I refuse to use they since it is so insane grammatically.

Maybe some day I could even be persuaded to use made-up pronouns but they is a bridge too far. You do not identify as more than one person.

Edit:

>"Where noun–pronoun disagreement can be avoided, avoid it. Where it can't be avoided, resort to it cautiously because some people will doubt your literacy ..." Garner's Modern American Usage (2003).

>"They. Not to be used when the antecedent is a distributive expression, such as each, each one. everybody, every one, many a man. Use the singular pronoun. ... A similar fault is the use of the plural pronoun with the antecedent anybody, anyone, somebody, someone [. . . ] The use of he as pronoun for nouns embracing both genders is a simple, practical convention rooted in the beginnings of the English language." Strunk & White, The Elements of Style.

IIRC, actual native Americans were pissed about the name redskins, namely the National Congress of American Indians. But shockingly, they aren't a hive mind monolith and have differing opinions.

> Muslim and Sikh

Both wear turbans.

>Hindu and Buddhism

Both Asian.

Totes the same religions, obvs.

(On a serious note, Hinduism and Buddhism do overlap here and there).

Actually, among SJWs she's a successful and somewhat revered businesswoman.

She even managed to get a relatively sympathetic profile out of Elizabeth Spiers after deliberately attacking and slurring her when she thought there might be any criticism in it whatsoever, and managed to gaslight a large number of online journalists into questioning whether they even had the right to report on women without their express permission.

Of all the utterly toxic professional victims making hay off the outrage industry, she's among the very best at what she does.

A book that you may find both interesting and prescient is Carol Swain's 2002 study The New White Nationalism. It argues that left-wing policies fuel racial tension, P.C. suppresses discussion of these tensions, and these leave whites vulnerable to recruitment by upscale white nationalists.

I'm green, red is (was?) one of my good friends. Yellow one of her friends and I have no idea who blue is, but I like him. I hope it's fairly clear, it gets a bit messy towards the end.

This is the article she linked. Shockingly being told I am a vital part of the rape culture machine rubs me the wrong way.

And as usual, SJWs don't bother to look around before speaking up. > Women scientists in the 21st century

>In the early 21st century in the United Kingdom and the United States, nearly 50 percent of medical degrees and doctorate degrees in the biomedical sciences were awarded to women.

Of course, it doesn't say what race those women were, so if they were cis white women they probably don't count.

Mattress Girl's alleged rapist (who has been cleared by more than one campus investigation, and the police) is suing Columbia. Read the lawsuit filed by Paul Nussenger here to get a great rundown of wtf happened. I promise it's worth every page (except for maybe the last several). Your jaw will hit the floor.

In related news, a UVA Dean is suing Rolling Stone. Read the lawsuit here. The tl;dr on that is that both Erdely and Rolling Stone repeatedly evaded questioning and actively LIED trying to maintain the credibility of the story (even the credibility of the accusations made about UVA's handling of Jackie's case). Even Jackie was uncomfortable with how Dean Eramo was portrayed (page 46).

Here you can see SJWs successfully convincing coders to drop master/slave terminology, switching instead to primary/replica. It all goes downhill after this comment, which most people seem to agree with:

>This is an opportunity for Drupal to promote inclusiveness, to be a part of a charge that demonstrates that amongst the plethora of stories about tech discrimination, we listen, and we react, and we try to change to make everybody feel welcome.

I come from one of the most liberal counties in America. I have read in English class "Black Boy", "Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry", "A Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas", "A Raisin in the Sun", "To Kill a Mockingbird". And "The Autobiography of Malcolm X".

White students make up 15% of my school population and I've had mostly African American English teachers. Do you know how hard it to sit in class and read about how Malcolm X wants to kill "White Devils" and how the ugly white people came from caves to kill the beautiful Africans and rape the world? Usually there is only two or three white kids in my English class and this is very hard. Especially with Ferguson and Garner happening this year.

A few weeks ago we read an article about how kids raised in secular families are more moral and intelligent people. Not only is that article spitting in the face of everyone raised in a religious family, but the indicators of morality and intelligence were all liberal agenda stuff: disagreeing with corporal punishment, supporting gay rights, women's rights, and "accepting the science of global warming." Article if you want to read and be disgusted by the bias.

So I know when we think of political agendas being present in our school systems we think of some redneck teacher sharing his own views on creationism in some backwater Mississippi town, but I think it's good to know that this stuff goes both ways.

