Topic | Seth Rogen doesn't understand comedians who complain about cancel culture |
pistachio12 05/26/21 7:31:51 PM #237 | Clutch posted... Hes naive if thats how he thinks it works. The Twitter mob isnt going to be placated by oh that joke aged terribly. Who are the Twitter mob? How many people are in it? How do they work cohesively? You're falling into the same trap he is talking about. |

pistachio12 05/26/21 7:15:40 PM #226 | Clutch posted... I dont think they mind if people might find their jokes offensive. They do offensive comedy after all. The issue is when the Twitter morality police attempt to silence them. Seth Rogen is quite literally countering that: To me when I see comedians complaining about this kind of thing, I dont understand what theyre complaining about. If youve made a joke thats aged terribly, accept it. And if you dont think its aged terribly, then say that. |

pistachio12 05/26/21 7:00:36 PM #220 | Clutch posted... No, youve spent a lot of time coming up with excuses for why people should feel entitled to get offended by a joke. This topic is very much about the opposite - comedians feeling entitled that people find their jokes offensive. |
Topic | GOP pushing for a bill to ban teaching of slavery |
pistachio12 05/23/21 1:04:05 AM #112 | Broseph_Stalin posted... I don't even think a partisan state legislature should be in charge of developing a curriculum so it's laughable to say I'm defending them. Are they developing the curriculum or merely dictating the scope of said curriculum? Edit: actually let me change this. Was there anyone in Texas legislation dictating that the curriculum in the state should include the 1619 project to thus require the legislation from the GOP? |

Topic | Republicans are now claiming the AP is working with Hamas . |
pistachio12 05/18/21 1:27:53 AM #35 | Atralis posted... The situation is that Hamas is trying to kill as many Israelis as they can, civilians included and they've killed about 10 people. If Israel wanted to do the same in Gaza they would drive away and then fire a dozen nukes at the region and kill every living person in the entire territory. From what I've read, their first barrage of rockets killed no one. Israel then responded with their own missile attacks and killed far more people. Israel has struck hospitals and killed 20x more people than the Israelis. |
Topic | Binged all of Invincible in one sitting. I owe this show an apology. *spoilers* |
pistachio12 05/15/21 11:26:36 AM #25 | uwnim posted... Yeah, that part I didn't like much. That scene made it seem like she actually didn't know instead of knowing but being pissed off about his constant lying. Agreed. The only aspect I didn't like about her character, and it's more about the writing than her. |
Topic | Caitlyn Jenner Backs Bans on Trans Girls Competing in Female Sports |
pistachio12 05/02/21 11:32:07 PM #311 | KamenRiderBlade posted... Are we? I think we're more similar than we are dis-similar. This is the same type of bullshit used years ago with marriage. "Let's just call everything civil unions!" But it's clear from your posts that there's a lot of misogyny within your views here. |
Topic | Fox News making a big deal over Biden picking a dandelion for his wife. |
pistachio12 05/02/21 5:00:55 PM #120 | sutree posted... I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for 400, Alex. Instead of acting holier than thou, you could have just stated from the start: "Trump never told people to inject bleach, he just brought it up as a possible remedy on national television in a press conference designed to inform the general public about the coronavirus." |

Topic | Fox News making a big deal over Biden picking a dandelion for his wife. |
pistachio12 05/02/21 4:21:29 PM #104 | sutree posted... You: *Posts video of Trump talking to a physician about effects of sunlight and disinfectant on the virus and how they might be used in the body, that medical doctors are "looking into", and never tells anyone to do anything* And you are saying that others are misrepresenting the video? This comment makes it seem like Trump sat down to have a conversation with a doctor about treatments, not Trump giving a rambling press conference that is designed to share information with the general public. |

Topic | U.S.A. denies India's request to lift ban on COVID vaccine raw materials |
pistachio12 04/25/21 9:20:08 AM #29 | Broseph_Stalin posted... I hate being right all the time. What a shit take. 1) Those articles have existed since the beginning. 2) Not all those statements are being said by the same people. 3) The US also has a responsibility to help out the rest of the world for a multitude of reasons. Granted, this situation can be similar to a flight emergency: help yourself before you help those around you. But there isn't a binary here. At what percent of the domestic population fully vaccinated does the US consider it okay to ship vaccines elsewhere? |
Topic | Outside of New York state and Mass, New England doesn't seem that great. |
pistachio12 04/18/21 7:52:17 AM #11 | doomcrusader posted... Second, New Hampshire is the best state in the region, and the best in the country if not for the terrible weather. MA is only better if you like cities (although I personally do not like Boston at all). I'll be the second to lol. New Hampshire is the worst state in New England by far. It's the South of New England. |
Topic | Why does America have to have the worst work world of developed nations? |
pistachio12 04/16/21 11:12:21 PM #40 | Antifar posted... Americans work more hours on average than the Japanese That's not the proper conclusion. From the oecd website where this data originated: The data are intended for comparisons of trends over time; they are unsuitable for comparisons of the level of average annual hours of work for a given year, because of differences in their sources and method of calculation. |

Topic | Here's Your Reminder That 'Friends' Was Really, Really Homophobic |
pistachio12 04/14/21 6:30:50 AM #36 | YourLovelyTina posted...
Yeah this is problematic. You're saying two straight men can't show emotion to each other like that unless they're secretly gay. Maybe we should encourage showing affection to all those around us and not reinforce the belief that love cannot exist between straight friends. |
Topic | A Cop Murders a Black Man in the USA and the Girlfriend Has to Stand Trial |
pistachio12 04/10/21 10:40:23 PM #55 | ADFrench2 posted... no idea You posted this news video yet somehow don't understand why she had to take the stand... did you even watch the video you posted? The prosecution called her to the stand. The prosecution asked her questions about her drug use and Floyd's drug use. Unfortunately there is always a human element to these trials and the goal of the prosecution is to humanize Floyd. To do this, his girlfriend can characterize him directly while also acknowledging drug issues before the defense brings them up. |

Topic | First Black mayor of Boston to unveil 750k fund to help minority businesses |
pistachio12 04/08/21 10:13:44 PM #10 | People could read the article... The $750,000 Boston Contracting Opportunity Fund will award grants of up to $15,000 to businesses looking to build up capacity in order to secure city contracts. Those eligible include women-, minority- and veteran-owned businesses. The fund will open on April 15. So funding to help firms with the contract process and teams to help coordinate the management of applying for contractor jobs. If people think these things are stupid or worthless, they should check out a planet money episode that talks about something similar that happened in Nigeria: Nigeria, You Win. |

Topic | People attacking the 2 Asian senators for demanding Biden nominate Asian cabinet |
pistachio12 03/23/21 7:00:44 PM #4 | Robot2600 posted... Biden's cabinet is pretty dang diverse. Well there is a distinction between members of both communities anyway. People of South Asian descent are not being attacked over the coronavirus, so it is important to have representation of all people. |
