Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•18h
'Goodbye' is an alteration of "God be with you."

Sean Kress• @SKress7514 • 16h
Do you have evidence to back this up? If so can you explain what "good night" , "good
morning" and "good evening" are alterations of?

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•15h
what

Sean Kress & @SKress7514 • 14h
I was genuinely asking the question because the only thing I find on the internet is that it is basically a slur from the original.... I assumed there was a better explanation for it than that as it seems a little unlikely given the good night, good morning etc haven't been slurred into something else too. Sorry if you saw that as offensive.

Merriam-Webster @ @Merriam...•14h S
It is not related to 'good night/ day/morning.'
The 'good' in those do not come from 'God.'

Sean Kress @ @SKress7514 • 14h
So the internet suggestion this it is just a slur is what you are basing that on too then?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Merriam-Webster's etymology follows established linguistic scholarship, not unverified internet suggestions of a "slur."
"Goodbye" is an alteration of "God be with you"; "good" in greetings like "good morning" has separate origins unrelated to "God."

So they’re banning porn featuring cheerleader outfits and school uniforms? Is a plushie enough to trigger this? This is not a slippery slope, this is just an intentional pipeline to criminalize consenting adults while protecting actual child predators.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

The UK is working to completely purge trans people from society. They are banning trans people from hospitals, banning their healthcare, banning them from bathrooms, protecting people that will harass them, and making it impossible to exist. This is all happening under Labour.

the end goal isnt to get rid of ”dangerous porn” (whatever such a concept in fictional settings could even fucking mean) the goal is to arrest YOU for being different, queer, or for simply being in the way of fascism and the status quo. Its not just incest, itll be all furries in total soon enough

Attn: CA Voters! (And no matter what the billionaires say, it's completely fair to ask them to PAY THEIR SHARE.)

California voters pay close attention...

There's a trap on your ballot. Here's how to get past it.

1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay what they owe so hospitals, schools and food assistance survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.

2. Props 41 and 42: Paid for by the billionaires to cancel 40. Vote no.

3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.

Yes on 40. No on 41 and 42.

We were promised REPEATEDLY that age-verification law was narrow, and would ONLY apply to porn. But— as we warned —it was always a ruse. Since conservatives got their ruling in FSC v Paxton, they’ve pushed to age-gate anything and everything. It’s not going to stop with social media or chatbots.

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House
