Point. Also African Americans love being called blacks by woke people that defend them.

Oh yeah that’s the racist with tons of black friends and who’s dated black women and yet who is considered by woke white social justice warriors to be racist scum?  That guy?  Yeah, he and I actually would probably get along.  We don’t agree on many things, but we can also disagree respectfully, I would imagine.

Fantastic rebuttal.  I stand corrected.

Thank you. This is the other part to this whole it’s ridiculous business. As you point out, the people that tend to get offended at these things are not the people directly affected. And then they talk at others about privilege / appropriation. I, personally, would much appreciate, for things I find offensive, if…

Yeah I know it did. It is both true and irrelevant. And yes, people identify cocaine and Coke all the time. It’s just not viewed as offensive.

And besides, as the person in the grays said, Coca gd Cola is literally named after coke the drug and noone is angling to get that renamed.  Let’s have some perspective here.

Except that it doesn’t.  It is fully possible to think that it is a terrible problem and then turn around and make light of the fact that crack is addictive.  It is possible to do the latter without making light of those that are truly addicted and need help.  It is amazing that people can not separate the two.

Yup. People really need to chill with getting offended. If we stopped doing things that might offend someone we wouldn’t do anything. The name is not derogatory and it simply labels something as addictive. And guess what, crack is addictive. Just because it’s hurt (legitimately) lots of people doesn’t minimize that…

This is a BAD (yeah in caps) argument.  Because what happened is those productivity gains went to the executive compensation.  It isn’t that the work got diluted, it’s that corporations got better at extracting more for minimum pay in the name of equity return and executive comp.

For sure.  There just was a news story where ignoring an allergy literally killed a kid.

Oh come ON with this!  If they straight up insult you it’s a no-tip situation, not a bad-tip situation.  If you have to wait a long time yeah they deserve a lower tip.  Here’s the thing.  You’re tipping for service.  If a service is good, tip well.  If a service is bad - tip low.  The one exception is don’t take…

Yeah, well, except they checked and turns out that’s not what Biden had said.  His statement was qualified, and Castro was making it sound like it was absolute.  So in this case Biden’s brain was sharper than Castro’s.  Look, it’s totally fair to question Biden’s faculties, but when you attack him for something like…

Here’s the thing - you’re right.  But that only holds for that one person.  The illegality of it all applies to all.  So if you’re a schmuck who’s looking at this and saying “well I can do that” - nope.  Just this clown.

That’s not the case.  It’s a illegal if it’s against the law.  The consequences have to do with enforcing the law, which is a separate issue.  It’s like saying it’s legal to speed if you don’t get caught.  Nope.  Still illegal and if you get caught you will suffer the consequences.  

Setting aside the issue that he is not a great businessman and is a professional rich person instead, what relevance does business experience have to running a country?!  None, the answer is none.  A country is not a business, which is a huge source of all of his failures as well as those around him (e.g. Tillerson,…

I think they were talking outside corners, which you wouldn’t cope.  And I’m pretty sure inside corners are never mitered (if they are - that’s super amateurish).  

There should be no ranch and ALSO NO BUTTER in cacio e pepe.   Jesus.  That may be a fine pasta dish (it sounds nasty though), but it is not cacio e pepe at that point.

This is not an excuse, at all, it is however true that there are tons of people who claim to have gluten allergies who do not.  It’s a case of the boy that cried wolf.  Doesn’t make him any less of a dick, but there are a lot of aholes that falsely claim to have the allergy that give a very bad name to the minority…

What does that have to do with anything?! You don’t make investments because you have a lot of $$. You make investments because you expect those investments will make you $$.  Otherwise, it’s called charity.

Why can’t people be pro-women’s sports and still acknowledge that the real thing holding them back (where applicable) is because...women’s sports are NOT the representation of the top level of play.  Women’s soccer is fine, and USWNT is by far more successful than men’s, but the truth is that the product is…
