mm yes, harley quinn, that noted important story-driving character who is not characterized by her relationship with a male character

I don't think this is being an idiot. In the article she's saying that she doesn't want to be a cliché anymore. At 25, after doing some popular roles, she can be more discerning in what she choose. I think that's great.

Oh I definitely don't think she's an idiot, I just thought it was funny and we don't really have a "dumb/ironic poo poo on social media" thread.

You really want to know?

The OP is the one on my friend's list. The guy who wouldn't shut up is her boyfriend. She was the one liking all of them.

I've seen a ton of his dialogue before and he ALWAYS talks like this. He'll occasionally post something normal, but he just launches into these impenetrable screeds at the slightest provocation. I think he wants to seem "sophisticated", so he speaks in the most pretentious manner possible.

Fair enough. But a follow up question: Do you reckon she read that insane pretentious wall of text, or did she just automatically like them?

I mean, is she as crazy as him, is she just humouring him, or does she buy into the more words = more smarter crap he is selling?

I'd guess the latter. She really does seem to love it when he goes off on incredible rants or tries some pretentious "poetry" flirting that reads almost as badly. As you can see at the very end, he occasionally slips up and starts posting normal comments on stuff, so it's pretty apparent that he's speaking like this intentionally instead of naturally. She doesn't talk like him in the slightest.

Yeah, the whole point of posting a wall of text like that is so that you can accuse anyone who disagrees with you of not reading it all or being too stupid to understand it. "If you'd actually read what I wrote, you'd see that I countered your exact argument, but clearly rational discussion is beyond you. Why don't you try getting an education and leave the debate to people who actually know what they're talking about? But of course you won't, because it's easier for sheep like you to just dismiss things you don't understand. Moron."

Like right now they think they are right to stand up to those "filthy perverts" and such, but then I begin to wonder how people who thought that pesky Rosa Parks should have just shut her trap and moved to the back of the bus must feel now. In 10 or so years from now when no-one really gives a flying gently caress about transgender people peeing where they want to, will the people posting such stupid poo poo be self-aware enough to say to themselves "jeez, I really got that all wrong"?

I was listening to NPR last weekend and the fundie radio host guest said "better than the wrong side of eternity". This was a piece about the rise of Trump and how much he hates the hijacking of the GOP. He's probably going to vote Trump this Nov.

Most people are terrible.

No, you see now they can do it legally because they will pretend to be trans, and the liberal, leftist, war on christmas scum that is the police/judiciary in America can't do anything against them cos they are scared of being called transphobic.

Almost universally, those on the wrong side of history are furious until the day they die that history didn't stop for them. People who were mad about desegregation in the 60s are still mad about it today. Like - keeping it on topic - Donald Trump's old butler:


82 years old and still as horrifyingly racist as ever.

The BBC article on this dude says that he apparently also warns Obama to get hanged in front of the "white mosque".

Also he said that Trump likes his steak so well done it rocks on his plate. loving Trump, man.

They're plants, Wikipedia says Typha but I swore I've heard them called Corndog Grass because of that thing they grow. It's basically the plant to go with swamps. So I get to see a ton of them living in Florida.

I've always just heard "cat tail."

They are edible though, but not the corndog looking part. But if you tear that part open they're full of what almost looks like cotton and it makes excellent tinder for starting fires while camping/surviving.
