fuck coders

[actioninja]

yes, I too, am also extremely impressed that said coder used his amazing coder powers on /tg/ to do this righteously amazing act of changing a well known national holiday into something only the most rabid of insane leftists want.

truly brave, and with much stunning.

while this act has enlightened me to the horrors of columbus, i'd still like to know what other amazing contributions this light-of-the-left (dont say snowflake dont say snowflake) snowflake has done for this server

it's a simple question

They've helped with refactor work (https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/55207) as well as helped with a lot of fixes and investigations while not being the actual one to actually write the code.
It's telling that you immediately assume such a minor change to be from "the most rabid of insane leftists." This may be difficult for you to comprehend, but some people do things because they believe them to be the right thing to do instead of as a performative act.

This may be difficult for you to comprehend, but some people do things because they believe it to be the right thing to do and not as any kind of performative display.

i pity someone who thinks that changing the name of a holiday in this game is important enough to do for its own merit

[wesoda25]

Where were you guys during the gender neutral pr??

This one isn’t bad at all. Our codebase makes a point to not be biased towards any one country at all, you can see this by the refusal to formally accept british or American wording, and insta closing any prs that try and change what is established for any one word. Thats not a “woke” stance, and neither is this. In any case he’s the one who added colombus day in the first day so who cares

[Timonk]

He woke up and changed his unforgivable mistake of naming Columbus day Columbus day

[BONERMASTER]

Race is not important, but some races are more important than the others. Columbus is a racist, that's a widely known fact, and it puts in question, is an America that was discovered by a racist still legitimate? I don't think so. I think it would be fair to disband America and give all of it's assets, industry and military to declared NON-racist BONERMASTER for fair distribution, world peace and the end of racism, thank you.

I'm sure they woke up in a feverish sweat, immediately ran to their computer, and then literally came their pants as they deleted the name "columbus" from the name of it.
Or they were already messing with holiday stuff, noticed it, and changed it. Because it takes literally the same amount of effort if you're already there as replacing a word would in this post.
You've already spent more thought and time typing here than it even took them to change it no doubt.

Who cares, Columbus day shouldn't have been added in the first place because it's just a minor american holiday.

If a PR adding Waitangi Day and Anzac Day is created, will it be merged?

virtue signaling

This may be difficult for you to comprehend, but some people do things because they believe it to be the right thing to do and not as any kind of performative display.

I believe that the right thing to do was to transform the country I was born in from a slave empire where human sacrifice was not only acceptable but mandatory into the subservient of a slave empire that at least acknowledged that human sacrifice was not a cool thing to do. Small steps, and thus should be held positively in that light. Cristoforo Colombo took the first step into that new world, literally and metaphorically, even though he was scientifically retarded and thought he'd find Indonesia even though all the contemporary astrologers told him he was retarded for doing so. Small steps.

[Kendrickorium]

I just can't for the life of me remember the last time I gathered around the table with everyone to eat and give thanks to racism and colonization instead of the blessings of family and all the amazing things we have in our world and lives

thank god for this coder and ninja, for opening my eyes by doing this amazing thing not for virtue signaling or internet points, but because changing a holiday and the history of giving thanks for what one has, and generally attempting to delete american history is THE RIGHT THING TO DO. for the love of god go watch a charlie brown thanksgiving and record your reactions to it so that /tg/ and half the internet can be entertained for a solid day and a half. also you are both probably retarded and insane.

daddy oranges does know best though, so I imagine he keeps you around for a reason

[Super Aggro Crag]

im offended cuz injuns scalped my great granny

remove the holiday bigot

I mean yeah if Pol Pot himself called for it what do you think will happen

Spoiler:

[Yenwodyah]

does this guy really think that thanksgiving and columbus day are the same thing

the part about them being retarded and insane stands though

I hate to like swoop in and cuck you but I did it. I'm not sure if the snarky PR body will survive oranges' wrath though.

[Jaredfogle]

the guy who made the indigenous peoples day pr made unit tests which is more than nearly every feature coder has every done

[Kendrickorium]

what are unit tests?

[terranaut]

they test specific components or units of software on their own (as opposed to integration tests which test them as a group)
