I think it's useful in describing part of the dynamics with rhetorical dogwhistles, but it absolutely telling on oneself if one's only issue with bigoted language is that they didn't use the euphemism version.

I've seen commenters across lemmy suggesting NATO should invade the US to fix its government lmao

Example 1

Example 2 (from OP linked thread)

"I don't like what was on the news last term, surely the complete opposite end of the political spectrum, the other party, will finally fix things going forwards! I'm going to uncritically repeat this behavior for the rest of my life btw"

Probably predominantly from that mountain that Rio Tinto/Kennecott Copper continues to decimate

edit—from the article:

The mine is owned by Rio Tinto Group, a British-Australian multinational corporation.

So yeah

I was once in a discord where chat was slowed down to like 5min per message in general, 30min per for bug reports/complaints, at a time where the launcher had a bug with a fairly simple workaround that would be easy to direct the deluge of users towards... If you could speak more than once every 5 minutes. People were constantly shooting their once per 5min shot, and the answer was constantly being drowned out by a combination of yapping and new people asking the question. The answer was not pinned, tho even if it was you couldn't just tell people to check pins because you couldn't send them a reply to begin with.

They put the timers in to deal with the influx of people complaining that they couldn't play the game. I couldn't help keep the answer in view because I wasn't a moderator, and all of the mods/admins only wrote a few messages an hour telling people to shut the fuck up 🥴

Interesting to note that the original photo was hella staged to make it look perfect like that while actually just being a diorama. It's pretty poetic; it's all fake/staged, reflecting the actions of doge and honestly everything from Elon as a whole

That's only if you ever had any legal changes to your gender marker and/or pass so well it confuses whoever's looking at your paperwork.
