@maritroniuity That's... weird and disturbing.
Is there any way you can go over there in person?

@codeawayhaley Oh, yeah, that does make sense. Hopefully conlangers will be open-minded enough to realize the problem.

@iona I think it depends on what exchange you use for converting Real Money ™ to BTC.

@codeawayhaley I'm fine with "Yuletide"; I got the impression you were looking for something else.

@codeawayhaley Maybe "Saturnalia"? I mean, that's what it was <s>stolen</s> adapted from, iirc...

@Antanicus Sure.
Members of the dominant culture are saying they "feel excluded". This is a phrase which was developed for the purpose of helping to encourage inclusion of those who have, in fact, been excluded -- but in this case, it is being used as a protest *against* inclusion, i.e. usage of Māori words (representation of minority culture) in high-profile media venues.
Does that make sense?
It seems very much analogous to complaints of "when do we get White History Month?" here in the US.

@Antanicus Gotta love that whole { using the language of inclusion to promote exclusion } thing. >.<

Well anyway... goodnight, Mastodon! Last one out don't forget to switch off the Rails.
...or at least stick them in the fridge so they don't go off.
We've all seen where that leads.

Don't forget Bad Commander Filename.
He got written out of the series early because he couldn't get his lines right.

I feel like they're trying to wreck the machine. They keep breaking off pieces of it, tossing random stuff into the gears, and yet the small amounts of chaos this has caused in some parts (e.g. Nazis running people over, people being homeless, people dying from lack of healthcare) hasn't yet spread into general chaos.
I keep wondering if there is some critical point we have yet to cross where the damage will accelerate instead of damping out.

Bigotry is not the same as fascism. Fascists want to control society, and are willing to lie about their motives in order to gain that control.
It's arguable that they are victims, but they have chosen to blame the wrong people and to ruthlessly act against the people they are blaming.
They are in many ways a tool of the plutonomy -- they do distract us from the systemic problem of capitalism, but they're no less a real problem themselves.
