    Default More woke BS...*sigh*

    (WFRV) ? In an attempt to stop using a name deemed derogatory, the ?gypsy moth? is no more and officials have determined a new name for the insect.The Entomological Society of America (ESA) announced that the new name, ?spongy moth,? has been selected for the species Lymantria dispar. It was voted unanimously to approve the addition of spongy moth to ESA?s common names of insects and related organisms list.
    This completes a process that reportedly started back in July 2021. ?Gypsy moth? was removed from the list at the time because of its use of the derogatory term for the Romani people, the ESA explains.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Won't be able to talk about or describe anything without somebody getting their feels hurt.

    ...but that's what the lefties want. Just shut it all down. No dialog. No discussion. No dissent. Just acceptance and adherence.

    As a Dominant Left Hand American (DLHA), I take great offence at you lumping me in with people of those politics.

    I think you need a three hundred day ban from this and all internet sites, and mandatory classes addressing your overt hatred of everything.

    Have you considered a lawsuit against the Left Hand Brewing Company?

    Or maybe I should file a suit for them excluding a righty such as myself?

    I’m surprised someone gives a rip about the gypsies suddenly. Weird.

    Oh FFS



    I am so over this section of society that walks around just looking for shit to be offended by.

    Just so they can be genuinely offended:

    Go fuck yourselves you fuck fuck fucking fucks….
