Well, I just had apple and gouda quesadillas. I seasoned the apple with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, spiced rum, maple syrup, and just a hint of powdered jalapeño.

It was a pretty simple and delicious dish that probably would've tasted better if I hadn't accidentally burned two of them slightly.

On top of this, an overwhelming portion of trump votes were in rural areas... Ya know, people who don't go cruising Facebook for memes

People in rural areas that would've overwhelmingly voted for anyone who had an R beside their name on the ballot as shown by historical election results. Because of the way the electoral college works, those overwhelmingly Republican rural voters actually had next to no impact on the results of the election, in much the same way that overwhelmingly Democratic voters in large metropolitan areas have next to no impact on election results.

Because those votes can be taken as given.

This is much more blatant and effective as a meddling strategy than what happened in the US in 2016.

Are you claiming that network/cable television has a broader international reach and ability to spread than social media? Do you have evidence to support this assertion? Are you aware of what year it is?

In addition, are you arguing that media spreading what, in most cases, were well-researched facts in a humorous format is somehow more insidious than what, in most cases, were blatant fabrications specifically designed in a way that would maximize their ability to spread, usually by appealing to outrage?

It's not healthy, so accepting it is counterproductive. Not to mention people will like you less and there's really no doing anything about that short of losing weight.

Well, liking people less because they have a weight problem is also counterproductive. Not to mention people will like you less, and there's really no doing anything about that short of treating other human beings with dignity, decency, and respect.

Why the shit is antifa on the ancap side of that spectrum? Most of them are decidedly anti-capitalist.

Why is antifa ancap when most of them are ancap?

Ancap is an abbreviation for Anarcho-capitalist, not anti-capitalist.

Antifa should be firmly between anarcho-communism and anarcho-socialism.

I'm pretty sure a similar thing happened at a Starbucks during the rescue efforts after 9/11. And, like this Best Buy, it was an isolated incident involving one or two employees fucking up/being shady, and definitively wasn't corporate policy at all.

well fine. just don't be surprised when the puncher go to jail. everyone has free speech, even the most abhorrent. You can hate what they say. but if you attack them, you are the criminal, not them. the only way to fight a nazi without going to jail is if the nazi attacks first. but if the nazi is just talking and you punch.....

Jail, sure. Prison, probably not, because good luck finding the jury that'll convict someone for punching a Nazi.

Actually, there are cases where our Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that any hate speech law would be in violation of our First Amendment rights.

There's also a case where the Supreme Court ruled that films did not qualify as protected speech, because they were business, not art: Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio, 236 U.S. 230 (1915)

That later got overturned.

GitS taught me that only westerners care about white-washing.

Wait, you mean people who live in countries where white people aren't the plurality of the population don't really care about white people playing people of other races? I wonder why that could be.

Also, that really makes the people who complain about non-white people playing characters who were white in the source material in western film adaptations look terrible by comparison.

Thuggish became an adjective which made thug the noun of thuggish, Nazi didn't become a noun of nazish since that adjective never happened.

"Thug", as a term meaning "ruffian, cutthroat, violent lowbrow" first appears in 1839. "Thuggish" didn't enter the English lexicon until 1870.

Ergo, "thug" gained its meaning of "ruffian, cutthroat, violent lowbrow" by semantic broadening via an association with the views and behavior of the historical "Thugs" (which itself was a pejorative for the phanseegur that came from the Marathi pejorative "thag", meaning "cheat, swindler"), which is almost exactly like how "nazi" gained its meaning of "racist, anti-semite, or fascist" by semantic broadening via an association with the views and behavior of the historical "Nazis" (which itself was a pejorative for the NSDAP that came from the German pejorative "Nazi", meaning "foolish person".)

Don't make etymological arguments when you're ignorant of etymology.

Well, first of all, usage evolves with time; that's how language works.

The name of a historical group doesn't change over time.

No, you're right, the name didn't change. But the meaning did by semantic broadening, which is a thing that happens in language all the time.

Funny how I don't see you and your ilk arguing that people are using "thug" wrong when they're not referring to a member of a historical band of assassins who worshiped the Goddess Kali.

Prove it scientifically that it's not a mental condition and we can talk.

This study by Zhou, et al. suggests that there are similarities in brain biology between transgender and cisgender women, and likewise, differences in brain biology between transgender women and cisgender men, even when controlling for hormones:
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v378/n6552/abs/378068a0.html?foxtrotcallback=true

This study by Heylens, et al., by noting the concordance of GID in monozygotic (identical) twins and the comparative lack of concordance of GID in dizygotic (non-identical) twins, suggests that there is a genetic factor in whether someone will have GID.
http://www.jsm.jsexmed.org/article/S1743-6095(15)33906-0/fulltext

These studies, though admittedly limited in sample size, at least suggest a high probability that being transgender isn't purely mental in origin or effect.

You're really doubling down on this stupidity. It's also ironic since if he called a mannish-looking cis woman a man it wouldn't have attracted any attention, whereas he called a MtF who still looks more M than F a man and there's pearl-clutching galore.

You think that might have anything at all to do with the fact that gender identity is way more important to trans people than cis people?

And you don't think that cis people don't take it way too seriously as well? Pretending that it's somehow unique to trans doesn't make it unique to trans.

When did I say it was unique to trans people, Zeus? I implied that, because gender identity is more important to trans people than cis people, those who would react to someone being misgendered, trans- and cis- alike, would react more strongly and vocally to someone misgendering a trans person than they would to someone misgendering a cis person.
