Besides, both sides have fascists on them. Fascists are just A Thing in that conflict, and Russia has been doing way more to accelerate the spread of fascism in Europe than Ukraine, both domestically and internationally. They're where our far-right parties get most of their money from, for a start.

What is the appeal of Maoism, anyway? I mostly hear it described as 'Marxism-Leninism with more focus on agriculture', but Mao was famously poo poo at agriculture.

I did some dog-walking for the local home a while back, and some of the pitbulls there were just goddamned adorable. See, the reason they have those weirdly-shaped faces is because they're designed not to let go of anything they bite down on, and their heads are pretty much all jaw muscle. There was this one bull terrier they had who was the sweetest, most gentle little guy you could imagine, but had to wear a muzzle whenever you took him out. He'd never attack people or other animals, see, but he had this habit of clamping onto trees, park benches, or railings, falling asleep, and not moving for hours. I was told by the staff about this one time he attached himself to a branch halfway up a tree and just hung there, peaceful as could be, until they bribed him down with biscuits.

The bigger issue is that according to the article, he basically had a child with his mother. Does the process by which this came about have any of the usual genetic risk of incest?

How do you accommodate the live audience, though? Projectiles seem like a giant, obvious no-no there. Also, jamming seems like it'd result in more boring fights.

Has anyone ever seen Clarkson out of character, though? When did he drop the mask and start expressing actual decent opinions? Certainly, a lot of the racism and general unpleasantness he's been pilloried for wasn't on-camera in front of a studio audience, and there seems to be little evidence that him taking a swing at a producer for serving him cold food was an elaborate publicity stunt. Sometimes, people really are the absurd, ghastly caricatures they seem to be. We're on Something Awful. We should know this.

Pissflaps posted:Are people who clap really 'shithead jerks'? It was requested as a way to make speech delivery more pleasant for people with mental-health disorders. Saying 'no, I want to make loud noises at you after you've politely asked me not to' is being an rear end in a top hat, yes. Saying 'if you can't handle clapping, don't show up' is missing the point. They presumably can handle loud noises like, they just find it unpleasant and are asking their audience to make their lives slightly easier, and if you don't do stuff like this, you run into the obvious Catch-22 of people with disabling problems with social interaction being unable to make their voices heard about their disabling problems with social interaction. I mean, the last thing we need right now is people with mental disabilities getting even more sidelined. I mean, what's even the point of clapping? It's to show your appreciation of a speaker and the point they're making. It's a favour you're granting them. If they don't like you clapping at them, why do it? The uproar ITT about a conference asking their audience to do something weird but polite and harmless for their speakers is baffling.

Look, guys, I literally just had to deal with trying to talk a family member out of suicide because he was expecting an autism diagnosis and is having difficulty reconciling himself to the fact that he probably has severe mental impairments reducing the chances of him ever having much of a social life (or a life in general, for that matter). So if you'll pardon me, I'm a little less charitable than I usually would be to a couple of pages of 'lol stupid over-sensitive mentally-ill people should just get over it'.
