The misunderstanding of your objection comes from the fact that I’ve just never heard of it in the context of “giving good weather and taking it away” as in “Indian giver”. The fact that they both have the word Indian the only connection I can make to what you’re saying. The only references I can find to a pejorative origin is in articles from years ago saying that the phrase possibly needs to be changed because of possible negative origins. Obviously culture hasn’t decided it’s necessary to change the phrase (yet). The fact that it’s used as a positive metaphor for non-weather things should be considered too.
I’ve never heard of it used with that connotation. Even the most PC people I know use the phrase. Just because it uses the word “Indian” doesn’t automatically make it a pejorative. Some native Americans/first people call themselves Indian.
Yes, people want new stuff, problem is blizzard doesn’t know how to make games anymore. All of the giants who made the magic happen left the company before the sexual harassment shitstorm. All they do now is capitalize on nostalgia.
Why is everyone ignoring the fact that the guy is promoting a $50 clear plastic case for the phones? he literally has a cash incentive to make them look weak. If you push any caseless phone between your fingers with full force like that you’re bound to break most of them.
I’ve learned a lot from lurking the unfettered conversation that happens here, subjects that I’ve never heard of discussed in great detail. The shitposting is next level. Just a great mix of leftie content here. Also, the site logo is fire.
In my last apartment I was charged $800 for carpet upon moving in because “the previous tenants ruined it and the incoming tenants are responsible” somehow. I argued with it but ultimately I needed a place immediately because my roommate at the time was stealing my stuff. Guess who only got $100 of their $950 deposit back because “the carpet needed replacing” on the way out. Also tried to leave a nasty google review and they petitioned google to remove it and google actually removed it.
Thanks comrade. Glad you made it out OK. I wish someone that I looked up to had been there to say it 25 years ago. Though my partner and I are living childfree, I hope to spread that sort of influence to the youngins in our family.
Raise your hand if you were described as “bright and promising” in early school years and “wasted potential” by your early twenties. Bonus if you were also told your favorite interests were a waste of time.
