This really sums up conservative ideology in a bunch of ways. Probably more than they realize. It gleefully wishes pain on others. It suggests hurting children until they act "right". It savors the idea of violence upon those they've personally deemed "stupid" (meaning "disagrees with me" because conservatives are never wrong). It reflects on progress, protection of children, safety, improved health, and better consciousness as bad. My favorite of all might be that suggesting stupid should hurt is perfect because it's basically admitting that without some kind of immediate physical trigger they'd never recognize when they're acting stupid. There's no other way to tell!

Knormal posted:One of my grandmas was convinced manx cats were created by breeding a normal cat with a rabbit, but at least she didn't think that turned the offspring into worm gestalts somehow. That was a common belief for a long time because in addition to the stubby tail they're hind legs are often weird in a way that resembles rabbits.

I have a bit of a bad habit of forgetting to wash my feet when I shower. I do it if they're noticeably dirty but otherwise I often just don't, doesn't really occur to me as I don't have stinky feet. I think it's because I've slipped a few times in the shower so I try to keep both feet on the ground when I'm in it. Calves though seems like a slightly weird aversion if you're already washing half of your legs? Why not the other half?

Arivia posted:Do you not know who Joyce Carol Oates is? Like she’s pointing out what the use of the term “Ivy League education” is, and that it generally refers to bachelor/undergraduate degrees. That’s it. The comments from graduate/law students back her up, pointing out that Harvard Law is very prestigious but the category of that prestige in law schools is called something different. Welp always take a look at who is actually tweeting things, folks.

Baron von Eevl posted:Welp always take a look at who is actually tweeting things, folks. I think absurd alhazred had a bad day. In both this thread and the cspam culture warriors one he posted a couple tweets that look really stupid/terrible if you don’t look at who’s actually made them. (The other one was “what menstrual supplies do you use”, which is a horrible thing for a regular reply guy to ask, but much more reasonable from the practicing gynecologist who made it.) Then looking at it here removes it of context so you’re less likely to notice the Ivy League tweet is by Joyce Carol Oates and just think of it as IOSM since it’s in the context of other IOSM. It’s a mistake still, but a far more understandable one.

She teaches at Princeton, an Ivy League university. She is trying to distance herself from Dershowitz by claiming that Harvard Law School, where he teaches, is somehow not “really” Ivy League. This is clearly nonsense.

My bad, the Jen Gunter tweet was posted by another poster named just Alhazred. No wonder I thought it was you though. Also I’m more inclined to think that the English professor and literary short story novelist is trying to safeguard specific language instead of covering for Dersh who has absolutely nothing tying them in common.
