That's the real thing. Real sci-fi.

Everyone's afraid of offending someone somewhere. The good stories and jokes are locked in a vault.
And this is how I got into trouble with my son and his "woke" wife. I talked about how I got to see a tribal dance put on by one of the Indian tribes and how great it was. The offense was calling them "Indian" and that his wife is some small percentage whatever she calls that. It didn't matter that the Cherokee Nation had a website (now gone) called indiannation.com or somesuch. It didn't matter that before I met his mother I dated a full-blooded Indian for three years (forgot which tribe).
I bought a five-year-old (December 1998) Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 (SQ625, E33) in 2004. I drove it until 2025 without any problems. Now I've given it to a relative who lives in the countryside and is quite happy with it. Not a single major breakdown (I've replaced the radiator, front suspension arms, the timing chain (once), and the low-pressure hose of the air conditioning system (twice) -- in 27 years, that's all!).
Maybe changed their URL to cherokee.org?
Yes it's become ridiculous here too. Maybe not as bad as that but there's all kinds of nonsense you're not supposed to say. I've noticed it's younger people who are the most uptight about it, which is strange, when I was young it was the other way around! Although perhaps that phase is past it's peak now (hopefully), although I'm not 100% convinced.
Yes some of them are very good. Not everything they make is great though... another friend had the mazda rotary engine sports car...the RX8, the more recent one. It had problems with oil leaks but the main problem was rust, he got a lot of rust in it. But most japanese stuff is good. I still have my casio F-91W watch and calculator
. The western firms have caught up, to some extent at least. Someone else I know has a european ford focus, diesel engine, I'm not sure where it was made, perhaps germany... its 18 years old now, almost no rust, and about the only thing he's had gone on it was the battery. Although I had a little GM runabout years ago (GM is called 'Vauxhall' in the UK) that had endless small problems, usually sensors that had to be changed, and the cat convertor and silencer back-box failed regularly.Ah, that reminds me... yes, I had to replace one of the front lower arms on the mazda a couple of years ago, the ball joint had gone, I forgot that. It's hardly surprising with the poor state of british roads, especially many of the small country roads that I drive around, much of the road system is in a terrible state here. It never used to be like that, I don't know what has happened to make it get so bad, I guess they just don't repair them like they used to. I've lost count of the number of times I've hit pot-holes... of course you always try to avoid them but can't help hitting them sometimes. Car suspensions take a hammering here.
It is indeed up to them, as sad as it is.
People have the right to feel insulted. And because it's a choice to feel insulted you shouldn't bother other people with it.
Thanks for mentioning, this is strange indeed.
I respectfully disagree. Your freedom is usually far less infringed than those offended. All the jokes about, say, women? They're the things that allow people in power to justify not promoting them. You mention the Nazis. I wonder if Jewish jokes were considered Ok, slightly before they came into power, and if Jews were offended, being told to get over it, they were being too sensitive. I don't know your location, but here in the US, with people in power saying Ohh, woke people are too sensitive, it is becoming an issue where people who are not white, male, and straight have to worry.
To be honest, I'm really surprised 16GB isn't enough to compile some code. What is it that you're building?!