EDIT: At no point during this comment to I say "liberal propaganda". Several people have quoted me as saying that.

EDIT: Yes I support women's rights, gay rights, and I believe in climate change. If you are going to comment about this point please read the article, this has nothing to do on my personal take of these topics.

Here ya go. Court documents filed by the alleged rapist against Columbia University.

"Fuck me in the butt," on page 5. To be fair, likely a joke.

"Paul I wuv you so much. Please stay w me foevah," "I LOVE YOU - SO MUCH," "PAUL I MISS YOU PAUL I MISS YOU PAUL I MISS YOU PAULLL" on page 7.

"Rape" happens on page 8; also on page 8, two days later, after Paul allegedly brutally beat and raped her, she Facebooked him: "i feel like we need to have some real time where we can talk about life and thingz because we haven't really had a paul-emma chill sesh since summmerrrrr."

Document goes on to chronicle her persistent and unreciprocated affection for Paul on page 9.

Pages 12, 13, and 14 document various serious and legitimate inconsistencies in her story.

She's entirely full of shit.

Actually, rape fits.
It also means "The wanton destruction or spoiling of a place".

Comes from back when taking the virginity of a woman was spoiling her.

Here's the link- I agree with many of the points that have already been said. The article says that he consulted with a doctor, but I don't see how putting infectious blood all over something sharp is in any way a good idea???

Always. They kill calves for the rennet. The sliced up stomach of baby cows. You don't see it very often. Pretty much only in organic cheeses, and even then it's pretty rare. It's only been in the last few decades that they found rennet in microbes/been able to get it recombinantly(GMO bacteria), but 40 years ago, all cheese used calve stomachs.

But wait! Wouldn't those games be ableist towards individuals that are incapable of emotional depth? Ugh you are LITERALLY calling for the systematic gaming oppression of autistic people, and that is some triggering shit.

Obviously, games just shouldn't exist anymore. That way, everyone is equal.

patreon's a third party service and it clearly shows how much money everybody gets so it's pretty easy to verify that she actualy has 582 patreons for 13.188$ per month

I feel the need to link to the dongle incident mentioned in the article.

Then they wonder why people say feminists can't take a joke.

This is insulting to Africans.

If white Europeans were poor and uncivilized, and Africa was this rich and advanced civilization, then how is it that these Caucasians who barely crawled out of the caves completely took over and stole everything from Africa?

You can't have it both ways. If white people were so inferior, they shouldn't have been able to dominate a superior group, unless they overwhelmed them with numbers. But Europeans didn't do that, the way the Mongols sacked the technologically superior Roman Empire. They were simply more advanced.

If you want to make the money analogy work, you have to tweak it a bit.

>Europeans had 10 bucks. Africans had 2 bucks. But Africans also had a million bucks buried in their yard, and Europeans knew where to dig. >

It sucks how Europe has constantly exploited Africa throughout history. It has been cruel and brutal and very much unfair. It's a legitimate complaint. There's just no need to rewrite history in order to make that point.

Edit - OK, before anyone else jumps on the train, I was talking about the Huns, but said Mongols for some reason. And by "sacked Rome", I didn't mean they took the city of Rome, just that Rome as an empire lost lots of land to a technologically interior enemy, due to sheer numbers and brutality.

I don't play Overwatch so I didn't know the characters, who apparently are called heroes.

So I looked them up and the cast seems pretty diverse. Nice mix of brown and even fucking animals as heroes.

I'm all for diversity but this isn't an issue.

This is an actual explanation I found- "In order to ‘mansplain’ a speaker must assume his listener is uninformed and unintelligent. The speaker reduces the listener to a child’s status in a condescending, patronizing manner that silences and crushes any further dialogue. Few women, in our society, can attain that level of arrogant pomposity." Because no woman EVER has ever been condescending or patronizing, especially while expressing their views on feminism or cultural appropriation etc.

Look, I hate to say it but this is EXACTLY the kind of anti-white bullshit the alt-right and white nationalists LOVE because it drives people to their side.

Think about it, you're a young white straight male who is berated on social media, news, and at university (by students and courses/teachers) about how being white is inherently "problematic", how because of your skin color you are inherently racist, that it's not even "ok to be white", and holy.shit, if you say you are "proud" to be white, that's a nail in your coffin because you're a fucking Nazi and you might as well be out committing genocide.

