"If they removed porn from the internet, there'd only be one site left... and it would be called 'Bring Back the Porn!'" - Doctor Percival Cox

Almost every teenage goes through a phase where they think that criticizing things makes you sound smart. I did it. I have a teenager going through it right now.

Some people never grow out of it.

Are you claiming that straight people are suffering from a lack of representation? Straight people are represented everywhere in every single aspect of every part of all popular culture in every part of the world, and you know that.

What you're describing is not a lack of representation, it's jealousy that someone else is getting attention that you aren't getting. It seems like less of a movement for equality, and more of a childish temper tantrum, you know?

But if you want to start a straight pride group, go for it. It'll definitely do 2 things: 1) Tell everyone around you that you're the kind of person who would start a straight pride group, and 2) Even if it's not your intention, it'll be a LGBT hate group in less than a week, because thats who's most interested in straight pride.

This is actually a really good hospital. I imagine someone carlessly cut it for convenience, a stupid thing to do.

I think the protest is because then the hospital, instead of saying "Holy shit, I'm so sorry... this is terrible, what can we do to make up for it?"... they responded with "What hair?", "I think he probably cut it himself" and "No comment". That was compounding stupid mistakes.

It would be best to make the switch today. That has the dual benefit of a) Showing Google that they will lose users, and maybe they will change their mind (again), and b) Show every website that they do need to put actual effort into supporting and testing against Firefox.

Ganymede was a prince. He never boned Jupiter (or Zeus) as far as I know.

I mean... he's already a rapist, found to be 100% liable for his rape by a court, just this year.

And this article is claiming that a blow to his business reputation might change his story.

Rape is bad. People should really take notice of the raping thing.

Open the article.

Look at the picture of the criminal they are talking about, dressed in military gear, firing a canister of pepper spray, from a gun, at people.

Then see if you can continue to suggest that "attack" is the wrong word, using what you've learned.

Pretty sure that's John Hamm with photoshopped hair?

There have been a few notable school districts in my state that got duped by these people over the last 10 years or so, and the pattern is pretty much the same:

  • They get elected by not telling people what they actually beleive
  • They immediately start doing crazy stupid shit
  • They illegally shut down public meetings and comments
  • They illegally hire an independent lawyer at taxpayer expense to defend themselves
  • There is a recall election, and they are removed from office.

It's a huge waste of time and money, and in the end everyone hates these fucks even more than they did to start with, and people are even more interested in voting in local elections. I'm not sure it's a winning long-term strategy for the fascists. You could argue it works to get more progressives and moderates to the voting booth in the long run.

I'm 100% sure that it stands for Three-Letter-Acronym. The joke is that it's an inscrutable business acronym to make fun of inscrutable business acronyms.

I actually used to do this during orientation sessions at my old job. I'd tell the new hires that if they were ever confused by terminology or acronyms, they should never be afraid to ask, because if people are using jargon or TLAs that they don't follow, they will miss the context.

Then I'd pause. If anyone asked what a TLA was, I'd give them a candy bar.

Big fucking sigh. I've been an Android user since the T-mobile G1, and I have ferociously defended the platform against iPhone for that entire time.

Is there a 3rd option? Or do I have to learn to love the enemy? I won't be a part of the problem with privacy just because I'm too lazy to change.
