Toriori posted:Why is it so difficult for ~Internet celebs~ to just say "my apologies if I offended anyone. It wasn't my intent, and my choice of words was poor so as an adult I will admit that, and will take this all as a learning experience." That's a lot of self-awareness in that post though. You're requiring ~Internet celebs~ to be able to comprehend that it's not some nebulous PC Police deciding that they can't say these words anymore in an effort to make their lives more complicated.

Yeah, I love the whole "PC POLICE"  argument as a deflection from just being an rear end in a top hat. Theres so many other words you can use without putting a group of people down.Maybe that fat slob should get a thesaurus, it's free online.

There were a handful of episodes near the end of Jon's time where Arin seemed like he was getting genuinely mad at Jon, but kept his cool for the show. Lol a black person makes more money than me.

M_Sinistrari posted:If I remember rightly, a lot of the organic pesticides that get used are often more toxic than the synthetic pesticides. I have a friend who works making pesticides and he gets sooooo mad about this stuff. Basically he and his coworkers spend their entire days dedicating millions of dollars in budgets trying to engineer the absolute safest, most specialized and frankly intensely over engineered chemicals on the planet only to have people turn around and curse them for their deadly chemical spraying. And while there are a shitload of problems with pesticides (see: the bee issue) its nothing like how bad it was back in the 1970's which is how most people think pesticides still are. DDT was a huge wakeup call for that industry because contrary to popular belief their goal is to not poison people because dead people or people who get sick from your chemically treated food rarely buy more of those things. I cant imagine what it would be like to be in another fast moving industry and still be judged based on how you did business 45 years ago (Gad dangit IBM, I cant load my Facebook with all these Punchcards!).

DemeaninDemon posted:So you're saying Organic Strawberry should have wads of poo poo listed as an ingredient? The ingredients list for the conventional strawberry consisted of pesticides and fungicides used on it*, so it would only be fair that the organic strawberry would have the ones used there. Although, even then, having them be listed as "ingredients", as opposed to "pesticides used in production", implies that the fruit consists entirely of pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. It would also help to have the total amounts used, and amounts per fruit, just as a comparison. If the image maker is trying to say that nothing was applied to keep insects, pest animals, and blight away from the organic crops... they're either lying, wholly mistaken, or else these fields were decimated before harvest time. *: No sources are used for what's standard for strawberry crops, so the list could have been invented whole cloth.

The word has zero actual value anymore. Organic has pretty specific definitions in terms of the food industry, and there are bodies governing who can call their food organic based on certification for their processes. There are downsides too though. Organic certified dairy farms can't give their sick stock antibiotics, or don't allow them to be milked after being cleared of treatment. Generally speaking non-producing stock on dairy farms don't last long.

Buzkashi posted:He is still going, basically using every "person who has no idea how to argue" trick in the book Holy poo poo the girl who posted the article deleted the thread but the loving idiot messaged me: quote:Because Lily has closed the thread I will message you my response. The main issue with this conversation is that I have attempted to use reasons and evidence to make my arguments while you have relied on opinion and emotional appeals. Arguments are correct or incorrect based on the evidence supporting them. You can’t simply disagree, that is like disagreeing that 2+2=4. It does or it does not, there is no opinion. Arguments must be generally applicable to all industrialized men and women for them to be valid in this context. As soon as you bring you or me into the arguments personally, the argument is invalid. When you talk about my attention or my meaning, you are both attacking me personally and not making an argument. “Your posts drip with male privilege” this has no argumentative meaning and is only a personal attack on me. We can’t have a civil argument if you are attacking me personally. “You seem perfectly comfortable speaking for women so I didn't think it unreasonable to take your opinions to their logical conclusion.” If you recognize what I am saying as an opinion then you recognize that there is no argument present and therefor no need to evaluate or respond. "Women don't want this because they enjoy using their sexuality to manipulate men" is an argument. It is based on the evidence that women spend extensive time and money on enhancing their sexual appeal. Fashion, makeup, exotic hair, painted nails these are entire multibillion dollar industries dedicated to, and profiting from women’s desire to enhance their appeal. If the argument is flawed please explain how so. How many logical fallacies are in this, jesus christ

I had to abandon my original account there because some dude I pissed off was downvoting all of my comments to -6 as soon as I would make them. For people who don't know how it works there, each account can only downvote a given comment or picture one single time, so this guy had at least eight ghost accounts to downvote people's content out of existance. People take the internet way too loving serious.

Three days ago I made this lighthearted, funny status update about people who talk way too much about the Gaza conflict. Good times were had, Goatse jokes were made, we even made light of how hosed up the world is. All well and good, right? hahahaha nope, here comes my psychotic, humorless libertarian friend from high school to poo poo things up while I'm asleep.  That talk about fashion is not a throwaway comment because this is his profile picture.
