Uh oh, he "will protect you from goons." And I'm really creeped out by the "post you on the wall like a picture" thing and I'm not even sure what he's trying to say there. Is it like some sex thing or is he collecting human beings to pin them up like butterfly specimens? Both?

Palisader posted:I'm still considering it (I almost said something at the time that she posted it). Unfortunately she tends to be extremely argumentative, and is always right; I have never once won an argument with her even in situations where I was, you know, factually correct. But there's at least the chance that someone reading her feed would change their minds, I guess. There's no way you would win anyway. Every Arpaio-related argument I've ever seen kind of stalls because being appalled by his behavior first requires acknowledging that criminals (both accused and convicted) are human beings with basic rights. And that simply being arrested for a crime doesn't automatically mean being guilty.

Ratspeaker posted:"The FBI secret services/invisible government is in on it like every other terror attack in the past 10 years." So he doesn't think 9/11 was an inside job, or was that just a different group? He probably does think it was an inside job, he's just either lost track of how long it's actually been or he's using 10 as a general term since it's a nice round number that's pretty close to 12. I really can't imagine a nutjob who thinks the government is using a small pool of actors to hoax national tragedies wouldn't also believe 9/11 was "controlled demolition" or whatever. Soviet Commubot posted:I'm green and I think yellow wants to kill everyone on the planet, without descrimination "Terrorism is A-OK as long as it's by someone I can consider white." I'm not surprised really, but still.  (Not that I think that's what you believe Soviet Commubot, just the "logic" of that train of thought is mind-boggling to me).

RyuujinBlueZ posted:Yeah, it has to be some kind of commentary on the American version but I don't get what the point is. It isn't exactly true for America either, though maybe a bit more true than it is for Canada. The most I can figure it for is a jab at "America isn't the only country with these problems" but then it doesn't make that message at all obvious. It could be meant as a jab or some kind of satire, but it wouldn't surprise me if the person who posted this actually believed it to be true.

Blind Pineapple posted:Can someone tell me why people are still talking about the Newtown false flag vis a vis the Boston marathon? I thought the point of the Newtown false flag was for the government to take away everyone's guns, but the very same government struck down a relatively minor gun reform law just last week. What's happening with the internal logic there? A lot of these people are just suspicious of the U.S. government in general or outright anti-government. Everything bad is the government's fault, even if it's contradictory somehow. There isn't a whole lot of logic factoring in here. For example, I used to work in a sporting goods store right around the time of the Sandy Hook shooting. People freaked out and started buying up all our ammunition like crazy because "the government's going to ban are guns/ammo!!" Then when we couldn't keep it on the shelves because everyone was in a buying frenzy, they decided our store was always out of ammo stock because the government was buying it all up to keep it out of the public's hands. You know, not because whackjobs were hoarding it or anything.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Of course it doesn't matter that they weren't on welfare anywhere near the bombing and even if they were do they really think that there are dudes getting their checks and going 'oooh NOW I can build a bomb'? I think most people like this have no idea how most assistance programs work. So in their mind the government just sends out a huge check every month that they can just spend anywhere. They don't seem to realize that a lot of this stuff is loaded on to cards and is fairly strict about what you can and cannot spend it on. Which I'm sure is a point of pride, since THEY don't need no goddamn welfare so they don't need to understand it!!  Also that the government does not in fact have some big list on a supercomputer of those who are on assistance of some kind and on a terror watchlist.

Not so much that you're a bad person, but that you have to visualize what you want in order to get it. So basically make a wish and the universe will grant it if you wish enough.  Then again, I've also heard these same types say that you tend to attract the things you don't want because you have such strong feelings about them or something.

LoveMeDead posted:PKU isn't even a vaccination, it's a test. A very important test that saves lives. Besides the fact that kids are dying because of sheer idiocy, it frustrates me because the whole "vaccines cause autism" thing was a complete hoax by some scientist who falsified a bunch of data about it (for more funding I think?). The whole thing is literally based on a lie, but it's taken on this crazy life of its own. It's not exactly a secret either, I remember it being all over the news a few years ago but everyone just kind of shrugged, ignored it and let their kids keep dying of easily preventable diseases.

Yeah, there are genuinely nice guys who are just shy, don't put themselves out there enough, or maybe have some self-esteem issues. Usually decent human beings once you get to know them. And then there are the other Nice Guys who (to blatantly steal a joke I saw on the forums) view their female friends like vending machines: they're putting all these kindness coins in, so sex should be coming out!

I grew up in the 90s and I really don't get all the nostalgia for stuff like VCRs at all. Maybe because I clearly remember what a pain in the rear end VHS could be? God help you if you wanted to skip to a certain scene or if some bastard at the video store didn't rewind a 2+ hour movie.Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I'm surprised we don't have to deal with videophiles who insist that VCR tapes give a warmer picture than DVR'd content. It probably helps that pretty much anytime a movie or TV show has footage made to look like VHS-quality video it's usually something horrible like people dying in the woods or a dead girl crawling out of your TV or something. I think it's become visual shorthand for "whatever you're watching is going to be creepy!" Also what ElBrak said.

Like, it's literally just always a bunch of people going "UGH so yesterday I SAW A KID and I was like, ugh, gross, and the person I said it to didn't suck my dick for my bravery right there! I'm basically super oppressed." That or just people who legitimately can't grasp that the 'social pressure' they're feeling most likely is in their head. There can be some pressure there from people, but you're right in that usually it's usually just a minor annoyance more than anything. The rabid childfree people are really embarrassing by association if you're just a normal sane person who happens to not want children.

Segmentation Fault posted:I don't think it's against the law for management to take tips. From what I'm aware there's no real legislation on tips (beyond tips having to be taxed if you make beyond a certain point, which most people ignore anyway). However it's a real dick thing to do because when you leave a tip at the restaurant it's generally understood that the tip you leave is for the server. You're not exactly stealing, but you're taking advantage of your customer's assumption. It's actually a state by state thing and in some states, tips are legally considered the property of whomever they're given to. So in those places, yes it is illegal for management to take an employee's tips since generally tips are intended for the servers and not management. And although it sounds like it might not apply in this case, many states pay a much lower minimum wage to tipped employees with the assumption that it will even out with the minimum wage for all other employees via the money from tips. So if the employer is taking their tips and not compensating them somehow to bring them to the minimum wage that could be a problem legally speaking.

It could be an otherkin thing, but in my experience these misanthropic people usually think of themselves as somehow superior to all those other horrible humans out there. Which is why they feel like it's their place to judge the worthiness of the rest of the human race. Also the normal ones grow out of it once they stop being angsty 14 year olds. kirbysuperstar posted:
