Did I ask you that question? I’m pretty sure I asked someone else. But you’re right, you did answer it. And then I responded to your answer. But good job on tracking the history of this conversation.

Did they say it was funny, though? I’m not seeing that in their comment.

So basically, if you’re not offended by something, sit and think about it until you ARE offended? Okay. Let’s all do that. Sounds like a winning strategy for humanity.

So, another person just told me that trans people are murdered for being trans, seemingly with regularity. But I can’t find any actual evidence that this happens, outside of maybe a few isolated instances. But even if they were, I would still outright reject the assertion that a joke like this one would be the cause…

I never said people don’t have the right to freak out, I just don’t see the point in freaking out over everything. Because at a certain point, it just becomes tedious thought/language-policing, and the ultimate effect is that it desensitizes people to your protests. We can’t be in an uproar 24/7 over obviously insignif…

Trans people get murdered for being trans? What are the stats on that, and what’s the data on causal links between those murders and jokes/statements like the tweet in question? Not trying to be obtuse, I just genuinely don’t see the connection you’re making as being plausible.

That’s fine. I just think it’s healthier for everyone if people ignore the mean words others say. Until it leads to actual actions, words are easy to ignore. But that’s just me. And I say that as someone who’s been the victim of a ton of verbal abuse in my life for things that I had little-to-no control over.

And? People say offensive things every day. Always have, always will. Get the fuck over it. And what does Trump have to do with this? I mean, seriously. Trump sucks but this isn’t even remotely related to him. 

Why do you care if people are or aren’t “transphobic” anyway? Why does everyone have to align their morals with yours? I’m honestly curious. There are no doubt a lot of people out there that legitimately hate the things I believe in and hold dear, but I’m not losing any sleep over it. We don’t have to accept the same…

My mom and I run an etsy shop selling the various artistic things we make (furniture and paintings and stuff) and we’ve learned that if you get an email from Russia, or from someone with a Russian name who obviously doesn’t have a great handle on English, delete it because it’s a scam. Every single time. 

Hey, good to see some fellow Coheed fans! Great song.

I wish that were true. If I were a billionaire, I would definitely have one. And then I would invite most of the people in this thread to come dive into it, Scrooge McDuck style. Because we all know that would work just like it does in the cartoon.

What would you be taxing? Ownership in a company that’s worth billions of dollars? No billionaire is just sitting on a pile of cash and liquid assets, the vast majority of their wealth is in shares of ownership of companies. That’s only worth something if you sell your stocks. There are very few (if any) true…

The degree of ignorance contained in this article is staggering to behold. It’s kind of disturbing how out of touch the far left and media have become in the last few months. The way to combat insanity on the right is not by sustaining your own prolonged psychosis, which is really only serving to push more and more…

“How is saying that less distinctive content increases the likelihood of plagiarism a denial that this was plagiarism?”

Well, I haven’t read any of the other replies to your original comment, so I don’t know what other people are saying. But from my perspective, you did say that you think it’s probably plagiarism, but then you went on to essentially say that the generic nature of the vocabulary used in game reviews makes this sort of…

Uh, no. You’re totally right that game reviewers tend to use a lot of generic words and turns of phrase. But when entire sentences and paragraphs use the exact same words and structure them almost identically, and that happens throughout the entire review, that’s not just due to coincidence or a high probability of…

As someone who regularly replays most of the games I own, I can’t sympathize with your predicament. But since you said yourself that you’re not sure if you even want to buy a Switch, I guess it’s not really a predicament anyway.

I’ve put ~50 hours into this game, and I still just can’t get fully comfortable with the jumping physics. I like tight controls, but this game is the rare instance where I feel like things are actually too tight. The platforming is good in terms of its design, but sometimes I feel like the character is just a little…

No, you should be disagreeing, because it is an extremely obvious double standard. The answer that you’re getting, and will always get on a site like this one, is that it’s impossible to be racist towards white people because white people are just so “privileged.” Which probably every single person on the planet who…
