I’d rather black women not be the consolation prize for racist incel men.

So, I am a non-Asian man married to an Asian woman. You should be glad I’m writing a response here and not her, because she’d eviscerate you.

Roger, who other people love or find desirable is absolutely NOT your business.  You can’t control it and don’t have the right to judge it.  Live your best life by minding your own business.  You’ll be happier, and a better man.

There’s a difference between an Asian woman dating someone who is non-Asian, and an Asian woman “roaring” that Asian men are ugly. If you can’t see the difference between those two things, that’s 100% your problem, not theirs.

My wife and I have an immutable rule: if you’re holding your pointer finger up while you’re talking, you’re an asshole. This, and only this, is why we call the pose in that first picture “the asshole finger.”

10 year sitcom that was one of the most popular of all time, yes. Well known. 🙄 But I acknowledge your coolness for being above it all.

She’s just parroting buzzwords she’s picked up from twitter. Don’t worry ‘bout it.

Who gets their health information from Twitter?

Or, you know, learning. Not everything is some nefarious capitalist plot.

Herd immunity only works when everyone gets vaccinated OR infected. Or both. You know herd immunity existed before vaccines, right? How do you think the Spanish flu ended. Enforced lockdowns are never happening in the US, they didn’t before we had vaccines and they’re not going to start now, so it’s a moot point. And…

Like the flu, covid isn’t going away...ever. If you haven’t figured that out, you’re the moron. We have to live with it now. You can’t close business’ and lock down a population for very long without severe consequences. We all need resources to survive and people need to go to work to provide those resources.…

“My kid sailed through remote learning with straight A mark (sic)”

Anyone who claims to have the right answer to this problem is a fucking moron who should not be listened to in any way. It’s an impossible choice, so you go with the best bad option, which is keep schools open as best as we can. 

Totally agree - there’s no scenario where everyone can be safe. It’s just the way it is.

No one is going into lockdown two years into this shit. Even the Australians are finally realising they couldn’t lock down forever and now infections are skyrocketing. There is no appetite, no energy. Look at the super strict lockdowns Europe had at the beginning of the pandemic. Compare with omicron where even if the…

Unpopular opinion: schools should be the last thing to close. If we can still dine in restaurants, go to the gym, go on fucking cruises, schools should remain open. The cost - to kids, to parents and especially working mothers - is too high. Europe closed schools far less than the US and still the academic costs were…

Maybe it can both be an anti-racist allegory and also problematically anti-Semitic? Maybe an author can both support “good” things and still have myriad conscious and unconscious biases? Maybe people aren’t always (or, indeed, rarely are) 100% intellectually and morally consistent?

Harry Potter is just one series in a long tradition of British Boarding School book series.   There are hundred of them that span genre but at the core almost all of them are about a poor kids who manages to be the best at everything and rise in status to be part of the upper class of society.  A few authors have…

I’ll be frank, friend. It’s easier to say that now, and it doesn’t really get to the larger point: that while the TERF stuff isn’t in the content of the book, the goblin/Jewish stuff is, and is frankly in a LOT of myth/fantasy/sci-fi stuff, and we ALL just take it for granted, and literally billions of people don’t…

The article about the Daily Mail and Meghan Markle says that they will pay her £1. Not £1 million. It’s stated there in actual headline and in the first sentence.
