People who are like "I got spanked as a kid and I'm well-adjusted now!" are so lacking in self-awareness that it's almost like a parody.

Hey Facebook, I need some advice. As you know, I live in an anarchist household, and so we do not call the police or believe in snitching at all (so don't recommend that we do). However, our downstairs neighbors are pretty obviously and clearly partaking in a lot of meth on the daily.

I don't care about this, it's their life and they're not cooking it or selling it so whatever, but recently they've started smoking a lot more and the smell is wafting into our apartment. I'm crazy sensitive to stuff like that and last night the smell was so intense that I got a huge migraine and couldn't sleep for hours. I can't deal with this being a regular thing, especially not now that school is starting.

What should we do if we don't snitch, can't talk to them (they are literally always high and they don't know that we don't snitch so I'm worried they would think we were threatening them), and have zero options?

Have they considered murder?

American presidential elections are actually held every 4 years in November. There's just a bunch of buildup as the two parties (and the tiny ones that nobody cares about because we're dominated by Democrats and Republicans and some independent or Green Party motherfucker is almost like a historical footnote) decide which candidate they're going to put up for the real election.

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.

Prester Jane (formerly Prestor John) has a thread on authoritarians like sovereign citizens, fundamentalist Christians, and other nuts who are common in right-wing circles. One of the important things to take away from the discussion is that while the Democrats cut ties with left-wing radicals like anarchists around the 60s, the Republicans instead tried to court the right-wing radicals for votes (especially Nixon and after). This resulted in the current dynamic where the GOP has gradually become more and more controlled by the crazier side of conservatism like the Tea Party until we've finally reached the point where an openly racist fascist is the current front runner for the Republicans. The left-wing radicals weren't given the room to gain power like the right-wing ones, which is why you don't hear anything about an open Stalinist courting votes at the DNC.

This is why very old school Republicans like Eisenhower or John Lindsay (former mayor of NYC through the 60s and 70s) are downright moderate compared to the current cream of the crop. Lindsay was even supportive of increasing the number of black-owned businesses in Harlem, something you'd never imagine any of the GOP presidential candidates trying to do.

Most places can refuse service dogs like that but they don't because it makes them look like a jerk. I mentioned it in the food thread I think but a while back I was in a restaurant and they let a family bring their service pug in and walk all over the table they were sitting at. It didn't act very well trained so I kind of doubt it was a service animal.

There's still debate and controversy over whether "emotional support animals" count as legitimate service animals or if you need to have a "real disability" to have one.

Child support is definitely one of those grey areas where a lot of people (feminists included) think that shady poo poo goes on with it. The most prominent being that courts tend to have an inherent bias toward mothers over fathers in terms of custody and demanding child support payments.

Following this persons 'house on fire' analogy, this idiot is so delusional he's believing that there's a raging fire going on right in front of him and completely neglecting to notice that a bunch of people are dead and there's a smoldering ruin next to him.

Feminists use this tactic constantly to silence any thought that would cause them to question their questionable belief system. Which is basically any logical thought.

"I know what I'm sharing is mostly bullshit but"

I got curious and decided to do the math. The United States had 3.8 murders per 100,000 people (12,253 total), putting them at 121 out of 216 on the list (though this is a bit deceptive as the bottom half of the list has increasingly smaller differences, to the point where countries 191 and 204 have a difference of only 0.1 murders while the difference between 1 and 2 is 30.6 murders). Murder rates for cities:

Detroit: 43.5 (298)

Chicago: 15.1 (460)

Washington, DC: 15.9 (105)

New Orleans: 39.6 (150)

That's a total of 1,013 murders in 2014 between all four cities. Eliminating those cities entirely from the list would bring the US murder total to roughly 11,240 (I had to use 2013 numbers for the national murder rate compared to 2014 for the individual cities). US population in 2013 was 316.5 million, divide by 100,000 to get 3,165. That's a rate of 3.5 murders per 100,000, which would bring us to....#128 on the list.

What's impressive is that even the "third in murders" part that makes the US look awful is made up entirely for the picture. Literally every part of that is fictional.

Krispy Kareem posted:

Those numbers are a little misleading also because even in a hell-hole like Chicago, most of the city is relatively safe. So saying there are 15 murders per 100k people - while technically correct, is still not a great indicator of the crime rate. It's probably 1 or 2 murders per 100k for the 50% of people who live in nice areas and 30 per 100k in poor neighborhoods.

Which just goes to show how absolutely horrible it is living in those poorer areas and why mixed income housing is so important.

In general, even the national number is misleading. The United States is a really loving huge country with wildly disparate regions, to the point where sometimes it's hard to even think of it as a single nation except by the unusual number of American flags everywhere. If I remember correctly, the majority of murders in the United States are committed in a relatively small handful of urban areas; as that math showed, those 4 cities alone held nearly 10% of all murders.

It's entirely band stuff. You can still try to have a normal profile and they saved all your old stuff as "legacy content" or whatever, but the layout of the new site is completely awful and incomprehensible for any kind of social media platform. The old site may look hilariously outdated now, but I'd rather have that than the bizarre layout they changed to. That's probably at least a little bit of the reason why everyone abandoned it for Facebook.

I actually kind of disagree bout the neckbeard thing. It's kind of transcended the original meaning of "ugly rear end in a top hat" and has a little nebula of meanings, including but not limited to:

Over-opinionated
Condescending
Unpleasant
Selfish
Rude
Super stubborn
Unwilling to grow or change (stagnant as a person)


Poor hygiene (taking baths, not just shaving) can be a thing too. Like, you can be super good looking and still be a massive neckbeard. I've actually known quite a few attractive people I would call a neckbeard.





.......or, you know, I could just be looking at it sideways to the rest of the world and be absolutely wrong.

One thing I always have to wonder when a story crops up like that is, well, do these guys have undiagnosed, untreated mental illnesses? What the guy did was terrible sure but I can't help but feel like it all could have been avoided if the guy got the help he needed. Instead of hanging around other weirdos that encouraged him to get worse how different would it have been if he was around people that said "hey dude you need to be in therapy and we'll help you get better, OK?"

Creating a second Facebook account for your anime waifu is not normal, healthy behavior and is a red flag for "get this person in a psychologist's office like yesterday."

If you want to argue that pedophilia is a mental illness, then technically every pedophile is mentally ill. Though that gets into some rather uncomfortable implications about exactly what gets classified as a mental illness (is a foot fetish a mental illness, or does it only count if it hurts kids?).

The sad part is that there's actually plenty of pedophiles who are ashamed of it and resisting the urge because they know it's harmful, but it's virtually impossible for them to get help because even admitting the attraction results in them immediately becoming a pariah and anyone who tries to help them in ways other than immediate imprisonment and watch lists gets accused of being a kiddy diddler themselves.
