    This robs people of their individual context. The UK Prime Ministers wife is Indian and astonishingly privileged. You are suggesting a poor mine worker from Romania is somehow more privileged based on how he looks.

    Lumping people into loose categories (particularly based on skin colour) and then prescribing loose values to them is fascist and racist.

    Why is ‘race’ relevant here? What the fuck is wrong with Americans and how did they become so astonishingly self flagellating.

    That said… this sounds like one of those fantasy scenarios where “then everyone clapped”.

    Just on the insecure posture of this tweet, I’m prepared to bet cold hard cash that he asked her for clarity or something with a informational challenge “but does x not come from y?” Or whatever and she manufactured his reasoning and the rest to feel good. She doesn’t seem to know what et al means either.



  • Movie studios pay unimaginable money to learn what people want. It is a constant, year round expenditure for them. Their information and data suggests that while a vocal minority may be fed up with remakes, people still fervently buy them, have very short memories and seem to go bananas for any shred of nostalgia bait.

    Remakes are as a result an incredibly safe bet, they are less expensive and less risk, which in financial terms is a green light. Until they aren’t either of those things and they carry more risk, they will continue to be pedalled out.

    ALL Leftists according to rightists: “all I want is basic needs met, obviously anyone who doesn’t grant a toddler universal basic income, and free on demand sex change surgery and accompanying hormones is obviously a nazi. Also, fuck white people, fuck men, fuck anyone in an incumbent demographic category. Simply by being male and white you should immediately pay reparations for daring to exist. Anyone who even asks about any of these subjects is committing a crime and should never be allowed to speak again. Also it’s illegal to not be attracted to fat people”

    ALL Rightists according to leftists: “Anyone who I’m too stupid to understand shouldn’t exist. There is no middle ground or grey area on anything, it’s my way or the highway. All minorities shouldn’t exist at all, no one should exist who doesn’t conform to my specific set of arbitrary values. Anyone who says otherwise is a communist and hates themselves. Literally everyone must die. The police never make mistakes and any form of authority must be taken as 100% true at face value”

    Centrists: “you both seem extremely closed-minded and I’m struggling to come to any conclusion other than being extreme is bad, and that these are complex subjects. I will try to focus on not being extreme.”

    Yeah anyone can write literally anything you fucking idiots

    Edit: how you know you were right - butthurt downvotes without accompanying replies







  • I have been discussing operating systems online for decades. I use macOS and windows daily and have no preference. I no longer regularly run a linux distro unless you count android but I have done in the past.

    Every single encounter I have had online where someone says “why mac” or “why would you use a mac” is EXACTLY the same setup for some sort of opinion troll, flame or arguing the toss. In this instance, you can see from the posters history that they are a linux dork.

    So, I’m absolutely sick of seeing these flamebait, low effort replies to posts. I’m additionally absolutely sick of people jumping to conclusions about something that clearly isn’t fucking clear and then having the impotent audacity to whine about it

    Challenging someone as to why they are using a specific OS, particularly with the lack of further descriptive language or questioning, is obviously not relevant to what OP was discussing. OP was discussing something somewhat distressing for them as well, so even on an empathy basis it wasn’t a particularly helpful or pleasant thing to say.
