AlliedBiscuit posted:Just found one in the wild. I just can't with these people. This was in response to a response to a gay Republican using Malcolm X's quotes about liberals as proof that the left is the real oppressor of black people. That's quite a lot of words to say "Someone pointed out I was being racist and my feelings got hurt." Also lol that the Civil Rights Movement was ok, but BLM is just going to far. I've seen so many people on social media wishing for the good 'ol days of the Civil Rights Movement and 2nd wave feminism. Back then, they weren't like these mouthy/pushy/criminal BLM and 3rd wave people. Nosiree, back in the 60s, people protested peacefully for actual injustice, and didn't inconvenience me at all because I wasn't born. I wish I'd taken a screenshot, because I found someone on FB the other day arguing that 2nd wave feminism was fine and dandy, but 3rd wave feminism was equal to ISIS. Literally ISIS.

That thread continues for 5 more tweets, all of which are extremely cursed. My favorites include "Develop a Vaccine by the End of 2020" (which you'll note is still his first term and also 2 loving months from now) and "Stop Endless Wars & Bring Troops Home" followed directly by "Maintain & Expand our Unrivaled Military Strength."

Yeah, I'm in Delaware right now, and the number of pro-Trump billboards is absolutely crazy. It's not because the state is going red, but because they're desperate to get anyone here to vote against Biden. It's not going to work here any more than it will in California. (It doesn't help that all of the billboards are of Trump hugging a flag and making a weird face, for some reason.)

chitoryu12 posted:https://twitter.com/ginacarano/status/1324385598539399168 I swear to god, everyone who yaps about voter fraud and filming the vote counting needs to spend at least one presidential election working at a polling place. It's a room full of people making small talk while opening envelopes and looking up names on spreadsheets as quickly as possible. No one's thinking about who voted for who, you're thinking that you're really sick of scanning a list of Smiths and wish you could move to the W-Z names because those sound more interesting. If you stopped to check every single mail-in to see who they voted for before chucking it through the scanner, we'd be announcing a winner sometime next June.

9/10 times, the second someone mentions cultural appropriation online, you know you're in for a hot take. A white woman on my FB feed tried to argue the other day that white people wearing head coverings in bed to protect their hair at night was cultural appropriation. Completely ignoring POC people who were telling her she had no idea what she was talking about, and wearing sleep caps while sleeping =/= appropriating black culture. One black lady pointed out that she was being a little racist, assuming that all black people had the same type of hair, and ofc was immediately dogpiled on by a ton of white people. And then the same white people go to a New Age shop and spend $150 on "Indian crystals" that are totally used by Navajo medicine men to erase evil spirits in your gallbladder or whatever.

there wolf posted:Diversity as a positive thing in advertising has been around for decades at this point, and normalized enough that even racists just roll their eyes at 'political correctness' and move on if they see a black family representing all families in a major ad campaign. If a product or company has never used a person of color in an ad before, they'll get some poo poo for it, but right now bigots are more inclined to get huffy about Latino, Muslim, Gay, and interracial families. The last ad melt-down I remember was Coca cola doing some national diversity pablum with the Spangled Banner where one line was sung in Spanish. I think I remember that, was it a Super Bowl commercial? People melted down because they got "political." I was so confused when when people get mad at that Cheerios commercial, and then I remembered that ~50 years ago, interracial relationships were still illegal (and punishable) in large portions of the US. I'm not saying boomers are more racist than other age groups...but they still remember a time when being openly racist was commendable in most social circles.

I think I mentioned it in another thread, but driving through backcountry CA I got to listen to a radio host giving a sermon on how Jesus wasn't a peace-loving pansy like liberals would have you believe. He was a man's man who rolled up his sleeves and put the fear of god into people. So yes, they 100% believe that the sermon on the mount has been twisted by the liberal agenda. Furthermore, the needle's eye refers to the gate in Jerusalem that...

Comparing ADHD and autism to major depressive disorder is comparing non-mood disorders disorders with mood disorders. It's just not going to line up. As someone mentioned, mood disorders by definition impact your quality of life, whereas other behavioral disorders don't necessarily. If you like your life with OCD/ADHD/etc, that's awesome. But it's not going to be the same for 99% of people who have major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, or other mood disorders. (Not directing this at you, PP, or anyone in particular. Being comfortable with yourself and living a happy life is pretty much the dream.)

