  • Just let people fuck who they wanna fuck (legally, of course)

    I don’t disagree with what you’re saying I just want to play devils advocate a bit with this statement. It seems sort of odd to caveat a statement that appears unrestrictive with a restriction. I understand why you did it but you conceded the fact that there should be limits on who you can fuck within a statement that, when taken at face value, should mean you can fuck whoever you want. That seems a bit cumbersome doesn’t it?


  • Apparently not. The world would be a much better place if we all stopped making such a big deal about specific trigger words and focused on the ideas being communicated. If someone’s intent was to be an asshole then sure, get the pitchforks out, but make it clear it’s the idea that’s bad. Don’t just scapegoat the word. If they weren’t obviously trying to be a dick then calibrate your response accordingly.

    To put it another way, if you’re upset about the use of a word that a scientist might use to describe something then you’re probably being overly sensitive.






  • The size may not be uncommon but I don’t think it would be controversial to say that most women with boobs that size don’t look like her. I don’t really get the point of the rest of that article though. They’re acting like it’s some jealously guarded secret that a lot of dudes are into big boobs. I feel like that is a pretty widely publicized fact lol




  • Your example ends with the man realizing that he actually did care about the hotel when in reality he would have probably said something like “oh well, we’re only going to be here a few hours and we’ll be unconscious for most of them”. That is what it means when someone says they don’t care. They’re not hiding their true feelings from you just to be annoying.

    If you are tired of making decisions tell the other person to book the hotel. Most laid back people will be fine with that. Just don’t complain if that ends with you not getting what you wanted.

    If that’s the lesson then when were we supposed to learn it? I am old enough to remember very well the last time Democrats tried to do something about healthcare. They gave up on single payer before the debate even started. Was that when I was supposed to learn to vote for them harder or was it one of the times they fucked over the only person with actual plans to implement universal healthcare?

    Yes, Democrats are clearly better than the fascists masquerading as conservatives, but that doesn’t mean they’re fighting the good fight. They don’t even try to force a vote on most things people actually care about. They just throw up their hands and complain that doing things is hard. Then everyone sits around blaming voters for not loving these ineffectual dipshits enough. Fuck that, they suck it’s been that way for a lot more than 12 years.

    That’s a true statement but it’s also true that in the entirety of human history no society has managed to wrest power away from the rich for more than a few generations. They may lie dormant for a while but they always come back. Self destructive greed is in our nature.

    shitty AI voice that sounds like David Attenborough

    The foul, uncultured masses had developed a taste for blood. In their ignorance they had mistaken their benevolent, job creating overseers to be the source of their troubles. With violent fervor they created propaganda espousing their murderous intent, as the piece shown here exemplifies. These horrendous works of art were called memes, pronounced “may-mays”, and were spread amongst the mob primarily through mobile communications devices.


  • Also, I keep seeing people quoting stuff outside of the bible like biblical truth, like The Rapture, and stuff from Dante’s Inferno which is, at best, Bible fan-fic.

    So much of the average person’s understanding of Christianity comes from sources other than the Bible. That is true for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is a really interesting phenomenon. So many arguments over things that are essentially unrelated to the actual debate people think they are having.
