Tell her that when she smokes this one she's releasing all that stored CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Many strains of cannabis are actually bred to produce very little THC and focus on the production of hemp fiber, which is pretty useful for things that aren't eating your weight in nachos. So it's not all that stupid. The rest of those images make up for it, though.

Aren't people getting a little too old to be using "the dictionary states....." when arguing/writing? I remember using that crap when I was back in HS and still thought of it as a pretty lazy line. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I mean there are times where someone has an outright wrong interpretation of the word but when it comes to rhetoric it's absolutely loving useless. It's really only an argument to be deployed when you're drunk with friends and trying to piss each other off.

Actually while "the dictionary states" might be a bit stupid it's vitally important in any kind of argument to make sure all parties are using the same definitions for any given term. It isn't strictly wrong to try and come to an agreement on that kind of thing, though a lot of times it ends up just being a smokescreen to throw the argument off and get out of it.

Yeah this is true, but for the love of god people should not phrase it as "the dictionary says this." It works far better as a dialog or someone just saying "this is what I mean when I say this, fyi." Breaking out a dictionary definition comes off as massively pedantic which is generally not going to help your case.

Well, when the person is making a definitional argument in the first place ("Bigot is defined as"), pulling the "the dictionary says" argument is saying "no, you idiot, this is an actual definition, and your 'definition' is garbage". Under literally any other circumstances, I agree that it's utter poo poo - I just think in this case it comes across well because it's actually pulling a definition from a source rather than out of one's rear end.

Maybe but then you get into the problem of "well MY dictionary says THIS" and also that a dictionary isn't a great tool for discussing the intricacies of how people actually use language. Though ultimately, yeah, that moron needs a refresher on what "bigot" actually means if they think it's "anyone who disagrees with me".

It's, like, a thing in the deeper levels of tumblr-gender spaces. It started from people generating their own gender-neutral pronoun sets and devolved into themed sets. It gets really confusing when I see bun reblog conversation with other tumblrites and they all use different pronouns that at first glance just look like a common noun. Here, here's a handy list:





I don't loving get this. English already handles gender-neutral pronouns! Granted, there's some negative association there, but we took back "queer" god drat it! Queer, of all words!

A friend of mine was talking with me about this the other day. I was shocked that he actually considered sharing it before he read some of the people commenting on it; apparently he didn't make the connection that it could somehow be hateful.

He knows I'm bi and his sister is gay and engaged, with him intending to be best man at the wedding, so I know he doesn't harbor any homophobia. He's just... really bad at empathy I guess.

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it in another of these threads, but a guy I knew from high school followed a bunch of pages devoted to Pokemon erotica and liking links they posted to some of the weirdest fanfiction I've ever seen. I never got screencaps, though, it was just too weird and sad. After I told him he deleted the posts and was way more careful about what got published to his wall.

Why care about a comedian/musician making an offensive joke/appearance? That seems like it should be WAY down the list of things to get upset about.

"There are more important things" implies that we all must devote ourselves entirely to one outrage. You can think what Macklemore did was lovely while also knowing it's not a terrorist attack or something.

Puntification posted:

But like why did they make that joke(?). It seems like a stupid and pointless reference to make just cos macklemoore's surname sounds a bit like Michael Moore.

The name of the page is "Shares from Your Aunt", I'm guessing it parodies the out-of-touch and dumb-as-gently caress relatives everyone has.

One of my friends has liked The Amazing Atheist. I'm assuming my friend doesn't know he put a banana in his bottom, but a cursory glance at his facebook page shows him complaining about feminists in nearly every post. Either she didn't read any of that and just went "yes, atheism!" - or she thinks him being a horrible anti-feminist is acceptable if he is also a vocal atheist.

79,959 other people also "like" his page, though. Perhaps it's me that's peculiar after all.

Someone loving themselves with a banana, while hilarious, isn't a great reason to find someone loathsome. Especially when there's so much more to hate the guy for, like everything he says and also his screen name being a twice removed pun.

My favorite thing people complain about in food is dyes from insects.
