Can we stop pretending second-hand smoke is an issue when smoking is banned indoors everywhere? People used to sit in smoke-filled rooms for hours on end, breathing in stale smoke. That's gross, and pretty obviously bad for you. If you think somebody walking down the street past you with a cigarette is giving you cancer you're just a moron and/or hypochondriac (e: or someone who is looking for something to feel morally superior about). I bet you conspicuously cough when you see a smoker 30 feet downwind of you. If you live somewhere where smoking isn't banned indoors, sorry about that; I hope you can make it out of Eastern Europe someday.

Guess we better ban cigarettes, then. After all, a parent's alcohol use has never harmed their children. Obviously smoking is bad for you and nobody should ever, ever do it (especially around kids), but the point about the stupidity and futility of prohibition stands. Sorry if it's stinky. People ITT are making the argument that because cigarettes are such a horrible burden on them as non-smokers, it's worth counteracting the CW on banning drugs. Their argument is as based in emotion as mine (which is pretty clearly highly emotional, as other smokers have stated above). Mellow Seas fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Feb 25, 2014 |

MisterBadIdea posted:That is common sense. If women got paid less for the same work they'd get hired more often than men. To be fair, proponents of equal pay often imply, if not assert, his interpretation when mentioning the 77% figure. I've seen 95% thrown around as the "pay for same work" gap, and for what it's worth women's unemployment is about 5% lower than men's.

Don't a lot of devout Muslims invoke God in a shitton of sentences that a westerner never would? So a sentence like that could sound absurd translated, but if you appreciate the more idiomatic meaning, which is just kind of a general regular affirmation of God's existence and power, it could be pretty normal battlefield chatter. In fact, I would guess the intended meaning was little different from "God drat it, they shot down our rocket." It could also very easily be stdh.txt

"48÷2(9+3)" isn't 288 or 2, it's just loving bad notation. It is literally impossible to say what the "correct" answer is. It's like trying to deduce meaning from the sentence "I hat through potato". Once you start using parentheses you have to use them to FULLY clarify the meaning. You can't just stop halfway, arbitrarily decide one interpretation is correct and laugh at anyone who gets it "wrong". And, as was mentioned above, nobody doing math seriously would ever use a division sign. Your friend doesn't understand math. That's fine, most people don't. e: Basically the thing is, yeah, ok, the order of operations is "FOIL", factor, over, increase, less, (that was how I was taught it in 9th grade). So if you use the idea that multiplication "comes before" division, sure, it's 2. But multiplication and division are the SAME THING. 48÷24 is just 48*(1/24). The idea of division and multiplication or addition and subtraction being in any way different from each other is a shorthand that was made up to make learning rudimentary functions easier for children. Maybe it would be better to teach fractions and negative numbers before division or subtraction. Mellow Seas fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Aug 2, 2014 |

Aeka 2.0 posted:I despise political bumper stickers, even ones that I agree with because I believe it cheapens the message and it makes the owner of the car look like a simple person. Today I saw one that got me angry. "Liberalism is a mental disorder." I saw one a few weeks ago that was even worse. I was behind him at a red light so I snapped a picture:  (blurry text transcription: REPUBLICAN: Because not everyone can be on welfare) I would be really, really surprised if the broken window wasn't related to the bumper sticker (well, more like "gigantic tailgate decal", I guess). I got a kick out of that. I guess blaming the owner of the pickup for the vandalism would be kind of victim-blaming, but I'm having a really hard time caring.

