I found a blog post on it with more photos of the exterior. It’s an ophthalmologist clinic and was apparently built in the 80s.

All g. We probably wouldn’t call them buzzwords, since that implies that they’re ephemeral or faddish.

More often than not we’re using terminology that is specific to the left, or defined differently in leftist academia and discourse to the common usage (see, liberal, imperialism, etc.).

If you’re unsure about the meaning of a given word, it’s worth searching online first, then asking further in your replies if it still doesn’t make sense. Citing your sources is invaluable so you and your interlocutor can interrogate the same info and talk from the same page. We have a (relatively inactive) comm for these types of questions too, and a space for neurodiverse members too.

I don’t have autism so feel wary giving specific advice on how to navigate. However I do find that signalling -why- you are asking a certain question (as you have done elsewhere in this thread), and providing further context, can help people understand your thinking behind a given comment or post, and may help against them assuming the worst and responding with a knee jerk reaction. We get many people trying to cause trouble (‘wreckers’) and some people consider it better to shoot first and ask questions later, since it saves time if the person turns out to be malicious.

I was fortunate to have lurked for a very long time, way back to r/srs and the r/srs rehab equivalent comm. It’s been a long journey but I’m glad you’re asking the same question I had around then, as it shows self awareness.

Have a good one.

What if ‘log off and touch grass’ but actually constructive and well-intentioned advice.

No worries. I’m glad we could resolve this. Please try to engage with the other comments in this thread with the same approach you afforded me. I assure you that each and every other poster in this thread is motivated first and foremost to dismantle harmful tropes.

We usually resort to ridicule and close ranks after people show no intent to engage with any one of us sincerely, like for example when posters ignore one person’s effortful response, only to take issue with another’s elsewhere in the thread.

Also I have to say, I’m not the only one ‘actually’ explaining it to you. My comrades in this thread appear to have taken pains to unpack what’s wrong with your attitude and word choice multiple times before me. I just rephrased what they have by and large already said, so they deserve credit too.

Vile.

Tomato tomato, alternatively, if it walks like a slur, talks like a slur etc. etc.

Hey mate, I’m glad that we can agree that it’s racist. Whether it’s dated (replaced by other slurs) or not is a moot point, since its current usage as a term meaning ‘backwards’ calls upon the same racist tropes of barbarism and tribalism amongst black people.

If you’ve been able to avoid seeing the term used explicitly in this way til now, consider yourself fortunate, and now you are aware of its racist origins and current usage, please reconsider your advocacy of the word.

Thank you PP, whether PoA responds to this comment or not, I found it very clear and insightful.

Oh shit it’s a motherfucking Wikipedia link oh noooooooo

Well, actually, I don’t see literal ‘shit’ here. I see comical pixel recreation of faecal matter however one cannot equate that directly to the aforementioned faecal matter ipso facto. Please give me your postal address so I can enclose some literal shit in an envelope and mail it to you forthwith.

You can delete your posts, but I’m still gunna upbear them, coward

Capitalism is just markets. My god. It all makes sense now.

Oh no improper fraction does not compute initiating emergency reboop

I give it about 80/30

The libs scratch themselves now? They scratch themselves now.

Mate, I’m sending up your solipsistic comment that everyone you’re taking issue with online can only exist in that online space, and that they’re only “communist” when you can identify them as “being obnoxious”. We’re still communist even when we’re not engaging in internet shit fights.
