girlfriend-without-benefits is arguably better than friends-with-benefits

Like, most of that is bullshit, but the "gender based insults" part is definitely the most hilarious

I mean, if your girlfriend-without-benefits doesn't expect you to be exclusive, sure. Otherwise, lol no.

She definitely does but the good news is I don't really care about lying to women.

Also at this point my only other prospect is that Canadian girl who dumped me over the summer. Trying to get back in her good graces.

God I love THE CURRENT YEAR of politics

Mr. Trump hailed the men as "special people" who have an ultimate "love of the country." He also took the solemn occasion to acknowledge the history of the native people in America while seemingly slamming Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, as Pocahontas, a reference to claims she made about being part Native American in the past.

"You're very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas. But you know what. I like you. Because you are special, " Mr. Trump remarked.

well, he can behave like a man when he wants to I guess

If you are not in danger, you should go back to your country, Macron said. You are not in danger in Morocco. I cannot give French papers to everyone who doesnt have them. How would I deal with the people who are already here and cant find a job?

https://www.usnews.com/news/the-run/articles/2017-11-28/elizabeth-warrens-pocahontas-pickle

A hidden gem in this one:

The coverage following Trump's remark on Monday mostly revolved around his sheer audacity to launch a political attack during a White House ceremony meant to honor Navajo code talkers who served in World War II standing beneath a portrait of Andrew Jackson and the charges that he invoked a racial slur in doing so. To many Native Americans, Pocahontas is not a Disney movie character, but a historic figure who suffered countless indignities before being murdered at the age of 21.

...

In the meantime, someone is monetizing the kerfuffle on Warren's behalf.

Visit the website Pocahontas.com and you will be redirected to Warren's campaign page for her 2018 reelection, where a request for a donation pops open.

So when he invokes a tragic figure who was murdered by evil white men, it's a racial slur. When she uses it to solicit donations, no problems whatsoever.

Pocahontas was invented by Disney so it's okay to rip them off

foolmo casually dismissing the suffering and seriousness of sexual assaults committed against women of color, I see
---

Smuffin trying to sarcastically do an SJW style flare up but now realizes it's the only genuine reaction he knows after all these years of ideological degradation, effectively making him exactly the person he claims to hate

all because he missed my joke and actually believes Disney invented Pocahontas?
---

I would bet a considerable amount of money that the website Pocahontas is bought and used by a right wing group

whether or not it's used as a racial slur depends on the context, yes. this is the case for all racial slurs.

Yes, and the "context" in this case is:

Right-winger person says it: Racist
Left-winger person says it: Not racist

yeah, all the native americans who were offended by trump's comment were solely offended because it was said by a right-wing person. i'm glad you understand native american culture so well.

Talk about arson, murder, and jaywalking... here's Fox News on Matt Lauer

Lauers behavior with women at NBC included luring a female employee into his office and exposing his penis to her, giving a sex toy as a gift and playing the game "f--k, marry or kill."

Surely those three things deserve to be grouped together in the same general category!

Study reveals media pressure has almost no effect on body image and eating disorders.

http://www.christopherjferguson.com/Who%20Is%20the%20Fairest.pdf

From the literature reviewed to this point we conclude several points:
1. Genetic effects on both eating disorders and body dissatisfaction are clearly the strongest effects, accounting for approximately 40% to 80% of the variance (Bulik, Sullivan, & Kendler, 1998; Keski-Rahkonen et al., 2005; Klump et al., 2001; Spanos, Burt, & Klump, 2010; Wade, Wilkinson, & Ben-Tovim, 2003) in such outcomes.
2. Among social factors, peer inuences, both active and passive, exert the most powerful inuence on body dissatisfaction.
3. Media effects on body dissatisfaction remain generally small and inconsistent, particularly when other factors, such as peer inuence, are controlled.

Finally, someone starting to move on what I've been saying for years - if climate change is such a huge risk, why isn't it accounted for AT ALL in terms of property values. Muni bonds aren't property values exactly, but similar logic is in use here.

Although it's super dishonest of them to use a photo of Hurricane Harvey. Which had nothing to do with climate change. And Houston isn't even a "coastal community." The flooding had absolutely nothing to do with "proximity to the coast."

http://thehill.com/policy/technology/361722-facebook-opens-second-german-office-to-comply-with-hate-speech-law

The new office, combined with an existent office in Berlin, will boost the number of people reviewing posts in Germany to more than 1,200 by the end of the year.

Over 1,000 people whose full time job is to delete public commentary the regime disapproves of. This is different from 1984 how, exactly?

facebook isn't the government.
---

They are doing it solely because the government requires them to. They are a middleman, it's still the government driving the work.
---

it's not like 1984 if they only care about facebook, though. the article doesn't state hate speech gets deleted from myspace.
---

Uh, they are doing it to comply with hate speech laws.

I highly doubt the government passed a law saying "Hate speech isn't allowed on Facebook, but is allowed everywhere else."
---

i'm sure that's what the law says, i'm just wondering how they're going to enforce the law.

i'm sure they're deleting stuff from facebook because facebook is big as fuck, but what about myspace? gamefaqs? some obscure site nobody has heard of?

https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-12-01/report-police-failed-to-protect-public-free-speech-at-deadly-charlottesville-rally

Hey cool, pretty much exactly what I've been saying since the beginning:

"The City was unable to protect the right of free expression and facilitate the permit holder's offensive speech. This represents a failure of one of government's core functionsthe protection of fundamental rights," the report said. "Law enforcement also failed to maintain order and protect citizens from harm, injury, and death. Charlottesville preserved neither of those principles on August 12, which has led to deep distrust of government within this community."

But I guess if the end result is fewer people trusting the government, we can declare it to be a successful rally after all!

man you really were ahead of the curve

According to your morality, no guilt attaches to those who give orders, only to those who carry them out. So by that logic you should be blaming Facebook.

The point of 1984 isn't that some things you say in very specific places are censored

I forgot if Israel is supposed to be a Democrat or Republican thing but there have definitely been lots of accusations thrown around about their collusion over the years
