I’ll be honest, with the exception of “Keep Us Connected” I absolutely hated the musical episode… except the first time they mentioned that it had affected a Klingon vessel. And then I powered through in the hopes of seeing Klingon musical time, and when it happened, it redeemed the whole thing for me. Better than I could have hoped.
Seriously, the part about him coming in to ask her when a project was finished and eventually yelling that he needs a date sounds like she was waffling, waffling, waffling, and he was asking for a simple answer he could work with.
“I need to know an estimate of when you’ll have this portion of the project completed.”
“Well, there’s this thing that’s having problems with this, and we’re working through this. This other thing…”
“I understand, but I need a timeline so we can give the other team an idea when to expect it.”
“So the thing is, there’s this portion of the project…”
“For the… I NEED A DATE! A DATE!”
“That’s sexual harassment.”
Seriously, try being the candidate talking shit about an astronaut and decorated servicemember. “I like people who stay on Earth.” Well I don’t!
What indicates what on that map? There are two white and one black marker
It does make me a little uncomfortable to see intimate displays of affection in public. It doesn’t matter if it’s straight or gay or whatever.
That obviously should have no effect on them. I have gotten comfortable with the discomfort, which is what people should generally do. It’s not their problem to deal with, it’s mine.
Are we “seppos” because we are septic tanks, or are we supposedly inclined to have septic tanks?
Because I’ll lightly disagree with one of those, only because most people I’ve met and places I’ve lived have used public sewage systems.
Edit: nevermind, read further on the definition page. It’s a rhyming thing (kind of?) and we’re full of shit. I’m on board with that.
I constantly get headaches in the back of my head (and creep forward along the top) and take medication for high blood pressure. Didn’t realize those two were connected.
It feels like you set this up on purpose, lol.
That hit surprisingly hard and unexpectedly. I don’t remember any of the rest of that episode, but I remember that tiny bit very clearly.
I think it’s less about “going high” than it is not alienating people in your own group. You can’t make fun of disabilities on the other side (with the exception of a clinical lack of empathy) without the collateral damage of also making fun of people on your side with those disabilities.
Somebody posted a picture of a Harry Potter book burning in what I believe was a bird bath.
I commented that it was ironic that two groups so diametrically opposed as those that don’t like shitty TERFs, and crazy Fundamentalists that not only believe magic is real, but also Sinful, would protest the books in that way for such completely different reasons.
The person posting said something about “hurr durr mah both sides,” some people corrected them that I wasn’t saying they were the same, just that it was bizarre that they agree on something at all, much less that… and then the mod removed my comment (I believe the same that wrote the comment responding to mine).
So… sometimes mods here can show poor reading comprehension and remove things for no reason as well.
That’s a fair comparison, and would give me the appropriate “Oh shit!” that this headline just didn’t offer.
Even a single, well-known point of reference makes it better. We all know world income inequality is absolutely nuts. But to pick out a particular one needs at least some kind of reference point (unless it’s an Indian article for Indian people, like an article from the U.S. for the U.S.).
Do you break the law? Yes or no?
The answer is almost certainly yes, but it definitely requires context. Are we talking speeding? Murder?
It’s like on a physical health assessment I have to take yearly that asks if I’m a smoker with the options ofa pack a day or more, a pack a week, I quit smoking, or I have never smoked a cigarette.
Sometimes (often!) A simple yes or no doesn’t answer the context of the question.
What the hell are we doing?
We’re sending food as a humanitarian emergency operation to people starving from the seige perpetrated by the side we support with weapons. We’re helping to make them starve while sending “emergency aid” to them as if it’s not us keeping them in need of that aid.
The main purpose of words having meaning is to effectively communicate.
Ignoring the context that words are used and insisting on very narrow definitions is not only pedantic, but hinders the ideas being communicated.
The half-dog one is from Full Metal Alchemist.
It’s only half dog. Alchemically speaking.
And that would be white privilege. I’m not sure what you’re trying to convey here.
I mean, that’s true. It’s not “white privilege,” but it’s still privilege.
“But the body’s just… lying there. Right?”
DM stares
“Right?”
“Yes. Don’t…”
“LOOT THAT BODY, GONNA LOOT THAT BODY NOW. Loot that body, GONNA LOOT THE MUTHAFUCKAAA!”
