I just made the same mistake of giving an honest answer to “thaQueenIsHere.” That insane pomegranate margarita story raised every red flag and I went back and read all “her” comments - This is some racist Brietbart reader (I’m just gonna call him “Frank” from now on) posing as a stereotype or a Russian troll-jockey…

Fuck no they’re not.

If you are a visible minority, you are a visible minority all the time - I am not on your team (we may have grown up in the same areas and our political/societal views may align, but we obviously have not lived remotely the same experience).

Not trusting someone you don’t know until you’re sure they’re not a white preferentialist is not treating them shitty, sorry you’re not automatically being handed something you feel entitled to. This country just followed up a great black president with a racist white game show host who won on the back of the people…

It is functionally impossible to be racist to white people in America. I have a 100% caucasian mother and she would slap the Norse out of my face if I ever said something dumb enough as “that’s racist to white people.” American Whiteness is a fictional power construct meant to protect privilege — not a real race with…

Is poison ivy real? Christ I need to leave the Northeast and find wherever this is an actual question one poses.

“Thug” is appropriate for thuggery, but don’t puff up the slugs who don’t even have the racist balls to be thugs, they just enable the thugs to do what they pretend to condemn. Fucking slugs.

“Mental illness” is like the word “glitch” - a noun with no specific definition used strictly when there’s a nuanced system failure one is too lazy to examine.

If there’s really no motive (which, this happened like a minute ago, if there is a motive and it’s well-buried it’s reasonable to expect it’ll take the week to suss it out) then this dude has gotta be a full on American Psycho sociopath, which should never be reduced to something as commonplace as “mental illness.”…

YUP. I highly discourage anyone from engaging that debate, its existence only serves to validate deeply racist people who are as deeply convinced their lives are White Jesus’ gift to the world (the world he’s going to destroy in a couple decades anyway or something). 100% of the people concerned about so-called “black…

Bayless should have matched him and pulled out a clove, the equally official nicotine delivery system of white children* like Skip 

*It’s not ecigs anymore, anecdotally I feel like every cubicle-working woman of refined age who smokes has taken to secret vape pens in the Bic mug.

Ah, understood. I just thought of the grave thing as an addition to a theme park, but I don’t have the same instinctual feelings about memorials and graves as the average person (we don’t have funerals or graves in my family, I suppose I have to remind myself how much that stuff can matter symbolically to people who…

Wait, I hear people’s frustrations with painting his legacy as black and white/binary good or bad. The guy’s “morality” was absolutely as gray as his pubes - but what about Jerry-Neitherland’s post disgusted you in regards to Hef? Do you hate film preservation? Hollywood tourist destinations? Philanthropic giving by…

It’s Friday and I love this post so I made a list of everything I can think of that’s good or well-liked enough to arguably be an objective “best” of its medium — and is thus beloved by jagoffs who are fans of like two other things, and cite that limited perspective and the art itself as proof of their cultural (or…

And to read about engineering and news that relates to engineering.

...because it’s been like 20 years since DS9 and TNG and they’re still better than everything on Netflix?

It’s remarkably easy to have a fantasy auction show without being insensitive, don’t carry water for ESPN on this.

The pro-racism party controls the White House, both houses of congress, almost every state legislature and the majority of Governors’ mansions. White racists still have the ability to control access to credit, hiring and firing and enjoy a significant buying/culture power.

The result of the war is unchangeable (from a…

“It seems like people on the left internalize the negative propaganda and start couching anything positive they have to say...”

This is “the money you make is relative to the money your competition makes” thinking on behalf of big pharma. They can’t stop legal pot, they probably can’t even generationally delay it anymore, so they’re negotiating with their loss to make an early strike against the small business opportunities presented by…
