I guess I don't know exactly how expulsion works. Is this a private school or a public school? Can they still bus or drive to a different school if they're expelled?
Yes - they should get in trouble, but if this completely destroys their chances of completing their education then expulsion would be excessive. It's bad enough that shit spreads so quickly online and there are thousands of self important people out there that would probably call the next school they're enrolled at and demand they get expelled from there.
They're dumb kids doing edgy shit, and while it's not okay and they should be punished - again, I don't think that creating martyrs in the solution that this generation seems to deem appropriate for every single situation.

The artificial sweeteners can fool your body into wanting more sugar, which is why they can still cause weight gain. As far as the brain cancer shit goes, you would need a ton of the artificial sweeteners for it to have a significant affect on risk of brain cancer. The carbonation can also degrade the enamel of your teeth.

Agreed. I don't know why the fuck people nowadays try and defend this.

If we're strictly talking about pop music, then it's like:

Congrats on the worst take of the day.

Which part? '96-'13 being the worst era, or Craven only having had three great films? Because neither should be that controversial unless you have awful, awful taste.

RadiantJoyrock posted...

Scream revitalized the slasher genre, not all of horror. There were tons of prominent slasher movies(and even more less prominent) following scream's revitalization and twisting of the formula. The Faculty, Urban Legends, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Halloween H20, all were heavily inspired by the more grounded take that Scream brought to the genre. There's extremely good reason that Craven is considered one of the best horror directors of all time.

Every film you named is an awful movie. Pretty cool that Scream helped influence tons of bad movies, and harkened the worst era for horror film arguably in the entire history of the medium? I don't know what criteria and conventions are being used to define the slasher subgenre - but I'm sure that it was never dead.
And Wes Craven had Last House on the Left, People Under the Stairs, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Then everything else was average at best.

Scream is probably a better film objectively, but neither are particularly good films.

Also people need to quit making up stories about Scream "revitalizing" anything. 1996 to 2013 was probably the single worst time for horror films since the '50s, and especially for American horror cinema. The best films from that awful time period owe nothing to Scream. Martyrs, High Tension, The Blair Witch Project, Let the Right One In, Audition, etc. all owe just about nothing to Scream. The only worthwhile films where you can see a clear influence were The Craft and maybe Ginger Snaps (even though that's probably a stretch). You could also say that Funny Games attempted something similar - but Heneke made a much, much more intelligent and eloquent film.

The only "good" argument I've ever seen was when someone said it made it so big stars were more willing to act in horror films post-Scream. That's literally the only good argument anyone has ever made.

I'm from Cleveland and I don't notice any difference living here in Michigan now.

Only like 3% (tops) of Americans are vegan and that's an optimistic high-ball from a veganism proponent

That's pretty different and unique

Maybe it's just different to people who are basic as hell? Literally known dozens of vegetarians and vegans in my life, from all different backgrounds.

I hate how everything she says/does has some air of being different, when she's not really different or unique at all. this is gen z in a nutshell

Whose definition of both? Mine?

Because I like my women like 150+ lbs.
I'd pick the 10/10 body if it's my standards, because I'm sick of dating women with normal sized asses.

Also infinitely better than The Forest (2016), all the Purge movies, and plenty of other shit.

Wait there's a Postal movie AND it was made by Uwe Boll. Lmfao sounds like an absolute dumpster fire that might be a so bad it's good

aside from all the stuff making fun of Muslims -- there's like a good 10-20% of the stuff that's actually moderately funny. I also said that I don't think that it's totally incompetently directed or edited or acted - and there are some big name actors in the film. Definitely not the worst shit I've seen by a long shot. Even if we're talking about big budget films - this is infinitely better than the Robocop remake.

thing I've ever seen. The whole "Uwe Boll is the worst director ever" thing -- is it just nerds pretending to be knowledgeable about stuff and parroting popular opinions per the usual?
It isn't like it's totally incompetently directed or edited, and the dialogue is the same racist, dick and fart stuff Eli Roth does - but the writing honestly isn't as bad as Roth's and is clever from time to time.

It's not good, but it's holding my attention.

It's just weird to jump on "leftists" here when it means you're getting in bed with supporters of a party who absolutely do not want to provide healthcare to all, or to help the homeless, mentally ill, drug addicted, or any other minority.

