Eagerly awaiting Brits posting rants about Thatcher's death :allears: I only got a few posts about it, but it was either "Glad she's dead!" or "She was great!" No middle ground is allowed I guess.

Okay I ask honestly, what am I missing here? It's two pictures, of the same woman, one being skewed but still clearly the same original picture. What are they trying to say? I'm not from the US so Sandy Hook has mainly just been 'another tragic school shooting' in my mind. I feel like I'm missing something terribly important here.

And to contribute, my only American friend just shared:

She is pro 2A and I agree with the amendment and all, but it honestly feels like a gut-punch she would re-post that. It's so polarized, all I could comment with was 'really?'

This the point that needs to be made every time someone makes the "THEY MAKE MORE MONEY IF THEY DON'T CURE IT" argument.

Cancer will happen, even if we do have a cure. They can then sell that cure. And they will sell it by the truckload, because as it turns out, cancer isn't much fun. So they have a captive market. If a company manages to monopolize the cancer cure market with a cure that actually works, they will make UN-loving-TOLD amounts of money.


So, basically, I've just proved that "A cure for cancer is a good thing for everyone." I shouldn't have to explain this, internet. :negative:

Uhm, excuse me, but you don't have a source for this "fact." Please provide an obscure website.

It seems win-win.

They're not women, they're "females" taking over THEIR word. And they only date douchebags anyway (douchebag gamers/nerds I guess? I can't follow the logic any more.)

It's kind of sad for me to see a friend become baby-obsessed. She wasn't a close friend of mine, but she was on the course to get a job after being unemployed for a while, and then she meets an apparently known scumbag. 6 months later they're engaged, first kid on the way, work status changed to 'MUMMY AND PROUD OF IT' and a lot of passive aggressive statuses. 1 year later, a new kid. I mean, I hope she's happy and all, and hope the children grow up in a good home, but it just looks strange from the outside. I unfriended a bunch of people a while ago, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're working on a third one.

Oddly enough, I know of three welsh couples, including her, and they are all having 3+ kids. What is going on down there?!

I'm just glad that I live in the UK and virtually no-one gives a poo poo about what happens over the pond anyway. In fact, with so many dull updates which consist of "OMG SUMMER IS HERE," "I'm sat in my garden, have an instagram of a half eaten ice cream" and "[picture of temperature reading on car dashboard] bit warm out, heh heh" I'd love to have some overtly racist Zimmerman updates just so I can laugh at something!

I have a lot of UK friends, and they do exactly this, especially the dash board reading. Yeah, your car will get hot while parked at your workplace. Snow also falls in the winter.

Granted, I make an update or two if I'm having a particularly great day because I don't have a lot of those, so maybe I'm part of the problem :ohdear:

People use 'dope' to refer to a number of different illegal drugs, heroin included.

Dope has always been heroin to me. But I see it used for both all the time, depending on context. Could apparently also be a slang for ammo, as per Black Hawk Down, though I don't know if that's a real thing. "You might as well take dope and beer instead [of night goggles]." - "?" - "Ammo, dude. Take ammo."

Why the gently caress is he so invested in making the swastika socially acceptable to use again? It never will be. As that guy pointed out, it's still used today by neo-nazis, it didn't just stop when Nazi Germany fell.

"Science" isn't an analogue to religion, I so hate that comparison. I follow "Science is awesome" on Facebook, but that's just to see neat things. What hurts everyone are the loudmouth fanatics that can't loving shut up and accept that whoever they're arguing has a different view of things than them.

EDIT: So here's a thing I guess. I have one American friend, and they share the dumbest things sometimes. drat that Obama for shutting down everything.

Non-insane muslims and communities never speak out and condemn terrorist attacks and fanatic murders. Nope, never.
Links picked at random, but come the gently caress on. Every time there's an attack made in the name of Islam, there's a scramble to condemn the acts. Not that it has an effect on the people equating over a billion muslims to terrorists.

In my school from grades 1-6 or so, we assembled in the hall to sing random songs out of a book we all got handed out. It was boring as poo poo, and most just mumbled along. No hymns that I can recall, but it was a bit odd thinking back. We all hoped for the ones with the least verses.

From my Euro/UK centric point of view, it seems perfectly fine to refer to someone as 'they', it doesn't have to be plural at all. And while anecdotal, the one gender-queer person I know prefer 'they' so take that as you may. It's just an easy catch-all.
