I thought the Smurfs were communisms, not Confederates? Does this mean that the Smurfs are pro-slavery?

And no, no matter how much you put the stars and bars on them, it#s impossible to make a smurf look intimadating or bad rear end.

Feeding the homeless is exactly the same as feeding wild beasts. At first, you might feel virtuous about giving bread to a few stray mammals. But, soon, your good intentions have resulted in the arrival of hundreds of additional creatures – all making GBS threads and squawking for a handout. When you finally run out of food, the animals will always start to attack you. Just as you don’t feed wildlife in the wildness, you don’t feed hominids in the metropolis.

There is no government program that could ever eliminate privation. There is no scheme to redistribute wealth that would ever succeed. There is no welfare plan would ever work. No politician is going to craft a piece of legislation that would do the trick

But me – I got this solution to poverty. Absolutely certain to be effective. Guaranteed to eliminate the problem 100% of the time. Want to know what it is?

Let the poor starve. Let the fuckers die.

If you can’t eliminate the ailment, you can eradicate the source of the disease. The answer is to let nature take its course.

This isn't IoSM but IIRL, but I went to get a haircut today, and the guy ahead of me was rambling to the barber about Target's bathroom policy. The gist was that he didn't think people who were born gay or people who feel like they were born with the wrong genitals are bad people at all, but it's "about as normal as someone being born with one arm. It's not their fault they were born that way, but it's not 'normal', and no one's going on TV saying we should get one arm cut off to be more like them." He wrapped up with, "so if we're saying we have doctors and scientists working towards preventing birth defects, maybe we can also stop people from being born gay or confused."

Always wondered how people with strong bigoted beliefs feel about being on the wrong side of history decades down the line.
Like right now they think they are right to stand up to those "filthy perverts" and such, but then I begin to wonder how people who thought that pesky Rosa Parks should have just shut her trap and moved to the back of the bus must feel now. In 10 or so years from now when no-one really gives a flying gently caress about transgender people peeing where they want to, will the people posting such stupid poo poo be self-aware enough to say to themselves "jeez, I really got that all wrong"?

I do know a guy with an honest to god disorder of some kind, for some reason his sweat smells loving horrible. He showers several times a day but the moment he starts to sweat you can smell him from across the room. If he's in a car and sweats on the seat the smell lingers for hours unless you drive for a while with the windows down. Antiperspirant helps to a degree but if he just puts deodorant or body spray on they're easily overpowered by his intensely rank stench. You can imagine the professional and social difficulties he's had because of that.

My favourite is in Warcraft all the male orcs are eight foot monstrous beasts and the girls look like human women with poor dentistry and big boobs. It's worse than the Bioware stuff because they're such a difference between the male and female design.

Your mistake here is assuming the beliefs are rational and consistent. They like hunters and trainers and birdwatchers etc. because those are familiar and traditional.

The basic criteria are:
Is it different from what we're used to?
Does it involve anything taboo, like sexuality, mention of the supernatural (other than miracles from God), mention of evolution, etc?

Fundamentalist Evangelical types pretty much just want the world to stop changing at their childhood, because unfamiliar things make them nervous. There's some wiggle room allowed if a thing is explicitly about Jesus, but you'll still find a lot of people who think it's the devil trying to sneak in with a trojan horse. (See: arguments against modern-style Christian music, which I think was at least one Chick tract.)

But at the end of the day, they are still treating women like garbage. They are doing nothing to improve the system they live in, or help women in any capacity. They act like victims while focusing their anger on a group that doesn't need more anger against them.

Man, really makes you loving think.

About how stupid people are to consider those valid arguments.

I always find it frightening how alt-right imgur is turning since it always makes me wonder if that just means that imgur is attractive to a certain alt-right inclined part of the internet, if the internet in general falls on that side of the spectrum or if those people are just more zealous in pushing their loving poo poo in other people's faces.

The acceleration of echo chambers is the worst.

(Although I love that once more these fuckers say freedom of speech is not freedom from speech even though they are as censorship happy as one can be. Also I finally got to see my browser extension replacing PC with "treating people with respect" working, which makes me p happy.)

You would be surprised at the poo poo people buy into regarding their subculture. See "Christians are the most persecuted group in the US" for a more broad example. For a local one, I work in a building where one of the employees believes that motorcycle enthusiasts are "the only group you can legally commit a hate crime(?) against or legally(?) victim blame."

They hate anything LGBT. What does this have to do with living without women? WHO KNOWS~

I assume it's just a case of the notgays. No, we don't want women but we're not gay because we don't allow gays that means we're not gay. No homo.

Some context. My old roommate has really really really really gotten into MRA poo poo (as well as 9/11 truther stuff, conspiracy stuff, right wing stuff, why black people deserved to be ignored/shot stuff, Sasquatch stuff) and used to spend a lot of his time in his room watching youtube videos, and then coming out to talk to me about this videos he just watched. By talk I mean he would come outside and rant and rave for about 40 minutes straight about how women are destroying the world and try make men slaves or something like that. Then he would shout at me for not listening to him/talking to him, and go on another rant wondering why I wouldn't talk to him.
Anyway, he moved to another country this year and I thought doing that would mellow him out. He never used to post his views on Facebook, mostly worried that his mom, girlfriend, other friends, people in general, would see what he believed in and call him out on his poo poo (I once posted an article in argument to one of his theories on his Facebook wall and he flipped a chair while shouting that his mother could have seen it), but yesterday another friend posted some article about rape culture. There was much lively discussion about it and then my old roommate decided to get in on there and tell us why men have it so bad because women are violent and mean. His replies were paragraphs upon paragraphs. Sadly he deleted all his replies about an hour later (probably didn't want anyone to see what he wrote), but Facebook for some reason did she me that he commented on the article and I managed to get a screen cap before the reply was deleted.



Old roommate is red of course, and person he was talking to was blue (funnily enough blue is a woman making the last sentence particularly bad).

I guess if you want to create a new business on Facebook it's easier to just buy a page that has a buncha likes instead of starting at 0. Surely of you have a couple thousand likes your business has to be a well established and trustworthy one.

So you buy a big ol' titty page, strip it on the titties and make it into a business page. Most people will probably never unlike, because who ever goes back to a a page he liked?

Opening myself up to criticism here, which I'll welcome. What is the problem with Simon using that word? Does it legitimize its use in demeaning black people? Is it making fun of the way they speak?
