why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

Richard Dawkins gives me a headache.

Good old Humpty Dumpty semantics.

Richard Dawkins‏@RichardDawkins5h
Easy for Dawkins to criticise the soft target of Christianity. http://bit.ly/15zvscE He doesn't have the guts to take on Islam.

It seems pretty apparent that by "Dawkins" in this tweet, he meant "Rowan Atkinson".

not sure why we're on the facebook thread with this, btw.

Still trying to work this out...

When the creator of that enters a dark room, he turns the light off switch off

music on world off makes total sense to me

You can either switch the world off or switch the music on, but not both at once.

The meme creator is pointing out that we live in a dark age of neither music nor world.

actually if you assume that world and music only have two, binary states -- off and on - then the only way to read it is that music and world are either both on or both off at the same time.

a damning condemnation of world music imo

hahaha

I think we need a double-pole double-throw switch for this scenario

can pig feel more

not really, no

Is that Cammie from Street Fighter?

Reminds me of that run we had last year where some feeder posted about digging into the folds of fat on his vict^H^H^H^Hlover
Kinda wondering now if that's a thing. "Feeder" texts over "thinspo" pictures.

anyone over 18 posting about not "fitting in" really needs their adulthood credentials revoked

That Grimes post is OTM.

^^

I also liked the Grimes post

I think it is dire

Exactly which bit of a post that says "I'm sick of female musicians being sexualised, objectified and harassed" do you have a problem with, pinefox?

Presumably he means "female musicians being sexualised, objectified and harassed" is dire, to be fair.

its cool except the parts about being taken out of context and being called cute, one should not complain about those things

"im tired of being congratulated for being thin because i can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway"

stealth brag

most of it seemed right to me though

xp yeah was gonna say, people call muscular men cute all the time, myself included. the post's heart was in the right place though. i don't know who grimes is except it sounds like she's a musician, is the context behind the post important in that sense?

stealth brag muscular man

did we ever establish that the answers to the titular question in this thread are "because it is terrible" and "skot you are totally not a jerk"? because it bums me out sometimes, skot you are not a jerk

why am i bringing milk to this disgusting baby?

^ fascist cop

You guys recognize that men calling women cute is not equivalent to people calling men cute, right? Due to power imbalances and gender stereotypes and the constantly reinforced idea that women's value lies primarily in how aesthetically pleasing are to men and the focus on women's looks over everything else they do/say? xp

sry no one gets to complain abt being called cute, its the law

don't be cute lag∞n

i can be cute, its my right, citizens arrest

you guys are so cute

i'b cute! i'b cute!

yeah, but the thin line in particular rang hollow to me -- even her choice of words made her sound pretty pleased with herself "because i can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway"

plus I doubt it's mostly men "congratulating" her for being "thin" idk I could be wrong

one man's "congratulating" is another man's "hey get off my ass!"

grimes on my ass

huh?

in the description it said it was promoting a new campaign called ICE where you put your emergency contact in your phone as ICE (In Case of Emergency) so that if you get run over they know who to call

that graphic is doing a very poor job of communicating that tho
