I watched it for the first time recently after hearing so much hype about it...and honestly I thought it was pretty bad. I struggle to find almost anything redeeming about it.

I think one of the biggest sources of struggle is the view that “my issues are BS.” Everyone’s issues are as big as they are — it doesn’t matter how big they “should be.” If something is upsetting you enough to get you to that point, then the people at these services want you to call them. That’s exactly what they’re…

Morpheus: Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are.

JC Denton: Some people just don’t understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance.

That’s my fucking son you’re talking about, bud.

Ugh, can’t you go anywhere without someone mentioning Trump?

I can’t even imagine the inner turmoil of working for a place whose readership is one step away from actively hating everything you stand for, and I just wanted to say: I appreciate the work you do here. Aside from a few shining bright spots like Arnheim, this comments section is one of the least tolerant places on…

Look, if you want to say something in these comments all I ask is that you be respectful to one another. Disagree on whatever points you want but please treat each other decently.  (Assholes and transphobes get banned.)

Jesus Christ Fahey we’ve got all these new Lays flavors and NOBODY’S TELLIN’ ME ABOUT ‘EM.

Sorry Khaled but this franchise’s star goes down on her woman #lore

Nice Canadian Highlander mention! I will one up and say that if anyone wants a really good recurring podcast about Canadian Highlander, check out North 100:

...what? He even says in the TITLE OF THE ARTICLE that it’s “still bad”. 

Can people stop acting like he’s well established or well known? He has less ham 10k subs on YouTube. He has less than 3k followers on twitter. He’s not well established. He’s a step above a reddit commenter.

No, they actually said why they fired her. Was for none of the reasons your claiming.

So what’s the justification for firing Fries? Or is that just an acceptable price to pay to get the woman fired for being rude on twitter?

Was that from another article somewhere, or a narrative you’ve pieced together?

Language is a shared thing. It has cultural context.

We can’t expect anyone to just not use bad words everywhere, but we can control the spaces we have control of, whether that means managing triggering words and phrases in safe spaces or a company or other organization reprimanding people for using hate speech.

I don’t…

Cock has several meanings, as agreed upon by the collective conventions of language. It doesn’t matter if the Streamer was not referring to gay people when he called someone “faggot.” He knows the word is an insulting term used hatefully against gay people. The fact that he (and apparently you) then turns the word…

I’m not saying anyone *needs* permission but it’s like this:

I’m disabled. So my POV is in relation to slurs about my body and how I walk, rather than who I sleep with. I only mention that because I’m 100% against the word “cripple” as a noun.
