Neither a wholesome meme, nor an accurate statistic, anecdotally speaking.

Jesus, King of the Mews.
He spent three days in his tomb, tongue firm against his maxilla palette. He mewed for your sins.
Forgive them father, for they mouth-breathe.
Now go forth, and posture like your savior.
That recent episode of The Reversal is coming to mind...
Um, excuse me, this is magenta.
IMO, the second sentence feels like it's cut off because I'm expecting an adjective at least, like:
He gazed toward the elementary school with a glint in his eye.
Or,
As his gaze drifted toward the elementary school; his nose grew, as he muttered 'I wouldn't hurt them'.
Though the one-sentence format is preferable for me.
I would hope Switzerland isnt stupid enough to do this. Their reputation as a country is based around trust. Dozens of highly profitable privacy based companies would be forced to relocate.
While these companies make up a very small percentage of the GDP, they'd take people out of work, hurt their reputation, and take a minor blow to their budget.
Though, this isnt considering future prospects; the Proton suite is getter better, fast. It wouldn't surprise me, if in a few years, their suite could rival Google's or Microsoft's.
It could be very profitable in the future, but kneecapping the VPN would really slow things down.
The Mr. Plinkett cat.
You’re erring on the side of caution, and I get the impulse. But there’s a fine line between giving voice to the unheard and drowning out the current conversation by crusading on their behalf without actually checking whether they wanted a champion in the first place.
Language isn’t static, and if people who would’ve been the target of a slur no longer feel targeted by a modern, benign use of the word, maybe it's worth listening to them instead of getting stuck in etymological guilt.
This is essentially justification for tone policing, language gate keeping, or inventing offenses that marginalized groups themselves aren't actually calling out.
Campaigning on their behalf looks less like allyship and more like self-importance wrapped in a savior complex.
"The pejorative nature kind of got lost somewhere along the way."
Not according to some, who I'm surprised havent descended into this comment section yet.
It genuinely amazes me that some people learn of a racist origin and immediately crusade against it, on behalf of people who dont give a fuck.
Words change. When the majority of people are using a phrase in a benign manner, then dragging the racist origins back into the light is a really dumb way to fight against bigotry.
Guilt tripping people into adapting new phrasing isn't just arrogant and patronizing; it's counterproductive - it makes the actual fight against racism seem petty and performative.
'Really wanting to stay at your house' and 'pon pon shit'
I can't tolerate not calling them drug holidays.
I haven't played this version of Tetris before.