It's ironic that you're saying this - considering I'm a liberal and I can't tell you how many times I've heard "leftists" say that being liberal or moderate is worse than being conservative, etc. How many times I've agreed with people on the majority of issues, but because I called myself a liberal they said I didn't belong in a group -- or tried to shame anyone who's "liberal" out of the group. The number of times I've literally asked what beliefs or ideals are different, and they give me some completely factually incorrect shit like "liberals support military spending!" as if that wasn't a huge, huge issue back in the Bush and Kerry election and something liberals have talked about wanting to change for decades.

But I do think that people who think digital vigilantism, "cancelling," etc. are okay are literally as bad as conservatives to me. I also think they're even worse than conservatives on silencing political discourse. If it wasn't for those two things I'd probably call myself a leftist without having a disgusted taste in my mouth.

You should respond to my original post and not cry about one minor semantic point to avoid addressing the overall message.

What is there to address? I'm drawing an equivalency. I'm well aware that you can't record in nursing homes, and I didn't claim that people are being recorded in nursing homes.
I'm saying that recording someone with mental delay or cognitive issues in public, or recording a homeless person on heavy drugs making a public freakout is as bad as recording people with dementia. I'm suggesting that accountability shouldn't be even across the board, especially when there are bigger issues for why those people are acting that way -- ones they sometimes can't control.

TheOtherMike posted...

"Acting rapey" is literally sexual assault.

Okay, should I have said "making sexually explicit and inappropriate comments" or sexually harassing?
Maybe I used the wrong terminology there. I thought that was an all-encompassing term.

Guide posted...

Let me adjust:

It's stupid because it's a slippery slope fallacy predicated on the implication that bigotry should be excused if someone's abusing drugs, and that chris-chan's (unfortunately) well-documented life was covered by leftists instead of the 4chan community.

But go ahead, give some examples.

I'm in Chris Chan groups and lots of people who call themselves leftists say that she "deserved" it. Even if they weren't the original people who did the trolling back then -- they certainly find it excusable nowadays.

Trumble posted...

It makes a lot more sense when you realise it's about leftists getting their "fix" of calling someone out, and not out of genuine concern about the underlying issue.

This becomes more clear if you've ever spoken to a leftist when they think no one who isn't one of them is listening. Not universal, but a lot of them will gladly say far worse shit than the people they call out ever do, as long as they don't think they're going to get caught by the wider community doing so.

Exactly. It's not about trying to fix mental health or homelessness from drug abuse that can cause someone to have a public freakout. It's about finding the "bad guy."
It's not about empathy or trying to fix anybody's outlook - it's about public executions.

TheOtherMike posted...

This is literally the dumbest topic I've ever seen on CE. No one is going to dox dementia patients in nursing homes because it's illegal to record them or release their personal information. No one is going to dox dementia patients in nursing homes because they're dementia patients in nursing homes. People who are neurodivergent and/or have addiction problems but are still members of regular society will be responded to when their actions impact people around them. These are not valid excuses for shouting slurs at strangers or sexually assaulting people. Jfc.

I didn't say anything about sexual assault. Again - does that need to be repeated?
I was referred to dementia patients when I was talking about acting rapey. When I said acting rapey I was not referring to actual rape.

Makes me think of this

https://youtu.be/009Cgke9UY4

The original video was removed. So this version with commentary is all I could find

This is a great example.
When I was working at a nursing home there was a woman who all she'd say is "I don't like black" over and over again. There was another guy who'd get naked and dance on the tables, guys who would get erections when they'd be bathed by the nursing techs, etc.
My brother's ex wife worked at a nursing home and was told there was a dude who would suck his own dick in public sometimes, and you should just let him do it because if you say anything you'd startle him.
My girlfriend's grandpa right now disrobes and walks towards the tv naked. He goes to Chinese buffets and tries to kiss all the waitresses. He didn't realize who his own daughter was and made a pass at her.

Like severe dementia is real bad. People do and say awful shit - but they don't even realize it or remember it. There's a reason why STD rates are so high in most nursing homes.

Your argument is that sometimes drugs make people who aren't racist become racist? I've done a lot of drugs and that's never happened to me...

