"
and "Deepthroat"

holy shit lol

walk into your job and start casually saying these words or having them on your screen

see how long you have a job

any job that would fire you for saying "fuck" faster than you'd get fired for watching porn is a shit job

porn will always be worse than words in terms of social acceptance
get over it

you're not really meant to question their codenames--they're just codenames

fuck no

What a hypocrite

except not at all

"Whole career" should be censored to "pineapple"

fuck yes

snow is cool

yeah try living up north and saying that lol

here, the only reason anyone would like winter is because it gives them an excuse for their sedentary-ass life

Naggers?

here's a funny story

when we were kids--back in, like, middle school--and we were just getting into pokemon, there was always that kid who was the biggest know-it-all ever, right? he knew where to find all the pokemon, he knew where to get each item, he had a level 100 charizard, etc. etc. etc.--he was basically the most insufferable pokemon master ever, to the point were he would nag at people when they didn't do certain things right

for example--"why would you waste your master ball on a suicune? why not save it for lugia?"
or "you realize rock and ground are two very different types, right?"

so he had this reputation of being a nagger--so that's what we called him--"Norton the nagger"
(his name wasn't actually "Norton"--but it did start with an N, to help with the alliteration)

so one day, we were just chilling with him, playing, and I asked him--"hey, what's your favorite pokemon, anyway?"

he said "gengar"

and I was like, "oh, cool" as I went back to playing
and suddenly, it hit me:

"gengar" is an anagram for "nagger"
and I start bursting out laughing

I don't know why I told you this story--you used that word, and it brought back that memory.

Winter. But, I only know Texas Winter so it's not as Winter as Winter. But I love the clothes for it, among other things.

yeah, the best thing about winter is that I get to wear my nice jackets

but >michigan

Winter.
I like snow. It's quite pretty in the countryside. The dog also loves to play in it. I like driving the plow truck around at work. Snowy back roads are fun with RWD.  Snow is good.

Oh, and I get to wear jackets.  For like, eight months out of the year it's just too warm to wear any.

where do you live again

lol mad cuz rekt
