Bevin and all the other Republicans blaming this on video games are fully aware that their argument is total bullshit. They don’t actually believe that video games cause mass shootings. Not for one second. These guys aren’t stupid. They know that most of the world consumes violent media just like America does without…

It takes some pretty twisted logic to conclude that the cause of mass shootings is virtual guns, rather than actual guns.

It does, which is the origin of the slur. It referred to the unconquered part of Ireland outside the Dublin Pale that marked the end of English colonial control. Beyond that was where the uncivilized Irish lived. English people at the time started using the expression “Beyond the pale” as an insult to describe people…

“Beyond the Pale” is another one that few people realize. Originated in the 17th century as a slur against the native Irish during the English conquest.

I sometimes refer to my cat as uppity. Never people though.

“Your music is too shitty and generic to be copyrighted. Get out of my courtroom and try writing something good next time.”

This band has always been Billy Corgan + a studio/touring band anyway, so who really gives a shit?

“Obama gave a lot of very widely attended speeches and he got significantly less airtime.”

What’s with all the MRA trolls out in force today? Did someone on r/redpill see this article and sound the assembly horn?

I don’t think you know what the work “gossip” means.

“The presumption of innocent until proven guilty in court truly means nothing to the media these days”

White played guitar in a shitty synth rock band called “Bad Things” with some of his childhood friends. Lena Zawaideh (the woman who sued him) was the drummer. They didn’t release anything of note.

Because getting people to tell the truth sometimes involves catching them off guard. If we only let people accused of wrongdoing discuss the issue on their terms, we wouldn’t learn shit.

Seriously. How much internet hand-holding do these people need?

The link said “graphic and demeaning text messages”, in the middle of an article about a sexual harassment lawsuit, on a website notorious for its vulgarity and lack of censorship (and dick jokes).

PROTIP: If you’re reading an article about a sexual harassment lawsuit and you come across a link regarding “graphic text mesaages”, use your head.

I can’t decide which is more douchey: the sexual harassment, or the fact that Shaun White takes his shitty side band so seriously that he actually thinks anyone cares what his drummer’s hair looks like.

The level of obsessive control in those comments is what really jumps out at me. Classic abusive manipulation: steer your target into doing what you want by making them feel like a terrible person if they do anything else.

I love the bizarre combination of sexual harassment and self-loathing White is displaying here: “I’m not confident enough with the size of my own dick to send you a pic of it. But I still want to make you feel uncomfortable, so I’m going to bombard you with a bunch of OTHER men’s dick pics. Just to remind you that as…
