Roma (“gypsies”) are not Romanian. 

This is how JK Rowling chooses people to march with.

First of all, there are literally ten thousand times as many Sikhs in the US as there are Scientologists, and with respect to American Sikhs, they’re not what I would call “popular”. Secondly, I don’t understand how people don’t get that Scientology goes out of it’s way to treat Cruise special in keeping him away from…

The furries don’t need to rise, they won before they were born, they were made furries by the cultural saturation of anthropomorphic animals.

There’s a difference between improv and “I had to tell the writers I wasn’t doing any of the dumb shit they wrote”.

I understand accusing everyone you don’t like of having a personality disorder is cathartic, but if you want to relieve stress through ableism, maybe just call them the R-word? it’s less work.

“I can’t believe conservatives hates queer people more than they love large corporations.”

It reminds me of the saying that unions are corrupt as hell, but they’re corrupt in your favor. At least for right now, that’s Disney.

I’m not the OP and in the abstract I have a very positive opinion of Kotaku being politically conscious, but as someone who, personally, really struggles with ignoring politics because of the anxiety it gives me, it does give me a lot of grief. And yes, I’ve tried other places. I just love Kotaku, the layout, the tone…

I don’t care for entertaining the idea that Disney World would or could move somewhere else even as a hypothetical, but they’d be providing the exact same economic benefits to a bunch of other people in that case. Under capitalism, it’s lateral ethics.

Rationally, I know you’re right. I think my issue is that so many big houses in my area tend to be McMansions that the aesthetic was drilled into my head as the definition of luxury housing. They aren’t, of course, it’s just that looking at them I can’t help but get a pang of melancholy because for the first two…

I’ve always been poor as dirt so as a child grew up in wonder and amazement of what people call “McMansions”. I’m actually starting to wonder if I should start getting angry at people who deride them, because I simply can’t imagine being in a position where I can judge a big fancy house as being inferior to another…

If some places don’t have bicycle lanes I guess the people there will just have to stop cycling until it gets done, then.

So should we have metal studs lining the sidewalk?

You’re wrong. Truth is an absolute defense against slander. All she had to do was show everyone the Goddamn texts. If that somehow weren’t enough, the penalty for recording a conversation without the other party’s permission for the first time in Florida is only a thousand dollar fine, so if she picked the juciest…

You must be responding to the wrong person, because I was pointing out everything she did was completely pointless if the goal was RPing his child rape fantasies for the sake of providing evidence in court.

She could have released it to news outlets. There’s clearly more than enough that it would have tanked his career and kept him from getting more targets, and then the hubbub would have one hundred percent for sure made it certain he was investigated more closely too. But it’s also weird that she kept actively playing…

And yet, as the article notes, all that she gathered apparently didn’t have any effect whatsoever on if he was convicted.

“I went along with his elaborate child rape fantasies for several years, and didn’t do anything when he straight-up told me he procured child prostitutes, because I was totally going to turn it all over to the police. Eventually.”

The reference to the One Drop Rule was sarcasm in response to the idea that someone who’s half-white counts as white, pointing to a demonstration of that being historically untrue.
