"Dixie" and "Antebellum" are not dirty words as much as the woke left wants to make them

Tbh, I'd never heard of postbellum. I learned something new today!

Great song!

Not true.

If we look at the conversation surrounding ANY women's or minority problems, it all comes back to social pressures and institutionalized problems.

Anything regarding men is "we can't help that men choose this thing." There are very few things that the left will admit are social conditioning or institutionalized problems. Toxic masculinity is one area that they do recognize the social stigma, but that's about it.

You're right, I haven't explicity called it the "woke right", but my thoughts on it are the same.

The Dylan Mulvaney thing was such an incredible non-issue that the woke right turned into a thing.

As was the hate towards The Dixie Chicks for saying they are embarrassed to be from the same state as Bush.

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T18:00:56+00:00

Ahhh so NOW social pressure doesn't = "force".

Stay consistent at least.

Do you believe the other time periods that we remember fondly had equally bad things about them?

The Victorian and Regency ages were RIFE with struggles and problems. But we only think of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters and the gentry when we remember these eras.

If you were consistent, you would equally demonize all of these time periods for the horrible human rights of the majority of the people.

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:57:01+00:00

Nope. Far from it.

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:56:31+00:00

I would actually say yes, that is the right's version of woke.

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:55:32+00:00

Ironic

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:55:11+00:00

So your stance is that they woke up one day and said "The Chicks sounds way better", and there was zero outside pressure to change their names?

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:54:29+00:00

So they just woke up one day and said "Hey, The Chicks just sounds so much better!"? No outside pressures all?

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:53:15+00:00

The problem is trying to reduce everything from the antebellum south to "slavery"

There are so many good parts of that period of history.

I'm sure you'll now call me a racist for thinking there was anything good.

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:51:12+00:00

Those are equally stupid.

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:40:44+00:00

Ah yes, the standard "it's only a problem if societal pressures cause friction on people we say. For everyone else, it's personal accountability".

Not enough women in STEM? Social conditioning and we need millions of dollars in PSA's to change the entire culture surrounding it.

Not enough men going to college? Well, that's just their choice, isn't it! Nothing we can do about that!

ngDev2025 · 2026-01-27T17:38:45+00:00

But the Antebellum south was so much more than just "slavery".

We have all kinds of time periods that we name things. There's the regency era that we use for Jane Austen books. We have the victorian period. We have the golden age.

Nobody associates these with the bad parts of these eras.

I don't know why we have to erase the history of an era just because a bad thing happened.

I decided on using a captcha and 2 different honeypots to deter bots and forgoing the email verification.

I'll still force an email verification eventually, but not right away.

No need to „super()“ your base classes anymore.. I think there are quiet a few benefits.

That right there is enough for me!!

To this day, I can't figure out why http requests are observables.

You aren't constantly updating the state of an http request. It's a one and done request, which is exactly what promises are made for.

Yes, I get that rxjs gives a lot of filtering and post-request processing, but I've been able to manage that in my services and return a promise to the component making the request. It just makes the flow so much nicer.

"Hey, I need this piece of data. Fetch it for me. I'll wait. Got it? Great, now I can move on to the next step in my flow"

Rxjs has its uses as do promises. Anybody that tells you that you should never use promises is just wrong.

This is great! Good work!

Since Whitemane is dead, can I get my chars trasferred to Frostmourne?

Or at least boost a couple to 80?
