Bottom line. Taking the full 3 days is cringy. Don't be cringy.

Hell, taking even 1 day is cringy! The point of bereavement time is to make sure you give your boss as much free work as possible, and your coworkers don't feel bad about giving charity to the boss for no reason. Seriously, imagine if everyone at your job took 3 days every time a close relative died. It would be total anarchy!

There's a reason you get 3 days. And like puns said, it sounds like it would help you. What kind of a wage slave would you have to be not to take it?

So do I

I think a lot of people don't really like avocados, it's mostly a california/southwest thing which has been popularized by the california-centric media.

Guac is a different story, but if you really liked avocados you wouldn't need to mash it up into a dip and cover up all the flavor with lime. I think the popularity of guac proves how much people don't really avocados at all.

But the meme potential for millennials who don't realize they're millennials is huge!

Shit beer btfo

Sure there's huge craft breweries that are also hurting here, but they can handle it cuz they actually know how to make products. Only the mega brews are really freaking out because all they had was brand loyalty and social pressure (toxic masculinity) making men buy their shit.

But it's definitely good news that microbreweries are growing and growing. Like I said, the $12 4-pack is the future of beer.

I mean, at the most basic level, I follow a Meme page and group on FB where people regularly get banned for edgy memes. Getting "the zucc" or spending 30 days in "facebook jail" is taken as a badge of honor.

This is a good example of the anti-market rigidity of your public-statement-centric philosophy.

Tons of people go on FB just to post dumb shit and get banned. It's meaningless to them if they don't get banned. So how is this fraud, when it's specifically the service these users are seeking from FB?

It's the contradiction of customer service. There will always be people who use a service for opposite reasons. That's why the market is necessary to decide these things. Public claims are just a marketing tactic for your service. If that marketing is fraudulent, then that's wrong but it needs an actual complaint with evidence and judgment to determine that. You can't just point at something you don't think matches the marketing (banning shitposters), because there are a ton of people who DO think it matches the marketing.

If your argument is "Facebook is not engaging in discrimination of conservatives," then we're done

It is your argument but fine, out of scope

My argument is that your "public declarations of non-discrimination" philosophy is so rigid that it leads to the scenarios I listed.

How should a publicly non-discriminating business respond to a suicide vest guy ordering coffee?

Uh, yeah. Libertarianism has never condoned fraud or blatant false advertising. No business should be allowed to claim it serves everyone, while simultaneously refusing to serve any black person who happens to walk in.

It's not about refusing all black people, it's about refusing ONE black person.

Under your philosophy, there is NO REASON that the business can use to refuse an individual, after making a claim of non-discrimination. Wearing a MAGA hat is definitely not a reason. If they come in and start bothering your customers, too bad. Walking in with an AK and a suicide vest? Pour them a cup of coffee while the SWAT team is on the way.

This is the power you believe society deserves over businesses that you claim discriminate politically, with admittedly no proof. You're calling for legal seizure after accusing racism when there's not a single black person refused from the business, because of your imagination. How can you not see how exactly SJW this behavior is?

This is in direct response to the "Irish weren't white until the 1900s" accusation.

He has a ton more such examples for Jews specifically, on Twitter, which didn't make it into the article.

What is the implication? That if 1 Irish person was accepted or 1 Jew was accepted then that invalidates the millions of Irish/Jews in various periods of history that were deemed non-white? It's like saying that black KKK member proves the KKK isn't racist.

That's the entire point of whiteness as a social construct - white people get to decide who is white, whenever they want, for any reason. They are the gatekeepers. They can let people in and kick them out whenever it's convenient. During mass Irish/Italian immigration to the US, whites decided they were not white. That's the fact.

And the problem with racism is that it stains history so strongly. Even 100 years after a racist period the effect is still felt. And certainly you won't convince the discriminated Irish that they were always white because TJ had an Irish buddy. Is this the white dream? To point to Michael Jackson and Barrack Obama and claim racism never happened?

Point me to 1 Irish/Italian/Jew who agrees with this """skepticism""" and then I will consider it.

New DWMF up

https://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/2018/08/01/no-libertarians-are-not-compelled-to-support-social-media-censorship/

What authority do you have to speak about libertarianism anymore?

Plus, the argument is so weak. All it takes is the sites admitting that they do censor various content, which many of the sites have done (reddit, twitter, fb) and presented as a positive feature. Boom, now you are obligated to support the censorship. You're also okay with forcing any business that makes any non-discrimination claim (cake bakers, restaurants, etc) to do whatever you want. Maybe the state could seize them to avoid fraud? What a nice "libertarian" justification for state-owned bakeries.

Though it does explain why you support openly censored communities like TD and the copycat alternatives to reddit/twitter (vort? pip? which do definitely exist in the market and are very successful among those who aren't welcome on the mainstream sites).

Aw they disabled their white supremacist pissing contest of a comments thread.

It's a good idea though, the whole premise of the article is that whiteness is not a social construct and Italians/Irish/Jews were clearly always white, but their commenters would've obliterated that notion.

Although they admitted it themselves by conspicuously omitting Jews. Not to mention the rabid white victimization of people like George Zimmerman and Ted Cruz.

It still boggles my mind how people can write so many words from such a basic and obvious fallacy. Dumbass people reading it and sharing it like some epic takedown makes sense, it's just intellectual porn, but writing it... such a strange skill.

if you don't want someone to point out that your economic beliefs are similar to the ones the nazis held, then get better economic beliefs

Or (and this is the key innovation of modern nationalism) pretend anyone who says that is lying and was paid to antagonize you. This way you can denounce socialism in the same breath that you praise it, and just offload the cognitive dissonance onto the conspiracy. If someone was paid to shut you up it's impossible that you're wrong.

The difference concerns only the application of these ideologies to the special problems of Germany

This is where all modern western politics has been fought for decades though. Big central government socialism is a given, it's just whether it benefits "me" or "them". And also how digestible the methods are (which is where Nazis were uniquely bad in their marketing).

This is why "the right" can so easily be neocons and nationalists even though they are deeply socialist ideologies. It was never the socialism that was the problem - that's too big of an idea to oppose. It was just "them" getting benefits and not "me". (It also doesn't matter who actually benefits, just what the rhetoric claims.) Alt-right just means that you have an unsavory definition of "me" and "them". That's all there is to it.

Season 3 is like someone read a wikipedia summary of season 2 and decided to make a season. Season 4 is like someone overheard in a bar the general concept of the show and tried to make a season.

S4 is definitely the wikipedia season because they constantly rely on previous gags that definitely should not have been brought back.

And yeah the video game episode did not work at all... none of the animated episodes do tbh. I get why they made them but still.
