As always, there’s an XKCD for this.

Because of your avatar, I read this in Huey Freeman’s voice and it was pretty on point.

Being disliked because of your personality, views and actions isn’t cancel culture, it’s just people not liking you or your work. It’s a part of the package deal of making something to entertain people. There’s is a chance you suck so much that people don’t like your work anymore. That’s just consequences.

It should be a tough, relevant watch. We probably need more stories that hammer this point home. I work with ppl that still say “I don’t believe in the vaccine”, and that’s in the face of other co-workers getting sick 3-4 times over now. It’s both infuriating and exhausting, but they are brainwashed, plain and simple.

If you were to make a movie with the American Government’s actual response to Covid, without having lived through it, everyone would say the writing was far-fetched and wildly unbelievable.

So... should Americans be banned from buying property outside the US? Be vacation homes or permanent homes?

I hate DeSantis too, but yea, I think American citizens should have priority in buying land and property in their own country over foreign entities. But all foreign entities. Not just China.

I feel disgusting for having to agree with that piece of shit DeSantis but I actually agree with banning foreign entities from owning land / real estate within our boarders.
I’ve never heard a good reason for allowing this and as it stands there are so many vacant condo’s in Boston owned by foreigners as investments.

Well, I guess it’s unfortunate that he won’t see any jail time, but frankly as someone who’s seen multiple family members succumb to dementia, I don’t feel like he’s gotten off scot free or anything.

Yep.  I get shit but its always Republicans, religious assholes, the usual dipshits.  In England your gonna get it from Labor and Tories.

“The trans acceptance debate is far too nuanced for baity articles like this.”

“I think she’s entitled to her opinion, she’s entitled to say what she feels.”

Um, just to be clear, J.K. Rowling has never had her opinion silenced. She’s perfectly free to say whatever thing bops into her 100s-of-million-dollar brain. She has, and continues to do so.

The problem for her, Brian, is that people actually…

Former Civil Engineer here. One semi truck does the damage of 10,000 passenger cars. If you eliminated trucks from a stretch of US interstate highway, you’d reduce the required concrete pavement thickness from 9-10 inches to 5 inches. You’d also extend the pavement life from 20 years to 50 years.

So I’m not too worried…

You defo read the responses, you’re just a coward who decided to preempt your lack of reply 😊

You’re “only joking”, the internet’s most impenetrable defense (🙄🙄🙄), so I’m walking into a land mine here, but... There’s a difference between continuing to support a known piece of shit and having supported in the past a person newly discovered to be a piece of shit. Obviously.

I’m not buying Harry Potter, and I didn’t buy High on Life despite it being recommended by quite a few people.  Your move, bigot.

An important part of the story is that he bought a pig as a pet, not understanding that they grow up to become regular sized pigs.

I’ve actually been really happy with how ST has handled Will’s sexuality

Better than the other fiction books that most of them use to swear in on.

Now explain why it’s legal to attach the pointed heads of pikes to those wheels.
