BasedCon will run for its third year this September, at a hotel in Michigan. The event's exact location is not public for security reasons, its website states.

Exactly. If that doesn't set off alarm bells that what you're about to do is wrong, nothing will.

Yeah, like those darned underground railroad organizers, why couldn't they have realized what they were doing was wrong???

Get your logic straight, this says way more about those that oppose this event than the event itself.

Did you just compare guys doing the whole "why can't we say racist things without being accused of being racist" with the people literally risking their lives to free slaves?

That made sense to you?

Looks like we're still making stuff up in order to completely miss the point.

What did I make up? The purpose of the convention, or what the underground railroad did?

One is at worst a minor exaggeration.

You know exactly what you made up. There is nothing supporting racism on their website, yet here you are, making up strawmen because you can't understand that them protecting themselves from violent people doesn't magically make them bad people

OMFG, I remember watching that skit live like a million years ago. Good that you posted it here. Lots of people need to lighten the fuck up.

Ditto. That old skit is still funny today like back then.

I'm thinking that said "Have a good evening" ?
I don't know what language though. It's been a long time since I took Latin

I've been trying to learn the Ukrainian alphabet. It's only now that I realize that there are 33 letters, with 10 vowels, and a lot of them have no English equivalent. AND Ukrainian can be typed using their English equivalents mostly but also have an even more complicated Cyrillic way of writing that I need to download a special Slavic keyboard format for. Ummm, is it too late to admit I'm too dumb to do this? 😁

On the plus side learning Ukrainian makes it very easy to communicate in Russian as well, so as soon as this heinous invasion ends I can visit Russia like I've always wanted to.

Just make sure your meds are legal in Russia. Don't want to end up like Brittney Griner.

In English, it says "And a good evening to you". But it's not Latin, it's Irish Gaelic. Latin would be "Et bonum vesperum ad vos".

Huh. I wonder how I knew 'trathnona' referred to 'evening'. That's the only word I recognized. At least knowing Gaelic doesn't get you labeled as a Nazi. It just means you like potatoes and whiskey I think 😁

I don't think you're too dumb. Learning a language that does not have at least some roots in Latin is generally difficult since you have no common framework to hook on to for internal transliteration. The heavy hand of my grandfather upside the back of my head helped me learn Irish Gaelic more than anything else.

Why does this remind me of wanna-be influencers twerking in front of the gates of Auschwitz?

Depending upon who you talk to, you're either a hero or a Nazi.

Or, and one that can speak some Ukrainian! Haha.
