Please forgive my ignorance. But what is the "becky" meme? To what stereotype does she supposedly represent? Is it from "Becky with the good hair" from the Beyonce song?

I know Karen only as a "can I speak to the manager?", or the kind of person who sends food back and gets lovely at the underpaid wait staff kind of person. I didn't know that Karen also meant the white woman who called the cops on the black family having a BBQ, (was her name in real life Karen?).

The F+ actually answered the question of "what is a male Karen?" in one of their earlier episodes. It's Gary.

Well there's some tentative evidence that the majority of people who are sexually attracted to prepubescent children never act on it because they know it's damaging and thus highly immoral. I guess it's not fair to shelve those people in with outright sexual predators?

Pedovore still sounds like some sort of specialized cannibal though. Clearly we need to start calling these cultists fishermen after Albert Fish. I see no confusion or complications as a result of this.

We've seen protests and marches in places like Utah, so I do think it's happening to some extent. But the biggest thing is that George Floyd's murder was so cut and dry obvious that even staunch conservatives couldn't come up with an argument for it. Even Dinesh D'Souza called the cop a murderer (but he still made sure to couch it in mega-racism).

That really isn't a fair assessment either since the real selling point is "you can play as a Satanist Patrician of Venice in 900 whose great-great-great-grandchild will be the anti-christ"

I could've sworn that they basically made the Assassins and Templars an apolitical version of the left-right divide, with the bad people being the extremists on both sides. Granted, I checked out of the story after Unity.

I suppose it's possible that less than 1/12 of the slaves went to the US specifically, especially because there were some long periods where the US didn't (legally) accept new slaves for trade, opting to let them reproduce (and in many cases, to my knowledge, specifically pairing people off) to get more.

One emoji is used to convey an idea, three emojis is emphasizing it. It's become universal language at this point. So it's hilarious how many people conveniently ignore it when they're looking for reasons to be outraged.

If someone's being a clown you end your sentence in 🤡. If they're being such a loving clown that they've become Twitters main character, you use 🤡🤡🤡.

Here's Kareem Carr, the guy James Lindsay tried to cancel, explaining why 2 + 2 does equal 5 in certain contexts: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a33547137/why-some-people-think-2-plus-2-equals-5/

Notably, despite what his bad-faith critics say, it's not because everything is meaningless and facts don't matter.
