It’s more like walking down a street where all the bars and restaurants have been replaced by a bunch of pharmacies. Whether or not you go into any of the pharmacies, you can still be upset that they’re taking up all the space that used to be filled by better shit.

Hope you enjoy your last day or two here as an approved commenter. I posted something on the Katt Williams “cancel culture” article the other day referencing this bullshit story, and looks like they just deleted the whole thread and I’ve been banished to the greys.

How did you write that whole thing out and not realize that the AVClub is **clearly** the “nearest popped-collar douchebag” in this story?

I agree with everything you said in terms of what the right thinks cancel culture is, and by extension what the William Hughes’s of the world think they’re arguing against when they say cancel culture doesn’t exist.

To me, it’s very similar to the evolution of the term “fake news”. The fact that Trump and co. realized the term could be used as a catchall defense against any legitimate news articles they didn’t like, doesn’t mean that the intentional spread of disinformation, the reason the term exists in the first place, isn’t a …

You write for a website (and family of websites) that just tried to paint someone as a racist because in 1999 at age 19 her parents made her go to a ball that had started allowing Black people to join an insufficient amount of time (20 years) prior to that.

People who are resistant to the vampire concept just need to be introduced to Colin Robinson. Because everyone, even people who are themselves energy vampires, knows a Colin Robinson.

The thing about Florida is that the further north you go, the further South you are.

Well first of all, I wrote Mississippi which means I’m already wrong, but from a standpoint of “is this state’s history overtly or passively racist”, yes Missouri is definitely the south.

It’s the south, basically every single institution “initially barred Black and Jewish people from joining”. I’m pretty sure whatever school she attended growing up also initially barred Black and Jewish people, and they were probably named after Confederates too. Does going to high school in Mississippi automatically m…

Roland going from primary antagonist to friendly village idiot was maybe the best decision in a show that got a lot of decisions right.

Same here! It’s why I’m so excited for the pending Iosef Tarasov origin story where we finally learn of the beagle induced childhood trauma that made him who he was.

You’re gonna have to elaborate here...

“Hold on so now you’re arguing against the SEC about what the SEC found.”

He tweeted those statements ***about the company he was the CEO of***. How do you not understand the difference between being an insider, let alone the CEO of the company, and being an outside investor?

Musk got in trouble for tweeting ***non public information about the company he is the CEO of and a major shareholder in***. I’m sorry, but if you don’t understand the difference between an insider disclosing non public information and an individual investor tweeting that they bought a stock, you are not the person…

If he tweeted “AMC to the moon” but made no false representations of any kind about why he said that or what type of insider information he had, there is absolutely no way that it would be an SEC violation. Market manipulation in terms of artificially pumping up a stock mainly relates to pump and dump type schemes,…

He got in trouble for tweeting about his own stock. Here, he’s just an investor in crypto tweeting about his crypto position, and people trip over themselves trying to follow whatever he’s doing. If he tweeted that he just bought a bunch of AMC stock, the Elon cult would drive AMC stock upwards, he’d make a ton of…

Elon Musk is not scamming anyone in regards to crypto. He is very transparent in his market manipulation, which in this case is completely legal given that he does not have any actual power to move the markets other than that which is bestowed upon him by his idiot followers.

It was transparently a pump and dump scheme when he first announced that Tesla bought Bitcoin. Anyone who got “materially harmed” by this just got an expensive education on why investing in a instrument you don’t understand with a valuation entirely dependent on what one guy tweets about it, is not a sound financial…
