Loaded phrases and codified language are real things too.  “Black lives matter” is different from “Black Lives Matter™.” Very different. Neither one had anything to do with white fragility.

In the same way, then, a poster that says “Jesus is Lord” isn’t distracting to the kids.  Just to the parents. Right?

Black Lives Matter is a political statement that does not belong in a school. Full stop.

If it was just the idea that black lives matter, that black people shouldn’t be harmed/killed/harrassed in general, cool. We all agree. But the actual organization BLACK LIVES MATTER is Marxist and political and should not be…

Nothing.  I do nothing.  Because cancel culture is stupid and just because YOU hate the artist, that doesn’t mean I have to.

What you are saying in the headline and the article isn’t true. Anyone who can read knows it isn’t.

Vote by mail is when the post office delivers a ballot to every address with a registered voter listed at it, meaning if I just moved into a new apartment, I might get ballots for myself plus the previous two tenants.

Abse…

Sorry, but if I was a school administrator, the rule would be “No masks with messages.”

Unless you want someone else to be able to wear a Blue Lives Matter mask. Or one that says MAGA. Or any other statement.

Drinks are half-price all day if you order via the app...

They lost me and my kids with the new elimination of potatoes and nachos.  We will probably eat there 1/4 as much now.

Well, I’ll be! Check out the story in the link below. And at a Starbucks even!

It looks like the cops *do* have reason to be paranoid. Do you really believe this is an isolated incident? Do you not know the joke in the movie Supertroopers from 2001 about spitting in cops’ food because it is a real thing that happens?…

Agreed.  I worked at a candy store in high school and was encouraged to “try every kind of candy, over time, so you can tell our customers what they taste like.”  I tried every variety of Nip that existed, and the coffee was by far the best.

This ranking is accurate.  100X

Yeah, I think this is a bad take. It might feel fine to you, but I like the anticipation of new games coming out. No announcements makes me feel like production is stuck at a crawl due to COVID, so no new games are coming.

I’m a guy who likes getting to the movie theater in time to see the trailers, because that’s part…

Everyone knows that the strawberry flavor is the best.  Maybe they just include more of the more popular flavors...

This is a stupid take. Most people - me included - don’t relate the original poem to Nazi support or anything else related. Instead, it is a caution to speak up for your fellow man when you are able so they will speak up for you if the time comes.

Seriously, people like you just *want* to be offended.  It sucks, and it…

Indeed.  Unless I took an allergy pill earlier, in which case I’d just be pissed at all of the dog drool on my sandwich.

For those of us with dog allergies, this story stinks.  I can’t imagine what I’d do if a dog brought my food to me.

Sorry, but my dad made the biggest popsicle in the early 80's. He filled a huge trashcan with “orange drink” from McDonald’s, stuck a broom stick in the middle, and froze it in the McDonald’s freezer. It was in the papers down in Tulsa, OK.

It was definitely bigger than this one.

While we’re at it, human shouldn’t play aliens, the Brave Little Toaster should be voiced by a real toaster, and there is no way an older woman should be voicing Bart Simpson.

Oh, wait.  It is called “acting” because each “actor” pretends to be something or someone they are not.  Fascinating!

While your criticism of the smart-driving tech is valid, it isn’t worth fear-mongering. Given today’s driving tech, someone could easily remove a Stop sign and cause an accident. Or spray paint a stop light so it looks like it is always green. Or any number of other nefarious low-tech ideas.

So, yeah, someone wanting…

The Root posted an article today saying the “poisoned milkshake” story was a “whole-ass lie.”

It is now time to post an article saying the “nooses” in Oakland and the “noose” in NASCAR stories are “whole-ass lies” too.

But we all know that won’t happen, eh?