I'm 32, I'm past the point of being very vulnerable to white nationalist and Nazi ideas, but the younger generation is not, the average white straight teen is not. When they feel so under attack like I can see they could feel today, it's tough to say but it feels almost natural to seek out a place where you'd feel welcomed and accepted for who you are, a place where you feel proud to be you.

This is the kind of propaganda the alt-right is pushing now and I fear it is going to be very effective. https://hooktube.com/watch?v=BYFjRH-vxGg

I think the problem here is mainly someone confusing the terms "sex" and "gender" since the former is defined as something strictly biological (see definition 2) ... which is also why I wonder why the form says "Gender"

As the "nurse" states: > & your genitals/physiology have nothing to do with your gender.

Are there any other instances of "mad pride"? Looks like she's got a monopoly on this.

>I have OCD, PTSD with depersonalization, schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), mild ADD, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (a diagnosis I personally do not view as a disability in any sense of the definition).

Hmm. Narcissism isn't... a problem. Hmm. Well, she claims to have diagnoses, can't say shit except that someone decided arguing with someone who wears "insane" on their sleeve (probably literally) was a good idea.

EDIT: It's gonna be a hell of a night

I feel bad for all these doctors. They're trying to improve the lives of these people, and all it amounts to is banging their heads against the wall.

Not to mention that a consistent aerobic exercise program does help with depression.

True, but Spock was more a cultural and logical outcast and his emotional outburst (particularly during Pon Farr) and his understanding of other peoples social commentary made him feel a little more perfectionist than anything else.

The thing about Data was that he clearly meant well and wanted to be a part of things, but simply couldn't do it. The whole "Data discovering what it is to be human" story held very true for a lot of us. Spock wasn't quite so clear cut - it was clear that his logical devotion was done out of a belief that it made him a better person. Data didn't have any such belief. He had no choice.

He wanted to be something he couldn't be. It was a wonderful story for people like myself who honestly wondered if we were good people. Sure, he was just a character on a TV show, but Data was proof positive that you could be a good, honest and productive member of society without fitting in.

http://www.geekwire.com/2013/brent-spiner-star-trek/

I also wasn't alone in feeling this way. Here's an article where the actor (Spiner) relates how shocked he was when autistic and aspergers people come up to him and thank him for giving someone for them to relate with on telly. What i love about Data is that he is a genuinely positive, decent, kind, even loving character who is genuinely incapable of understanding how they do it. He wasn't an autistic character but he was a character autistic people could relate with, just as Spock was with the Jews.

That is how sci-fi should be written. It shouldn't be written for people, but the issues surrounding it should be relatable and mutable. Data just happened to get it right thanks to remarkably consistent writing and an actor genuinely ignorant of the context. Spiner turned up, said his lines and played the part. He didn't "seek inspiration from" autistic people. He just was.

Oh God, thank you. Fucking thank you.

After countless bullshit postmodern feminist dramas over jokes, pronouns and the like, scandals over trivialities and misquotations (Paul Graham controversy, anyone?) and the emergence of a new, ultra-liberal "geek feminist" movement that has invaded all technological discourse with its potent toxicity, it's very refreshing to see a realistic point of view.

I'm sick of oversensitive people with emotional disorders blowing things out of proportion, as in the libuv pronoun controversy, Donglegate, bro pages and whatever the heinous oppression of the week is (the Geek Feminism Wiki keeps a log) to fuel their persecution complexes. Every week on Hacker News, it's all the same. And it always goes in the same direction: nowhere.

I just ran a search on HN for this article, and guess what... it's been sunk straight to the bottom with barely any attention: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7189846

I still visit HN regularly because of the great computer science and programming articles you can find, although I am getting aggravated by all the SEO, marketing and social justice bullshit. I'm thinking of moving to lobste.rs or something.

>implying girls don't like goldfish crackers normally and those "princess" crackers aren't literally just a promotional version with different packaging

>implying you didn't post this specifically to get a rise out of cis people

Genuinely fascinated by this. Disclaimer: regarding some points, I may not properly understand the cultural context of what's being claimed in this list.

>Being an unapologetic gentrifer.

Assuming that they meant "gentrifier", I found a dictionary definition that says it means improving a neighbourhood. Why would you have to apologize for doing something constructive, unless you have masochist tendencies or problems with your self-esteem?

>Unchecked white/class privlege.

The way they intend to, in turn, check whether this was properly 'checked' raises some questions. It should be interesting, for sure.

>Destroying Black and Brown communities.

My knowledge and comprehension of life in the US is probably lacking here, but I seriously doubt if this is actively pursued.

