SpacePig posted:The whole "historically Democratic idea" thing always strikes me as a bit weird, too. If I'm remembering right, some time in the last 100 years or so, the general leanings of Democrats and Republicans basically completely flipped. Right. It mostly happened in the 60s with the Kennedy (D) and Johnson (D, who doesn't get enough credit) administrations supporting civil rights. Johnson was even from the south, but even before he was the vice president he was in favor of civil rights. Nixon (R) realized he could win over southern states by being just racist enough, and that's the super, super oversimplified version. It's a pretty interesting subject.

Also, turns out that when someone black reads classic literature or listen to classical music they're just "acting white", to the point where white people will say "well, you're not actually black!" to a dark skinned african-american person. There's a lot of things that black people do that get associated with "acting white" and most of it is just assuming that poo poo like graduating college and reading is a "white person" thing. So yes, white people do bring it up. Often, in fact.

So I was at work one night, and we were just closing up. We had spent the night looking up coworkers names, seeing what dirt we could find on them. We had found a coworker's Amazon page which was only 1 star reviews, so that was funny enough. After we closed, a regular customer came by, big middle aged fat guy famous for asking questions to employees constantly without actually listening to the answers and being generally annoying. After he insists many times that he'll be quick, he buys his stuff and leaves. One of my coworkers sees his name on his credit card, and asks "Hey! I wonder if we can find any stuff about this guy online." We were not prepared for what we found. He was listed as a public figure for some reason.     (I did not censor Weintraub because that is not even close to his name}

SpacePig posted:I think it might be that situations like this are exactly why porn sites have share buttons, so that idiots will out themselves as being into weird poo poo publicly. Why would one think, as a teacher, that it'd be okay to post about goddamn anime kiddie porn in any light but negative? loving idiot. No joke, I have a guy like this on my facebook feed. Talks about how he likes anime kiddy porn, affectionately calls himself a "lolicon", surrounds himself with other weird anime people, I think he even has a girlfriend. Most everyone else from highschool has probably unfollowed him, but I still have him on my friends list because A. he doesn't actually POST any of that poo poo and B. he's great fodder for this very thread. Might be another McMichael in the making

goose fleet posted:Come to think of it, what happens if something happens to a sitting president between the nomination season and the next inauguration? Like, does the vice president become president, but they just kind of sit around and do nothing but awkwardly pose for photos because they don't have any time to do anything and it's too late for them to campaign for an actual term? Byzantine posted:Pretty much. If anything happens to incapacitate the President, the veep takes over for the rest of the term, no matter how short. To elaborate on this, John F. Kennedy was the most recent U.S. president to be successfully assassinated, and there was less than a year left in his term when Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in. But was it too late for LBJ to campaign? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDTBnsqxZ3k  Johnson is in blue. You bet your rear end he campaigned.

Serperoth posted:It isn't the nicest thing to have a prominent trans woman protagonist being played by a dude. Fair enough, but doesn't the character start off identifying and presenting as male? Similar to Breakfast on Pluto, where we see the main character transitioning slowly. Then again, I haven't seen The Danish Girl, so maybe I'm not the best person to talk about it. They got lucky with Orange is the New Black because Laverne Cox literally had an identical twin who still identified as male.

 I get. That you like. Bernie Sanders. But do you really have to outright lie? I won't go over the details too much, but Hillary is winning by 26 points in Tennessee, and 34 points in Michigan. Not to mention 22 points in Pennsylvania. If you want to find the statistics yourself, there's a huge list of polls here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/ This is some "Unskewed Polls" poo poo

LordSaturn posted:Is it implied elsewhere that he actually double-voted? My first impression was that this is the second time he's been old enough to vote. Considering this is only a primary and my state has had a couple of special elections for senate, he's certainly been old enough to vote a few times. It was the "Some said it couldn't be done" that got me questioning.

dirksteadfast posted:When my wife worked at a bank, a homeless man came in and told the teller "I'm robbing you, call the police". Guy had no weapons and just wanted to get off the street any way he could. An armed guard with a twitchy finger might have just shot the guy just in case, so even the most non-violent of robberies could end badly. Reminds me of that old O. Henry story about the vagrant trying to get arrested for the exact same reason, and failing every single time. Which, of course, is slightly unrealistic, because yeah, it's easy as poo poo to go to jail if you're actively trying to. Also reminds of the time the homeless guy took $100 dollars from a bank, and was so ashamed of himself that he returned it. The police than came and tossed him in jail for the original crime of robbery despite the fact that the money was insignificant enough for nobody to even notice, and it had been returned. But hey, at least we don't have to look at these filthy poors anymore, right guys?? Right???

chitoryu12 posted:and the more moderate assholes like Ted Cruz Woah woah woah, let's not go saying things like Cruz is a moderate. Besides the blatant racism from Trump, Cruz is definitely more to the political right than Trump is. Believe it or not, Trump actually has some shockingly liberal positions, like raising taxes on the rich (while lowering them for corporations) and supporting Planned Parenthood. There were all these idealistic republicans who insisted that the reasons their candidates aren't overly popular/getting elected is that they're not TRUE conservatives, and now they're annoyed because the first candidate to really get people fired up to the point of winning the nomination looks like it's going to be Trump. And he's not even close to this idealized version of a "true conservative", just a rich racist rear end in a top hat. He even gave money to democrats! Including Clinton! Both Clintons, I'm pretty sure.

Krispy Kareem posted:Cruz is to the left of Kasich on abortion and more moderate than Trump on economics and foreign policy. If he toned down the religion, grew a beard to hide his face, and wasn't a loving terrible person he'd probably be more likable. I find it hard to believe that Cruz is to the left of Kasich on abortion considering how he continues to be the candidate evangelicals vote for en masse. And as for being to the left of Trump on foreign policy, here's a video of him saying he's going to carpet bomb the middle east so hard we're going to see sand glow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6vMnJwzqHw Also, isn't it funny that no presidents have had beards for over a century, when after Lincoln facial hair was practically a requirement? We actually elected Chester A. Arthur despite his ridiculous face. Midnight Voyager posted:The only appropriate situation to bring that up in is when someone asks why someone paper white tans to cardboard after one day at the beach. Or if someone asks. Ugh, I had an ex like that once. She was lily white, and had completely straight light colored hair, but her grandmother was black. She loved to be part of social justice stuff, and would always do the whole "as a black person, I..." and insist that she could speak for black people, and she would use the N-word and poo poo. It irritated me to no end, and it was always aggravating that she didn't have the self awareness to realize that she looked 100% white, and despite her claims, yes, she absolutely had white privilege. And that, seriously stop using the N-word you look completely white. Reminds me of the other girl I went on a single date with who started dropping N-bomb in front of a black guy, and insisted it was okay because she had a black step-brother. White people complain about not being able to use the N-word, but white people use it all the time anyway, so what the hell ever..

Hilary = thing i don't like, and is bad. Like this hilarious meme:    It's not particularly meaningful or clever, it has nothing to do with any of their policies.

I decided to see the comments on the page the post itself came from. My reply showed up in a friends newsfeed and he doesn't know the guy who posted it so he told me it took great restraint not to call a total stranger a stupid oval office. Now I've heard some bold claims about Irish oppression, not all of them false. This is the worst one I've ever seen. Really buddy? ANY other race? Black people and Native Americans have always had it easier than the Irish? Not sure I 100% agree with your police work there Lou. It almost seems like it's a troll image, but people are actually taking it seriously. Unbelievable. How could anyone with even the most basic understanding of US History possible think this?
