That’s not “basically” slaves! That’s slaves!

Right? I’m like oh wow nice a robot I wonder how she will participate in human rights abuses

So we can all agree that the edgelord bros constantly commenting about Harambe in the Cincinnati Zoo’s socials are the reason Trump got elected right

Oh yeah all those stairs and everything are both an accessibility nightmare and, apparently, just a jungle gym for unsupervised children to run around on, creating a shit ton of noise.

The story is that the “big balloons” thing is a line from Katy’s song “Happy Birthday,” so while I agree that it is kind of tasteless, it also has a pretty solid context and I personally don’t really find it actually offensive and think this is probably pretty low on the list of reasons why Ellen sucks.

I had a trans friend report basically the same thing, except they basically said that it showed them how easy it is to ignore those impulses and how men are trash and can do better.

Ellen’s Katy tweet is actually a line from Katy’s song “Happy Birthday,” which, in spite of its fucking terrible video, is actually a kind of classically bawdy fun song.

I was there this summer for the first time in a few years and yeah...I’m not mad about this. The hall is smelly, the carpets are stained to hell and back and it just looks like a dusty, forgotten corner. Even 20 years ago it looked like a crypt to me, and this is usually my favorite part of a museum. There are other…

The trailer was atmospheric and all but I’m still not really getting what the thrust of this show is supposed to be. Women are psychos and will hella kill people if there aren’t no mens around? Women are humans and will get animalistic if they need to? Only one of those seems like a good direction.

Maybe, but considering how much people tend to demand that politicians lie to them, I’d say this is a reap/sow situation and the problem lies with the electorate, not the politicians.

If I ever win Powerball I’m going to start an internet education initiative that’s designed exclusively to teach troll detection and response (the response class is one module and consists of “how to ride out the momentary desire to respond to a troll”)
I’m never going to win Powerball because I don’t spend money on…

A lot of these people CAN understand, they’re just being willfully obtuse to troll and get people to argue with them. So keeping them gray is the correct response.

“A dystopian future dating algorithm could flag users who are depressed or suffering from anxiety from their posts, likes or Tweets, and reject them.”

I am aware that this is a human quality. That is obvious enough that it doesn’t need to be said. I believe this to be a particularly prevalent issue with people of Bill’s generation, which is why I made the comment.

I personally have never had anything bad happen as a result of just not responding to a dude but I know my personal experience isn’t everyone’s. Not responding seems more effective than any “leave me the fuck alone” response but obviously there has to be some reason why that’s not true, right?

Every religion’s rules are basically: “if you want a good life, here’s what you do. don’t kill, don’t be a jerk, don’t lie or steal, try to moderate your desires and think before you act on your id.”

What is it with baby boomers and a seeming complete inability to accept responsibility for one’s personal choices? Blaming god is like peak baby boomer.

Is it weird that my secret work-related fantasy is to trick Bill O’Reilly into doing an interview about his corgi in which I get him to admit that he abuses her* and thereby rescue that poor pup from his evil clutches?

He hasn’t been silent, it’s just that no one gives a shit about Kevin Smith anymore. His response was surprisingly decent.

And his father! Mira + Max
