Why does quality research look so much like the ravings you might find in a padded cell somewhere?

Cause photoshop can't fit on the budget.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I'm beginning to see why people might want to switch from github...and it's funny, people were recommending people switch from SourceForge to github not too long ago...

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

The whole 'revereisms' is stupid to ebgin with. It's just racisim.

 

NEWSFLASH: Racism  is NOT a white only disease. Only racists think it is.

\

Plus, technically, white men don't have the power since a black man is the 'most powerful' person in the world and China is the true 'powerhouse' since they own a lot of the US debt. :p

\

So, if I use that nasty anti Chinese slu I'm not being racist white because they have the power? L0L

 

NO. That would still be racist.

 

EVIL.

Not it isn't but most of this argument is centered in white majority countries which have a long history of racism and still retain some vestiges of it. Even the white leftist brand of acceptance is incredibly condescending and racist. The thing is that SJW have confused white structures with white people and instead of making sure that there's equity and fairness for everybody they instead pit one against the other.

Hahaha, quality research by anon:

That comes across as really desperate. Not even sure what it is trying to say.

 

 

1. McIntosh from FF has a Flickr account

2. Upon browing it, you can find pictures of Anita and him travelling to a Maroccoan wedding, which has some patriarchical bent (=problematic)

3. The album description tells of them being there with pals and sisters as they call it. One of them being Suomaya Akaaboune, who just happens to be Elliot Rogers step-mother

4. Elliot Rogers was the virgin (supreme gentleman) that killed a bunch of girls and guys, who he accused of denying him sex or stealing his "loves" from him

5. Anita's comments on Elliot being a result of the 'toxic masculinity' that presumely exists in western society

6. It's a small world sometimes

Come on Meshugger, are you accusing Saint Anita of being a fraud and a hypocrite?  Dude, we've been through this.  She's a woman, you can't ever question a woman.  If you do question a woman you're sexist.  It's science.

Gender is social construct anyway, so either i choose to identify as a woman and therefore can critize her from within her own power structure, thus legitimizing my point of view, or i recognize the existence of gender being a construct of the mind and therefore not objectively existing, which in turn means that her gender does not exist and my argument has to be met by in itself.

 

Either way, i win.

Too late. After winning the argument i chose to identiify as an attack-helicopter, and i do not consent to you adressing me at all. Check your privilege, you flesh-able ****lord!

Discussion pruned.

 

Can nobody read? The forum guidelines don't allow circumventing the language filter. The opening post clearly states in GIANT LETTERS that circumventing the language filter will get your posts deleted. If you want to argue with what words are censored, take it up with Fionavar. Until it changes, the rules are the rules and you have to follow them. This bull got the thread closed last time, if you want that to happen again keep going.

Happened across some news about Sims 4, saw it was terrible, then took the opportunity to feed my Schadenfreude gland by browsing all the corners of the internet that suggested EA was actually getting the reception they deserve.


While browsing, I happened across this and thought you guys might enjoy it:

Racism is racism regardless of the skin-colour of those involved, and sexism is sexism regardless of the pelvis-equipment belonging to the participants involved.

What they mean is systemic racism and systemic sexism, which are very real and very harmful.
But they should say systemic racism/sexism and not delude themselves that it is the only form of racism/sexism.

If a person gets attacked because of the color of his skin that was a racist attack, regardless of what that color is.

When in doubt, blame the elves.

 

I have always hated the word "censorship", I prefer seeing it as just removing content that isn't suitable or is considered offensive

That leaves some hope for the next generation; there is a definitive push-back now. Wonderful!

I see he was using literally in the figurative sense

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Io9 did an article about how there are too many white people in movies and the most liked comment on the facebook post is "**** off io9"

 

I see more and more like that every day. People are getting sick of it.

A consequence of the limitations of Privilege Theory.

 

Although it does point out legitimate societal grievances and biases it fails to provide a concrete reason as to why these biases exist or what should be done about them. Because of this they are incapable of seizing the problem by its roots and instead focus on trimming the leaves and in doing so leave the issue entirely in place all the while antagonizing potential allies.

 

Naturally the internet being the internet will not wade through the bull**** and examine the pros and cons but instead find whoever is the extreme opposite of those who advocate privilege theory and latch onto that.

So, SPJ Airplay is going on at the moment.

Apparently it was just disrupted by a bomb threat.
