Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[Ginger Piglet]

Or even better, tell her not to go onto your computer, then change the password to your computer.

Also, thinking ahead here, you might want to just double check for both hardware and software keyloggers to see that she's not grabbing your passwords that way. MalwareBytes can discover most software keyloggers as can most standard antiviruses but some programs can be whitelisted by the antivirus or have the ability to appear as something innocuous in Task Manager. A good trick is that if you're dubious about a process, to open containing folder and see where it leads. If it looks like a Windows process (i.e. it's called something like "winsys64.exe") but isn't in System32, that can be suspicious.

Hardware keyloggers are rarer but look like an adapter between the keyboard plug and the USB or PS/2 socket. Those are defeated simply by pulling them out and binning them.

If you have saved your password on any device to which she has access, even if you don't select "stay logged in" or similar, if you're on Firefox at least, she can look it up in the saved logins list. Change your password and do not save it.

Yeah, it could be that - I know I've been on the family computer sometimes, and I do use firefox or chrome, which has the feature as well.

As for my laptop, I'm going to start using a randomly generated password instead of song lyrics or whatever, and I;m going to start logging out of apps on my phone when I'm not using it.

Ah, the trials of a tumblrina sister.

Just make her stop intruding on your personal accounts. This is your actual problem, not the password security.

tbh I'd punch my sibling in the face if they pulled that shit.

I was telling my far left relative about the CK2 exploit where you borrow money form the Jews then expel them and she told me I was an anti-semite. Also called me a polack because I'm Polish so I could "understand" what the kid I called autistic felt.

Is "Polack" offensive?

Logging on to any service on a public computer is highly inadvisable, but if you must, ensure that the computer is not set to remember your credentials. In all honesty though, the password is just a symptom of a larger problem, and from the rough image of it, it seems that a person to person resolution is probably not possible, perhaps you should get your parents to step in?

Also, she literally only messes with your friends list? that seems like an incredibly lame way to abuse someone else's account.

Is "Polack" offensive?

The noun Polack (/ˈpoʊlɑːk/ or /-læk/); in the contemporary English language, is an ethnic slur and a derogatory reference to a person of Polish descent.
...

The poles probably don't like it, but it's pretty tame on a scale of honkey to nigger.

Polacks are offensive.

 

[Adamska]

It's so old a term that I don't think you'd piss anyone off except if you went to a part of a city called Little Warsaw or something and did it to an old person living there. I at best think it's a slightly less old timey term for stupid.

I remember one girl from a CPR/First Aid course.

The instructor's telling us about how we need to get consent before performing choking countermeasures.
Instructor: "If you ask them if they want you to help them and they say no, you do nothing."
Class is silent.
Instructor: "But the moment they pass out, you do not need consent. You have implied consent."
We hear a chair screech and most of the people turn around to see one blonde girl, couldn't be older than 20, standing and looking completely shocked.
Girl: "But that's rape!"

The class laughed at her and she sat down looking a bit uncomfortable. I couldn't stop laughing in my mind, though.

My sister is a raging SJW who will log onto my social media accounts and unfollow me from everyone she disagrees with.
I still don't know how she logs in, but its wicked annoying to have to go re-follow everybody everry few days.
She also believes all republicans are evil scum and couldn't get over the fact that I was dating one - apparently "republican lesbians" shouldn't exist.

Then how the fuck do you still have an account here?

Someone I know in person lectured me about how the Rocky Horror Picture Show was transphobic and triggered her because they use the word "transvestite" in it.

The kicker? She hadn't even seen the movie. She said she'd only seen the parts of RHPS shown in the Perks of Being a Wallflower.

It's literally a 'polak' in Danish. Why would Americans turn that into a slur, or rather how?

When you say it like "dumb Polack" it can be.

It's also a "slur" in France calling someone of Polish descent a "polak". Or it was at the time of my great grandparents and grandparents when there was a lot more of racism against polish people. Don't know how it came to be and if it was the same thing in other european countries.

Now "polak" can hardly been seen as a slur really. People of Polish descent are well integrated in the society and there is no more racism against them in the country as far as I can say... The only times I was called a "polak" was jokingly by friends, familly or even by myself sometimes.

It was a very racist word in some countries nonetheless even if now it's not that used and usually never outside of simple teasing... so if you wan't to be falsely triggered by someone using it... why not, go for it. There is enough evidence to let it be considered as "an opression word" used by dominant people of the past against a minority victim of racism and so should never be used ever again to respect the memory of my ancestors who were opressed or wathever

 

[Double Dragon]

Went to a buddy's birthday/ LotR watching party, and we're all having a good time, everyone making dumb jokes and pointing out Frodo's twink ass self. Six hours late to the party shows this chick, and our fun times devolve into a deep ass conversation about racism in Tolkien and imperialism in high fantasy and dumb shit. Others are interacting with her (but obviously trying to get her to chill) while the birthday boy just sits there looking resigned and vaguely miserable.

Most everyone started leaving after that. I still feel sorry for the dude.

When I was in college, I went to a local Mexican joint to grab some tacos and beer. They had a stage there, and I guess they had folk acts in (in the Bod Dylan or Joan Baez protest song vein) and they had this, I guess, bilingual band that sang a song about homophobia and one about immigration. I remember it being really badly written and on the nose, and they had plenty of other cringe in both English and Spanish. If it was a covert effort by the restaurant to get me to down more Dos Equis...it worked.

My favorite folk singer did a live show with Pete Seeger once and they did a song about a plane crash full of deported immigrants. And Seeger read a poem written by a famous Latino poet about the same thing I think. It was a pretty relevant topic even back in the day. Can see how it would be cringey if done wrong

I said the word thot as a joke at work with a coworker I'm friendly with, but he went off about how it's degrading to women and how they should be empowered by sexual exploits. I learned a lot about his sexual history I didn't want to know.

So basically this happened?
