While I have you here, I recently had a project where they shipped me three separate FedEx packages of loose SD cards that were unlabeled, all .mts files. What on gods earth happened on that shoot?
Oh and the footage was all interlaced I shit you not.
"Attempt"? These are real world examples. If none of these could possibly be seen as offensive to you, if you truly can't understand why someone might be justifiably upset, then frankly you're just a sociopath.
Appreciate the kind words! I feel like it’s one of those things where people are so caught up in the politics they are not thinking about the nuts and bolts or using their imagination.
Should I make rape jokes around a survivor? Should I set off fireworks or pop balloons around a soldier with PTSD? How about make 9/11 jokes at a firefighter who lost friends that day and barely survived? Nobody would hesitate to tell me to stop and that it’s not funny. I t be socially tarred and feathered. But I guarantee you there people out there who think those things are hilarious! So who decides?
It boils down to mutual respect. Simple as that. If somebody asks you to stop, just stop. You are not entitled to an explanation and they do not have to convince you in order for you to show them that you respect them and their dignity as a person. That’s ridiculous.
Republicans ended slavery while democrats fought to preserve it in the south. While technically true I imagine you can drop your partisan blinders to acknowledge that 1) this is so simplistic to the point of turning an accurate statement inaccurate, 2) it ignores party realignment, and 3) instances like good ol boy Strom switching to the republicans during integration because he hated black people so much, which immediately complicates the implied narrative.
All of this is to say that you, me, and everybody reading this conversation know that “liberal” does not mean what you are saying. It is just an annoying thing conservatives say to get under the skin of liberals. It is not productive, highly reductionist, and in bad faith.
