what's up with people hating pineapple on pizza to the point of associating that with disabilities?

"Oregano" is slang popularized back on Reddit, on a community page called r/AntifaStoneToss, focusing on making disruptive edits to comics made by StoneToss, a cartoonist who frequently makes comics with nazi rhetoric.

back when the page was starting out, out of curiosity, people would often make comments asking to explain or show the contents and nature of the original. while i don't know the exact details, i know that what followed is that people would often replace "Original?" with whatever other wording starting with an O that they could think of.

that's an interesting read on the story though. writing in a medium in such a way as to pass one message disguised as the opposite isn't a new concept, one such example being how a ton of popular music here in Brazil bypassed censors during the dictatorship from 1964-'85 to spread messages of resistance against the government.

edit: missed some of the wording. fixed now.

working conditions would still be changed either way once people figure out that not burning out people is more productive for the jobs

i haven't got a diagnosis for ADHD, but for the longest time i've been Kid B. used to fail at copying stuff from the blackboard to my notebook, sometimes having my notebook functionally empty that day, or sometimes not having enough because i didn't write fast enough, and then get beaten up that day upon arriving at home and showing it and then being told by everyone that i don't care enough and that it's all fault of whatever entertainment i have at home (the console i used to play games in, the computer i browsed in, etc.).

got that drilled into my head enough times for me to start believing it myself at some point. delusion only weakening by the time i was living with my father and him not actually caring when i decided to put more effort in people-pleasing by trying to figure out how to write less to make it seem like my notebook has stuff written on it since i never figured out how to write text fast enough like everyone else in my class could.

this never went away though. in my previous job i still got told that multiple times, as well as having that repeated by my mother in the past year because of me not being able to get a job this far.

Do-Not-Track requests is nothing but a header on GET. at best, it's useless, with exceptions from websites that already barely track you. at worst, it's another data point for fingerprinting your browser.

not for long, and expect even more restrictions to its use after Web Environment Integrity.

for future reference, it's even more convenient to use when you know to change GUI scale settings to configure them to align with the physical space

i see milk tasting almost like water like skimmed milk, as well as some juices i used to be able to buy, fillings in sweets like crackers and wafers being almost as thin as paper or outright stopping being sold and replaced by cookies using drops for a filling, yogurt being replaced by "milk drink" (yogurt is thicker and slower to flow down, i can tell the difference, but the label also changes, idk the english term for "bebida láctea"), a lot of sweets and bags reducing from 800g down to 600g, down to 400g while keeping the same price, packaging turning opaque and non-transparent, potato chips and other salt foods being filled 1/5th, down from 1/3rd, even instant noodles going from 150g down to 80g in the past decade.

only things that aren't changed as much is what i know to be the very basic things that people in here uses and cooks every day, that being rice (5kg), beans (5 and 1kg), pasta (500g all variants), sugar and salt (1kg), etc.
mostly depends on the country you are in (i'm in Brazil), but the point is that it doesn't stop at the chocolate bars.
