I don't think anybody in this thread pisses me off nearly as much as Tinsley, and his comics are hilariously mild compared to the sort of content that gets posted here. But he somehow picks the most perfect words to be as simultaneously stupid and hateful as humanly possible.

Tinsley summing up the conservative argument line perfectly: white men are oppressed (and nobody else is). "All that 'racism' you hear about minorities suffering isn't actually real. Neither is the 'oppression' they allegedly face. But everything minorities do that I don't like? That's REAL racism."

Surprise! It was a privately arranged separate event that students attend in addition to the main commencement, and is a thing done for or by black students at any number of universities. Has been for years. Not considered remotely controversial. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Jun 1, 2017 |

if i ever found a genie lamp one of my wishes would be the eradication of the entire 'could you IMAGINE what would happen if THE OTHER SIDE tried doing this??!??!?!' mentality on all spectrums. it's an incredibly stupid thing to point out and it drives me crazy because it is the most 'pat your own back, gee don't we have it rough' bullshit in modern political discourse

It is the same poo poo with the all female screening of Wonder Women shitheads were complaining about earlier in the week. They just don't get that oppressed groups like to do things with other members of their oppressed group to avoid their oppressors and to celebrate their accomplishments as a group. When white people want a whites only anything it is only because they hate non-whites. There is no other reason for it that I can think of. What is infuriating to me is just how many people buy this "woe is me, it's not fair I can't do whites/men/straights/etc only things" horseshit.

Is there a reason for a two week delay at this point outside of previous professional courtesy Because every other competent cartoonist can put up a covfefe cartoon within 24 hours If it takes two weeks for a political cartoon to be relevant, then maybe the slow paced ones aren't relevant ever outside of a past-themed echo chamber of ideas which reinforce lovely past talking points? Idk I'm just spitballing the idea that everyone currently cartooning beyond a same-or-next-day basis should loving retire

The only 2 week delays I can think of in this thread are Drinky Duck and possibly Prickly City - both of which are syndicated newspaper comic strips like Garfield, which through very strong custom or possibly contractual obligation have to have a backlog and therefore a delay. When Morrie Turner of Wee Pals died, his strip ran for another 6 months. Heaven forefend anything get in the way of more great "covfefe" content though.

Sometimes I think if you could someone fix equivalency arguments then racism would be fixed, either as a result or as a corollary.

Racism/sexism/bigotry from whites and males doesn't exist to these people since if it did it would mean their "team" was bad. Le Bron just had a racial slur spray painted on his house and in the comments you can see tons of people working out ways that it's not racist since it just can't be or how the noose left in the African American museum in DC obviously is a false flag from BLM. Bigotry is fictional so obviously if a bunch of women want to see a movie without having dudes around or black people want their own event it's JUST as bad as segregation enforced by the justice system and armed police. This country has tried to white wash its history so badly that you have people that refuse to even consider reality.

The opposite of reality. All these literal religions that understand the bible like a literal text are outdated. In 2017 you can't go around and believe earth is 6000 years old. Is just too ignorant a opinion. And theres no need to. Is nice when religion and science are not pit against each other. It save some useless unproductive fighting. It only require to understand the bible like a moral compass and not literal things that happened. All these protestant sects need to get out of the cavern and look at the new era we live, with computers, machines that flight to space and radiocarbon 14 dating. Your religion sucks if have a problem with this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating

However, evolution has been accepted by the Vatican since 1950 and the big bang theory was first formulated by a Catholic priest, Georges Lemaitre, who also calculated expansion of the universe and the Hubble constant before Hubble did.

I know teachers don't like them (and some schools here in Chicago have banned them) because they end up just distracting kids in class.

Ramos posted:So is there any reason why fidget spinners are pissing off the old people beyond it's the new hip but silly toy in town? Because nerds have taken them to an obnoxious level. There's ones that are purposefully noisy, that have flashing lights, and other poo poo like that. If it was just the basic mostly-silent spinners, I doubt the olds would have even noticed. It's not like fidget cubes got much press from them.

KillerQueen posted:I know teachers don't like them (and some schools here in Chicago have banned them) because they end up just distracting kids in class. My wife is a school counselor at a school that banned these and she says they're the worst possible fidget, in that they spin on their own. That means after the initial flick, you don't actually move your fingers around, like you would with any other fidget toy, but you do look down to watch it spin, and yes also they make noise and manufacturers trying to ride the gravy train while it lasts are trying to make them flashier for even more distraction factor. That said I do kind of want one.

I am the type of people that need a fidget spinners, but I don't have one. Instead of playing with a spinner, I steal other people their pens. I don't use pens because I bought a computer in 1981 and since then I have become 100% digital and writing in a piece of paper is like caverns troglodytes technology. So is like all pens in the office slowly migrate to my table. And thats my story. \/ \/ \/ \/ FishBulb posted:They're kind of moderately fun and you can get them dirt cheap on Amazon from Chinese sellers. I don't see how they help with focus and stuff though. The cubes and what not kinda work, like it's fun to fiddle with then when I'm watching tv or something. It works like this: imagine you want to pee, but you can't pee just now, so you need something to distract yourself from that feeling. That what a spinner do for a person that need a spinner. Except is not pee, is I don't know, wetware stuff. Tei fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jun 1, 2017 |

The cubes and what not kinda work, like it's fun to fiddle with then when I'm watching tv or something. At the beginning of the year, I allowed them in my classroom because a few kids with ADHD had them and it seemed to work for them. Then in the last month, everybody showed up with one and I had to start confiscating them because the kids would, for example, spin them and then drum them on desks or notebooks, they'd pop the bearings out and play with them, and of course the theft issue. So next year, if it's still a fad, I'm only allowing them for kids with a documented diagnosis and a parents' note.

Having something to do with their hands can keep them from being distracted.
