Being drunk does not excuse you from consequences for crimes you have committed. If you're drunk and you rape someone, you have still raped someone. If you're drunk and you rape someone who's drunk, you have still raped someone. Just because they're drunk too doesn't mean it magically becomes not rape.

You're willfully ignoring the point being made in an effort to 'win' an argument that occurred in a comedy forum in a thread making fun of another comedy place on the internet.

good job

Saying "the Reddit community" is really loving stupid because there are a million subreddits and pretty much everyone uses it. It's like saying "the Facebook community" or "the Youtube community".

I, too, cannot comprehend that he means the vocal userbase on the main part of the site rather than the more niche places where generally like minded people tend to go.

Oh I get it, you're being ironic because the assholes are the niche and the vocal userbase is like, AMA or whatever.

Every single time anyone here mentions the Reddit community, some one feels the need to point out that Reddit is actually several different sub-communities and that majority of users are normal people doing normal things.

Like, sure, ok, we all get that. It's still a place that's extremely vocal with it's racism, homophobia, misogyny and just general gross poo poo.

I just take issue with painting all the users of a site that's designed to appeal to the most amount of people possible with the same broad, gross brush. It's disingenuous to call something "the Reddit community" when that encompasses everyone from Adam Savage to some dude in a trailer park.

I've been accused of being a radical queerpunk Tumblrina because I've asked people to not use words like "tranny" and have been called a Feminazi so really I'm just going to lay my cards on the table and let you extrapolate from there.

I find these posts telling me to go on a walk. Ery Ableist. Please stop.

In other news, Reddit is basically the Renaissance movement of the Internet and a bastion of feminism and morality that we should all aspire too

Reddit, Imgur, and Something Awful "communities" are all the same - a bunch of broken and horrible people spouting opinions online that they are either ashamed to talk about in real life or, if they actually have a shred of self-awareness, know will get them laughed out of the room.

Confession bear is supposed to be used for terrible shameful confessions so I guess it fits?

I'm not specifically calling you out (or even saying its negative at all), just making a general observation, but some of my favorite posts are the ones where someone points out that they aren't even using the meme properly. It's just the next level of pointing out grammar mistakes in their lovely posts.

Pretty sure confession bear is just a confession you're not really proud of. Does not have to be reliable.

Also I like the automatic terminals to order because I can take my time without wasting someone's time.

You're wasting someone's time either way if there's anyone behind you. Order faster.

Imgurites not understanding that a term of affection from your father/grandfather asking about your day is a completely different thing than a term of affection from a complete stranger that is trying to gently caress you?

Anyone have any good rebuttals against that Egalitarian poo poo? All I've got is that it doesn't really make you seem like you actually care about women's rights if you're that hung up on just the name.

Aside from it not panning out in reality, due to discrimination existing, thus rendering Egalitarianism completely false in the modern world?

So, today is mostly Bernie love and Hillary hate. I have my reasons that I don't want to vote for her, but the rabid hate she gets, rivaling even Trump's, seems really weird to me.

I'm in the exact same boat. I'd also not be too miffed if she ended up president, I just prefer Bernie.

In Texas, there are dry counties which do not sell any alcohol, 'damp' counties that sell only beer/wine at grocery stores/gas stations, and then regular counties where you can visit actual liquor stores.

Liquor stores are open from 9-9 only, monday through saturday. Also, on Sundays, you can buy beer/wine, but only after noon at grocery stores.

Also the latest that a bar can legally stay open is 2am unless you're part of a 'club' which causes there to be 'after hours bars' where you pay a fee to get a wristband that gives temporary membership to their club which allows you to drink.

These after hours bars may be 100% illegal, but cops tend to let them slide for some reason.

If you don't know, just say so. Don't pretend to have a bunch of knowledge that you have to 'protect' people from. It's alright to be unable to answer his/her question. I promise s/he can handle that an Internet website did some dumb poo poo, and if you don't want to or just can't list things, you can just not reply rather than being weird and condescending.

It would be a real kick in the teeth to be an aging feminist academic scholar, having lived through, documented, and researched the tragic internal fragmentation of your field of study, only to see that the age of the Internet has allowed external forces to try to finish clipping its wings by making what you've devoted your life to studying into either a punchline or a weapon to be wielded by idiots, or both :smith:

I will never quite understand the mindset that threads need to be solely about what's listed in the header and nothing more. It'd be like if I wandered into a card shop and got pissed that people were talking about things that weren't Magic.

Usually it's when it 100% takes over a thread and ruins all potential for discussion of the topic that the thread is about. That said, often times people are too touchy about it for sure.