Everybody has internalized prejudices from living in our culture, as much as we should strive to try and reprogram them. It's also an easy tactic for someone of a type B personality to try and say the worst, most offensive thing they can say when they're backed in a corner. Also not everybody is the same and has the same social awareness or tact. It's almost like all humans are different, and they should be judged by the entire lot of their actions - what a concept?

I didn't say drug use. I said drug abuse. I also was talking about digital vigilantism and doxxing -- not murder, rape, etc.
I've seen plenty of videos of people strung out on some heavy shit, like meth or heroin, getting into public disagreements and throwing around slurs or being messy. You can tell those people in a lot of those videos are heavy users.
I'm not talking about someone being drunk or high at a frat party and using a slur in casual conversation.

I'm on the autism spectrum and I'm not a piece of shit, so what was Chris-Chan's excuse?

Holy shit bro, big fucking idea here - maybe because it's a FUCKING SPECTRUM?
And because being more susceptible to certain behaviors, disorders, diseases, etc. doesn't necessarily you'll always fall victim to them. Lots of people on the spectrum need consistency, and are afraid of otherness. This is why disordered eating is extremely common with them.
It doesn't help when she was more prone to a fear of otherness, is kind of pretty low functioning, was raised in a rural area by parents who were racists themselves, and was most active online during a time when there was tons of casual racism and it was okay to call people "x-lets" and stuff on online gaming.

Maybe some people are tired of people excusing racists, rapists, etc. even more and are tired of having to deal with racists and rapists. Being on drugs isn't an excuse for being racist.

"Oh sure, you're aggressively dehumanizing me, but it's OK because you're high"

nah

How is recognizing that people with severe cognitive issues should have a different level of accountability "excusing" them? Like for pretending to be an empathetic individual, you guys really do a great job at downplaying the horrific effects of heavy drug addiction.

And to address those points just personally, political identities aside:

I never would downplay covid-19. I work at a hospital that had a temporary RICU built, and I had to stock tube feeds to the unit. I passed by those rooms, saw the patients, read the death tolls on the white board that the medical team used on the unit, etc.
I don't believe any of the conspiracy theories. Not the reverse transcription of HIV, microchips, etc. any of that bullshit. If the government was going to do any "population control" they wouldn't start with healthcare workers - they'd start in low income neighborhoods, clearly, as they have in the past.
I never watched the Floyd video, so I won't pretend to have an opinion on something I know nothing about. But I will say that I'm well aware of police brutality, abuse of power, law enforcement egos, etc. -- systematic racism aside. I'm not surprised when any cop kills anybody when their fragile egos are threatened.

CableZL posted...

I really don't want to hear conservatives talk about "basic medical literacy" these days.
* Conservatives downplayed covid-19 from the beginning
* Conservatives continue to downplay covid-19 even after 588,000 people have died from it in the US alone
* Conservatives continue to disregard any data at all about covid-19 or medical/scientific evidence about how to slow the spread in favor of insane conspiracy theories
* Conservatives tried to defend Derek Chauvin ad nauseum as if George Floyd died from a drug overdose even though we watched what happened on video. The trial happened and multiple medical experts testified and established that lots of people survived with much higher levels of the related drugs George Floyd had in his system. That still didn't stop conservatives from trying to argue otherwise.

I'm not a conservative at all and never have been. Not even close.
I just don't like this new generation of people who excuse shit like digital vigilantism, don't believe in rehabilitation or discourse, etc.

I'm bringing up something really fucking important that nobody ever considers.
It's absolutely absurd to hold everybody to the same level of accountability, especially in the cases of people with severe cognitive issues.

This topic is so stupid in so many ways that I don't even know where to begin.

How is it stupid? There are plenty of examples of people with autism, mental delay, drug abuse issues, etc. that have been doxxed or victims of digital vigilantism. Which clearly points to medical illiteracy on those issues.

@bobbaaay

They tried to revive this line a few years ago in japan. Didn't go too well.

These look so goofy but cool at the same time.

doxxing people like Chris-Chan with autism, as well as random people in places like gas stations using slurs who're clearly under the influence of heavy drugs -- how soon until they start doxxing elderly people with dementia in nursing homes for being racist or rapey? Because basic medical literacy is expendable if it's for a supposed social cause.
