I hated it. I still feel like Arya is a little kid. I was like “huh? Uh-uh. No, she’s too young. Wait... they wouldn’t. Oh nonono. WTF, IS THAT A TIT?? HOW IS THIS LEGAL??”

If you can’t counter my point without resorting to such a pathetic logical fallacy, I’m gonna assume you’ve hit a wall. Good. Maybe sit there and learn something. 

Yes, which makes it a real shame that that’s exactly what Israel and the Israel lobby are doing, quite openly, by conflating political opposition with anti-semitism.

Exactly. Conflating criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism is the oldest trick in the book. No shock that they’d deploy it against a Muslim woman of color for the crime of describing exactly what the Israel lobby does.

No, I just recognize your tired tactic for what it is. Good luck gaslighting people.

Conflating criticism of Israel and the Israel lobby with antisemitism is the oldest trick in the book. Don’t let this fool gaslight you.

What a fabulously bad-faith argument you’re presenting. Really, it’s almost respectable in its gall.

Joel Embiid is the most popular athlete in Philadelphia right now by a country mile. This is also the city that shit all over top 20 all-time legend Mike Schmidt for most of his career and celebrates Brian Dawkins like he’s the son of God. Anecdotal, sure, but so is this.

That escalated quickly.

The funny thing is, when I was reading the article I was thinking to myself “huh, I wonder what an example of this would look like,” and lo and behold, all I had to do was scroll down to the comments 🤣

I feel like this is some kind of performance art, or an experiment testing the limits of irony. 

Your mom’s stupid and dishonest.

Well, I’d say - as an astronaut - it’s more like when you first break through the atmosphere, you need less thrust than you think you, and more when docking at the ISS. I mean, I don’t know THAT much about it, I only spend 6 months out of the year there! But it’s worth considering that the ISS is like the Supreme…

Fucking Christ, it’s bad enough that every thread needs to devolve into some pedantic lawyer-peacocking circle jerk...

Nah, Liz does not clear the bar of being at least 20 years younger than him. 

This is specifically what I came here for. Well done.

Okay 👌 

He’s the gift that keeps on giving.

That’s because it IS thoughts and ideas until he acts on it. Which he didn’t. So it was quite literally a thought crime, and that is something we’ve all been guilty of. Even you. And like I said, I’m not trying to tell you how you’re supposed to feel about it, but I think it’s a worthwhile point.

I really don’t have a problem with what people describe as “outrage culture.” I think it’s good that we’re finally taking things seriously that used to be swept under the rug. The problem I have is the overarching idea that we - meaning those who haven’t transgressed (or at least not publicly) - are somehow above it…
