In Canada my girlfriend was exposed. She called the testing places to tell them, and to book a test. They told her no, and to go away.

When I realized the already small percentage of people that are trying to use this system were being denied, I disabled it. It's actually useless.

Whatever you're putting in the allow list is being allowed.

Usernames, IPs, etc.

Whatever you're putting in the block list is being.. blocked.

English is easy. Fuck off.

How was white and black descriptive?

I remember making a Minecraft server in 2009 and not understanding what whitelist and blacklist meant.

Allow/Block makes sense. White/Black doesn't.

Or we can be happy they changed it to something easier to understand.

If you're angry about a word change, when it makes it easier to understand, you're probably racist.

I'm glad it's easier to understand, and has the added benefit of PoC feeling more inclusive.

You're angry because.. idk? You're racist? There's no other reason to be outraged.

I think calling a block list "black" and an allow list "white" makes no sense.

Allow/block makes sense. White/black makes no sense. Words have meaning, let's use them properly.

If you're upset about changing the words to better explain what they do, you're racist. There's literally no reason to oppose a word change when it makes it easier to understand.

She's 4/10 to me. Even before I recognized who she was.

People have different tastes.

You mean Apple changed it to a water gun and everyone followed suite as to not have an issue?

Thanks, America, and your mass shootings.

Antisocial people.

It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

I think you misspelled enraged.

There's no engaged discussion on here. If you have any opinion about paying for services, using Windows, or driving a car, you'll be downvoted and attacked lmao.
