GIRLS!

Leaving this here, because it's fun;


One of the really common aspects of online discourse is that sometimes people misunderstand words, or don't place them in 'context'. Context always matters.

It's one of the reasons why you tend to have diplomats sit around a table and ask, 'so what does _denuclearisation_ mean to you?', before people start with the awards.

I know it really shouldn't any more but it still loving boggles my mind that people can describe essentially the same amazing virtual reality video game world I made up when I was 10 and not see how loving impossibly stupid the idea of it is.

I blame Wreck-It-Ralph, actually.

40% of that helmet is hinges.

You know what else has hinges?

No, no, don't say it. They might be listening. They're ajar.

Why do some people always play the SJW/liberal/whatever card when they disagree with someone? I can only presume its because they don't actually have any arguments so better to brand someone as belonging to a different group that they can hate on.

I don't even understand how in any way what the guy said can be construed as being a SJW. I've been called a SJW for things that i can get my head around either. Isn't it people who are extreme in wanting a progressive society? Which yeah, extremism isn't great, but being progressive is generally a good thing.

Are people who throw around the SJW term just idiots?

It's amazing how Bret 'BretJones' Jones doesn't actually mentioned LoL in context with nearly infinite maps.

What wrong with him that he isn't extolling the virtues of a running for several days before meeting someone? It's immersion, sucker, go outside and try it.


Agony Aunt posted:

Yes.

Edit: Slightly less briefly, it's a term that has resonance in particular places to particular people that we term a 'dog whistle', because some people just ignore it as a turn of phrase, while others know _exactly_ what they mean and why those bitches have to pay. Even more creepily, there's an attempt to 'implant' terms in the overall lexicon to embed the concepts behind them.

Good for Cymelion, that's the proper approach.

And man, calling someone a moron is pretty tame for Derek, but apparently that is as toxic as death threats to children. Latch on to anything for the "both sides" thing don't they.

Also...



How does this make any sense at all. Like, I honestly can't tell if this is a troll or real.
