Threatening to shoot the sitting president of the united states especially for vague unexplained reasons seems like a really bad idea.

Funny they should mention Watergate as I'm sure that whole thing started when one presidential candidate wanted someone else to spy and gather information on their opponent.

The irony of these shirts being mass produced was evidently lost on their consumer base. I want a shirt that says "normal people in 'normal people scare me' shirts scare me".

You wouldn't think you could get over a million subscribers from crushing poo poo, but there you go. There's a competing channel too. Goddammit, I said something flippantly to my husband the other day that I bet some crazy people come back and complain that Are Cops didn't get honored at the convention. It's even more ridiculous because part of the speech specifically mentioned how much respect they have for most cops.

bean_shadow posted:Enough for now but believe me when I say these type of posts go for pages on her main FB page. Oh, and one more piece of irony: she's a nurse. But from what I've seen, nurses believe in the biggest homeopathy mumbo jumbo. From last page, but holy poo poo is this ever true. There's a nurse that I know from pulling shifts at one of our local emergency rooms who brought her 3 year old to a loving chiropractor for his eczema. When she finished telling me this horror story, I asked when the state is going to be removing him for child endangerment. Nurses are loving incredible sometimes.

So many times my mother, who is a retired nurse, tries to think she knows just as much as doctors do. I know it's kinda mean sounding but really she was the one who pulled the "Depression is just you being a big saddy, just don't be sad" when I got first diagnosed.

My mom has been a nurse for 30+ years and does the same thing. I think they just see the same patients and treatments getting done for so long and then latch onto anything that could possibly be new and helpful. No matter how dumb it is.

My kokum was a nurse, but while she has her eccentricities, she is pretty good about medical stuff. Once she told me about how when she went to a doctor (who she called a "turban person," not out of malice or anything, just that is the term she has always used.) She rolled off everything he needed to know, and he asked if she used to be a doctor. She then gushed over the phone to me about how handsome this turban person was. I just like talking about her.

Ok Fella posted:Mom thinks i should respect women. should i? You should really only respect people who EARN that respect.* That doesn't mean DISrespecting people who have not yet had the opportunity to do so -- rather that you give people some "benefit of the doubt," a qualified, wary, probationary or provisional "trust but verify" -- that is you treat them civilly and allow them to demonstrate/prove/earn "respect" (or more commonly, it's opposite). There are however a couple of QUICK indicators that will help you identify people who do not, and will not earn "respect" -- and that is anyone who DEMANDS to be "respected" prior to providing any proof, or who (absent any actions or history, i.e. any demonstration that they are "deserving" of respect) proceeds to noisily spout several and various "assurances" that they will "earn" it (if you just give them "a chance" -- or having made mistakes demand "another chance"). * And then even still you must be CAUTIOUS of overextending that "respect" (or indeed even "disrespect") into areas of life & character that it has not (yet) been demonstrated or proven or "earned." To wit: someone may have proven themselves to be quite competent, dependable, reliable, fair & honest in performing work as say a "plumber" or "electrician" or "car mechanic" -- but, alas, that does not necessarily mean the persons' judgment or character will prove to be the same in other things, say investment advice, or their behavior when "out on the town." This principle -- of not over-extending -- applies to everyone, including your friends, as well as parents (and teachers, future bosses & co-workers, etc). But the idea that a particular category of humans should -- by default, and by virtue of their having some "physical bodily feature" (in this case the possession of a "vagina") -- be given some EXTRA level of "respect"... ...is fundamentally ABSURD. Note that what your mother is REALLY saying -- implying -- is that people WITH vaginas (women) should be "respected" -- and that means she is ALSO (whether she consciously realizes it or not), saying -- implying -- that people WITHOUT vaginas (i.e. men) should NOT be "respected." In fact she is -- by default -- DISRESPECTING the entire male gender (including you); she is attempting to "brainwash" you into being a drone/slave of women. IMO that kind of behavior, or mindset, or attitude is -- in and of itself -- demonstrably NOT worthy of respect.

He never adds context or discussion outside of his unsourced quotes and occasionally creates confusion when someone comes in and responds to him seriously (which most goons seem to love). Like the gimmick or not it's clearly a gimmick. Some people get so broken by threads on this site they never really heal. LoB is one of many casualties of the golden days of the TVTropes thread.

That's because anything posted on Reddit, at least in certain subs, automatically goes to the front page, and user sub is just for things directly submitted to imgur. I think.

If the earth was flat we wouldn't have so many hosed up map projections/models. Also, and I hate that I'm engaging with the idea, but where do they think the edges are? And how do they think planes work when they fly east to get west etc. I'm sure that the FAA et al is in on the conspiracy so I guess I just need an answer to the first question.

fullroundaction posted:Also, and I hate that I'm engaging with the idea, but where do they think the edges are? Behind mountains, way out in oceans, behind gubmint fences--places you can't visit for one reason or another. And the conspiracy is so huge that they can intercept you if you try sneaking over a mountain or under a fence. And it's dangerous to go near the edges because you might fall off. And they're really far away so you can't get there anyway.

How far the ice extends; how it terminates; and what exists beyond it, are questions to which no present human experience can reply. All we at present know is, that snow and hail, howling winds, and indescribable storms and hurricanes prevail; and that in every direction ‘human ingress is barred by unsealed escarpments of perpetual ice,’ extending farther than eye or telescope can penetrate, and becoming lost in gloom and darkness.

Do flat Earth believers universally believe that we've also never sent a satellite to space and photographed the Earth? Or is it like a 50/50 split between that and believe that all space stuff at all is in on the conspiracy. I don't even understand how our evil overlords are meant to benefit from belief in a round Earth.

Question Mark Mound posted:I don't even understand how our evil overlords are meant to benefit from belief in a round Earth. This is what always gets me. It's always such backwards thinking, like the numerology stuff earlier, or the 9/11 stuff. People see "clues", and they extrapolate from that that there's something going on. What is going on, that's as far as it ever gets. Why, now, that's way beyond the limit. It's never the other way around, like: RESOLVED, I am an Illuminati/Freemason/Rothschild/Antichrist, and I want the following things to happen. What's the easiest way for me to make them happen? Do things like planting numbers in Biblical translations or setting up elaborate hoaxes about moon landings or terrorist attacks help me in any way? No? Well then why the gently caress would I do them? Let me just do this much easier thing instead.
