Is breakdancing a thing? I thought it was so 40 years ago?

Geez, why so dour, cupcake. Lighten up, only a couple more months. The country has been through worse. The problem with the comment section is everyone trying to out anti-Trump everyone else. Relax, spark up a fatty, maybe go out and knock down a statue or two. Enjoy yourself. There’s humor in even the worst…

We can cry or we can laugh. Right now I’d prefer to laugh a bit. We will see what happens.

Remember, it’s only a coup if it’s from the coup d’etat region of France. Otherwise it’s merely a “sparkling authoritarian takeover.”

Who is cussing like that on company emails? They need more than a filter, they need to learn how to be professional. 

as a cracker, cracker isn’t offensive. anyone attempting to use it offensively has the right to do so. - personal opinion, but i mean it’s both not that bad and an actual thing. plus it’s not like white dudes don’t deserve a little derision.

This may be an unpopular take but some family members of famous dead authors need to get real jobs. Toklien, Herbert etc. Their sons are milking off fathers names and producing not nearly as good writing. Sounds Like Doyal’s family is doing the same.

Seems like a great example of why we shouldn’t have a uniform copyright law. Any global copyright law would in practice mean everyone else having to obey American - i.e. Disneyan - copyright laws, and everything will be locked up in copyright until the sun explodes.

Honestly Sherlock Holmes is a great case study for a need for a global copyright law/treaty that we all agree on. Holmes has been in public domain since 2000 in the UK and most the rest of the world, but the US copy right laws allow for much more time mostly because Disney throws piles of money at law makers every time…

I’d like to see the estate counter-sued, bankrupted, and lose every last drop of Holmes to the public domain.

It’s very clearly a bullshit attempt to get some free money on spurious legal grounds, but it’s also a bullshit reading of the stories. Holmes wasn’t a robot in the earlier books. Though there is something darkly amusing about the Doyle estate basically shouting “Our cash-cow was basically a one-dimensional cardboard…

Also. Also also. Wear the damn mask. This isn’t an accommodations issue, it’s a public health issue. If you can’t for some reason wear a mask, then stay out of the damn store. COVID doesn’t give a shit.

Terms can develop new meanings, lose old ones, or change in a million other ways. Just that fact that you have to inform people of the old meaning shows that the older meaning is no longer relevant to most people in day to day conversation. There was an older meaning (probably more than one), then your meaning, now…

We went through all of this supposed “PC” stuff in the 80s and early 90s and a lot of people thought “Hey, what’s the problem?” There were definitely some problems, and I can appreciate things like saying “Native American” instead of “Indian” — I don’t care if many indigenous people use “Indian,” I’m kind of a…

I guess? I mean, the words Master and Slave arent racist *at all*. And doesnt implying the word “slave” is racist diminish the use of classist, same race slavery?

Like, this doesnt effect me... but it shouldnt effect anyone. We have *real fights* and *real change* to make. We have a government to topple. If youre so…

this seems unnecessary to me. as far as tech goes, those terms very succinctly describe how things relate to each other, and aside from that, the concepts of “master/slave” transcend race. anyone can be a slave, or control others as a master.

I get master/slave. It isn’t really necessary at all, and more descriptive terms are actually better in most cases.

Its funny how white people who have likely never lived in violent areas seem to know what is best for everyone. Whats going to happen when a rival gang opens fire on another? Or when someone shoots up a school? Who is going to respond to the immediate threat? Community organizers? How will that even work?

I agree that…

When I call 911 because my neighbour is beating his wife again, I’m really looking forward to seeing how the social worker that shows up deals with a gun being pointed in their face.

This article has to be one of the most nonsensical and frankly moronic works from this site.
