Remember when “punishing” just used to mean “difficult”?

As someone who spends at least six and more likely twelve hours in front of my computer every day, I definitely fall into the camp of people who know they’re slowly destroying their eyes, but also the camp of people who are making zero moves to change that.

This is an article about Terry McAuliffe, and you are the target audience. Perhaps you’ve come to the mistaken conclusion that Splinter is about reaching out to leftists? It isn’t. It’s about riling up assholes like you, while leftists stand by watching and laughing. And it’s been pretty damned effective.

Biden is apparently ahead in quite a few races though, which is pretty terrifying.

Can we stop with the “white dude” shit? McAuliffe himself—what he’s done and what he represents—is enough to not want him to run. If he were a “white dude” with good political views and ideas, it would be a benefit for him to run.

When the term “virtue signal” makes its appearance, we all have a pretty good idea of what we arfe dealing with.

YES! I hate Latinx (Latina here). I refuse to use it. Its so stupid and LatinAmericans actually living in Latin America don’t recognize it as a word.

Yeah, this is exactly it. I don’t think we can safely and cleanly file away all critiques of PC/identity politics/whatever in the same bin. There has to be room for critiques of bad actors. And as little as some people might want to believe it, there exist people who will use these supposedly spotless bags of ideology…

Louis-Dreyfus first articulated this thought in an interview with Time, in which she said, “I think as soon as people start bitching about ‘politically correct,’ it’s a term for something else [...] I’m in favor of political correctness. I’m suspicious of those who have a problem with it. I think it is language for…

And yet, it’s because Draymond goes so big all the time that he ends up getting far more of a pass than he should. Dude gets kicked out a lot compared to the average player, but his behavior is so inexplicably shitty that he should be getting kicked out way more than he does. If you go overboard, you can get away with…

Why not just use a branded bottled that previously contained a legal beverage? Seriously? Kids haven’t developed better underage-drinking game than we had in the ‘90s? This may be the dumbest “teen trend” I’ve ever heard of.

Most people would just not go back. I don’t think most people who get too little meat on a sub start tweeting at corporate, or otherwise going back and forth about it. I mean, seriously. Yes, I get it. For a few people, it’s the principle of the thing. But most people just know where they won’t be eating next time.

I mean, what happened wasn’t right, but how much time have you spent thinking about, in addition to pursuing, this whole mess? Like, seriously. It’s a fucking sub. Just don’t go back to, or think about, that Subway location again.

Yeah, it’s one of those things where I wish it weren’t so, but any time her name comes up, it just inherently feels like a publicity stunt. Like, nobody is expecting it to go anywhere; it’s just about Allred keeping her name in the news, and maybe the poor sap she’s representing gets to spin it into some paid TV…

2. Whichever party can un-fuck health care for the majority of Americans will win the pony. “The pony” being unprecedented good will and control.

I dont understand how Twizzlers are “offensive” to people. They are chewy strawberry ropes. Red vines have no flavor, texture, or aroma other than a vaguely flour-ey mouthfeel.

I’m nearly convinced, at this point, that Gloria Allred exists to counterintuitively discredit victims by being the chief ambulance-chaser of sexual assault and harassment cases.

I don’t agree with any of Notch’s batshit ramblings, and largely concur with the argument that he’s far too Online for a billionaire whose life isn’t remotely touched or endangered by the shit he’s chosen to be angry about. But I don’t think people quite understand how much damage they’re doing by concluding that…

Backgrounds in older anime, even totally pedestrian stuff, are just hands-down superior to pretty much any backgrounds being produced today. It’s one of the areas that productions seem to have cut dramatically in order to reduce costs. We notice, and it certainly sucks.

I think our education system is trying to blend in elements of cooperative learning. Obviously, not every single bit of learning students do is going to be in that mold, but putting students in pairs/groups, assigning cooperative projects, etc. is not exactly a new thing in American education.
