 "pfff well I guess if you don't post this you are heartless and pro child abuse, and by posting this I have a huge part in ensuring that people know that child abuse exists, and that I, a special snowflake in the 50% who will pass this on, am against that sort of thing, and have heart" and all this from a parent who smacks her autistic kid

Being round, it'd also tend to turn as soon as an asymmetrical force (Say from a sail, a paddle or a propeller) is applied. They'd be drat stable if the center of gravity wasn't so high on account of the passenger sitting so far up.

That is definitely what happens in the prose framing story that was wrapped around the original "Job poem," which was almost certainly translated from another language and was not about a guy called Job, or about anything good happening to anyone. ...Which kinda makes it one of the early social network forwards. "This is just incredible! A real miracle! Read through to the end, and remember to enscribe a copy to all your tribesman!"

I got a "what liberals think conservatives eat for breakfast" image on my feed with a picture of a giant plate of bacon and a gun with 4 reasons why it's wrong. Facebook needs an option to detect whenever an image has teaparty/ARE GUNS/libertarian stuff in it and hide it from your feed. If they can have a way to detect faces of people then surely they can code something to detect this kind of crap.

This is funny because I've had the fortune of reading the opposite elsewhere: Beyonce and Jay-Z demonstrated that being in a monogamous relationship is pretty swell and that sexually healthy marriages should be promoted more often. But you know, it's better to pretend sex doesn't exist at all, especially around girls because if a woman publicly admits to liking it, it can only mean she likes sex with EVERYONE.

Sex is simply a necessary evil on the way to God's ultimate gift: BABIES! I kid, but I have seen people talk about sex with their spouse as basically a total waste of time (and sperm  ) if they weren't ovulating at the time or just didn't get pregnant from it. Serious disappointment like "Dammit I had sex with my husband and there wasn't any point to it! Better luck next month." And unfortunately it does get drilled into some girls heads that sex is for babies and liking it means you're a horrible slut who probably uses monthly abortions for birth control.

My new favorite part of any awards ceremonies ever are the people who clearly have to try really loving hard to justify their hatred. Predictably, the Daft Punk thread provided more of that to me.

Not even the KLF were accused of that, even after firing automatic weapons over the crowd's heads: quote:On 12 February 1992, The KLF and crust punk group Extreme Noise Terror performed a live version of "3 a.m. Eternal" at the BRIT Awards, the British Phonographic Industry's annual awards show; a "violently antagonistic performance" in front of "a stunned music-business audience".[44] Drummond and Cauty had planned to throw buckets of sheep's blood over the audience, but were prevented from doing so due to opposition from BBC lawyers[45][46] and "hardcore vegans" Extreme Noise Terror.[34][47] The performance was instead garnished by a limping, kilted, cigar-chomping Drummond firing blanks from an automatic weapon over the heads of the crowd. As the band left the stage, The KLF's promoter and narrator Scott Piering announced over the PA system that "The KLF have now left the music business". Later in the evening the band dumped a dead sheep with the message "I died for ewe—bon appetit" tied around its waist at the entrance to one of the post-ceremony parties.[47]

poo poo, I don't even know where to post this. P/C is closed once again ( ) so I can't go stick it there. It came through on social media, and it goes from informative to idiotic at 88 miles per hour.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mII9NZ8MMVMThis was posted by someone who I regarded as at least intelligently conservative. I'd have never in my life pegged him to give conspiracy theory the time of day, let alone start pointing fingers at the Rothschilds. The first 7 minutes are actually alright, and not too terrible primer (if somewhat lacking in detail) about the dangers of spending beyond your means, the idea that money is a medium of exchange, and how banks make money. Then you get another 21 minutes of solid loving tinfoil.It's kinda lovely content wise, since it was a shared Youtube link, but god drat, I don't know where else to put it, and I need to get it off my chest. I also think I may now have aluminium poisoning.

There is a friend of a friend on facebook who is basically the last person who should talk about how women are treated in society. Sometimes he just has to let his opinions be known.  What the hell is he even trying to say? Why can't he be clear and concise with his bad opinions on blog articles about how women shouldn't worry about looks because guys just want to gently caress them and that women are hurting men by worrying about their looks and

I'd post it but 1. I don't interact with him ever and would prefer not to start now, especially on a friend's status and 2. When the incident was first mentioned to me through facebook's messenger, I immediately called him out on being a rapist and he was all "no no you misunderstand, I had to have sex with her because if I didn't then she was going to tell the dorm that I raped her. The next morning she was in shock and crying but when she apologized I accepted and she later married a black guy." Dude is crazy deluded and creepy so I don't even associate with him. Calling him out wouldn't accomplish anything. I'd post the original quotes but I doubt private facebook messenger counts.

His current girlfriend already knows and doesn't consider it rape and my girlfriend knows, considers it rape, and avoids him, I know and called him out on it and then cut contact because he disgusts me, and I don't think any good would come from just blurting it out at random that he did it some odd years ago. Not much else I can do that wouldn't result in him getting to play victim over how I'm "misunderstanding" him. I think it's better to just not associate with him and do what I've been doing already (telling people in private so they keep safe without it being presented as ad hominem facebook attacks) edit: For the record this was what he said that made me think he was a rapist and got me to tell the appropriate I figured should know, like his current girlfriend and my girlfriend since they're the only two women that aren't his mom that he has ever been around. Thankfully my girlfriend has never been around him by herself and ever since she found out about the rape she refuses to be in a situation where he could take advantage of her. She stays safe thank goodness. facebook conversation posted:Him: Anyway, the 2nd sexual experience was me being a nice guy, letting a girl chill out and sleep in my bed, and was forced into it b/c she was horny, and possibly drunk.

I think we've reached a point where posting that reply would be purely for our entertainment, not because it's necessarily the right thing to do. I like a good shitstorm as much as the next guy, but I'm not entirely comfortable where this conversation is going. FirstAidKite knows the situation, trust his judgement to do the right thing.
