  • [meta] Please ban comics by bigoted artists

    Jump

  • If we had a rule against bigotry, and a poster breaks that rule twice, ban them.

  • [meta] Please ban comics by bigoted artists

    Jump

  • So would we ban posting Dilbert comics because Adams went wacko when he got older? Do we ban artists from the 50s because some of them were racist, even if we're not posting those ones?

    I think it makes sense to not allow hateful and bigoted comics, for sure. And that rule would get rid of jago.

  • Work harder, slave, or no promotion.

  • Everyone likes to shit on MBA language, but it's simply the language of a subculture.

    I know exactly what freeing up bandwidth to work on a higher priority project means. It's not nonsense. Sure, they could say they "sent useless work to the intern so they could do something more important". But that's not the language the culture uses.

    What's next, are we going to shit on ebonics too? How about shitting on tech speak? It's not any less incomprehensible to those outside the bubble.

    Anyway, that's not to you specifically, just this whole thread reeks of a superiority complex.

    World poverty has been on a steady and dramatic decline (except Covid year) since the year 2000.

    Jump

  • This is pretty bad. There's no underlying sources. No units. What does "under 5.5" even mean?

    Anyway. It's only poverty if it meets the criteria the rich have set. Otherwise it's just sparkling struggle.

  • We mock the people that named Mars after the god of war because it looked like blood, calling them ignorant and superstitious. But Mars is red because of the iron content, and so is blood. So really

    Jump

  • Yeah, fucking stupid Romans and their propensity for naming planets after the literal gods they believed in.

    What?

  • Deleted

    Um... yeah that'll work

  • "My black is blacker than your black"

    Plus, how can I remember the name of the song when the lyrics are basically the sound of two wolverines mating.

  • There's not such thing as a vegan billionaire.

    Jump

  • I didn't realize that part of being vegan was not exploiting people?

  • To independently invent the concept of writing in which sounds are encoded into symbols from which an infinite number of words can be assembled, you must be a genius

    Jump

  • You see genius. I see hundreds or thousands of normal people adding a little bit each over a long period of time.

    The pyramids weren't built by a giant, but by the work of many many normal folks. This is the same.

  • It's like the black mold adapting to nuclear waste. It's incompatible with life and most things won't survive.

  • You can make people happier by taking a small amount from their wallet weekly and then later "gifting" them all the money you took from them... that's what a tax refund is...

    Jump

  • What I'm getting from your post is people are happy when they don't need to do math.

  • Conservative women criticize women

    Jump

  • That's quite the leap. I hope you stretched first.

  • Possible ADHD Behavior: Listening to Audiobooks and Podcasts Faster

    Jump

  • People buy audio books?

    Fools. I'm over here with ten library cards.

  • Ultimately, every thought is intrusive

    Jump

  • "Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, involuntary, and often disturbing images, urges, or ideas that pop into the mind unexpectedly. They are generally unsettling, violent, sexual, or taboo, yet they do not reflect a person’s actual desires, character, or intentions. While often harmless, they can cause distress or indicate anxiety, OCD, or trauma."

  • Ultimately, every thought is intrusive

    Jump

  • "gee I want grapes" - not intrusive, even if unexpected.

    "Gee I should swerve into incoming traffic" - intrusive

  • Things I thought were huge problems when I was a kid

    Jump

  • We've effectively cured all fires by inoculating ourselves with the "stop drop and roll" vaccine.

  • Anyone else have trouble getting meds and feel discriminated against?

    Jump

  • It's a cruel situation where you need a lot of executive function to get meds to treat your lack of executive function.

    That said, I don't have to drive more than ten minutes for my meds. But I'm also in the suburbs. If you're in a rural area, your medical access possibly sucks.

  • The best proof that witchcraft and magic doesn't work is the life of one man

    Jump

  • That I don't respect him. He's a dirty dirty girl and I'm going to treat him like the removed he is.

    Consensually of course.

  • The implication of that

    Jump

  • Except I'm not the one making claims. If all you have is two conflicting anecdotes, then the best you can say is that you know nothing and keep your mouth shut.

    So on this topic, we know nothing and should keep our mouths shut.

  • Going to bed is just setting your body and brain down in a safe place, so you can use them later.

    Jump

  • Your bed is just a shelf you store your body on when not in use.
