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

in my household if I flipped a coin one of my roommates would steal it out from under me so nuh-uh not gonna happen

sometimes i flip a coin just because i'm in the middle of a football field and everyone seems to get angry at me when i don't

As the coin spun in the air, I suddenly realized "I want it to come up tails"

And he put down the razor blade.

I like to imagine the person in the pic throwing the coin up in the air and then getting tackled by a linebacker before it lands

yes plz.

^^^ doesn't understand how fertilization happens

I dunno, "inside" seems the right word ..

that raises a number of questions that are too stupid to pose individually.

I for one welcome our new giant chthonic overlords shortly to break free from their imprisonment within the earth, destroying it utterly.

If somebody blew up my cat I sure as shit wouldn't respond by selling t-shirts.

If the Internet continually makes fun of your wife for soliciting free labor for her profit-making enterprise, MAKE GOOD ART.

shared by an old friend via facebook, but nsfw, as far as I'm concerned. also, "doing it wrong" as far as I'm concerned, but whatever.

NO. EVERYTHING IS EQUIVALENT. THERE IS NO NUANCE. ALL CAPS FOREVER.

Well ...

Not that I agree with the meme as it is there, and I distrust the motivations and assumptions behind it. Putting something in a film does not = saying it to someone. Saying you should be able to put something in a film also does not = thinking it's fair to say it to someone/do it to someone.

But ... Tarantino as famous director of post-modern films does 'get away' with using the word nigger in his films, or using graphic violence in his films, culturally, in that there exists a demographic of critics, professional or just you and me, who wd see his stuff and think it was cleverly making a point, but see the same stuff elsewhere and assume sincerity.

South Park/Family Guy also. Also Roman Polanski if we want to stretch this.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree on THAT, particularly in Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction where the word is not only uttered but by him himself and is truly unnecessary in the context.

Only focused on the meme itself here!

I just hate false equivalencies, or people's insistence that you can't criticize X unless you also previously criticized Y, particularly if X and Y are false equivalencies. See also: response to ppl on the Internet calling out sexism in anything anywhere, my right wing family frothing at the mouth about the Chicago Machine any time I criticize GOP's position on anything.

A friend of mine (who is a very sweet young woman, a local performer) was expressing her horror at seeing a local Klansman, in full regalia, spreading hate messages outside a 7-11. Maybe something that you get desensitized to if you see it a lot, but she hadn't before.

Naturally, not 3 replies from friends goes by when a woman posts "Why weren't people up in arms when <some minority> was criticizing white people?". And later dropping gems like "I can't get a 'handout' as I'm not a minority".

Later I found out it was my friend's aunt, who later blocked her after she rightfully got a sea of criticism (mostly from me and 2 other folk). Sometimes family is rough.

Yup. And anyway, quite a lot of people *did* get pissed off/criticise Tarantino, right?

Yeah, I mean the commentary on why Tarantino seemed to believe he was allowed to appropriate the n-word for his own has been going on since the late 90s, really. albeit it tends to get buried amongst all of the other things people criticize him for.

Matt Drudge got really angry.

People have become desensitized to seeing in person members of the KKK dressed in their starched white sheets? I have never seen anyone like that IRL, would likely lose my shit if I did, and hell, I live in the home state of the KKK's national headquarters.

that rainbow is so annoyed it's just fucking off into the sea

had to explain to someone why a Straight Pride Parade is a bad idea. Worse yet - this was someone who believes heavily in gay rights!

What about a Homepride parade?

During the worst times in your life, people will queue up to take advantage of you, hiding their true colours to a degree rarely attained during the better times of your life.

During the worst times in your life, people will take on demeanours of heightened monstrosity or loveliness, for the most part, undeserved, and projected by yourself. The result is often a spiral of worsening times.

now that's a hell of a meme

man what ocean has the water with words printed on the surface like the picture, must visit...

I wish I was god so I could make dumb words appear in the sky.
