WampaLord posted:Context matters. If you write a 1,000+ word post defending the airlines from an accusation of being lovely to poor people, it definitely comes across as "gently caress the poor." From this perspective you are always letting the lowest common denominator dictate the tone and direction of the discussion and that's dumb. Sorry, if one side is screaming "WHY WON'T YOU STOP HATING POOR PEOPLE! OH WOW YOU TOOK TIME AWAY FROM MURDERING BUNNIES TO WRITE A RESPONSE" and one side is like "actually there are tons of factors that go into ticket prices and two inches of leg room is just not worth the money it would cost, which would make flying less accessible anyway", the ranting side doesn't get to just unilaterally shift the context at their unmedicated whimsy.

My friends have a drinking game about it. It's creepy and sad, like your animal porn. I not only think that's not true, but it's entirely beside the point of what I recommended to you.

Did you know they only made $2 billion in profit? ONLY 2 BILLION DOLLARS? Won't someone please think of the poor airlines?

Yeah, unfortunately for you, my investment caps at recommending to you that you get therapy because your approach to other people strongly indicates that you are not a happy person, and I don't think that this avenue leads you to a place where you will be happy with how you have experienced your life.

I'm trying, I'm trying so hard to find the sympathy for them, but it just ain't coming. If it's such a bad profit margin, they're free to go run other companies, I'm sure someone would step in and claim the mere 2 billion dollars.

To shamelessly copy whatever clickbait website that came up on my google search of 'latest marketing fails': Even big brands can make blunders. A German gentleman had the misfortune (or fortune?) of being redirected to a hardcore porn website when he scanned the QR code on the back of a Heinz bottle. This happened because the company let the website expire and then an even ‘saucier’ organisation bought the domain name. Your meal is ready!

You're like that girl everyone has in elementary school who furrows her brow in fake concern whenever the teacher's looking, and then goes back to pulling pigtails the minute backs are turned. And then she grows up and you find out she fucks dogs.

I wouldn't call this a fail, but gently caress it, it was next in the list and it's a lot more interesting than your loving slapfights. So, kind mildly-spiced pepper sauce from Ghana that might give you the shits called Shitto!

Really, take some time for personal meditation and maybe take a trip to one of the Dakotas, it is a good way to center yourself and get away from some of the city buzz. And at least take the hint and revise it to catfucker, since I do have one of those.

I hope. And even if it is please don't post or request bestiality pics in this thread.  I like this one not just for the obvious juxtaposition of problem and cause, but also because there's a certain one-uppance with the first using the number 1 and 3, and the second using numbers 2 and 3.
