People seem to use "sexist" or "racist" when they are actually looking for “prejudiced.” That word exists to describe prejudgment without the power structure, feel free to use it, folks!

Yep, the default American view (which I say, as an American ex-pat) is that Europe = White = Same, which is uh, extremely far from how Europeans see themselves from my experiences (this of course also applies to other regions in the world where there are huge cultural differences, e.g. Africa = Black = Same, Asia =…

English blood lines are a weird variety of all the various peoples conquering them until they became the predominant power and then also became intermixed to a lesser extent with the peoples they conquered, if they migrated to Britain, and their royal bloodlines were also just a weird ass amalgamation of various other…

I got in the situation with the last 4 letters correct on my 3rd guess, burnt my 4th one on one possible answer, but in my penultimate guess I used an unrelated word containing a bunch of different letters to eliminate the other possibilities.

“Sure, I may have been banned for my shouting ‘FIRE!’ in a crowded theater 8 months ago, leading to numerous preventable panicked casualties, but now that the same theatre was later inspected, condemned, abandoned and then subsequently burnt down, who is the idiot?!”

Well too bad, I've already written your name in for President on the ballot I receive 2 years ahead of time.

“That window was coming right at me! I had to defend myself!"

RogaN, NagoR, RogaN, NagoR!

And no— I’m not saying that we should allow conservative media pundits to say whatever they want, they should be punished for their constant woeful inaccurate statements, but they’re presenting these as real-world fact, not claiming they’re performing some long-standing fictional piece of performance art.

Because this is a tool that can easily be used by fascists to silence critics who are using hyperbole in their works?

I mean I would— it's just more disconcerting for a small child to do it. More... EVIL.

What’s to stop people from doing this in the future, if it’s made easier and less financially risky to do so? That’s what a precedent does.

This reminds me of a time when a child was gleefully laughing when people were getting killed in The Avengers, like it was a slapstick comedy and they'd be fine instead of shredded to pieces in a turbine.

“It meant pedometer... Yeah that’s it, that’s what I meant!”

Seeing the general attitude in this comment section, people are apparently going to love where this leads to the end of parody protections and any sort of alternative or creative license with actual events and historical figures.

I use notepad simply to jot down quick things I need to reference while doing work on another monitor that I subsequently just close or to copy and paste things quickly and the thought of someone actually using it for writing is making me chuckle

Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one who was too distracted with how horrifically slow the "high speed" chase looked.

Yeah what the hell, where have the articles like these been the past 3 or so years?

Very true, I just meant like, technically

Yeah, I got shadow-banned on ye olde Deadspin, and it wasn’t even for anything trollish, it was from a writer (Burneko) notorious for doing that if you dared disagree with one of his takes. I was never out of the greys there, but then I had to make a whole other account just to comment on that site and switch between…
