Republicans are gonna be so bored if they win the next election. They're not gonna be able to be as openly racist and get away with it and just disguise it as disliking Democrats. Although it might be hilarious if somehow a woman got in though. The shitstorm that would cause

If you find out in March there's gonna be way more avocados than usual in September because way more of them were planted than usual, that'd a big enough lead time to get a load of avocado heavy stuff into the appropriate food media. Whether this actually happens of not I have no idea

StrangersInTheNight posted:I think you are horrifically misinterpreting a common explanation used to reason with people regarding why bringing up men's rights every single time feminism/women's social issues are discussed is not always appropriate, that explanation being "Women's issues are prioritized in discussions of gender inequality because they are more often victims than men are and still experience greater social injustice, and when the point is to try and bring light to women's struggles because they are often overlooked or minimized in lieu of men's needs, turning the discussion towards abuse men face tends to shift the lens entirely back towards men again and women fall out of the discussion". No one says 100% of our social resources must go towards helping abused women and abused women only - that's insanely foolish by any standard, any rational person knows that issues such as child abuse, domestic abuse against men, transphobia, and racism are just as valid to concentrate resources on (and many more! We live in a 1st world society, we don't need to only help one disadvantaged group only and call it a day). I have no agenda, could not care less about the sucsess or failure of feminism. I am glad to know that the people i talked to do not represent mainstream tougth . Ofcourse it could be that they are less reasonable ( there is no shortage of assholes in this world) than you but i will choose to assume the opposite.

I saw a guy share a similar thing, although I suppose that this one is slightly less impractical.  He also shared this and as far as I can tell he 100% thought it was real. I haven't actually seen the guy in like 15 years but almost every post he makes is either a Black Label Society picture or those stupid memes about how real men or real women are so I think he's at least this dumb.

Business casual is growing ever more popular and she probably also likes guys who wear suits for every occasion. If you've been on a liberal arts college campus there are always a couple of those dudes and 100% of the time they are the most painfully awkward people alive.

You also don't clean them frequently, because most suits have to be dry-cleaned. So, inevitably these kinds of dudes reek just as bad as the dudes who don't know how to wash their jorts 'cause mommy always did it. College is a weird time where people feel they can get away without washing and it is really odd.

I went to a private school where a bathroom was shared between at most, 4 people depending on the dorm and had a loving lock. So it was super weird to have a classmate who insisted on not bathing, to me.

Having to not pay for water use and living in a dorm meant the best showers ever. Super hot, super long. How someone can go without a shower is something I don't understand. Also, yay for friends who like advertising.

Laci Green talks about how to not poo poo on women via pointing out the ways that they have been shat on for years now and maybe encouraging people to maybe not support those things? So fedora people lose their minds because happy women is something they hate since, you know, they're all stuck up prude bitches that won't gently caress them the whores! Or maybe we're just at the point where any female voice that isn't in porn or an anime/cartoon just sends people into a rage. Yeesh, this came off way more serious than I intended.

Kajeesus posted:MRA is a movement dedicated to hurting women, rather than helping men. Pretty much that entirely. This is probably just me having a wider view of how lovely America [I loving hope to god that MRA poo poo doesn't have any penetration in other countries] is with how the Epic Scroll of social, legal, economic, etc problems it has. From small things like women not being able to have simple universal clothing sizes the operate on actual figures that they have to the enormously gross poo poo going on in colleges.   It seems like every other week there's another rape occurring in a college now. And I'm betting the only reason I'm noticing is because I'm on the internet for things that aren't flash games so much more than I used to be. I wonder what we could've done to avoid this. If more money was put into education instead of the school sport teams, would we be less reluctant to actually learn lessons from this stuff when it happens over and over and over again?

It still falls under victim blaming bullshit. I mean I get the whole idea of "Be smart and stay safe" but it still puts the blame on the person getting robbed/raped/whatever rather than the person doing it. karl fungus posted:Do you remember when those annoying internet atheists from Reddit and elsewhere would just go on and on about whatever Dick Dorkins spouted out that week and how religion was for "sheeple" and that science and Carl Sagan image macros and blah blah blah I wonder why there's so much crossover there  Also can we just ban the word sheeple? Or better yet, encourage assholes to use it as much as possible? It's nice to know people I can ignore completely.