>Making mortgages/rent unaffordable.

May be another cultural gap on my part; in my country, you live where you can afford it. Want to live in a bigger house and/or in a nicer area? Start to earn more.

>Exasperating income segregation.

Cannot reasonably comment; the definition clashes with my view on what I understand is affirmative action. I hope that I can safely assume that Seattle has its share of 'white' people living in poverty as well.

>Stealing Black culture while displacing Black people

This, I find the most intriguing bit. Here, I picture well-nurtured, cruel white fat cat landlords evicting black families from their homes for being unable to pay the rent by day, after which they play their new gangsta rap project to their friends at the country club that evening, boasting about how they invented a new style of music.
"You gonna love dis sick beatz, dawg!"

> According to The Autobiography of Malcolm X, all the races other than the black race were by-products of Yakub's work, as the "red, yellow and brown" races were created during the "bleaching" process;[3] however, the "black race" included Asian peoples, considered to be shared ancestors of the Moors. (...) Elijah Muhammad also asserted that some of the new white race "tried to graft themselves back into the black nation, but they had nothing to go by." As a result, they became gorillas. "A few were lucky enough to make a start, and got as far as what you call the gorilla. In fact, all of the monkey family are from this 2,000 year history of the white race in Europe."

Lmao what random garbage. How do people actually believe/follow the Nation of Islam?

That's a window into who these people really are. Everyone against them is subhuman, in need of their guidance, wisdom - tyranny.

If you read accounts of people that suffered horribly in concentration camps ("Man's Search for Meaning"), the thing that sticked the most for survivors wasn't the absolutely brutal physical treatment - it was being spat on; being treated less than human. And it's in that believed inherent superiority that all the physical torment was justified.

> go full SJW

So you mean lose all chance at surviving in the long term?

For those who're curious about the book, it's now on Amazon

I don't really understand what happened to Bioware games. It's no longer about the story/combat/tactics. It's all about having sex with your companions and shipping the other ones off. Most of the fanbase doesn't care about anything other than that shit so that's who they pander too. Just take a look into the Dragon Age tag on tumblr. All these people care about is who they can fuck.

Went through the comments and I'm gonna shed some light on the whole "cotton pillows is bad for black hair" thing.

I'm a Black woman who wraps her hair up in silk or satin wraps EVERY night after I treat my scalp to a good massage and treat my hair to some oils and shea butter. The reason why I do this is because my hair is natural - as in no relaxers, texturizers or anything that will alter the natural curl pattern of my hair. Cotton is notorious for drawing the moisture out of hair and your hair can easily get snagged in the multitudes of fibers that exist with pillow cases made with 100% cotton. Hair matting, dryess, and the all too notorious "naps" will form if we don't wrap our heads every night or lay on silk or satin pillows.

His approach to it was so fucking outlandish I cracked up, but yeah, that's the reason why we do it, so that we can look good as fuck in the morning and not have to do so much work so we can just get washed and go.

Edit: For those who want to give this a shot an see a difference: How to tie a du-rag properly. or purchase a Silk sleep cap on Amazon Or check in the hair accessories aisle of Wal-mart or your local store that sells hair care products. I also suggest you to clean/change your pillowcases if you use a lot of products in your hair and I highly suggest the use of also silk or satin pillowcases. Follow the care tag on it and it'll hold up. Good luck on your hair-ventures, you fucking shitlords. <3

Its sad that this stopped being a joke and is entirely serious.

There is a genuine movement saying that the Aztecs, Mayans, and all other Native Americans were actually African colonists from some African king who sailed off into the sea and was never seen again.

Which prompted this book to be written showing how stupid it is.

People seriously fucking believe a vast African empire spanning the globe got dismantled by Europe. And somehow died from the diseases the Europe man brought that should've been brought to the Americas from the fictional African colonists, who shouldn't have died from diseases they met and carried before.

It's not even a strawman. Just a word which has multiple definitions.

> Spoil or destroy (a place): Synonyms: ravage, plunder, pillage, violate, desecrate, defile; lay waste, ransack, sack; maraud over, raid

The original meaning doesn't have anything to do with sex. For being so anal about the etymology of words (dumb is ableist!) they sure like to selectively ignore it when it suits them.

Famous misquote. Here's the actual Steinbeck quote:

>“Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: ‘After the revolution even we will have more, won’t we, dear?’ Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property. "I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn’t have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.”

Women have always been the primary victims of suicide. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons to suicide. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from suicide and sometimes, more frequently in today’s self-murder, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.

