Maybe you should use Google when you encounter words you don’t understand.

Using ableism to explain racism sure is interesting.

How on Earth do you know what the intent “obviously” was? You’re assuming simply on the basis that he’s a comedian. Even though he wasn’t “on the job” at the time. It’s actually possible he was just a jerk. I don’t know why that idea seems to be so, well, offensive to you. I think the person *who was there* is…

Does everything in the goddamn world have to be “fun”? Might *that* not be a bit insensitive to people going through the extremely unfun experience of *having cancer*? JFC.

“Unless you believe David Cross to hate Asians, the fact that he is a comedian should lead you to believe that he probably isn’t serious.” No? That isn’t how that works? Someone’s job doesn’t actually give them a pass to do whatever they do at their job all the time? It’s entirely fair to believe that someone’s…

Dude, just because you’re a comedian doesn’t mean you can act like that in real life. Satire needs to have a *context.* “David Cross, the actual David Cross, acts like this and meant everything” Why would that actually be unbelievable...? Is it somehow IMPOSSIBLE to be a comedian and also a racist asshole?

Nonbinary and intersex are two different things, although some people, such as the writer giabread linked, are both.

“The brand frankenstein-ed the special avocado by analyzing 32 different varieties in six different countries.” No, they didn’t. They analyzed 32 different varieties in six different countries and slapped a label on some that happened to be naturally lower in fat. Did you actually read the press release you’re…

Thank you! Did no one read the original article and notice?

Oh my GOD, thank you for proving my point, dude. Cheers.

I have no idea why you’re so thick on this and why you think the problem is that *I* just don’t understand YOU. Maybe I need to spell out that *economic growth leads to fewer children dying*? Maybe that’s why you’re not getting that economic growth comes FIRST?

I understand the stages JUST FINE. What YOU don’t seem to be getting is that infant mortality has to fall FIRST. You do realize that Maron’s comments were made as an excuse for not offering aid on the reasoning that it won’t help anyway, right? Which is not only inaccurate, but treats keeping children alive as if it…

Wow, do you have ANY idea how to talk to people without being condescending?

You’re contradicting your own point here, but OK. You are *absolutely* saying that fewer babies leads to economic growth, at the same time you’re admitting it doesn’t. *Lowering infant mortality* doesn’t seem to have entered into the equation for you. You’re just treating “children who don’t make it” as an…

“What Macron said is absolutely right. Look at any prosperous, developed nation, and you find that as they progress economically, birth rates fall to levels that lead to neutral or slightly positive population growth (Japan being a rate exception).” You’re making the wrong assumption about which causes which, though.…

You can yell all you want about how I don’t understand “civilization,” but it doesn’t change the fact that you have the stages BACKWARDS. People will have fewer children once child mortality falls. This has been true in every part of the world. Africa is not unique, and neither is Europe.

THANK YOU.

“No stupid.” Whoa, great argument! :O Now go read a book about the history of eugenics in “international development,” you chucklehead.

“it is like you don’t grasp how civilizations function.” Because I think it’s gross to tell people to have fewer children when you KNOW they have more because their children are dying, while doing nothing about the mortality problem? OK. Maybe you can figure out how mortality works and then get back to me. Or just…

As I JUST SAID, “significantly better than Trump” MEANS NOTHING. JFC. Can you grasp the concept of two people sharing a negative trait in common without being “just as bad”?Trump isn’t as bad as Hitler. That doesn’t make all comparisons between them invalid.
