I never quibble. I will gladly equivocate, prevaricate, pick nits, split hairs, cavil and criticize, but quibble, sir? NEVER, sir!

I also see your point that "positive" stereotypes are still potentially offensive stereotypes (and the line "like many grandmothers/regular people around the world, this broad Trusts No Bank" doesn't help). But it's hard to write in a casual, genuine, humorous tone like that and not eventually offend someone, so I'm…
Isha, I will agree with @hwright in that it's an inappropriate and potentially offensive use of the word "geriatric". Even if you knew for a fact that the woman was receiving special medical care related to her age (i.e., "geriatric medicine"), it would have been more correct to refer to her age category as the…
If memory serves me correctly, this one didn't work out so well:
Oh, God... is this, like, a Women's Auxiliary of TheRedPill?

I got one word into the WIRED piece, and saw that they spelled it "Nasa" instead of "NASA", and all I thought was, if they got that wrong, how can I trust the rest of the article? It's kind of like writing an article on domestic surveillance and starting in with the sentence, "Fbi, Cia, and Nsa are three important…
Prediction: at some point in the next twenty years, he will be involved in a gay sex scandal.
My interpretation was that he paid for it, which makes the takedown even harsher.
Sandytaco said that he/she believes in "the rule of law", and that the people how spray-painted "You're beautiful!" on the billboard as a protest against body-shaming propaganda should be jailed (not fined, jailed!) because they were violating the "rule of law".
Think about the child in all of this...
I'm not comparing anything to anything. You said you believed in the "rule of law", and you want the vandals caught and jailed for spray-painting two smiley faces and the words "You're beautiful!" in what was clearly an act of peaceful protest.
Hey, Sandytaco was the one who insisted on the "rule of law", and in a later quote said that the vandals should be jailed (as opposed to fined or made to do community service). I just want to know how absolute Sandytaco's resolve is.

Tough. The vandal broke the law. Did the person who rented the sign? Do you not believe in the rule of law? Or only when the law suits you?
I'm mixed ethnicity myself. I expect there will be more and more of us as time goes on.
Yes. Yes they are very different scenarios. What's your point?
In the United States, there was plenty of justification of racial segregation as being in the "best interests" of all parties. I suspect it was always a little more in the "best interests" of the whites.
