Topic | PSA: no one wants to get rid of any and all law enforcement |
Esrac 06/08/20 7:24:42 AM #6 | thronedfire2 posted... Disbanding a police department doesnt mean they cant make a new one. Idk why people dont understand this. It just lets them get rid of all the bad cops at once and start over with new leadership Because they aren't saying rebuild, restructure, replace, etc. They're saying abolish. Which means to so away with completely. Which has a heavy connotation of permanence. |
Topic | Wtf, why is Keanu Reeves dating an ugly old witch? |
Esrac 06/08/20 12:50:35 AM #52 | Jiek_Fafn posted... He's 55 Jesus. She looks like an elderly grandmother and he looks like a dad. He's some kinda vampire. |
Topic | PSA: no one wants to get rid of any and all law enforcement |
Esrac 06/08/20 12:48:55 AM #2 | The maybe they shouldn't be demanding the police be defunded and abolished. Work on their messaging. |
Topic | Due to SJW backlash, creators removed Elmer Fudd's gun in Looney Tunes remake. |
Esrac 06/08/20 12:47:31 AM #47 | ViewtifulGrave posted... This sounds like the same type of people that got rid of Miss Bellum. Which was unfortunate, since she was probably the most competent person on the show. |

Esrac 06/08/20 12:42:17 AM #28 | Of the students, my favorites are Kirishima and Uraraka. Being voiced by Justin Cook helps a lot. Of the adults, my favorites are All Might and Endeavor. |
Topic | Due to SJW backlash, creators removed Elmer Fudd's gun in Looney Tunes remake. |
Esrac 06/08/20 12:25:43 AM #43 | That's dumb. At least with the gun, you could do some funny gags. Like the one where they bend the barrel back and he shoots himself in the face and he's covered in soot. |
Topic | "Armed Society is a polite society", THIS protest is worst than BLM |
Esrac 06/07/20 7:04:26 PM #11 | UnfairRepresent posted... Thing is. Police aren't going to fuck with 500 people all armed with AR-15s and Glocks. Basically, this is my thought when people try to compare this to the armed conservative protests. Obviously, if your protests consists of a bunch of well armed demonstrators, the police are going to be a lot more hesitant to employ a violent crackdown. |
Topic | White Cops are shown WASHING Black People's FEET as a sign of LOVE and HUMILITY! |
Esrac 06/07/20 7:00:10 PM #41 | This actually isn't the cringiest thing I've seen regarding race relations. That might be a white couple taking turns kissing a group of black men's boots. A little self respect would be nice to see. |
Topic | UK protests topples Statue |
Esrac 06/07/20 6:30:24 PM #9 | TheRealDill2000 posted... Are you going to let us know who he is? Edward Colston (2 November 1636 11 October 1721) was an English slave trader, merchant, philanthropist, and Member of Parliament. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere. His name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. Many of his charitable foundations still survive.[1] His wealth was largely acquired through the trade and exploitation of slaves. |
Topic | UK protests topples Statue |
Esrac 06/07/20 6:28:29 PM #7 | With a quick google search, apparently this Edward Colston contributed a lot to the city of Bristol during his time. Sure, he made money on the slave trade but if he really did so much good for his city that probably deserves some memorialization. |

Topic | I feel like I've almost completely lost my urge to play videogames :/ |
Esrac 06/07/20 12:25:06 PM #3 | I still enjoy playing games, but I can't play as often as I used to. Mostly due to career and kids. So, often times, I'll start playing a game, but have to pause for an extended period of time to wrangle the kids. There is also the problem of too many options. I literally have a backlog of more than 200 games, so trying to decide what to play is paralyzing. Between those factors, it's usually easier to just passively browse the internet than sit down to a game. |
Topic | NYT writer demands whites cut off contact w/ relatives unless they join protests |
Esrac 06/07/20 10:36:53 AM #42 | When you text me and tell me youre just thinking of me because this fear is momentarily evident to you after seeing the atrocities depicted on CNN, you create work for me. You invite me to coddle you and respond to you and tell you that its not your fault and that you are special. That attacks my dignity. That dehumanizes me. When you tell me I can share my feelings with you, it is an act of forced intimacy and prods at the detachment Ive purposefully built up over time. You force me to excavate deeply painful feelings Ive buried for my sanity and to avoid offending you. Because I know offending you is dangerous. When you tell me I dont have to respond, you rob me of the last shred of agency I have in this unwanted exchange by giving me permission to do what I already would have done. This part here is probably the most ridiculous. |

Let's be clear about Coulter abandoning Trump though. She didn't do it out of some moral objection, she did it because she's smart enough to know that he's a blithering idiot that will probably cost her side votes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ySzKyJ3j58A |

Esrac 06/07/20 1:04:25 AM #15 | BabyRoxann posted... I didn't realize the military requires female recruits to wear dresses Don't be obtuse. You know he means that in the military, she would have a strict uniform code to follow and her showing up in defiance of the school dress code is a poor showing in regard to discipline and conformity. Luckily for her, most US military uniforms feature pants. Though of course, exactly what she would be obliged to wear will be determined by her branch of service, her command, and the particular occasion. |

