I guess I don’t understand how attempting to engage a real person is lazy when that’s like a two second google and five minute read versus an effort to connect with three different threads on a discussion board that’s taken the better part of an hour. Combative? I made no insults but I implied I detected one. I did…

“female scientists”

Well, but now you’re baiting folks. You are incorrectly assuming that people know the difference between adjectives and nouns. In the US, that’s going to be a high bar for the folks who are routinely using ‘female’ as an insult in the first place...

Wait, who said ‘woman’ is offensive? Is it? What are supposed to call people with a uterus and breasts?

I’m confused. Why is the term “thug” dehumanizing? I’ve never heard of an animal or alien thug.

Part of the issue might stem from the fact that some men are ignorant that using “female” as a noun is in anyway offensive to anyone. These same men might use the term without realizing it offends anyone and without intending to de-humanize women or a woman in any way.

Sorry. From the South. We filter all “yes” as “yep” by auto. ;)

The line “Yep, that’s clear” felt like snark. I mean I’m admitting ignorance and asking a straightforward question. I bemoan the lack of nuance online and apologize for assuming snark.

No, I’m not trolling. Not intentionally anyway. I’m an anthropologist. I ask culturally relevant questions and discuss them as dispassionately and unambiguously as possible in order to attain understanding of things that hold mystery for me. When I write papers I make my history and profile known to better attain self…

She had so many good ones. The Russian translator teleprompter and the Giuliani were two of the best. The Putin horse joke was borderline tasteless and I totally sucked air when it hit. So yeah, I tried to match interpretations for the borderline ones with what the audience was doing.

Fascinating. So does that make the term ‘male’ unpalatable as well?

Is that snark I smell? Why do I deserve snark while requesting enlightenment?

In what world would appreciating someone’s appearance in earnest be any kind of detriment? Regardless of who or what you are, wearing the right thing at the right and getting praise for it should never be out of bounds. She absolutely looked fabulous especially compared to some of the stuff she’s worn in the past…

Pretty sure it’s a mix of a tanning bed and a piss poor make up artist. The foundation or spray tan he uses looks weird under certain lights. You can tell best with indoor shots. Pay close attention to the circles around his eyes. Completely different color. You can also tell when he holds his hands close to his face.…

You. Are. Awesome! This will probably be the first thing I’ve ever posted to Facebook ever.

Trump seems pretty darn terrible but he had some awesome jokes in the beginning of his speech. The whole room was laughing including Hillary until he jumped the Trump and started to get boo’s.

I thought it was about age until someone here explained it.

She did kill it but her delivery was off a few times.

Wow. By coincidence I just watched a Ricky Gervais stand up routine called out of England or somesuch from about four months back that had almost this opening. I don’t find him especially funny either.

She fucked up delivery on that punch line and barely recovered when she expounded on it. I even had to a double take and think for a second before I got the joke because she kind of murmured the “four” part of it. Once she explained about the book and torch, then people started to get it. Me an Rudy weren’t the only…
