I get where you’re coming from, but as is the case with any slight or insult, the anger may be justified, but there are bounds to what kind of response to that anger is justified and what utility it serves beyond one’s own catharsis. If I bumped into you and made you spill your drink, an expensive drink that you were…

Was 2009 far enough along the timeline for the dissolution of “generally monolithic” homophobia amongst the black (and the comedian) community? If Prop 8 was Nov 4, 2008, and exit polls were around 70-75% amongst black voters in support of it, and even Barack Obama went on national television and stated “I believe…

Perhaps the product managers and engineers of Tumblr, looking over what they’ve created and handed over to the internet, and saw what it evolved into, and how it’s making it’s money, decided it just wasn’t worth supporting it for what it was. Tumblr has a ‘red light’ district-like reputation on the internet, not that…

Did she though? And you really think that’s all it takes for someone to have to go sit down? Your point of view is exactly why there won’t ever be a unifying progressive leader, and is exactly what the right is counting on to prop up Trump for another 4 years. It’s up to you, if you have any conviction at all, to…

Thank fucking God? Was the mere existence of Rookie, one that you seemed very pro-active in antagonizing, so detrimental and orthogonal to your own?

No one fucking owes *you* an answer about why they decided to do anything with something they wrote themselves, it doesn’t mean they changed their mind, it *definitely*…

I mean she was invited to a roundtable to discuss the topic, so I guess someone else wanted to hear her point of view on the subject? Or maybe they knew it would get them clicks and attention, and they didn’t actually give a damn what she thought. There’s no hard facts of how much as an aggregate latina women make…

Lol yes. Also, the washed clock adage, primo stuff. 

So she’s made “Think like a man”, “Think like a man, too”, and now “What men want”... which all sound like the same thing? Did anyone who’s seen those previous movies think ‘Oh man, this is such a rich and vibrant conceit that I’d like to see the same person act out over and over? Aren’t we being a bit generous with…

mostly because I’m convinced Mufasa did some shit to Scar to make him vengeful, and I’m pretty sure whatever it was, it was cause enough for Scar to react.

You don’t *need* to watch it before hand, but a few of the call backs would probably make more sense, though you could watch a youtube summary or even just read about it on Wiki to get the gist of it. 2049 has fantastic design and cinematography, it’s definitely enjoyable to chew the visuals.

^ This guy right here, the single most annoying person on this site. 

It’s not like ‘Fuck that shit’ is a hot take or anything. To each his own.

Can you ever completely rule out racism when a conflict involves two people of different races? If not, then must every such conflict inherently stem from racism first and foremost? How broadly do you define racism?

I don’t think a student getting killed by campus security is a typical outcome? Do students feel more threatened than safe by the presence of campus security? Should they? 

75% of the most vocal people in general chat on HOTS seem to hate that game. That is, when they’re not saying other, horribly despicable things. 

When Obama was president, gun sales skyrocketed. There was a very widely circulated belief that any day now he was going to impose marshall law and try to forcibly remove guns from their owners, and they were stocking up for the eventual showdown. Democrats are no longer just the opposing party, they have now become…

Oh, that makes sense. I mean you need money to get married of course, and rather than coming up with a sensible plan to sustain your marriage, or god forbid wait, who wouldn’t just rip off an elderly amputee woman who trusted you. And throw in a bachelor’s party in Vegas and a honeymoon in Turks and Cacos, just to…

Campus security. They swipe ID cards in at dorms and buildings. They drive around in carts to make sure there’s no ruckuses around campus. They break up parties that are too loud or have alcohol. It’s a decent job with decent benefits, union protections, higher payer than most in the vicinity, and zero chance of…

Campus security isn’t killing anybody, you can chill a few notches. It’s just a performative act and a waste of everyone’s time, time he could’ve spent studying and she could’ve spent playing Candy Crush or whatever. Occurrences like these seem to keep happening when the aggrieved can’t de-escalate the situation on…

The lady already has articles about her on CNN, USAToday, long comment threads on reddit, etc. She’s done the rounds. She’s apologized, but is already marked for expulsion from society, spending the rest of her days in purgatory. Is there really any point to pile even more coverage on it at this point? Also,…
