I said it was a frivolous call made by a cowardly racist. Calm down, my friend. I’m only saying it doesn’t sound like she lied about it - her accusation was exactly as stupid as she represented it.

Ah. Well, nothing like over-criminalizing even more behavior than we already do. I’m sure your magic new interpretation of the law will be applied with perfect racial balance, just like all the other laws!

There you go. She didn’t fabricate anything as far as I can tell. She was a typical cowardly, racist white person, but her accusations were “using the bathroom a lot” and “being here for an hour.” Frivolous legal claims, but not necessarily false.

I 100% agree that this 911 call was totally frivolous, but it doesn’t sound like it constituted a “false report.” That would be if she called and said “they stole money out of the register” when they didn’t.

It’s because he always uses “Jan” as a hypothetical name.

She “bombed” only in the sense that the live audience present was uncomfortable with such pointed criticism. She was performing for people watching on TV, not to entertain the douchebags who go to the WHCD.

I certainly agree with your desire on that front. I think the key is not depending on random matchmaking services, but instead favoring games that let you build your own small community of likeminded folks. MMOs will always be a shitshow, but a hand-picked group of RP-minded Civilization players could be a delight.

So why not simply reject other people’s narrow Manichean worldview? Why do you care what you get labeled as?

If fucking darts is a sport, then any action video game is also - most twitch video games require WAY more physical dexterity than darts.

Oof, you really don’t get it. All well. Can’t fix stupid, I guess.

Ah, you’re under the mistaken impression that I think no one should say mean things. I’m not! I take full responsibility for what I said, and if you took offense, it was MY FAULT because it was MY INTENT to provoke a response in you. I have no “onus to remedy” my offense, because that’s not what I’ve been arguing…

“those who speak words that offend you aren’t responsible for offending you.”

* Could’ve.

Tell me, please - how is anyone “expecting others to pay for the pain that might have been caused”? Are people suddenly taking assholes to court over mean words and I somehow missed it?

WOW. Re-read what you wrote a couple of times and get back to me. Internally inconsistent much?

This is a principle that really only applies to people with a great deal of privilege. It’s not simply a matter of mental self-discipline, and the fact that you distinguish between “everyday” aggressions and abuse by those “close” to us suggests you already know this. This is not a harmless position to take - in fact…

The Republicans nominated vocal white supremacists and neo-Nazis and won with them. Socialists are WAY more normal than the wackos on the other side of the aisle who sailed through.

Who ever made the argument that doxxing is innately bad? It’s a power differential situation: punching a puppy is bad, punching a Nazi during a white nationalist rally is good. Mocking the disabled is bad, mocking Donald Trump is good. Doxxing a teen activist is bad, doxxing Stephen Miller is good.

Unless you’re a fucking monster as well, you’d cheer on this protest. If I happened to be in the same restaurant as her, I’d JOIN the protest. So keep your whiny white “woe is me” bullshit to yourself.

Please eat actual shit.
