I didn’t say I thought I could draw legal conclusions from an article?  I’m not making a legal conclusion.  I’m not using “parody” as a legal term of art.  It’s not that you hurt my feelings, it’s that I don’t see the point of having a conversation with someone who refuses to consider the basis for my argument. …

People like days off. Brilliant insight. Many medical workers already aren’t going to get this holiday, by your own admission.  There is no modern society where you can have a holiday where some workers don’t get that holiday.  

Okay, whatever, like I said, this is a dumb conversation to continue since you refuse to consider the basis for my opinion, and would simply rather dismiss it out of hand as irrelevant. I’m not going to argue with you about why you won’t read a (very good and very interesting) article that will provide more insight…

Seen AOC et al on the TV talking about the inhumane treatment lately? Not good to point out Biden/Harris have screwed this up as royally as Trump.

So, it is absolutely not “totally voluntary” when someone lies to you so they can capture you, that is literally kidnapping.  Even if there are nonprofits that do this, you have to see the difference between a nonprofit legitimately offering migrants travel to a destination, and a representative of Ron DeSantis lying…

That woman who facilitated kidnapping-by-fraud working at the behest of the next president/dictator of the United States, I’ll have you know. And this comment has been catalogued for future prosecution (yours).

Not necessarily going to argue with any of this.  

Exactly!

I am very aware that the strike and the holiday are different things. What I am pointing out is that the anti-union “how dare they disrupt hospital operations, think of the cancer patients” argument I’ve seen elsewhere is exactly the same argument Jezebel is using against the holiday here.

I’d be inclined to care what you think about how “moot” my criticism was if you hadn’t admitted that you prefer to continue this argument in unnecessary ignorance rather than read a more detailed description of the film to see whether it makes my argument more or less solid. Since you won’t bother to at least inform…

I don’t really care one way or another about what Kimmel did, I’m not Brunson, I don’t know her or Kimmel, whatever. But I am a connoisseur of celebrity apologies, and this one strikes me as a pretty good one! Well done Jimmy, I guess. Every year it gets harder to believe that you did The Man Show with Adam fucking…

If you don’t care whether it’s a parody, why did you respond to my comment informing you it was a parody?

You can, though! I linked to it! You can go there, and read it, and argue that what it describes isn’t “clearly parody.” Or, I suppose, you can argue that the author of that piece mischaracterized it. So, while it is true that, for now, I have more information than you on this movie because I’ve read a more detailed…

It’s absolutely disgusting, but par for the course for a guy who entrapped a bunch of people to try to make a point about non-existent voter fraud. These are massive, shocking abuses of power that get swept out of the news cycle far too quickly (maybe this one won’t). The brazenness, and the casual willingness to…

Britain may have planned for the event itself, but what’s relevant here is that no one could have said “Don’t make an appointment for X date, it’s a holiday,” until a few days ago.  Regardless, if you want to pin your argument on less-than-precise word choice, fine, whatever, but I’m curious what you think anyone…

Don’t worry everyone, the hall monitor’s here to make sure everyone plays by the rules (that benefit powerful corporation’s investments, not actual creativity). 

Lol, I’ve read a more detailed description of it than this article, and if it’s not a parody the writer who described it should be fired, because what they are describing is a clear and obvious parody (it starts with a big disclaimer saying “This is an unauthorized parody” and then goes onto be more obviously a parody…

Those people probably care. The world does not revolve around your indifference, either.  (And why should the world revolve around the anxieties of cancer patients?  You sound like a peach of a person)  

The thing that stood out to me about that profile was how just over Strong’s bullshit all the rest of the actors seemed over his bullshit. Like, not that he’s a bad guy or anything, but they all just seemed over how annoyingly intense he was. I’d distill it as:

So are you admitting that some people (like the people quoted in the other article) might consider having a chemo appointment (or other appointment) delayed a “big deal.”