You think that's bad? I will never forget the first time I've learned about testicular torsion. Basically your balls wrap around them selves causing extreme pain.

Sweet zombie jesus, some redditor was commenting on Django getting overrun by SJW since they imposed their code of conduct. I thought he/she was just being paranoid!

Maybe because it is an actual problem that should be addressed instead of dismissed as an alt-right conspiracy theory.

American tipping culture is an interesting example of something that almost everyone hates, but can't easily be gotten rid of.

Fun fact: The custom of "required" tipping, like so many other evils, is the legacy of Prohibition. Under-the-table cash payments for alcohol, or to make up the revenue lost by its absence, were rationalized as "tips" -- a practice that hitherto had been considered undemocratic and, ironically, too European.

I tried to do that on RPG Maker Ace but I couldn't handle it mentally.

Basically your character had a (self-diagnosed) personality defect that allowed him to become anything, and you had to alter your persona to get advantages over the enemies. The battling was supposed to be similar to oppression (OP) olympics, where if your enemy is an asian-american (+1 OP) with a physical disability (+1) you would be at a disadvantage unless you changed your persona into a gay (+1) black (+1) dwarf (+1) or something.

That being said, I couldn't scale shit since it was so illogical and eventually ragequit. Rather than a linear progression throughout the game it became a cyclical circlejerk upon itself. I think I quit when I was wondering if your level (which steadily increased) was considered a privilege over the lower level enemies, and if the final boss should be lvl 1 or something.

Edit: Also, 'winning' the battles as a problematic concept due to it being a demonstration of power. :/

There's actually a decent amount of Academia dedicated to figuring out how the Irish transitioned from identifiable ethnic minority to other white people. The most famous example is about how the Irish came to become oppressors, which is oF cOuRsE synonymous with white.

But the most profound way in which they became what was... they assimilated.

It has, it just had a heart attack and died. Repeatedly. Costing charity hospitals tens of thousands of dollars because it didn't have insurance.

Is he really Maori? I don't think so, his bio states that he's from the outback. I think the Maori/Islander skin is just a skin, a lot of them just have no lore basis and are there just to look cool. totally fine.

Though, as an Egyptian, I do have to somewhat agree with the tumblr OP that it's a bit dumb; would have preferred some consistency and a neato Egyptian themed armor. At the same time, I care very little about these things, this skin looks awesome, and this will probably be the least racist way Native American stuff will get represented in OW. Will definitely try to get Thunderbird at some point (I love Pharah).

To some degree, what he's saying is utterly true. The Soviet Union widely practiced a policy of what is called "dezinformatsia" which translates approximately to "active measures" in English although the term "disinformation" has come into play since the collapse of the the government in 1989.

The premise of dezinformatsia is to massively misinform the West about Russian intentions by creating storylines that are so logical that they should be real, often with some sort of backup evidence. An example of dezinformatsia is the oft quoted claim that the Federal Government invented HIV in order to kill off ethnic minorities in the United States, a rumor that continues to be interpreted as fact even to this day. Even the KGB was shocked by how successful their campaign turned out to be and the FSB -- the subsequent state security apparatus that replaced the KGB -- continues to practice dezinformatsia today, especially in the Ukraine.

Double dick dude was first bumped up on tumblr before kicking off 2014 with that amazing AMA.

4chan got Jenna Jameson thread to kick off the new year (NSFW) Took /b/ less than an hour for the exchange of pictures and information.

Tumblr has its purpose.

According to Quora:

>Once she said 'Articles of Confederation' I laughed.

>Article 4 States But to instill a national feeling, "[t]he better to secure and perpetuate mutual friendship and intercourse among the people of the different States in this union," it establishes equal treatment and freedom of movement for the FREE INHABITANTS of each state to pass unhindered between the states, excluding "paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice." All these people are entitled to equal rights established by the state into which he travels. If a crime is committed in one state and the perpetrator flees to another state, he will be extradited to and tried in the state in which the crime was committed.

>Even in this, there is nothing that states you get to ignore the laws of the state you are in. In fact it says the state you are in says what rights you have.

>And it is all a dead point anyway because The Articles of Confederation were replaced in 1789 by the ratification of the Constitution.

This is...amazing.

I get really tired of people providing this as a rebuttal to "Communism clearly has not worked" So here is this, just for you.

They're trying to change a official definition power is not required for racism. So yes you can call it racism because it is and no amount of feels is ever going to change that.

