[01:34] <JackFrost> FWIW, someone thought 'Drone' was offensive too at one point.  I don't buy that "just because someone does" bit myself.
[02:31] <el> im actually more sympathetic to complaints about drone than ass for complicated reasons
[02:31] <el> but, still not enough to actually act on it
[02:32] <JackFrost> !info thefuck
[02:32] <JackFrost> el: Sure, fair enough.
[02:33] <sarnold> you just can't stand bagpipes, eh?
[02:34] <Eickmeyer> That's called a chanter.
[02:34] <JackFrost> I've listened to metal bagpipes, mate.
[02:34] <JackFrost> I've even held bagpipes!
[02:35] <Eickmeyer> That's so metal.
[02:35] <JackFrost> For those wondering though, less 2 and more 3 https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/drone
[02:37] <el> (complicated reasons being that in its current use as an enforcer of authority it could be alienating to a decent subset of underprivileged populations who have trauma based on conflict zones, and also those with paranoid conditions)
[02:38] <JackFrost> Yep, sure.
[02:39] <el> which i think is a more compelling thing than "backsides, sex and poop are nono thoughts"
[02:39] <JackFrost> I wouldn't mind using the altnick more, even.
[02:39] <el> trq?
[02:40] <JackFrost> Yeah, just didn't think it was so popular amonst others.
[02:40] <el> it's not as descriptive. i personally like that drone is descriptive enough even if i understand criticisms of it
[02:41] <sarnold> el: ah, yeah, that makes sense
[03:19] <Eickmeyer> The nick, honestly, could be read as "DonkeyTractionHero". 🙄
[03:20] <sarnold> donkeys are legendary for their traction
[03:20] <Eickmeyer> Indeed.
[03:20] <Eickmeyer> Could pull a house off its foundation.
