After the shooting in Ontario a year ago that killed a soldier, every goddamn day I had to hear rednecks go on about immigrants and Muslims, and I live in a city of a million people.

Part of Everything posted:I gotta say I am sick to death of the word shaman. I'm part Ojibwe and it's easy to tell in the community who is a) a fraud or b) actually native, but without traditional teachings, because there's no such thing as an "Indian shaman". The word shaman is actually Asian in origin and has had the poo poo appropriated out of it. We don't even say medicine people. Various tribes have their own specific term for healers/medicine people in their own particular language. Are you trying to tell me that these people have no idea what the gently caress they are talking about?

So somebody screenshotted a tumblr post, put it on reddit, took a screenshot of reddit comments, reuploaded to tumblr, screenshotted that and put it on facebook. A lot of effort was put into getting that not funny picture on facebook (and then a screenshot was taken and uploaded to SA) Edit: thank you for that edit.

Scathach posted:"Teen Allergic to Wi-Fi Commits Suicide, Parents Say" It reminds me years back of when a cellphone tower was installed in a small town, and suddenly everyone living there had headaches and joint pain and other ailments, obviously caused by the emissions of the tower. They created a class-action lawsuit against the owning company, who then revealed the tower had never been turned on in the first place.

I love the imagery of this. "If you don't like a thing I do, then you are a woman, which is inferior and you should be ashamed" but then in the picture they use a guy who we can assume is into metal, and looks very feminine.

Listen to the music that sounds good to you and don't let anybody tell you it's wrong. It's entertainment. Who the gently caress cares? The idea that things they aren't into might actually please other people is scary.

The only reason Trudeau's photoshoot is top news in Canada is because whiny conservatives are making it top news. That he's actually making headway into the long ignored murdered and missing Native women doesn't matter to these shitheads. And for those who don't know, Canada's elected leader looks like this:  So him doing photoshoots is for the betterment of us all.

Picnic Princess posted:Most of the people I've seen complaining are people who lived on acreages as kids, where they had like two or three horses, a few barn cats, and a large dog. Somehow this qualifies them as 'farmers'. Maybe it's because they had to mow a larger front yard than city kids as their chores.  Bottom reply is from a girl that grew up on a farm pretty much like you describe, then moved to a city at about 14.

ToxicSlurpee posted:That's part of the point, I think; he's a Democrat and things aren't absolutely perfect so he's obviously New Hitler. But if the parties were flipped you'd hear the right singing his praises over every little thing that went even the tiniest bit right. It's like how the newly-elected Premier of Alberta is apparently ruining the economy of this province. I guess she has total power over global gas prices, and she's specifically forcing them down to ruin the economy and put all the oilfield workers out of a job.

Dumbledore was gay, there were Jewish wizards at hogwarts. She keeps mentioning ten years after the books came out how progressive and inclusive they are, but she forgot to put it in the loving books. I like her, she's a good person and the books are good reads for kids, but I really hate how she keeps trying to get credit for being inclusive by making poo poo up after the fact.

Even if you had hands for feet and could operate a gun with your face, that's still only a max of five needed to murder someone with the excuse of self defense. Well you got a gun for the bathroom, one under the pillow, one in each of your cars (two in the minivan), leave one at the office, carry two at all times, one each by the front and rear door of the house, etc. That way you're ready to go should an "urban youth" trouble you.

Madkal posted:It is widely known that comment sections are where reason and logic go to die a painful death. Just read any comments section on any news article and try make sense of the mental gymnastics people do on them. The funny thing is that people who leave comments are so eager to express their opinion that they will leave such comments on sites/articles that don't even relate to their opinion. Really they are desperate for attention, and have alienated all of their friends over the years. These are the type of people who will make like 10+ rambling posts a day to their wall, and maybe one or two of them will get a 'like' from someone that they know. So obviously the way to get attention and validation is to spew garbage onto any play that it can physically go, regardless of whether it is appropriate of not. china bot posted:Also, regarding the Steven Universe what-have-you: You're on a first date. The two of you have a wonderful conversation for a couple hours at a quiet restaurant, good wine, good food. It's getting late, you walk outside to the parking lot to say goodnight. A warm hug. Some quick anal. You part ways and send a nice text when you get home saying it was a lovely time and you hope too see them again soon.

Madkal posted:When it comes to cultural appropriation I wonder if the people writing the articles understand history. Basically everything ever done in history has been a form of cultural appropriation and not just buy conquer but by things like trade and alliances. If you look at things like food and places around the Mediterranean you will notice a lot of overlap food wise even though the cultures are different. And you what. That's great. This is an argument that's been made a thousand times, and the difference between sharing culture and appropriating is a fine and delicate line. One one hand, yeah good food should be enjoyed by as many people as possible, but on the other white people are trash and don't deserve nice things since we always loving ruin it (white versions of Indian dishes are just embarrassing, clueless hipsters wearing native headdresses while smoking weed at lovely music festivals, etc).
