I just learned that the British colony of Queensland, Australia, adopted the Maltese cross as the state badge and on the flag in 1876 for reasons unknown

I don't want to answer a specific user about the name connotations but, isn't the load of a word dependant of the intention? My friends and I call each other whores. And conversely one can use "woman" as a very badly loaded vocative.

There is some correlation I guess, but I generaly agree. Not all homophobes are secretly gay but those who are, guess what, wouldn't be if it weren't for the systemic homophobia.

It rubs me the wrong way because it appears in the comments everytime a homophobic crime happens. Yeah, he must be secretly gay. Might be, might be not, but meanwhile we have already closed the case as an internal problem. Just queers killing/abusing/assaulting each other.

New to Australian politics... Is it "to be determined after the election so everybody hopes they will get one" or am I being too cynic?

For some reason I had to use homebrew and it made me discover FOSS and the terminal. I started switching to GIMP, Scribus and others on Mac and ended up jumping to Linux.

Beware, MacOS was my gateway to Linux.

And many Michelin-starred chefs, and it's very normalised because "what they learn from the very best is priceless". Which is true but also no excuse for precarious wages.

Ah, shit, I liked nim :(

I didn't, and I was looking for something similar, thanks!

Saw this somewhere else on Lemmy:
