He's too much of a coward to even say this one out loud.

I'd also be too cowardly to say it out loud if I thought giant eyebrows guy and banana head guy were self evidently attractive.

the bear might be trans but is at least gender nonconforming anyway

basic terf: making a female character gender neutral is misogyny
advanced terf: making a male character gender neutral is misogyny

it's a medical student and hence an adult, the guy is making a joke about how lovely medical culture forces students to pretend to love every minute of their presence in the hospital.

this guy made a whole series of similar mega brained takes. I'm about 90% convinced he is trolling with most of these though.

given his whole thing is anti-communism, I did enjoy the one where he compared Zelensky to Ho Chi Minh and a whole bunch of people replied scolding him for supporting a communist murderer

Double and drop a decimal, it’s the easiest math ever, you could also drop and double idk but seriously it’s very easy math

Idk what being neurodivergent is like so I don’t want to speak out of hand, but I feel like tipping 20% should be cultural background radiation if you grew up in the US, akin to knowing Hollywood is in Southern California or those bird you see everywhere downtown are pigeons

applying the tip of 20% at a restaurant seems easy enough but I've never seen americans who are like 'duh tipping is very simple if you don't get it you're just making excuses for being cheap and lazy' concisely explain all the rules for the million other non-restaurant service jobs and businesses that all have varying expectations for if and how much to tip. Seems like this would be genuinely hard for neurodivergent people

yeah haircuts is the only other one i think most people deal with regularly and then its just $5. if you're getting a 30 dollar haircut throw another dollar in. easy.

this is exactly what I'm talking about, you contradicted yourself immediately. Should the tip be $5 or $1?

and is it a flat fee or a percentage, in which case 1/30 is definitely not 20% that other posts are saying is standard

im saying 20% or 5 bucks, whichever is higher

oh I see. if you apply 20% to every service and don't think about it any further it is easy enough to remember and understand, but outside of the leftist subforum of the dead comedy forums people are constantly trying to find loop holes to undertip and I suppose neurodivergent people unhappy about tipping culture are exposed to this

His monograph, Terror Capitalism: Uyghur Dispossession and Masculinity in a Chinese City (Duke University Press, 2021), examines emerging forms of media, infrastructure, economics and politics in the Uyghur homeland in Chinese Central Asia (Ch: Xinjiang). The book, which is based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork among Uyghur and Han internal male migrants, argues that Chinese authorities and technologists have made Uyghurs the object of what it names “terror capitalism.” It shows that this emergent form of internal colonialism and capitalist frontier-making utilizes a post-9/11 discourse of terrorism, what he shows produces a novel sequence of racialization, to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems.

Can't believe the Chinese would do Terror Capitalism. That sounds so much more evil than the capitalism we all know and love
