As a person with crippling self esteem issues, I hate the concept of selfies almost as much as I hate myself.

Also not all meat is exactly the same and can (or should) be prepared in different ways.

The humour of South Park is completely embroiled in normalising xenophobic, alt-right and libertarian values. The fact it subsists nowadays as a beloved American television show tells you everything you need to know about the average American public.

You should provide some examples of the show supporting these values, because I think you're full of poo poo. Also, please provide a definition of "alt-right" beyond just "people to the right of me".

Having this level of hatred for a website as stupid and useless and ultimately irrelevant as TV Tropes is incredibly unhealthy.

I blame the megathreads dedicated to sites like that where instead of making jokes about stupid people, goons made it into a competition over who could work up the biggest outrage over it. Something about gazing into the abyss or whatever.

"The truth is never in the middle" actually means "I'll never admit that I'm wrong" or "I'm completely unwilling to compromise".

They're divisions of the year, but so are months, and there's no reason we couldn't have more or fewer of either.

Changes in the weather happen because of the Earth's position. Seasons are just the names we give to arbitrary divisions of the year.

Seasons aren't arbitrary at all. They're based on the amount of sunlight. On the equinoxes, you get 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night. The summer solstice is the longest day, and the winter solstice is the longest night. This is true no matter where you are on the planet. And the weather changes mostly due to those seasonal differences (axial tilt), not Earth's position. The eccentricity of Earth's orbit isn't that significant.

anti-discrimination laws doesn't infringe on anything that's worth protecting. the equal treatment of people despite race, gender, religion and sexuality is not a slippery slope.

Agreed, and allowing business owners to discriminate based on race, religion, sexuality, etc is a slippery slope. People say that those businesses would lose out because everyone would boycott them, and they'd be correct for the short term, but after a few generations it would reach a "critical mass" where widespread discrimination becomes acceptable again.

Any game that holds your XP hostage via repetition of an entire sequence, most likely itself repeated several additional times, is poo poo.

That's a pretty bad way to look at it. Instead, you could realize that losing your souls isn't actually a big deal because you can just get more anyway, and you'll never have to worry about losing levels or gear. Or, you could realize that you shouldn't be carrying around large quantities of souls to lose in the first place. Maybe try approaching things from a different direction rather than proclaiming that it's poo poo.

The best one was when they served professional wine tasters the cheapest white wine they could fin with red food coloring in it put in a really fancy bottle with an intricate label and the wine tasters were like "mmmm really really good red wine. The best stuff!" That might be a bit of exaggeration but I remember reading about that too. Wine tasters had absolutely no god damned clue what they were talking about. There were incidences where they would say that a white wine with food coloring added was totally a red wine, we can tell by how it tastes!

I can understand cheap wine vs. expensive wine but I refuse to believe that anyone could confuse red and white.

I've never heard anyone use the term "nerd blackface" outside of goons complaining about people using that term. Besides, it's more like nerd Will and Grace.

It's also an inaccurate stereotype. While not exactly an objective measurement, there are a ton of articles out there saying that Americans are actually among the "best behaved" tourists by nationality.
