I believe in some of it but the show goes too far. Like, I think think aliens could have been here. But the show thinks aliens had a role in every fucking thing that ever happened .

While I agree with you, raised as a Christian from childhood and being taught and explained to what the fantastic events took place when Gods people in the OT met with angelic creatures, the concept of it being aliens seems less far fetched as an adult. I guess thats why I personally find it entertains. Theyve basically replaced the Christian God with extraterrestrials.

that has no bearing on whether or not the position of a landlord is fundamentally an exploitative one

not inherently, at least. this is correct. but that doesn't mean they're not exploitative.

I can talk about other businesses being exploitative too if you want

You said as a class of people they are inherently exploitative. As in landlords only exist to exploit. Landlord are providing a service; X amount of dollar a month for a worry free residence. Theyre nothing more exploitative about providing a good and service for payment unless every business that does so is being exploitative.

But yes business can certainly be exploitative. And unless I misunderstanding your point, I dont its that landlords are guilty of it than any other type of businesses.

I feel like the people they interview are serious but the producers do it for the entertainment

Yeah. I definitely think theres people who believe in the concept of ancient extraterrestrial influence in humans development on the show. But the way they present it, is entertaining whether you believe the concept or not.

the nature of individual landlords is irrelevant to their fundamentally exploitative position as a class of people

No. Not everyone rents because they have to. Landlords are no more exploitative than other business that provides a good or service unless you just want to play dense for the sake of posting a false but emotional response to some random post on the internet.

I'll agree that Gen Z never having existed without the internet and the technology surrounds it, means yeah, they have a different handle on it. I was 23 before I ever got on the internet. And then it was purely for entertainment. As the internet has expanded it has become of engrained in our everyday life. Both my boys do their homework on their Mac books instead of a notebook and pen.

And a lot of the projects they do center around using the internet to gather information. Which the old man in me is like "in my day we had actual encyclopedias we had to look up stuff in" lol. But honestly it's good thing schools are embracing new technology. Because it's not going anywhere. It will only change in more complex and vast ways. So it's good for them to be prepared for the future.

I've never heard this stereotype. But as a father of two Gen Z boys they have both far surpassed their old man in most everything because they both have the smarts and tenacity to educate themselves, gets skills and, one for sure, wants to go to college. I have a 16 year old at home now, wanting a job, saying he is capable of working part time for his own money and keeping up his grades. He's had three job interviews so far. A few of his friends have already went to job interviews themselves.

And about 2 years ago my son started his own dog walking buisness by putting cards in people's hands or doors advertising his services and rates so he could afford to buy a PS4 Pro. (Which I ended up getting a great deal on it on black friday last year and gave it to him for Christmas even though he had 3/4 of the money already saved himself.)

If anything Gen Z seems to be more focused on getting ahead in life and planning for their future on their own merits than any of the existing generations now. I think if I live long enough to see it, we will see big things in society and technology thanks to Gen Z.

Should I not care about direct donations of thousands/millions to anti-gay causes because the money comes from a chicken restaurant? What work is that doing to make it something that I shouldn't care about? Would it be okay to care if it was a weapons manufacturer or a suit maker?

Personally I don't think anyone is directly responsible for what a company does with money you give them to pay for a good or service they provided for you. No more than an employer is responsible to make sure you spend your paycheck according to their morals. But each person is free to go whichever way they want. Buy or don't buy their chicken sandwich.

They dont make them. The workers do and they take the profits from that labor.

And they have the capital to pay the workers to do the work to make the product. Lots of good ideas may never make it to finished product because said person has no capital to get the idea off the ground, get it prototyped and patented.

The government is also the entity in charge of overseeing taxation and the financial sector.

To your first point, it's not that billionaires should be obligated to fix problems it's that they shouldn't be able to gather that amount of wealth to begin with.

Is your brother in law a billionaire?

If not then I'm not sure what he has to do with anything ITT

And the government overseeing taxation and the financial sector should be to make sure all are taxed equally and their wealth is gotten legally.

Well just agree to disagree. Because you start at billionaires and then you just keep working your way down the ladder till youve got everyone stagnant at the wealth cap you arbitrarily set that works with your moral compass.

Thats not how equality works. Thankfully. Equality is giving everyone an equal start. What each individual is able to accomplish with that start is what makes America great. And I wouldnt want that changed just because Im not a billionaire.

I think I need a drink. Almost everybody does only they don't know it. -- Charles Bukowski

The biggest problem with the anti-rich people is their assumption (and you know what they say about those) that the rich are morally obligated to fix Americas issues with their money.

The American government is who is obligated to fix Americas problems. Thats why we the people vote for the politicians we want to see make the changes that we want to see.

And the last point of lunacy with this thinking is where do we begin? Does my brother in law who makes more than 200k a year rich? Sure the fuck is to me. Should he give up his wealth because I dont make 250k a year? The government should not be taking peoples money. The government should be making sure that the rich got rich by their own means. As in not buying politicians or not being taxed equally as the rest of us. If indeed those are happening.

I can't speak for other people, but I wasn't bothered by the episode this week and I agree with them that trans athletes are just too strong to compete in women's events (not a very controversial opinion really). Even so it's still fair to analyze and criticize the show, it doesn't mean you hate it or that you're upset. The only thing that upsets me about south park is how stale randy's manchild/marijuana stuff got

Thats fair enough. And I think some people here are just discussing and critiquing.

Im just dumbfounded that theres people in here acting surprised or offended that SP made fun of transgendered people in comical way as a way to make a statement. As in anyone thinking some demographic is off limits to SP creators is just being naive.

TC I would honestly talk to your discriminated coworker. Let them know that you are willing to go with them to HR, go to HR yourself, etc before doing anything on their behalf. There is a fine line between taking the initiative and stepping over the line. It seems obvious that this is bothering your coworker, which is understandable. But why hasn't your coworker done something about it on their own? There maybe a reason that you are not even aware of.

Just food for thought.

Not really a spinoff, but takes place in the same universe at close enough proximity that Earl characters like Patty the Hooker occasionally pop in. Actors like Jason Lee, Ethan Supple and Jaime Pressley play new recurring characters.

Surprising I've never heard of it. Maybe because I didn't watch MNiE when it was airing but off of Netflix instant. I'll have to find a way to watch this then.

Hey, "Millennials" has been used in a derogatory way far before "Ok Boomer" has been.

And even then it wasn't boomers spamming Millenial" as a negative remark. The whole meme between boomers and millenials is stupid an not funny because boomers aren't in the equation. A meme is funny when it makes a true observation and turns it on it's head in a funny way. Like communism memes. Ok boomer seems like the younger generation just looking for attention on the internet. If any boomer is on the internet it's probably only Facebook. And that I even doubt is any large amount.

I know it will sound insensitive and maybe it is, but if you are crying at work over stress, then maybe move on? I have had stressful jobs. One bad enough that I sought a therapist outside of work and even had a few panic attacks. And it was why I got out of that job. Neither men or women should be crying at work due to stress. That says a far more about that particular place of employment than it does anything being inherently sexist or not in society for how both sexes handle stress.

I love how every time the media complains about Millennials killing something, it's something that needed to go anyway.

Millennials arent killing businesses thatare already dying. Millennials dont want to go to X corporate restaurant because of Big this or that is after their money. So rather than walk in a chain restaurant for a burger theyll go to a good truck who has no standards and has never been assessed by the FDA. If anything millennials are killing themselves with their paranoia and aversion to corporate products. Hence why craft beer is so popular.
