“In defending his position, he wants to be above criticism” — logical fallacy. He doesn’t agree with the criticism. That is not the same as claiming to be above it, or, trying to silence it. The subtext to this thread is silencing: white people shouldn’t be writing or getting published if their subject matter has the…

What does it feel like being one of the few people left who can suss out subtext?
“The author infers that there is no reason for all these crazy names...” Implies, not infers.
Yes, I mean, he definitely doesn’t know these things; how could he? But you do!
Yes, clearly the writer is “pissed at the wide variety of Chinese foods available.” This is reading comprehension 101.
Have they run out of states yet?
If they haven’t, we’ve reason to fret.
Long ago, there were just colonies.
(Long ago, we were part of these.)
But then the United States Came our way,
In 1812 we had a fray.
Victory was the song that we sung,
Though later an alliance would be wrung.
Eventually, Bush II led the group.
An Afghan…
No but seriously how about expecting readers to approach texts with more intelligence and skepticism instead of asking writers to dumb themselves down to readers who can’t understand simple literary concepts like irony and the distance between the author and the speaker?
Trillin’s whole jam is writing “humorously” bad doggerel. One day, when I’ve done enough respectability shucking and jiving to transcend this negrohood of mine and become a stately old white dude, my only hope is that, like Calvin here, I can gain renown and respect by being fucking terrible at my job on purpose.
Like most sixth graders, the author of this report fails to consider that the author and speaker are not necessarily the same person and that the author might be using the poem to critique the speaker’s perspective.
Friend Adam Pash already.
I bet you believe everything the logarithm-industrial-complex feeds you.
I worked in the production and packaging part of the company, not in research but I still heard a lot through the grapevine.
You are wrong. So very wrong. These vaccines were invented because measles CANNOT be dealt with "very effectively" with anything you pretend it can be. That's why they were invented, you blithering moron bastard liar. Vaccinate your children.
Yeah, I mean their stance does literally amount to, "I'd rather risk my own child (and possibly someone else's children as well) dying rather than risk my child turning out autistic." The supreme irony is that vaccinations protect against some viruses that can cause autism-spectrum disorders as a complication in…
what do you mean they're not real? They have all the koalfications!
Partly, but I think it depends on how you define the assignment as being "work." In this scenario, men probably would have to spend more time literally shaving — at least at first, in large part because many normally do not, they're not used to it, and they're probably not good at it in comparison.
I cum on my girlfriend's face because it's hot. I'm not marking my territory. I have no difficulty differentiating her bodily autonomy and agency as a person from my desire to cum on her.
There isn't anything inherently degrading about those things. Perceiving them as degrading and finding that hot from the…
I was joking about rainbow parties! :D
I used to wait tables. I won't again.
