How could anyone in the schadenfreude thread act like that Total Biscuit stuff crosses a line. These threads are literally solely for enjoying someone else's misery. We had more than one car-hit-by-train gif in the last thread.

So, uh, how does one go about getting a paid job punching dudes in the balls? Do you have to do regular porn too, or can you just show up, throw on the gloves, and go to town?

Asking for a friend.

Nobody is doing those jobs if they have literally anywhere else to go.

This is the truth. Back in the day I got a desperate job as a telemarketer selling "carpet cleaning appointments" (really trying to get people to buy overpriced vacuum cleaners). It was soul crushing and humiliating and paid $6 an hour plus commission, which I got once the entire time I worked there. They were always finding some reason to not pay commissions.

But at the time it was either be a telemarketer or have no money for the child I was raising. So telemarketing won.

I don't have the heart to gently caress with people who do that for a living, they have enough problems already. I guess schadenfreude is on me for being a poor?

That's not a living wage in most of the USA, let's be real here.

I find a lot more fault with San Francisco's outrageous rent prices, and the stagnation of American wages in general (even including the recent min. wage increases), than with a Poor Trying to Live Above Her Means, but I guess that's me being overly sentimental.

I'm not a fan of holding long-term grudges (it's a waste of time/bad for your health) but I'm pretty sure really hating someone who beat your mom is not "petty".

Also, yeah this poor lady was fat but she was at the gym, clearly she's trying to do something about it. Isn't that what she's supposed to do?

People who publicly make fun of the overweight don't actually do it because they want to "encourage" them to get healthy, like they claim. They just enjoy being lovely to others.

fake edit: Ha ha ha she really is getting investigated by the LAPD now. I cannot believe how many grown rear end adults ruin their own lives on social media.

The-People-Who-Have-No-Concept-Of-Ownership-But-Spend-A-Lot-Of-Time-Talking-About-What's-Theirs

:rolleyes: Plenty of Native tribes had concept of ownership, though most of our cultural ideas on communal land usage were different from how Europeans thought of it at the time. That doesn't mean we didn't understand a group of people living on and using land. This is like listening to one of those people who thinks that in a communist society you're not allowed to have your own toothbrush.

what's so hard to comprehend about First Peoples being a good label for the native populations throughout the entire world

this is like when people got up in arms about the word cisgender

Honestly I think most of the terms are fine. First Nations, Native American, American Indian, whatever. I usually call myself (capital-N) Native American and I've never had anyone, Native or not, think it's inappropriate. Except some goons I guess?

Also, has anyone bothered to ask first people what they want to be collectively called and go with that whatever it is? Or go with 'Pre-mericans', since they sure as hell didn't call the two continents 'the americas'. Or will that let racists go an about how they aren't Americans? Probably.

You'd get different answers from different people. I don't personally know anyone who is super serious about it, though I'm sure they're out there. I mean I have a ton of relatives who still just call themselves Indians and no one gives a poo poo.

We need a way to identify gender and race through the internet. What do you propose, Telemaze?

I know you're trying to be cute here, but since you asked: I propose that people stop assuming. Especially before they talk poo poo to other posters about "noble savages". In the post of mine that Bloody Hedgehog responded to it was pretty obvious I was speaking as a Native American.

And if you really read that as me being offended that I got called sir, I don't even know what to tell you.

I'm jealous as hell of everyone who's had awesome weed trips. My wife says that she can associate ideas and concepts with colors and other cool trippy poo poo but all I ever get is a nice relaxed feeling and screwy time perception. :mad:

Same. Also the only time I tried edibles I didn't get any interesting effects (including feeling like I was going to die), but I did puke up cucumbers in the bathroom sink, so that's something.

Though thinking about it I have no idea why I was eating plain cucumbers in the first place. Maybe it had more of an effect than I realized.
