See, the thing with "puta/puto" is that it literally means "whore", but it's used to empathize cursings just like "fucking" is used in english. We're even misusing it by putting it before verbs, imitating it's use in english.

I think the Polish word 'kurwa' is coincidentally similar.

So it means "Pretend you have to go use the toilet and leave us"? I like it!

That should set off any fight or flight, that's just a cluster of red flags (and not in a socialist way!) of condescending egotism, combined with the vibe of that gossipy immature schoolkid stereotype:

it's not like it's a problem anyway

Yeah, although it's interesting to realise that so much of 'reddit culture' was just looted from other cultures and then driven into the ground by a mass of culture-consumers who think they're in-jokes. Even small things like "this" are lifted out of a context where they made some sense (on sites that don't have voting or reaction emotes, where you have to reply to show agreement), then misappropriated and repeated on loop, taking up a dumb amount of space and effort to say nothing.

As /u/abc said (just now), it's an old IRC reference that was a meme before reddit even existed. Did reddit discover it and run it into the ground or something? My condolences...

You reminded me of some vandalism issues with map services (OpenStreetMap, Google Maps), including a case where someone who tried to sanitise swear words and rename a bunch of traditional places like ''Cock Lane".

what reference?

So the scare mongering about China’s telecommunications hacking American technology is just projections, as always.

Well, hypocritical yes but I wouldn't say empty projection. NATO countries, Russia, PRC, DPRK, Iran and everyone in-between are engaged in cyber-warfare. It would be ridiculous if any of them weren't, in fact. And this includes supply chain attacks.

I honestly don't know to what degree Huawei and TikTok etc. are or aren't utilized, could be nationalist fear-mongering over nothing or could be rightful fear over active collection. As far as politicians and news articles go, that's absolutely fear mongering, but if you look at things like PRISM and hardware bugging from those same NSA disclosures, and realize how much of a supply-chain risk China (and Taiwan) are for almost any computer electronics, I can't even blame them for worrying about the technology being utilized by Chinese hackers.

This was one of the problems that the FBI and CIA had during the Cold War: they dismissed any suspicions of moles, because our white American good boys would never betray us. Therefore it must be the minorities in the office

As we all know, capitalism raises people to be ethical good boys who won't betray their country.