I think it was Frankl who made the following quote during Man's Search for Meaning, which I always find relevant in terms of suffering:

“To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.”

I usually paraphrase as: Suffering is an ideal gas, it expands to fill any situation.

I looked through the WikiTravel guide for the USA. It warns visitors about feminists, haha.

>It may be noted that although there are many levels of feminism in America, many of them don't mesh with each other. So the definition may extend to merely women preferring equality to men or to the extreme of women who indiscriminately dislike males regardless of the male's character.

I am gay, and I think Islam has major issues. Everyone is so quick to jump on the "but Christianity too" gun but I dare you to do a Pride parade in Norway/France/UK/Canada/America/Whatever vs a Pride parade in Syria / Iraq / Somalia/ whatever. Then tell me Christianity is as bad as Islam.

I try to judge the muslims I know individually as persons. But Islam has major fucking issues atm and are soooooo far behind in human rights departments.

Islam has became this sacred thing that isn't allowed to be critized at all, but it really has to be. Islam is not perfect at all, far from it.

Also, everyone keeps bringing up the KKK as the Christanity ISIS. But Muslims also so many more terror groups apart from ISIS. Let's not forget Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and more. Islam just breeds hatred on a bigger scale atm.

50% of UK Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/11/british-muslims-strong-sense-of-belonging-poll-homosexuality-sharia-law

This is in UK, one of the most liberal places. In Syria it's probably close to 100%

Sorry for the rant, but I am so tired of people defending Islam when it HAS to be reformed.

Not saying it isn't funny, but the sheer amount of time they invest in that kind of shit is hilarious. I'd like to see a count of how many man hours are used to make swastikas in Habbo.

It's a quote from James Nicoll: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore.

"Promiscuous" certainly can be about sexuality, but it really means &quot;indeterminate mingling&quot;, and can refer to far more than sex. I took a course in alcoholic beverage marketing last year, and the speaker noted the "promiscuity" of craft beer drinkers. They will go for some Oskar Blues, some Bell's, some Sierra Nevada, etc.

And what is worse is the reflexive action by organizers to fold in the face of such flimsy allegations. There will always be petty busybodies complaining about ultimately insignificant things. But it is really difficult for me to believe that, say, getting catered by a Mexican restaurant for a sci-fi conventionis a way of telling attendees that Mexicans aren't human. Yet UC-Santa Cruz did exactly that, and issued a sniveling apology letter that promised punishment for the event's organizers.

The author's complete lack of self-awareness is evident with these two statements:

>In my mid-twenties, I learned that taking your female friends to a gay bar is like taking a vegetarian to a butcher shop. There is a lot of meat, a lot of prime cuts, and even a little tripe, but nothing they can eat.

>It turns out even gay men objectify women–but dismiss such thoughts on the basis of their sexual orientation.

Because comparing men to meat isn't "sexualizing" them, amirite?

The most obnoxious things to ever come upon a gay bar: straight female's bachelorette parties. It's like the girls come there just to gawk at the freak show and titter about it back to the safe suburbs. It got so bad that another author at gawker wrote about it after an LA club banned bachelorette parties. And, of course, read the comments in that one... it's all because muh-soggy-knees.

in an old gaming community we used to use Bittorrent Sync to share movie files, then get together at a scheduled time on our mumble server (you could also use ts3 or ventrillo). someone would give a count down and we would all start the video at a specified time and talk over the voice server. there were scheduled breaks for food/ bathroom where we would all pause and sync our times up in case someone got out of sync.

you could also rig up a multicast through VLC, but its hard and I dont have a lot of experience with it.

>That is why I said /r/theredpill of the past. /r/theredpill of the past rarely paid attention to women

I'm sick of red pillers repeating this lie, so check this out y'all. That's /r/theredpill as it was when it was just 2 months old. All the formatting is non-existent but you can still see post titles such as:

>How the feminine imperative “just happens”.

>"Here we see an all too common theme of the feminine imperative; using men to settle a score between women."

>Catfights over hand bags and tears in the toilets. - the story of a 100% women company

>"Women willfully create the beta class of men, and willfully keep them in the dark about there even being another class, and work hard to deny class mobility.... they make a coordinated concerted effort to do so, and strongly oppose any countermeasures."

