The opposite of the preeminent tumblr stereotype is doughy nerds who obsessively collect (often fake or unrelated posts) and go on and on about how not offended. Yet they always seem... so... offended about everything. Makes u think

ps: blah blah public page

No one but the commenter mentions triggering, and it's not even a tumblr post. Come on doughy nerds, at least get your poo poo straight.

At Will Employment because freedom!

One of the issues is that a lot of states have it set up so an employer can legally fire somebody for no reason whatsoever or for any reason so long as it isn't one of the ones that's explicitly outlined. All an employer really has to do is say "I just didn't like the guy" and it's fine. You can make up bullshit reasons with no backing like "he wasn't productive enough" or whatever. As long as an employer isn't caught saying "fired for being gay" or whatever it's completely legal.

Want to hear something even more depressing? Homosexuality isn't one of the protected classes.

True story: I was on a full train on the way to work a while back when a very clearly mentally ill guy started yelling and cursing to no one in particular while walking down the aisle. The kid next to me looked terrified and asked his mom what was wrong with him. The mom turned to him and said, completely serious, "That's what happens when you ignore God. Demons take over your body."

Some people are just incredibly stupid.

My mom used to share quite a bit from some station in Melbourne which, for whatever reason, is internationally popular for sharing inane non-music related poo poo. Other, less agitating example from Rhode Island:

I get why they're trying to spread their name around, but it seems sort of weird because most of the people sharing/posting on these pages aren't from the specific city this radio station is for. Do they get money for clicks?

Only some (nerds) will get this reference to two of the most popular Hollywood franchises.

I don't keep up with this whole Deadpool movie thing, but is there suddenly a movement or whatever to see it a PG-13 rating?

Either way it seems a friend of mine is against this because he wants to go see a "grown up" Marvel movie.

Tell him he has the whole Blade trilogy, and at least 2 Punisher movies.

That being said, I'm pretty sure the Deadpool movie will be "grownup" in the same way that South Park is "adult." It's not exactly a deep psychological thriller.

Same old rhetoric, said in the most confusing way possible.

"Increasing gun control doesn't matter because you can easily buy them on the black market. If you're in a mass shooting situation, you better hope there are people who carry so you don't have to rely on the police to save you. Blacks and Hispanics are all in gangs, so we need guns to protect ourselves from them."

There's also the fact that people see it as white-collar academics vs. blue-collar workers. Coal and oil employ a lot of people in some regions.

There was a great sign I saw driving through central Pennsylvania: "The sun sets, the wind dies down, but coal is forever." That's honestly what a lot of people believe.

It's an relatively accurate point. Solar and wind are very volatile power sources; for them to be a substantial portion of production would require an extensive power storage infrastructure to smooth over their peaks and valleys. Coal and other such 'fueled' plants don't have that problem.

edit: Well, not 'forever,' obviously. But still, ah. Continuous.

Right, it was the forever part that got me. It was basically missing the forest for the trees.

I'm so confused about the reference to Kali, especially because the Kali Puja is a very eastern-India thing. It seems an oddly specific thing to hate.

cash crab posted:

I think it's referring to Kali Yuga. It's a loving weird reference, but from what I understand, Operation Werewolf seeks to destroy "personal weaknesses" (i.e.: porn [it's emasculating! Somehow], what they consider to be multiple forms of cuckoldry such as watching sports [???], eating too much, probably petting cats) and the Kali Yuga era is supposed to be a low point of civilization. So, I think it's like, "Because we are so strong and cool, we alone will weather an era of bad things." Which is sort of weird, again, for an organization that seems to have a lot of really Nazi-ish overtones to refer to a scripture that thinks that being assholes to each other is a cultural lowpoint. I think. I'm honestly sort of confused.

On that note, I did find a picture of their founder sacrificing a sheep and eating its heart. How wholesome!

Yeah, I read that as a fancy P and not a Y. :doh:

Still...that's bizarre.

These are the type of people who feel proud of not watching sports like it's some counter culture thing at this point as opposed to a hobby or interest you just don't share with a lot of people.

You said it perfectly. I have a friend who's great to hang out with in every other way, but as soon as any team is mentioned, he always jumps in with "I don't do sports, so I don't know what you're talking about." Like the world is divided into People Who Like Sports and People Who Don't Like Sports.