Ambitious Spider posted:It's weird because where I grew up in the Philly burbs, my Catholic education and the Catholics I knew were all left of the dial politically speaking. Then I realized if they weren't that, American Catholics are all weirdo trad caths who should really just pull a mike pence and convert to being evangelicals. For some reason all of the practicing Catholics I know are also from eastern PA (a good mix of Main Line and Pennsyltucky) and they're all pretty leftist. The older generation is really against abortion, though, and will vote based on that alone. there wolf posted:Conservatives adopted anti-abortion policies to break the liberal stronghold in American Catholicism. It's been a supply line for lovely Evangelical politics ever since, and the church leaders in the US have no interest in stopping it. There was a fascinating article that I read a while back that of loving course I can't find now. I'm probably forgetting a lot of the nuance, but it basically said that once the Civil Rights Movement really got going and it was no longer cool to be openly racist and segregationist, conservatives needed something else to rally their troops. So they came up with the issue of abortion.

bony tony posted:That's the beauty of it, the mark of the beast is so vague that it can mean anything. The best one I've seen is that the element Carbon has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons, therefore Carbon = 666. By breathing in carbon dioxide, you're breathing in Satan, so masks are the sign of the beast. These are the same people ten years ago who were saying that Obama was the antichrist because O is the 15th letter of the alphabet, and if you add the numbers of these three Revelation verses, they equal 15. Also, if you add the number of chalices to the number of trumpets, and divide by the number of plagues in Exodus... Biblical numerology is a crazy rabbit hole.

In case anyone was wondering the context of that racist tweet, this is the beginning of the ramblings: https://twitter.com/johnroderick/status/332971115335020544 Looks like the woman he was replying to changed her account name, but 5 seconds of google stalking reveals that she's a pretty liberal. I'd like to think that it was a sarcastic conversation, but he seems like an asshat no matter what. e: he literally deleted the account while I was posting. See screenshots below.

BrigadierSensible posted:This is not specifically about Anti Semetic Bean Dad, but can also be related to his case. While I agree with what others have said, Twitter also doesn't reward assholes for apologizing. At most, you'll get a bunch of replies telling you that it's too little too late, or that you're not sincere. Or people retweeting you to make fun of the fact that you apologized. If assholes are going to be criticized no matter what they do, most of them will choose to double down.

Syd Midnight posted:That's why the word "heritage" is a huge dog whistle. Heritage is what you inherit, by very definition it's something you neither earn nor deserve. Like skin color, it's something predetermined that is handed down at birth so that it's impossible to gently caress up. The "heritage" people argue that because marginalized people are proud, THEY should be able to proud of their cis/straight/whiteness. Of course that ignores the fact that "black is beautiful" and "loud and proud" etc came about because those were things to be ashamed of for so long. It's not so much pride in your skin color, it's a refusal to be ashamed of not matching the westernized standard of beauty. I can get behind that 100%.

This is literally the plot to Brideshead Revisited. Boys who have sex with boys? Cool. Men who have sex with men? Bad. Men who have sex outside of marriage? Not great, but redeemable. Women who have sex outside of marriage? HELLFIRE.

Poor Miserable Gurgi posted:If you can watch several episodes of any sitcom from the 90s you can watch pretty much any older black and white American film. The pacing and acting isn't that different, and the stakes are usually about the same level too. Film techniques and language has changed, but how we understand story has been fairly consistent. Anyone who refuses to watch movies before some arbitrary date just doesn't want to engage their brains. People also don't think about the fact that 99% of the movies that came out pre -1975 (or whatever arbitrary year that guy chose) aren't classics and haven't endured past their original theater run. The 40s gave us Citizen Kane and Casablanca, but it also had a ton of singing cowboys and crap like "Frankenstein vs Wolf Man and Zombie Girl". It's like comparing the pacing and acting in Brick to that of Transformers 4 or something. bulletsponge13 posted:Proof of Life is a fantastic fun movie. I'm sure it's great, it was just always on.

PetraCore posted:At least for mine it was a genuinely fun summer camp where we just had to go to sermon every morning. Anything more than that feels like pulling teeth. My local VBS wasn't too bad either -- when I hit 13 I got to be a junior counselor or whatever they called them, which meant I got paid to watch the kids play tag. One year was bug-themed, and we got to play with hissing cockroaches. It was a really chill church, so I was probably lucky. Actual Bible camp on the other hand was the worst. Once you got to a certain age you could choose what kind of program you wanted to join. Every year I'd pick a new one: horse riding, rock band, wilderness survival, etc trying to figure out which had the least amount of sermons. (The answer was none of them.)
