Postal Parcel posted:The last one got closed because(and correct me if I'm wrong) it ended up being your typical 'right-wingers' bashing sjws. Can we not use that idiot dichotomy about forum posts, particularly outside of D&D? What killed that thread was that a couple MRAs bitched about feminism and the thread devolved into goons making GBS threads their pants at each other instead of posting context.

A fedora is a dress hat. If you're going somewhere hats are appropriate and you're dressed formally, you can wear a fedora. Especially if it's explicitly mobster-themed; that's the whole point of theming. As long as you're somewhat able to pull it off, it'll be seen as a quirk at most. Same with pipes or whatever else. Have a sense of restraint and don't be a socially maladjusted neckbeard and you can pull off most things. Disclaimer: I don't own a fedora; not a hat guy.

I'm mostly baffled by the list at the end recommending beers that are unpasteurized and unfiltered. Why would someone going on about  CHEMICALS object to the process of filtering? Pasteurization? Those can only make things have less chemicals*, which I would think was a net win.

Laocius posted:No, it's sort of like homophobia. The difference is just that homophobia is supposed to mean fear of homosexuality, but heterosexism is a more general bias against it and doesn't imply any specific emotional responses. Homophobia never meant the fear of the gays, though. It's a bad word coined by someone who is bad at language, but everybody knows what it means. There's really no need for another word that means the same thing; the only people who argue about the meaning of the word homophobia are contrarians who'd find something stupid to say about any synonymous term. See also: "I'm against feminism because I'm an  egalitarian *is really a misogynist prick*"

beefart posted:Haley is a pretty staunch conservative and Tea Party darling with some pretty poo poo opinions, so this is some proper schadenfreude. At least they're not calling her a "raghead" anymore like they did in the 2010 SC gubernatorial race (she's Indian and still practices Sikhism along with Christianity). For a moment I was puzzled that someone could be a practicing Sikh and back the Tea Party, but then I remembered that the Tea Party allegedly bases its morality on the teachings of Jesus. My cultural bias is showing.

It's the latter. There are people in the FBI whose job is to look at child porn reports and try to identify the victims in case they're being repeatedly molested and the like. It's basically the worst job in the world. Incidentally, internet pedophiles don't understand why they aren't allowed to do the job instead of people who are psychologically destroyed by it. Some of them even offer to do it freelance, pro bono.

OldTennisCourt posted:I don't understand people's weird idea that there's this backlash against holding open a door or 'being a gentleman'. I'm pretty sure the worst that'll happen is someone will polity say they've got it. I really don't think a woman is going to spit in your face for DARING to hold open the door for them. I had a longer post, but I found a Vine I once saw that encapsulates everything I want to say and is idiots on social media: http://vinescope.com/some-girls-have-no-manners-1132.html This is the kind of guy who says there's a 'war on chivalry'. It has absolutely nothing to do with being nice to strangers. The comments are better than they were, thankfully.

RFC2324 posted:For instance, did you know that Canada and Mexico are both part of America? kazil posted:Canada and Mexico are part of North America, when you say America without the qualifier it means the US. There's no point arguing this. America is a continent, and it is entirely correct to refer to, say, Brazilians or Canadians as Americans, but there's also a country that takes up 40% of its mass called (the United States of) America. They're both America, and anytime you make statement either way about people outside the US being Americans someone will smugly inform you that you're wrong. Incidentally, calling a Canadian American will offend both Canadians and United Statesians. Zulily Zoetrope has a new favorite as of 18:08 on Jun 21, 2014 |

Apogee15 posted:The only time it's ever mentioned like that is so people can go "People from brazil are american too It isn't common usage in America, for sure. Just like a Frenchman would never refer to a German as a European. Apogee15 posted:No one seriously refers to everyone from the two continents of north america and south america as americans. kazil posted:There is no continent called America. nucleicmaxid posted:There are two different continents called North America and South America. You are wrong, and I'd be ashamed of whatever school you went to for teaching you about the great, mythical continent of America containing Brazil and Canada. A continent is a continuous body of land, separated from others by bodies of water. Further conventions also put this separation between larger bodies connected by a narrow stretch of land, as well as the geopolitical border between Europe and Asia. The latter is by far the most common usage in the United States, but fortunately, the English language is not defined by US conventions alone.

Since you didn't seem to actually read it, I've extracted the important bits for you. kazil posted:Are Africa and Eurasia one continent? Because those are just as connected as North and South America. Yes, that's Africa-Eurasia. It's not the most frequently used term, but it's absolutely a thing. Have you never had a geography class?

If you don't get in touch with your school counselor and talk about your issues, I will let your family no. Anybody who tries to dox him to do the same gets banned." The guy took the counseling option.

Death by Cranes posted:While that JonTron guy appears to be an idiot, being offended by the mere use of the word "retarded" is way out of line. If JonTron wrote that the item in question was as stupid as a retarded person, being offended would have some merit. This post is as gay as a black person. Takoluka posted:Is "retarded" really a derogatory slur now? I remember when it was being pushed away from describing people in favor of "mentally handicapped/challenge" or whatever was decided upon, but I don't remember it being considered derogatory and demeaning when used to describe the thoughtlessness and absurdity of a situation. Is "fag" really a derogatory slur now? I remember when it was being pushed away from describing people in favor of "gay/homosexual" or whatever was decided upon, but I don't remember it being considered derogatory and demeaning when used to describe the femininity and limp-wristedness of a situation.

Centripetal Horse posted:Vaguely related: I saw a debate on PBS about ten years ago, and there was a representative from India. The woman from India was furious about flush toilets, specifically in the USA. Holy poo poo, did she hate flush toilets. She seemed to think the flush toilet (again, specifically in the USA as I remember) was an evil invention on par with Nazi gas chambers. I often wonder if the debate was legit, or some sort of weird educational piece. Doesn't the US standard use four liters of potable water every time you pee? I remember being weirded out the first time I encountered one.

DrProsek posted:That's something I've always wondered with those images, is there a large group of people arguing for just fast food workers to get higher pay but are absolutely against soldiers getting a pay boost? Like even if you did some math and it turns out that thanks to some hidden costs even the soldiers themselves don't see, a US Army soldier's takehome pay is lower than a fast food worker's, I'd just say that whatever bill gets passed to fix the minimum wage should also probably cover soldier's incomes too. No, of course there isn't. Treating the world as a zero sum game is just a very palatable way of rejecting any effort to make anyone's life easier. This is the same kind of person who will complain about foreign aid because there's still people going hungry at home, then reject any notion of welfare because people on the dole are just lazy moochers already. The boys are just a good target because they make less than minimum wage (assuming a 168 hour work week).

The show is just a safe space for people to express that they don't want to be called oval office niggers that should be raped in front of their children on the Internet. Why do you want to undermine its free speech? Are you some kind of Hitler?
