    bro what the frick… the state of the world is much different than what we were experiencing in 2015… like dude… google changes everything based on executive orders but what if those executive orders were from n4zi germany? i’m not saying mr trump is a n4zi but, i think that sometiems you have to stand up to morals and good reasoning!! and ok, as a mexican (nationality), i’m ok with the name change but… just please be careful google, no disrespect or offense to anyone on the political map!!

    edit: some words!!

        my mom and dad did not raise a person that swears and one time when i was little i swore but my dad said he would ground me, and that’s why i don’t like swearing, also because it harms people and makes them feel sad!!

          Good on you and props to your parents :)

          I just wanted to chime in that “nazi” isn’t technically a swear.

          Sure, calling someone one when they aren’t (some willingly people wear the name with pride) can be hurtful, but in the context you’ve used it I’d say it’s OK.

          Just my opinion though

          I agree with that sentiment but how does replacing a particular swear word with “frick” somehow make it better?

          Unless you’re specifically directing it toward someone who’s sensitive to it, swearing generally doesn’t harm anyone or make them sad. Whether it’s a good, or bad thing, that swearing has been normalised, the fact is that it has been, at least on the internet.

      This is precisely what the “much privacy, muh data” crowd was warning us us against. I try to avoid saying I’m queer online, because there’s a very real chance my government turns fascist and asks google/facebook/whatever for a list, and they haven’t given me a reason to think they wouldn’t give that list without thinking about it twice.
