I decided to post and see if we can get to the real heart of this issue.



You know I vaguely remember a terrible made for tv movie about Waco. The only thing about it that lingers in my memory are the harumph-y looks on the tv actor's faces as David Koresh kept taking their wives and daughters to his love chambers. As if to say "look I know this is the one true cult and he's the chosen one but that CAN'T be right that he gets to have sex with all these women."

Why do so many teenagers say Czechoslovakia when referring to that country in the present? They aren't even old enough to remember it splitting. :psyduck:

Edit: My school is old as gently caress with abestos warnings all over the place so now it makes sense.

Ignoring the fact that it's the wrong location, I'm honestly surprised so many of them managed to spell Czechoslovakia correctly.

Edit: vv drat, I've never tweeted before and everything else I've seen from Twitter sure makes it seem like there's no spellcheck. So what's everyone else's excuse? :P

I'm more inclined to think slut shaming was why she was acquitted. I mean if we follow the same logic used by the jury, if a drug dealer kills a customer for not paying for coke or something, he has every right to get the money back.

e: It has to happen at night thought of course. This was legally only possible because it happened at night. Once the sun goes down in Texas it's legally much easier to kill someone.

If Texas had successfully seceded (say that 3 times fast) it'd be like that movie The Purge.

I'm surprised they don't just legalize prostitution so it can be regulated.

(Obviously they ignore the fact that nerds haven't been picked on in any sort of systematic way since, what, the 1980s, and that what they interpret as being maligned for being a nerd is actually just due to their own social inadequacies.)

Obviously the people bashing girls for pretending to be nerds (assuming that has ever happened) are ridiculous, but are you saying nerdy kids haven't been disproportionately bullied since the 80's? I don't have kids and honestly don't know if schools have just resolved that problem nowadays.

Aside from that I think you're probably right, but I imagine plenty of people posting this crap were in fact nerdy kids in the 80's so maybe this situation will resolve itself over time.

You all are blowing my mind with people calling you out on not being vegetarians when you never claimed to be. I eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like every day and I dig a lot of Morningstar products but no one ever "calls me out" when I get bison meatloaf in a restaurant or anything. It just sounds like there are a lot of jerks in your areas.

Seems a lot of the hate on either side comes from all this all-or-nothing labeling people do. If I was 90% vegetarian I wouldn't go around saying I was vegetarian then worry about people calling me out on it. I just eat less meat than you and you probably don't care how much meat I eat to begin with. If that "lesbian" wanted to have sex with boys now and then why couldn't she just tell everyone she was bisexual? Is that not edgy enough to blow her straight friend's minds or something? Yeesh.

The joke's on him because even if we were in prehistoric times he'd still be a loser and not the alpha male of any tribe. Also women having to resist sex to survive is totally legit because hey you ever seen an 8 month pregnant lady try to run from a saber-tooth tiger?

Her job, by the way, is a PR representative. Maintaining good relations with people is literally what she does for a living.

The #hasjustinelandedyet hastag was pretty amusing. For the sake of people not having to go look up info, she tweeted that right before getting on a 12 hour flight from England to South Africa so she had no internet while the entire internet was getting her fired. The funny thing is, being a PR person, her apology was issued directly to a South African newspaper and really well worded compared to all the celebrity apologies you tend to see after these things. She's obviously a twit but she seems like she's not bad at trying to sound sincere even when you're a disingenuous idiot, which is the crux of PR.

I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

It's a comedy, which means anything it does is okay, and it has no impact on society at all. Everything should be excused.

Maybe not quite this, but yeah it's a fictional comedy show about a police station. Every character on that show has their own gimmick and I don't know that the "nice guy" is any less behavior that people should see and imitate than all the other terrible behavior. People shouldn't imitate Beavis & Butthead or YouTube videos or anything they see on tv. If their complaint is that he shouldn't end up getting a girl and being happy then I'm fine with that, I like a little tragedy in my comedy, but Joe Lo Truglio has always been good at being a slightly crazy guy, so the solution isn't to make him not crazy.

Edit: vv yeah I did read the article after that comment but I'm not sure that anything has changed. The author just seems to want to do away with the pathetic rejected guy entirely from all sitcoms, which I don't see happening. She seems to single out Brooklyn 99 just because it's better in other respects, but I'm not sure why that means it should necessarily be held to a higher standard than any other. Unless she's actually right and there are more "nice guys" per capita today as a direct result of so many stalkers in sitcoms who eventually got the girl in the past 50 years of television. If someone actually does a study proving this then I guess I'd agree we should ban it from television, but like I said I'd be happy with just seeing him get poo poo on at the end of each season just so people don't think it's an acceptable behavior.

To clarify for those who don't watch the show though, unlike most shows where the stalker eventually ends up getting the girl he's after, this one doesn't. He ends up (and I say ends up because that's where it lays currently, for all we know it could just be setting him up for disappointment,) getting a completely different girl. I don't know how crazy nice guys will interpret that. Wouldn't that suggest there's no point obsessing over one girl because when you meet the right one you won't need to stalk her because she'll like you too?
