Have you ever tried to get an image or video wiped from the internet?

I'm not talking about legally. I know it's illegal and considering how much of an asshole this woman is she will probably charge them. I'm talking about my sympathies.

I just commented this on the mega-thread up top, but I think it's worth commenting here: I have complete sympathy for physically removing the glasses from her face. As far as stealing the stuff, no, that confused me and I wondered why it was done (if it was done, as there seems to be doubt), but the glasses I…

I came back to see if you got your answer because I was thinking about this and came up with another answer, and I saw that my other answer was mentioned but I'm going to mention it anyway.

You can certainly argue that she looks like an idiot - all I'm saying is that there's a valid reason to wear them around-the-clock. Saying she looks like an idiot doesn't change the validity of the answer at all.

I read that and thought that too, but I think "have" is more general than "birth" here. Because no one can force you to take care of an already-born child; you can give it up to the state if you no longer wish to take care of them.

Oh, you got me. Up until this point I thought "I can't really fault them for being ignorant of the nuances of satire, I've spent entire semesters studying it so I'm being elitist assuming they would have the most basic knowledge of it". Then you used Kurtz's own article to justify why you think Kurtz is being…

Huh? I agree with that, but my comment is about school closings and childcare, not about bringing children to work.

I think Lupita in white is absolutely the best 100% out of all those colors. There's just something so incredibly strikingly elegant about it.

"But I don't like her!" is not a valid defense of misogyny, unfortunately. Especially when the reasons you don't like her are misogynistic.

Yes, most people who say things that oppress a marginalized group of people don't intend it that way despite what they say further marginalizing those people. That's how a great deal of marginalization happens, so it's not surprising that you don't see it as marginalizing in the least.

When my mother had my sister and I, she was a married stay-at-home-mother with a husband that had a substantial salary and she certainly had enough money to raise us. ~10 years later she realized what a shithead my father is and divorced him, luckily taking us with her. However, her 10+ years of not having employment…

Wow, the trifecta of misogyny - slut shaming, body snarking, and victim-blaming. You are truly king misogynist here, good job! You win the gold star!

Sitting at home due to a school cancellation does not in the least make you an expert on why schools are cancelled. Why would it? If that's true, then all children would be experts on why schools are cancelled as well, since they do the same things as you. But certainly you're not arguing that you're as knowledgeable…

I think a lot of people with Glass wear them all the time, because part of the appeal of it is how it's always there to do whatever you want. If you're looking at something cool and want to take a picture for example, it's faster to take one on Glass than to take your phone out, unlock it, go into the camera app, then…

I made a post on Groupthink the other day about privacy for the sake of privacy and how that concept is going out the window nowadays. I am the kind of person that treats my privacy as an opt-in to my information kind of thing - if I want you to know the information, I will choose to make you privy to it. This does…

There's definitely grace involved in how the LW is acting, I don't know how she could handle it with more grace - she's not acting badly towards the kids, she brought it up with the parents and is expressing sympathy for their problems. She's looking outside herself to try to find a solution that's agreeable for…

I think you've slightly crossed the line here - say a person is too poor to afford a babysitter and thus has to bring their child to their job. Your options of "find a babysitter or stay the fuck home" don't help at all because the problem is a lack of money, which not going to work will only exacerbate for obvious…

My mistake, it doesn't change a thing about the comment - she would deserve sympathy if it was her boyfriend, fiance, husband, best friend, secret lover, child, cousin, or anything else. Someone subjected to a racial attack is worthy of sympathy, period.

1. I never said you were criticizing me either.
