It’s a disease known as “Yes Men-ism”, when everyone around you is too busy polishing your ass with their tongues to say ‘no’, so you start to think every idea you have is pure gold.

It’s what happens when people acquire insane wealth. The money replaces their brain cells

I’ll give 1000% more credit to Daft Punk than to Kanye for that one

I’ve been teaching/TA-ing at the college level for the past 6 years, and I’ve received precisely one trigger-warning request (which was reasonable), zero demands to create a safe space, and zero complaints from conservative students who felt that their “free speech” was being stifled. And yes, I did have openly…

You don’t need to explain that to me. I was a kid growing up in the 90s with toys based on Robocop, Terminator, Predator, etc.

I can’t do games like this, or Outlast. I can’t do jump scare games where if you get the jump scare—it’s game over. I hate being unable to fight back or struggle because I know that, at least, in real life I’d struggle.

I don’t know about all ages, but I would say it’s true mostly of young people these days. Especially Hispanic kids in my neighborhood. The N word is very casual with them and not a big deal at all. But I’d add Rodriguez’s history isn’t all that suspect either, and is just more of the aforementioned celeb scrutiny and …

Maybe you’ve lived in such sheltered, privileged, homogeneous setting? Not everyone lives that way, you know.

Aren’t Latino people allowed to say that? Like Cardi B, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Takashi 69, Cypress Hill...

That’s not how it works, nowadays. Intuition and emotion are much more important than the facts...or evidence...things like that.

Good lawd. Comparing a man that was exonerated in court, charges dropped before that, civil cases thrown out before that, FBI investigating for a decade and declining to charge, LAPD investigating for years and finding zero evidence of wrongdoing... to the Klan and Nazis??

British former DJ Danny Baker once told of interviewing Jackson on his radio show. When it was over, and Jackson and his entourage were on their way out, the none-more-Saahf-London Baker bade him goodbye with, “Take care of yourself, mate!”
