#112Reminds me of the time I first used the internet.
People were always telling me to use Google if I needed some information.
But I didn't speak English very well and always assumed it was goggle. Took me months to find the mistake.
I just assumed I'm too dumb for the internet and used Lycos or something.

#113Earlier quoted context omitted.
They said "nsfw", not "not safe for me" or "this is porn". They're making a comment about workplace conditions, not their own viewpoints. You aren't badass for "being cool" with this imagery.
the image is boring and dumb. but a place where this is considered not safe is not a place where would want to work.
Good for you, but your values are not universal and not everyone has the same opportunity to choose their workplace as easily as you apparently do.

No it's not nsfw? Now I'm really confused, can I very paste this into slack #random or not?
Generally, it's considered best practice to not post "vaguely penis" content to official work communications channels.
Advice of the day!
Kant or Heidegger probably wrote something similar.

#115What's weird to me is that this seems like a totally implausible accidental misspelling, which just shows how differently people type, I guess. I can see that 'i' and 'u' are adjacent on the keyboard, but if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers, and I can't see how I'd transpose them while getting all the other letters right. If my right hand were shifted over by a key, I might get 'gutguv' or 'gotjim', I…
I used almost never to make any sort of error whatsoever when typing, that I didn't immediately catch and fix.
IDK if it's age-related decline (I'm not even quite 40 yet...) or what but now I make all those homophone and bizarre-letter-substitution errors that I never, ever used to, constantly. I have to re-read everything I type or I'll have a stupid error like that every few hundred words.

#116Earlier quoted context omitted.
Women aren't the arbiter of what is sfw or nsfw. I'm curious why you jumped to "women" here, when they aren't relevant to the conversation. Do you think women need to be protected from unsafe imagery at work, or "nsfw" is designed to protect women?
Pretty sure that your interpretation of their intent behind bringing up "women" says more about you then it does about them.... An alternative interpretation would be "many women find phallic humor to be funny". As the HN comment guidelines suggest: > Assume good faith. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
GP isn’t necessarily assuming bad faith. Suggesting that women are any more or less likely to be offended by something is Considered Harmful because it enforces gender binaries and stereotypes.
Most people don’t have malicious intent. The biggest reason that the tech industry is so infamously misogynistic is because people don’t actually know much about the issues of gender, and don’t really know what is misogyny.
Let me make this a little clearer and more to the point: suggesting that a company of 80% women would appreciate a mild dick joke in the context of whether or not the joke is safe for work is enforcing a gender binary that both separates women from men (by suggesting that there’s different senses of humor between them) and erases non-binary people. If you can think about it this way I’m pretty sure you can see why it’s also misogynistic even if you’re being “positive” towards women, as well as problematic in general, without GP needing any malicious intent whatsoever. And it could be avoided just as easily by being educated and aware.
This isn’t some sort of “snowflake” shit, either. We just live in a society that perpetuates these harmful gender stereotypes even during water cooler chit-chat, and the only way to change it is to point it out.
Please also assume good faith.
Edit: I don’t like the tone that I wrote this comment in, and so I want to make myself clear that I’m not trying to attack anybody either. My point is really that comments can be harmful without being written with malicious intent, and pointing it out when possible is important if anybody wants to see that aspect of society change.
Re: Guthib
#117This reminds me of https://gail.com/ which, according to the owner get an average 16k hit per day from people mistyping gmail.com
Wow, that's interesting. I would have thought it would be fun to own a popular mis-typed domain, but apparently not. >> As for why there is very little content here, we wanted to keep the server's attack surface as small as possible to keep it safe.
Gail is being very nice; according to that she could have 1.2 million misaddressed emails per week if she was not nice (which could potentially open her to legal liability, but still).

#118Re: Guthib
#119I don't understand why people upvote this garbage. Do they find it funny? Or interesting?
certainly funny, too shallow to be interesting
Good domain, terrible execution.
A copy of the GH home page but every image replaced with Strong Sad... now that's got potential. Or any number of other better uses of the domain name.