Centripetal Horse posted:If it is, the person who did it is ten times the rear end in a top hat the owner of the bumper sticker is. You should care, because it demeans the opposing message, proves all the stupid poo poo the truck owner and others like him already believe about the left, and serves no useful purpose. If we're interested in actually effecting change, rather than just sitting around telling each other how stupid the [opposing side] are, we should all care when some moron goes around reinforcing all the negative bullshit that is already such a monkey wrench in the political process. You may not care about the guy's truck, but you should care about the dickhead running around making it just that much harder for people on opposite sides of the political spectrum to see each other as human beings instead of straw men and stereotypes. Mmmm... nope. Sorry. Still don't care. I'm sure the truck owner really got off on all the anger he had opportunity to muster up at [minority x], so really it was a favor to him. e: I'm not trying to say I "approve of" the actions of the vandal (if he exists; I did not see how the window was broken) or that it's something I would do myself but I really, really feel zero percent bad for that master of the universe. We're not talking about a Bush-Cheney 04 sticker here. It's an open insult to half (well, over half, where I live) of the population.

"Shouldn't we try to increase the value of the dollar?" That's frigging called deflation and it's economic catastrophe. These are the dumb ideas people get when inundated in a lifetime of post-Carter inflation hysteria, where inflation is ALWAYS bad and ALWAYS out of control or about to be. So deflation must be good, right?

I like when people are like, oh, well, only 3% of workers make the federal minimum wage. Yeah, dipshit, that's because only like six red states are backwards enough to not have their own, higher minimum wages. If you live in a civilized place then you can't legally make the federal minimum wage. You can still get paid poo poo, though. I haven't seen an exact figure of how many people make less than $10.10 an hour, which would be far more relevant as far as Obama's proposals are concerned, but I guarantee you it's a hell of a lot loving higher.

I don't accept that rioting/looting is always bad. Yes, it's morally wrong in the abstract, but so is killing, and almost nobody is about to condemn war veterans for committing that sin. Black people rioted throughout the 1960s, all across the country. It wasn't all nice church-going folks in their Sunday best peacefully marching and getting the dogs set on them, like MLK-quoting historical revisionists would like you to believe. Black people hosed some poo poo up. When they stopped, poo poo stopped getting better for them, and started getting worse. If these riots weren't going on nobody (except goons and social justice-minded people) would even be talking about the Brown shooting, and there would have been far less coverage of police brutality and murder that has occurred since it happened. When I hear "stop rioting", I hear "just shut up and pretend everything's fine; let the system keep going the way it is." Nobody is being injured, and property is replaceable. Black lives are not. "The system" has proven itself to be very, very good at ignoring and quelling peaceful protest. It doesn't really know what the gently caress to do right now, does it?

Is there any way to tell which LL images are being shared the most and post those? We know this guy is just throwing poo poo at the wall to see what sticks, so it'd be interesting to know which ones of these are resonating most with the email forward set. I mean to some extent we can probably guess. I can guess that "Michael Brown is a thug" was a more popular theme than "cops murdered Eric Garner".

pacerhimself posted:I keep hearing that Obama said some very anti-Police remarks but whenever I read his statements about Michael Brown and Eric Garner, all he's saying is that he wishes communities and the police could work together to get over a perceived lack of trust. I don't know how he could choose his words more carefully, but I guess to the liars in the media he wanted cops to die. Obama could come out talking like Rudy Giuliani and they'd still say he was anti-cop. What Obama says doesn't have anything to do with what right wingers hear, and it hasn't since 2009.

That Gaffigan bit, as he performs it, is light hearted and implicitly self-deprecating. The message of it is "try not to judge people." I have no idea where they got a picture of Gaffigan looking angry, but I would guess that he was probably doing an angry "character" in a story, as personifying the thoughts of others with silly voices is like, his main schtick. Maybe he is a Republican; I don't really care, because he's funny and "it's ok to enjoy lovely things" is about as political as his shows ever get.

Technically you should teach boys and girls at different ages, because they hit puberty at different ages, and hormones actually mess up our handwriting. Generally when girls learn, it's after the influx of hormones from puberty, whereas boys learn beforehand and don't cope to it. Huh? I learned printing somewhere in the 5-8 range. Even if we lived in some bizarre world where kids don't learn to print until they're tweens, I have a hard time believing  would have any role whatsoever.

This is actually what I use climate change as. Like, not to judge individual people, but to confirm the overall bankruptcy of the conservative worldview.
