Shut up Elon.

Interesting comments. I appreciate your thoughts and wanted to share some observations.

8/10 - Solid whataboutism

Ma’am this is an Arby’s.

Come on, Mes. They’re saving themselves for the right cheating husband.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but if a white person goes to a low income area, extracts resources at a low price, takes them home, and sells them to higher income people for a (sometimes relatively massive) profit, that’s not gentrification, that’s colonialism.

Man, if I had explosives and the opportunity...

I never said you didn’t read Rowling’s tweets, I said you could Google why Rowling is transphobic. Like a literal explanation. Not sure why you keep harping on that.

She retweets self-described fascists and transphobes all the time. And that’s outside of the constant transphobic arguments she makes.

What does a transphobe look like to you? What things do you think they say? How do you think they act?

> Some of the people I game with are trans and they actually agree with me.

Agree with you on what? That they shouldn’t be considered “real” men or women? They really said that? 

Now playing

It’s long and has a relatively light tone, but the youtube channel ContraPoints has a video explaining why all the #reasonable things she points out that are #justheropinion are actually intensely transphobic.

lol

You said you wanted someone to explain to you what she said that caused so much hatred. Explainers on that exact subject are a dime a dozen, just a Google away.

lifted trucks/jeeps with the aftermarket LED light bar on for no reason.

I routinely see pickup truck driving asshats with LED bars and/or (maybe aftermarket, illegal) LED headlights where they drive around with brights on 24/7. Bro “culture”, USA!, Muh Freedumb, etc.

If I had a nickel for every time the inside of my skull got X-Rayed by an oncoming Acura MDX...
