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.I'm not sure there is any real sci-fi today. That was a time when people dared to dream. Not so much now.
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).Like i tell my Indian Friend. Maybe Fire-Water.
I only heard that on Family Guy (around 17s):I remember my wife, (full Japanese) being offended at a little ditty my nieces, who were probably around 8 and 10, chanted, something about Japanese, Chinese, dirty knees, or something else silly
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!).Must have been interesting going around the factory. A guy I worked with had a corvette, he used to drive it into work each day, it looked like a fun motor! Similar stories here, british cars in the 70s were legendary for their poor build quality. It was the Japanese that taught the western auto companies about quality control. I have a little mazda that is my daily driver, its 11 years old now and it has not developed a single significant fault in that time, the only things that have needed changing are brake pads, it's still on the original factory fit silencer. It had a leak in the aircon radiator due to a stone puncture, I think that's the only thing I can point to... and that's most likely due to the poor state of the roads here, they are full of potholes.
Maybe changed their URL to cherokee.org?the Cherokee Nation had a website (now gone) called indiannation.com or somesuch
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.Everyone's afraid of offending someone somewhere. The good stories and jokes are locked in a vault.
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.

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.

It is indeed up to them, as sad as it is.How you judge your daughter in law is up to you of course, but, in my arrogant opinion, if it bothered her, I feel it should be up to her.
People have the right to feel insulted. And because it's a choice to feel insulted you shouldn't bother other people with it.She examines every word out of people's mouths just looking for things to be offended by
Thanks for mentioning, this is strange indeed.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 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.I for my part do not take away the freedom of anybody who utterly wants to feel offended - but the other way round, those who enjoy to feel offended, they want to take away my freedom, they want to have me under their thumb, they want to put themselves over me and teach me their twisted morals like the roman church did before - so I reserve the freedom to not care.
To be honest, I'm really surprised 16GB isn't enough to compile some code. What is it that you're building?!Like they say, use the right tool for the right job.
Me compiling everything in 16GB of memory. No,no,no.
