Not the point, but: When derision has been or is dangerous, jokes are no longer funny.
It’s very simple. If a group has been targeted, it’s not clever to reference the things that were used to set them apart. If a group had had violence against them, referring to the violence in the past or present isn’t a joke. It’s just stupid.
Refusing to acknowledge someone’s pain because being stupid is more fun for you has never been a valid defense. ‘I was stupid/didn’t realize i could know better and I’m sorry; I don’t reference that anymore’ - valid! Can you Buh-leeve all this whining about someone making a joke?!?! - NOT valid. Acknowledging your mistakes means owning that it may reverb in the future and accepting the fallout. He’s doing that. You’re not. Grow up.

Oh Lord. This is a whole luggage store of baggage to unpack. Just NO. In the name of good sense, no parades for people of either gender who act decently.

If you meant systemic failure (like schools, or prison, or criminal law, or systemic bribe-taking or caregiving matters), then okay, yes, we got issues. BUT most people unhappy like that are 100% aware that laws reflect the will of the people, past and present. They are not confused that the government somehow doesn’t reflect the goodness of citizens. Nope, that has never been the problem.
In all cases, the solution is to engage. The only people who I see consistently refusing are people who had their core ideas about how fair, just, or good this country is rocked or challenged by someone providing concrete examples to the contrary, and they DID NOT LIKE IT. They just want things to go back to sunshine and convenience. Little Lord Farkqards all over the place. “Some of you may die, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay.” I know this is a stupid rant but I’m viscerally opposed to people taking only the benefits of a representative government, solely when it works for them.

They are, though. Hating the government is passive. It’s a reasonable response to a monarchy or dictatorship, but not a republic. We have a representative form of government which means YOU have to paRTICIPATE. Washing your hands of this fuckery is a lie you tell yourself.
If the government is a problem you ‘hate’, either 1) you hate that it’s a mess or 2) hate that other people’s votes and opinions had the power to create laws you disagree with.
If it’s 1), yeah you do hate the country. Move to a country that doesn’t require any effort from its citizens to be successful. If it’s 2), you prolly spend a lot of time wishing you could help people different than you understand “real” reality and stop whining. So you hate the concept that things aren’t exactly what is convenient for you. In which case: you like the government locally but do hate most of the country. Stop being a whiny baby & DO THE WORK required to understand why other humans have reached alternate conclusions.

Well, that IS why she exists; to gather up rando opinions. No need to imagine she has any motivations or plans. She’s just a pic to you, deep thinker, so that MUST BE all there is. After all, no one is as clever as you are...and since you’re brick stupid, that does limit what thoughts anyone could ever have. Moron for writing and brain-dead moron for reposting it here.

100% of ppl did nOT ASK. OMG. You get butthurt about someone doing something you don’t like - far away from you - and feel like the hero of your video game got attacked.
Damn, son, keep your face hold closed if you can’t develop chill. No one gets up in the morning and hopES WITH ALL THEIR HEART that random weirdos really appreciate the effort they put into being the best scenery they could be. Punkass baby.

Michael Jackson’s daughter in the sense that he raised her. Whether he sired her is a separate question. However, she’s not his asterisk kid; she’s his daughter. Just - maybe not biologically.

Disagree. Situation: Senior exec offers intern feedback on deliverable. Intern uses social nicety to make feedback stop. Exec cannot change that intern is beeeg hotshot in own mind, so remains quiet. Either intern will succeed or intern will fail, but can’t spoon feed a closed mouth.

Beside the point, but honestly - what’s with downing spouses on the internet? She (he?) “let [my] husband”. Such uncooperative, praiseless language. How difficult is it to say something more like: ‘my husband took on labeling the spices’. It’s just unnecessary to say you ‘let’ your partner be involved in home management.

Well, he has no military experience and cites no military folks, but sure King Trashheap Hyperbole definitely has valid and worthwhile opinions on lots of areas of expertise. Absolutely.
Everytime he opens his mouth, I just want to say, ‘Sit down. No, no. Have a seat. Nooo. Nope, sit down.’ He had the speech patterns of a small child. Impossible to listen to.

That’s totally normal. It will never go away but you can work on thought patterns to help you when it paralyzes you from doing something worthwhile (like buying an investment or taking a better job).

A desire to have a sense of outrage is direct proof that you aren’t the underdog you wish you were. If this were a thing (it’s not), it still wouldn’t affect you personally. Take your wish to have a kind and just world and find something actually righteous to put the energy toward.

Oh my GOD. If you don’t “get” the humor sensibilities of someone who doesn’t look like you, SHUT UP. Stop being butt-hurt because people have different thoughts than you. Dumbass

The caption reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin is pounding nails into the coffee table. His mom says, “What are you doing?!?!” (Then a static panel with no dialogue) And he says, “Is that a trick question?”
The problem with politics 12 comments

People who study power and control (laws) focus on getting it.
People who spend their time fixing injustice want to write better laws.
People who study truth are also doing what they want with their time. It’s not outside scope for someone to love science and politics, but it’s not as clearly intertwined.
Fewer scientists thus run for office or advocate for science in politics. Since they aren’t there, politicians can easily make a decision that they aren’t needed. Yes, politicians should be less stupid and entitled. But in a republic (the way the U.S. chooses to do it anyway), it’s almost a job requirement to be that way. The politicians who DO meet with scientists and make good decisions don’t always prevail.

“Look, imagine you’re at a table and everyone’s eating. Except you - who didn’t get a plate. So you say, I want food. Everyone stops eating and looks at you. Someone says, we all want food! And everyone goes back to eating.”

It’s such a great story, until it gets to Al Gore. Adds nothing and subtracts heavily from a wonderful lady’s story. She didn’t do it for the prize, and it doesn’t lessen my awe of her actions. Mentioning who did win it, though, is distracting. Is the story about her or not?

Doesn’t matter to you. You don’t think the world is dangerous and cruel because you realized someone elses sense of fun is worth much, much more than your personal sense of security or belief that laws are supposed to be good and helpful. And that goes down to babies and institutes the law of the jungle, but stacked for the incompetent, pretty, and boorish. With too many complicit, selfish, stupid members of your own species.
