The guy who made the video is autistic.

On the other hand, though, the person who made this was autistic. I highly doubt that he’d agree that he was putting a child up for public ridicule by suggesting that they might share this attribute.

I agree. Like we were told in my high school that it was stupid and unnecessary (by our parents and each other, mostly) but god, would it have been good to have. I literally had my girlfriend show me how to chop an onion like a week ago. Apparently I’ve been doing it the stupid, hand-slicey way.

Oh, no, I don’t think so. Deadspin comments stack weird on my phone sometimes.

And I’ve said as much elsewhere, but it’s not really fair to blame millennials for not being able to do basic adult things when (1) our parents didn’t teach us and (2) schools mostly don’t offer practical life skills classes anymore.

If you look at the larger age breakdown, your generation still voted for him at a much greater rate than ours did. And if we’re defining Gen X as born in the 60s and 70s (which afaik is the prevailing usage?), 45 is still well within Gen X.

Lol, except the youths still overwhelmingly voted for Clinton and your generation overwhelmingly didn’t.

I mean, really though, how do kids know this shit if people don’t tell them?

Okay, but yours is the generation that actually elected the fascist dictator.

Which is not in any way the fault of the people who are learning. Why are we punishing kids for the failures of their parents and the public education system, exactly?

Jokes can still be offensive and stupid. If something is offensive in our opinion, you can call it offensive. Getting all bent out of shape over someone expressing their opinion about a joke and calling that a violation of free speech is just stupid.

Is your point that it was the attempts to introduce women’s rights through legal reforms that CAUSED the unrest in places like Libya, Syria and Tunisia?

This “have to” thing is bullshit, though. They don’t HAVE to do anything. No one has ever had to defend a joke. You’re saying people shouldn’t have the right to be upset about or critical of something, because someone else didn’t mean to hurt their feelings.

Also it seems rare that you’d refer to someone in the third person while speaking to them.

Yeah! Nobody should be called by their name or preferred pronoun. I’m with you, Adolf Buttnugget.

If I swapped my brain with that of a baby koala, your comment wouldn’t seem so stupid.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but some women color their hair.

It was like a hypersexualized mickey mouse club dance routine.

You sure do have a lot of fascinating insights on grief based on what you saw on TV.

Yeah, if your son dies you get to be weird for like twenty minutes and then you should be over it.
