    But they don’t literally want to suck dick do they? The whole “they want to gargle hitlers ball” is just a euphemism for them allegedly wanting to be able to submit and get owned completely by someone higher up. I’m not judging nazis for wanting to suck dick, I’m judging liberals for using dicksucking as a euphemism for deplorable, sycophantic behavior.


  • Characterising gay men who like to suck dick as “submissive” is harmful. And therefore homophobic. Fellating someone is not being submissive, getting fellated is not dominating. It can be, in a dom/sub context, but it is not in itself an act with a dom/sub dynamic and characterizing it as such leads to people seeing gay people as more submissive, effeminate, and, in a patriarchal society, therefore as lesser. This whole “the person getting penetrated is the submissive part” as if they’re “letting it happen” or are doing it for the benefit of the other party needs to die out. It’s sexist and homophobic. I don’t need to dominate my partner when having sex with her, nor do I need to submit or be passive or whatever when fellating her.





  • Calling someone a

    slur

    cocks*cker

    is widely accepted as a homophobic slur, and imo is rather obviously the root of the idea that a person sucking cock is “allowing themself to be used by a dominant figure” as you so neatly put it. The whole idea that the person getting their cock sucked is dominating the person sucking their cock is homophobic. It treats the person sucking cock as lesser. It’s how you got the societal taboo of giving a woman oral sex, which admittedly is almost unheard of nowadays, but it used to be that going down on a woman was seeing as feminizing (since you’re getting dominated by a woman) and therefore gay.

    Asskissing has a completely different origin going back to a poem by Götz von Berlichingen. It comes from a completely different context even though they both are used as largely replaceable idioms.

    I should come up with a copy-pasteable answer at some point.









  • I think talking with your boss would be the best thing if talking with Noisy Guy directly is not something you think is feasible. That would be the first step to escalation, talking to someone elses boss or human resources directly is typically frowned upon I believe since corporations have a very hierarchical structure and stepping outside of that is very uncommon. If enough people talk to your boss about it they might be able to escalate it further, if it’s a demonstrably sufficiently large problem (i.e. it affects ROI somehow) then it might get escalated up to someone who is directly above Noisy Guy and can do something about it.

    HR isn’t really for interpersonal problems, it is the branch of the corporation that deals with the legalese of having people in employ. I. e. Hiring/firing, wage payment and issues, vacation days etc. anything that (potentially) touches upon legal issues. If you have anything protected under law then that’s HR’s job. But even then, “troublemakers”, for example people filing complaints about illegal sexual harassment, should be aware that the company’s interest is to it’s profit line first and will only do as much as it can be prosecuted for. If they have to fire the harasser they will, but that’s a loss on their part and if they believe that this could be recurring problem with the victim they’d rather terminate the victims employment to mitigate their loss. HR’s primary concern is shielding the corporation from legal harm and they care about your work environment only in as much as it affects your output. So if employing you is more trouble than it’s worth, you’re gone.

    Exceptions, variations apply of course and are typically tied to the corporations size.

    My approach, depending on your boss, talk to them about how it’s affecting you personally if they’re amiable to you. If they like you they might relate and want to solve it because people like helping each other, but give them something about how it hurts collective performance so they can argue why this problem needs a solution to their higher ups. Know your and your colleagues works worth. If what you produce is absolutely vital to the companies success then wham bam they should be out of there. If you are easily replaced, you need to be a bit more diplomatic. As always there is more power in collective bargaining than individual.


  • Bir örnek, mesela bu mesajın türkçe çevirisini, yazabilir misin?

    I don’t think it’s as easy to see, but grammar wise it’s really simple. No articles (not even a “the”), there is no concept of “definite” and “indefinite” grammar wise. Things either are defined (my house, that house) or not (any house, one house, two houses) or it doesn’t matter (I’m going to house) grammar wise, no difference.

    And really anything is made with suffixes, the only thing that I would consider problematic is remembering the correct order of suffixes. For example above:

    çevir-i-si-ni

    çevir(-mek): to turn around, exchange, translate
    çevir-i: the thing that got turned around, exchanged, translated
    çeviri-(s)i: the messages’s (turkish) translation, a genitive construct where message has the genitive ending (-in) and the corresponding possessive suffix (-(s)i) binds them together.
    çevirisi-(n)i: accusative case, relating it to “writing”, i. e. write the messages turkish translation.

    There are quite a few rules governing vowels and consonants in suffixes but they are highly regular. There are very few exceptions that need to be learned seperately. (and even a lot those can be turned into rules, though I suppose at some point the difference hardly matters)