Topic | Honestly these other countries protesting have way more racism than America |
Esrac 06/07/20 12:06:28 AM #51 | Gafemage posted... It's amazing to think how many Americans earnestly believe this, even if TC might not actually be one of them. My impression has been that people in cities and on the coasts often like to think of themselves as more enlightened, intelligent, and civilized than people in the south and midwest. So, it isn't exactly uncommon for them to look down their nose and shit on those dirty, ignorant,, unintelligent, sister-fucking rednecks in their backwoods, hick, fly-over boonies. And, in a similar fashion, europeans often like to look down their nose at the colonies. |
Topic | U.S. Marine Corps bans all use of Confederate flags on bases |
Esrac 06/06/20 10:20:08 PM #31 | Master_Bass posted... Good, indeed. I work for the Navy and I heard one guy complain that they made him take down his confederate flag he had in his office a few years ago. I just face palmed since why the hell would you fly the rebel flag when you work for the US on a US installation? Was it a Chief? |

Topic | Most difficult time you had taking a crap? (surgery or injury?) |
Esrac 06/06/20 10:00:56 PM #15 | This one time, I was really constipated because I'd been drinking a lot of Slim Fast. Apparently Slim Fast dehydrates you pretty badly and I wasn't drinking enough water. So, eventually I had to get my grandma to give me a saline enema. That helped enough that I did start shitting, but half way through the turd went sideways on me. Got lodged in my ass so bad and hurt so much that I fell off the toilet and hit me head on the wall. I had to call for my grandma to come and help me. I was sure I'd have to go to the hospital. What ended up happening was she had to use a finger to break it up for me. |

Risky of her to let her mask slip off in the middle of a pandemic imo She really doesn't have much to lose other than some minor public opinion. She's rich as fuck and her books are crazy popular. I wouldn't expect her fans to give up Harry Potter over her not getting onboard the trans-train anymore than I'd expect OneAngryGamer to give up video games because Sony and Nintendo put out support for BLM. |

Topic | JK Rowling getting Twitter heat for this comment on "sex" |
Esrac 06/06/20 9:31:49 PM #136 | Kaliesto posted... I'm going through the tweets and there is definitely infighting going on with the gays and lesbians either siding with Rowling and others spewing venom at her. I don't really know much myself, but I've heard there's actually been underlying tension between the LGB and the T parts of LGBT for a long while. Especially between lesbians and the transwomen who want to fuck them. Mostly from posts I've seen online from lesbians annoyed over transwomen they know who won't stop trying to sleep with them and transwomen upset that lesbians won't sleep with them. I don't see as much about transmen and gay men, but transmen in general don't seem to get as much airtime as transwomen. |

Esrac 06/06/20 8:56:10 PM #128 | nemu posted... They're of the opinion that they're "men looking to force their ways into women's issues." There seem to be talking points from them about transwomen trying to guilt lesbians into sex, but I don't know if that's an actual thing or just a strawman. So, that's actually a thing I've seen a fair bit of. Though it is a mixture of guilting and shaming. If you look around, you can see hilarious posts by angry transwomen who are upset that lesbians won't have sex with them, accuse them of being transphobic because they aren't interested in a feminine penis, etc. They sound awfully similar to the kind of rhetoric you might find in incel circles. Some Jessica Yaniv-like shit. Granted, confirmation bias. Different corners of the internet can make an issue seem more common than it actually is. |

Esrac 06/06/20 3:35:09 PM #65 | EffectAndCause posted... Not at all, because I never wanted or expected my parents to give me money or property when I die. Im an adult and taking care of myself. I see you ignored everything else I said and focused on one sentence. The rest of it wasn't relevant to the topic of home ownership vs renting. No one cares if your dad was there for you and you had your own job since 16. |

Esrac 06/06/20 2:57:46 PM #57 | EffectAndCause posted... Im sure my landlord would be cool with them taking over the lease if they want it, though if I have adult children they likely already have their own homes. Not if they have your attitude to inspire them. That is the kind of shortsighted attitude that dissuades generational wealth. |

It was even funnier when he posted some video of himself furiously denouncing those companies. It's almost as dumb as that porn thot putting together a list of other porn stars who are apparently racist for not speaking up yet. Didn't even criticize the protests or riots, they just haven't expressed support and adulation yet. |

Esrac 06/06/20 2:40:31 PM #53 | REMercsChamp posted... I live in Canada. It's not the same as the states. You either live in a ridiculously expensive urban area (there's 3 of them) or you live in the middle of fucking nowhere. Ah. I'm sorry to hear that. I'd say you should come to the US and take advantage of the relatively low cost of living, but maybe you don't want to give up the cheaper healthcare. |

Esrac 06/06/20 2:37:54 PM #51 | EffectAndCause posted... Why not? If the place, price and landlord are decent, who cares if I own it for the remaining 20 years of my life I MIGHT have left? Im not taking my house into the afterlife. That makes some sense only if you never expect to leave anything to your children. |

Esrac 06/06/20 2:36:27 PM #48 | REMercsChamp posted... Yeah cool man I'll just pack my life up and move out into the middle of nowhere and get that giant house I've always wanted for $100,000. Thanks bro! Don't be dumb. Your current location isn't so essential to your life that you couldn't move. I was just looking at houses for sale in texas and you find a brick house with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathroom 2600+ soft, backyard with a pool, 3 car garage, etc for $345,000 in Katy, Tx. Katy, Tx being roughly 30 miles from Houston. That is hardly the middle of nowhere and you'll get a much better quality of living than a one bedroom condo for $550,000. |
