This is a very weird sense of morality you have, where if you agree with things you think are right, you are somehow a hypocrite. It is possible to believe that blackballing Kaepernick for protesting police brutality is wrong, and to believe that Mike Richards losing his job for a series of embarrassing and avoidable…

No, the idea that if you say something to someone else, then it’s not private.

Oh? So if shitposting is posting “for teh lulz,” what is the source of “teh lulz”? 

cool

I mean, once you state a thought publicly to someone, especially someone who has no sort of obligation to keep it to themselves, it’s not really private anymore, is it?

The idea that if you get enough people online to complain about an employee the employer will decide it’s easier to just fire the person than have to deal with the negative PR.

You got those replies here, to this post?  Then why did you say you’re “getting ahead of those.”  Also, I’m not sure the taxonomic distinction between trolling and shitposting is as sharp as you think. You’re deliberately saying outrageous things (and if not to provoke a reaction, to what end?). 

Wait, so are you telling me that your “Calm down, it’s just a shitpost” isn’t even a reaction to actual replies you’ve gotten? It’s just an anticipatory reaction to the “metric fuck ton of sophomore liberal arts students” you think must be waiting feverishly to go “on a pages long political rant” about you?  Also, I…

So what exactly is it that makes you uncomfortable? That Jeopardy repeatedly failed to fire this guy for numerous fireable offenses? Or is it the fairly unremarkable idea that highly public organizations respond to public pressure? Like, it seems weird to acknowledge that (1) this guy committed fireable offenses, (2) t…

Is it? Your private thoughts are private so long as you keep them to yourself.  Once you announce them to another person who is capable of understanding what you are saying and repeating it to others, that’s not really private.  I mean, it seems pretty obvious to me that “Shit you say out loud to another person”…

Lol, my intent is to say the opposite of that.  I was responding with sarcasm (Poe’s law, I know) to someone who was pretending not to understand why what Nichols said was racist.

(it’s a shit post, you don’t need to go on a scree)

Nothing racist about saying a person of color got their job as a diversity hire.

She said that shit to another person. That’s not private. Not only that, the person she said it to was someone she knew in a professional capacity, and the person she was talking shit about also knew that person in a professional capacity. She was essentially shitting on a work colleague to that person’s professional c…

Outside of the Trump division, this has to be one of the biggest own goals I’ve ever seen anywhere, ever.  I’m not aware of any single person who thought this guy did a good job hosting.  All this guy had to do was be satisfied with his highly lucrative gig as EP of two successful, well-established game shows. …

My experience dining alone has been that I typically receive less attention than others. I don’t necessarily ascribe it to any ill-will or stereotyping by staff (although I am part of at least one group that stereotypically doesn’t tip well). And to be honest, I often welcome less attention. I don’t need a check-in…

Okay, fine, but you seemed perplexed as to how anyone could prefer walkability, and I’m explaining it to you. If all you are saying is you have a distinct preference for larger property over walkability, fine, but I’m not sure what that’s really adding. Also, there is plenty of room between “10 acres of land and…

What is even your point?  You don’t trust the results of this survey because some people are more private than others?  Also.....what do “intelligent people” do?

Because you don’t want to have to drive everywhere you go?  Because you don’t want to have to get in your car and drive somewhere every time you want a soda?  Because you don’t want a 20 mile round trip every time you need to go grocery shopping or to get dinner?  Your personal preferences are what they are, but…

Yeah, you won’t see many people who have successfully built a life and raised a family in places like Chicago, New York, D.C.
