I like how Obama said "we have to get away from the idea that not saying "nigger" in public means racism isn't a problem", or words to that effect, and the press freaked out because Obama said nigger.

It's like, great job illustrating his point.

I've been seeing a shit ton of tweets with people saying "If Obama can say it, I should be able to".  Apparently a lot of people were just sitting around waiting for permission.

Obama's half white so that means white people can say nigger again, or at least say it half the time.

tl;dr

Meanwhile, on Facebook...

The lack of the Jews disappoints me.

"Transgenderism Kills Feminism

As conservatives and Christians have run away terrified by the prospect of having meaningless words like transphobic tossed at them, it might ultimately be, in a strange twist of fate, the feminists who take down the "transgender" narrative. If they ever figure out that "transgenderism" is a direct assault on their entire worldview, maybe it will prompt a full fledged civil war in the progressive ranks.

After all, according to mainstream feminist wisdom, there is no such thing as a "female brain" or a "female soul" or "feeling like a female." By the words of every liberal who has ever said anything on the subject of women's rights in the past four decades, how you dress, look, think, and feel have nothing to do with your womanhood. Usually it would be offensive and sexist to accuse a woman of acting like, thinking like, or feeling like a woman.

Yet now, suddenly, emotions and looks define a woman so severely that a man can actually become one if he claims to experience feelings that he assumes are feminine?

The whole thing contradicts itself.

Feminism and transgenderism say two opposing things about what it means to be a woman. In fact, feminists have come up with the term "neurosexism" to condemn the misogynistic and "pseudo-scientific" idea that male and females brains are different. But Bruce Jenner claims he has "the brain of a female," so how does this work? Do you mean to tell me that the only people who can have female brains are males?

Meanwhile, feminists regularly insist that the absence of a uterus and a vagina excludes men from having an opinion about things like abortion. So a man can't have ideas about women's issues because he lacks the correct anatomy, but he can actually be a woman despite lacking the correct anatomy?

How does that make any kind of sense?

Transgenderism and feminism cannot coexist. Progressives can't have both.

They'll just have to choose."

What the fucking shit?!?!?!!?

We need to nurture the special snowflakes IMO. For science and for the lawls!

Facebook will add Myspace groups the ones that mimic forums.

Well, it took a few months but it finally happened. Today, working at the community garden, i met my first truly mad vegan. I mean granted, this is a place where people are willing to pay for their own personal garden plot, so i guess it was inevitable. I was walking a can of gasoline back to the plot i was working on, when a skinny Russian man waves and says hi. It started out normal enough, but then he started talking about how veganism is God's Way to Eat, and how everyones wating wrong, and how meat is why we kill each other and make war. I smiled and nodded and walked away with a bag of Chinese Spinach for my trouble. Another days work in the garden

Best part is, I told my co-worker about this, he confirmed that the guy is known as Crazy Mike, because of course he is.

Emergency Chicken Wings.

This is both:

1) Rock.


2) Roll.

Well, it was down to:

1.  Quit.
2.  Be fired (which can be fun, but not this time).
3.  Wind up in jail for a long time.

2 and 3! DO YOU EVEN PUNK ROCK?!!?!?

Needs more triggers IMO.

That's entirely reasonable.

Nothing more to add than the implication that calling Trans* a mental disorder puts every other "long tail" behavior on the social construct scale in the same catagory.  Which either stigmatizes everything not generally considered "normal", or renders the term "mental disorder" irrelevant.

Feel the same way.

BAN ALL THINGS!

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH

Sup whiteboi

One of the things I've found really interesting is how difficult it is to pinpoint the 'main character' in the Avengers movies.

According to my screenwriting lecturer, every movie that has a coherent narrative needs to have essentially one main character - maybe one main character per storyline, and if in doubt, you pick the person who changes the most over the course of the movie.

I can see an argument for Tony Stark in the first Avengers, but in the second? It doesn't feel to me like any of the characters change any more radically than any of the others.

But I'm prepared to accept that Whedon, as a real master of moviemaking and storytelling, can break the rules and still get a result that works where almost anyone else would struggle.

The villian is the main character.