>Why women lose the dating game - Mainstream article about hypergamy and SMV

>The Decline Of American Women

>Ethnicity and Female Self-Entitlement

>"Post-feminist, 21st-century Western [..] casual sort of intimacy [..] was not working for me." [...] what you see now is the expectation of a new appreciation for her insight which was prompted by her need, not a genuine introspective.

ALL OF WHICH ARE ABOUT WOMEN.

Wrong. As a connoisseur of gay porn I can say that this is demonstrably false. OP has clearly not seen pornstars such as Rudolf Schneider or Marc Dylan, the latter a power bottom, getting plowed by guys half their size.

Twinks don't have a feminine appearance? I assume that OP is referring to their facial appearance. They have lithe bodies, or is that not feminine enough?

Stop complaining that you don't find women in gay porn catered to guys. There's bi porn for that.

EDIT: NSFW link for Marc Dylan under the name of Chris Gabriel.

Plenty of people use said tag. Admittedly quite a few of them do so wrongly.

That said, some get it right

So does Kim Kardashian

The whole article, which is not as stupid as the headline would suggest. It's a funny way to explain what leap years are, nothing more.

Who knew accusing someone of rape could carry consequences if their identity is figured out.

It's almost as if rape is commonly frowned upon...

> Abutment

noun a structure built to support the lateral pressure of an arch or span, e.g., at the ends of a bridge. the process of supporting something with an abutment. a point at which something abuts against something else.

Ok, so its an architecture thing. Yes, I had to look it up

Then I got the feeling that this bitch has no actual intelligence and obviously didn't know what it means. So I decided to put in a word that makes sense and then go to thesaurus.com.

The word I chose was "support"..

What do you know, 2nd choice, almost like she just types this shit in normal-speak and then uses a thesaurus to sound smart..

No, this is a pretty good and accessible popular treatment. Into the early 1900s in the US, white was a thing, and Irish and Italians and Jews were not white.

> There were Germans who protested the Nazis, there were Germans who didn't vote for the Nazis, and there were Germans who directly opposed the Nazis. Can the same be said for southerners?

Considering there are stories of families whose sons ended up on opposite sides in the war, I'm going to say "yes" to that question. And here is 30 seconds of google

Ok, it's getting serious. Since Vavra recieved a death threat, he was forced to make a patreon account. Support him plz! He need it in these hard times.

You're welcome to see my latest multiplayer game here It's free because I just want to share.

But I don't want to give the wrong impression I'm looking for pity. I just thought maybe people would see how this is affecting more then gamers and readers, its affecting me as a developer as well. I think this is quite damaging on another level.

https://medium.com/technology-and-society/a26c6bee1b69 - Here it is (It's nexus 4 btw). She sees people choking on tear gas and getting beaten up, but makes the whole story about man phones and patriarchy.

So they're only $140, not $1400 like most hearing aids, but I use one and it works pretty well. My left eardrum hasn't recovered from its last rupture 3-4 years ago, so I can only wear one, but it makes a HUGE difference. I also feel it's good to have a $70 hearing aid as my first one so when I lose it/break it I won't be crushed.

I feel one ear is worse than both ears. I have to always make sure to position myself/sit myself so everyone is on the same side of me wherever I go.

But North Korea is also Communist.

Communism is an ideology dedicated to Communism as an ideal state of existence, which is completely unfeasible. Communist states definitely attempted to fit with Marx's idea of how to get to true Communism, and without fail they've messed it up every single time, because Marx was an idle idiot who knew nothing about human nature and wouldn't know an honest day's work if it slapped him in the face with a copy of The Wealth of Nations.

You appear to be correct! This was the state of things in January, showing 13,082, whereas the live page shows only 3188.

Erm... I'm really trying to help you out with this conversion therapy thing, but nowhere has it been said it's effective.

The delay of puberty is so that people who may be transgender can figure these things out. That's all, they don't cause cancer, in fact they've been used long before transgender individuals for other diseases. Example is Synarel which delays the onset of puberty and doesn't cause cancer.

Also, seriously, "freaks of nature?" You do realize that not only does HRT + Surgery lower suicide rates down to that of a normal oppressed people (please don't start an argument telling me trans people aren't oppressed, I know it's true, my parents still hate me just for being who I am), and is accepted even by the people that you sent me in your other comment. That's what we're doing. We're trying to cure it. The brain is a complicated thing that we're trying to figure out all the time. The body is a bit less complicated and we can very easily affect it in comparison without causing long term brain damage. At the moment, this is the best we have. If there does come a time when we find a magic cure-all pill for transgender people, let me know.

