I once listened to an overview of some of his arguments. Granted, it was a comedy thing that was eviscerating his idiocy but yeah, basically. His entire thing is just sounding really fucking sure of himself.

Oh, we’re doing philosophy, are we? Well, then surely Ben Shapiro would be aware that what he’s doing here, namely committing an ontological or semantic error in which things belonging to a particular category are presented as if they belong to a different category, has a name in philosophy. Gilbert Ryle referred to…

Conservatives are so oversensitive. 

Facts don’t care about your feelings. As far as he’s concerned, they care a whole hell of a lot about his feelings.

For someone who likes the phrase, “Facts don’t care about your feelings,” so much, he certainly has a lot of the latter. He ‘believes’ a whole ton of stuff, doesn’t he?

I know this is rhetorical but a big part of what Shapiro is getting paid for is a lack of self-reflection. It takes a certain type of person to keep saying how delicious that boot is.

Hell, that’s a thing he could probably actually make solid progress on in under a week if he put in the effort.

I constantly tell my parents that they did me no favors instilling me with morals and values, because these republicans can be fleeced every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

he discovered selling ones soul to the GOP can pay well... and he’s all about finding the highest payer

What- no more Disney congratulatory ass-kissing, io9? What happened, checks stopped coming?

Movies don’t kill people. Assault rifles wielded by right wing extremists kill people.

Wrong. It was a fast starting fire. The suspect doused the building and victims with gasoline and lit the gasoline. You cannot see that kind of fire coming.

I’d wager greater odds that the person that did this was a worked-to-near-death-and-then-fired employee.

It’s possible, but unlikely if you ask me. KyoAni is one of the extremely rare studios in the industry, where animators get hired as salaried employees who aren’t paid per frame. That also affects their animation quality greatly. KyoAni is also one of the rare studios, which picks and produces their own projects. So…

But mental health is totally not a problem worth addressing in Japan, nope, definitely not.

As someone who had years and years of fun with the content the studio produced, I’m appaled by this. People working there played a very important part in me having more interest and appreciation for japanese culture in general. KyoAni is still one of my favorites. This is entirely too sad.
May the f*cked who did this…

“Unless you’ve got the world’s most powerful ad blocker, you’re probably painfully aware that it’s Prime Day, a holiday that Amazon made up because it could”

Hey, class traitor, are you getting paid for defending Amazon on message boards, or just doing it for free?

I’m on the internet a fair bit and had no idea that there was a strike on Prime Day, so thanks for reporting on this!
