I totally agree with your statement. But, the thing is that I often don't have time to do the things I like unless it's my job. Certainly don't have time to become good at it. I'm now trying to do the jobs I like and switch once it starts to become a grind. It's usually about 5 or 6 years before it turns sour.

I get it. I also get annoyed by the weight those words get assigned. Same with ourselves words on television or, God forbid, "nigger".... I'm probably sounding like a racist right now to soemone, just for that word.but it shouldn't be like that. They're just words.

I am not raised in that culture of "fear for words" and I cannot understand it,but I have learned to stay far away from it,because the people who do have an opinion on those words are very loud and very clear.

I have also learned that words do not mean the same to different people. Even words without that "weight". For instance a mental image of an "island". I think of a tropic island with a single palm tree. You might think of a rocky island. Someone else might think of Shetland. It depends a lot on you context, for instance if you grew up watching The Loveboat or Game Of Thrones.Or maybe you actually grew up on an island. That doesn't just happen for "island", but pretty much every word. Fortunately we have a very extensive common context in which we can find common ground to communicate meaning.

You can also see this in language. For instance how people speak regional dialects or how the Eskimo languages have so many words for snow or how calligraphy has influenced Japanese writing or Silbo Gomero

But that's art. That's not what this threat is about

Original Czech word "robota" refers to forced labor done by serfs. Not slaves per se. Here's a short read about the original play that introduced the term as we know it.

That might be the problem

Cybertruck, cybertruck, does whatever a cybertruck does. Can he swing from a web, no he can't 'cause he's a truck. Lookout... here comes cybertruck!

Yes, but I hate some nazis more equally. Especially the once who effectively push their political agenda.
