The idea is dumb as well.

I agree. It's not a new or novel idea. I mean hell I can agree with the idea that the proliferation of social media and the ubiquitousness of smart phones has moved society in some negative ways (though I'd argue the good outweighs the bad).

But these drawings just aren't saying anything insightful about it. You might as well have photoshopped the people with phones to look like zombies or put spirals in their eyes.

To be slightly fair to the selfish shitheels of the world, in America people usually treat you like you're a weird creep, like they think you're a secret serial killer or something, if you try to be nice and considerate.

Where do you live? Maybe you are a creep because goddamn.

These Star Wars racists are especially funny since Force Awakens keeps the Star Wars status quo of only one black guy and one female under 50 existing at time in the universe.

Honestly as a white guy I find it embarrassing how few main characters in movies aren't white dudes, so I just don't get these teats crying about the one movie were the main guys aren't white dudes.

Not really. I mean outside of the main trio and the villain you don't have any other main characters aside from the returned characters. What I did notice is they put a lot more women and people of color as background troops for both sides.

The duct tape challenge is to have someone tape you up with duct tape, usually to a chair, like a hostage in a movie and try and escape.

He did it standing up and as he was struggling he fell over and bashed his head in on the side of a table.

The amount of people that are vocal about wanting children to be spanked on Facebook is horrifying. :gonk:

Is it really? I'm firmly opposed to spanking but it was pretty standard practice in the US up until very recently. It's gonna take time to filter out.

It's horrifying because its bad for children in every single conceivable way, and there isn't a single peer reviewed study that supports spanking.

The only reason it sticks around is because people are idiots and refuse to listen to experts.

I really cannot wait until the next generation finds out something we do we see as innocuous is actually, legitimately bad so we can experience it.

I know this is a few pages back but the LGBT communities are, by large, only catering to white cis gay men or gold star lesbian types. Almost any sexual minority outside of either gay or lesbian get ignored, shunned or told that they don't belong (like bisexuals, holy poo poo does everyone randomly hate bisexuals). Hell, even Pride Toronto has decided that Black Lives Matter should be leading the Pride parade this year because apparently police brutality against minorities has more in common with LGBT than not having financial sponsors that have super anti-trans policies.

I feel like a lot of the anti-T sentiment comes from the old guard who was so scared of Trans people loving up their movement because it was going "too far". A lot of the younger people I know are fine with trans. I can't speak to Bi but I don't have that personal experience.

Where he admits he has an eating disorder stemming from a shitload of abuse in his childhood from his mother who did poo poo like trying to gouge his eye out? I'm pretty sure he's really open about how his health (physical and mental) is hosed, so I have no idea why they'd choose to photoshop him in.

Its probably just my own personal over-exposure, but I feel like there's a huge uptick in TV ads that feature really creepily overprotective fathers as if its a virtue, too.

I can't remember when it wasn't a thing honestly, a staple of sitcoms for decades has been the overprotective father who interrogates any boy her daughter brings home.