While we're at it why not ban "bad" as well, since it's derived from an Old English word meaning hermaphrodite or effeminate man.

Language, everybody!

Your title reminds me of something Neal Stephenson wrote, which applies to SJW types:

Memo Dated July 17, 2015

From: The Office Of The Supreme Patriarch

To: The Minions

OK, the big guy noticed that some of you plebeians are not up on the various forms of non-physical rape that you're all supposed to engage in every day. This may explain why we are way off on our rape targets for this quarter. Brother shitlord Canada-lost has compiled a short list of how to rape a woman without touching her.

You guys need to study this - there might be a question on it in this years patriarchy acceptance exams.

https://www.webmd.com/schizophrenia/guide/delusional-disorder#1

>Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness called a "psychosis" in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, unshakable beliefs in something untrue or not based on reality.

Are you just making shit up? (Are you, perhaps, delusional? lol)

At first they just posted the 2nd paragraph. It wasn't long until someone pointed out that Terry is problematic too and they had to edit it.

If you want to see their attempts at memes, here are a couple: https://imgpile.com/i/n31dDh https://imgpile.com/i/n31hVE

Also, I know TERF means Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, but I have no idea what SWERF means.

No, it gets better.

https://www.amazon.com/Real-Knockouts-Physical-Feminism-Self-Defense-ebook/dp/B00EIFPGC0/

So it exists, but it actually undercuts her point, because it's actually a book about the relation of feminism to women's self-defense. If this is the book, the man was perfectly correct.

That's why she didn't specify.

>7 year old Malcolm Little was called "little Malcolm" on the playground. He went home and said, "mama, oh mama, my fellow schoolmates? They are wielding my surname as a weapon of low discourse!" The next day, young Master Little accompanied his mother to City Hall, and therein legally changed his last name to X. The rest is history.

Here's a write-up of it: http://mashable.com/2014/11/03/alex-from-target-meme/

In short: Person thinks their bagger at Target is cute, takes a creepshot photo and posts it on Twitter, lots of people agree and RT the shit out of it, and it starts trending. And it keeps escalating from there.

Are we in the hell where stupid ignorant people call others stupid and ignorant? Why are there so many delusional idiots who think they're Cool Modern Einstein in the world today?

He's not joking. "Fat acceptance" is a movement dedicated to convincing everyone that there's nothing wrong with being fat and the entire medical profession is wrong about the chronic health risks associated with obesity.

Or this blog, which is one of the single largest reasons this subreddit was started: http://thisisthinprivilege.tumblr.com/

The word "literally" has been misused so much that it's literally been added/changed in the dictionary as "figuratively" under 'informal uses'.
Rape seems to be heading in the same direction.
Sexism is "typically against women". Thankfully, to this point, racism doesn't yet exclude white people...yet...

In which tumblr reminds itself things happen, and they are real

This is The "#tumblr update" tag on tumblr. I would look through it for more examples, except I can't navigate that piece of shit.

Ok, so i looked into the source of this article. Found Here

The actual title itself led me to believe it was a misinterpretation of a scientific article, but no.. It's just trashy journalism (blogging?). Whilst I disagree with the practice, I don't see how this belongs here on /r/TumblrInAction. Line 2 of the article even uses the phrase, "plus sized-men". I'm replying here of course to the title of this reddit post, and not the content of the article. Many of the 'meme' images used in the article even refer to the women/themselves as overweight.

That reminds me of another crazy lady who got conned into buying land for a libertarian utopia.

There's also the cringe <em>Feminist Baby</em> series. Call me old-fashioned, but I stick to gifting The Poky Little Puppy and its companion, Das Kapital, at baby showers.

> Instead of "hey sexy", I usually get "hey Jabba"

lol

>(as in Jabba the Hutt, who is the boss of everyone so thanks for saying I'm powerful!!!) or "you're a whale/hippo", both of which are extremely cute animals that could crush a human being if they wanted to.

Well then there's no problem is there? She learned to ignore and redirect the things that were meant to hurt her. As Tyrion Lannister said:

>Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

>I feel SJW's would be more shocked by the japanese word for cheap, which literally features a woman under a roof. 安い. (This is the character for woman: 女)

Definitely chinese.

No obvious 100% certain proof, but it's pretty likely.

Here's what you'll need to know.

Honestly, it's not a lot but, knowing 4chan, leaving any personal information there is pretty much signing a waiver because if you piss them off and some /b/tard finds your pass, you're going to be sorry for a long, long time.
