I don’t think it’s fair on her to ask her to make that concession. Or fair on our customers.

I was almost gonna comment on that on my last post on this thread. It’s that last bit that got me. Not “fair on our customers”? Obviously I don’t know what kind of job we’re talking about here exactly, other than that’s it’s something with customers who they’d be dealing with in public? Obviously nobody wants to be misgendered, but even if HE is always misgendered, would it really impact his ability to do the job and give the customers what they want? Like if you’re a customer at a fast food restaurant, for example, does it really matter to you if you thought the person working the drive thru was a “she” but they’re actually a “he”, as long as they got your order right and your food was good?

Matt Walsh #ableist

I meant to say more specifically that it's an incoherent, ridiculous term

I dunno, it seems to be a logical term to me! It’s literally like… “different brain”, ain’t it? That sounds like a perfectly cromulent term for people with things like autism and/or ADHD and such.

and I lose respect for anyone who uses it

If I don’t have Matt Walsh’s respect, then I think I’m right on track with how I want to be.

Jake Lang #wingnut #transphobia #homophobia

I guess congratulations, Jake Lang, you’re now my least favorite person named Jake that I know of. Ahead (or is that behind?) of Jake Paul, I guess.

My favorite Jake would of course be Aurelian Smith Jr, better known as Jake “The Snake” Roberts.

(look up Aurelian Smith Sr, better known as “Grizzly Smith”, if you wanna read some horrible stories…)

Pardoned January 6 Capitol rioter Jake Lang found himself humiliated in the second stunt of the weekend, when he crashed a convention in Seattle he thought was a gathering of "furries" — but was actually just a gathering of cat owners.

I heard about that the other day…that’s actually fucking hilarious, lol. I forget who it was now, there was that guy who said airline pilots were all furries? Maybe he should investigate those people, and see how well that goes over.

"This is sexualization of children ... what are you guys doing here? These people here, they dress up in these outfits, and they have sex with each other in these orgies every single weekend. Now they're inviting the children to come to their furry convention!"

I imagine there might have been some petting of little pussies. (couldn’t resist that one lol)

I know "marionette" is a gender neutral noun, but it looks female and it gave me very weird vibes applied to the Orange Failure.

Personally, that word just reminds me of the song “Symphony of Destruction” by Megadeth. “We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction” \m/

Matt Walsh #racist

Maybe Matt would say “it was a different time” or something, but I grew up in the 80s, in neighborhoods that were mostly if not all white. I don’t think I even saw one black person in school until I went to junior high. In that kind of environment, you better believe I saw some white people being racist as fuck against black people.(my parents raised me better than that, tho!)

Angie Jones #transphobia #dunning-kruger #pratt

The other option, and most likely outcome, is we don’t employ her.

Well, if he doesn’t get hired based on his gender identity, which you basically said is what should happen, don’t be too surprised if your workplace gets sued!

From Wikipedia:

Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. 644 (2020), is a landmark[1] United States Supreme Court civil rights decision in which the Court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

OK, I’d literally never heard of Deltarune before reading this quote. (I’m a old fart and hopelessly behind the times, I know lol) I looked up an image of the characters, and OK, like one’s a blue bird thing, there’s what looks like two actual skeleton people, there’s what looks like a deer girl or something, and what seems to a person with literally black skin and white hair….so yeah, I don’t get why someone would be upset about “brown people” cosplaying as them. Unless of course, they’re just an utter racist and don’t like to see brown people, period.

Only in the 1950s were middle class families able to pay a house with a single wage.

I first wanted to say “no, my parents did that in the 1980s”….but no, not quite. My dad had a pretty good paying job, but my mom often worked as well. We would have had A HOUSE on just my dad’s salary but probably not as nice of a one, or we wouldn’t have had as nice of stuff as he we did. (also, it seriously helps that my dad is like seriously impressively great at managing money in general lol)

J R #wingnut #dunning-kruger

Should we ban all cares because we people die from a car accident?

No, because for one thing, that’s totally different. Though, there certainly HAVE been massive recalls of certain models or cars because they were found to be unsafe. Perhaps the most infamous example was Ford’s 1970’s subcompact Pinto, which apparently had the unfortunate habit of bursting into flames if it got rear-ended.

David J Stewart #fundie #crackpot

From a Biblical viewpoint, Hinduism's thousands of gods and goddesses are demons. Hinduism is reminiscent of Greek mythology, teaching folklore and superstition for its beliefs (fairytales).

That seems a bit contradictory. If Hinduism is teaching “fairytales,” then their “thousands of gods and goddesses” don’t exist, right? Then how are they “demons,” any more so than gods that were created as intentional fiction, like say, HP Lovecraft’s Cthulhu, or Takhisis from the DragonLance books?

Also, I guess I kinda liked Julia Roberts as an actress, she was good, and pretty attractive (a “pretty woman” even, lol)…but other than that, I don’t see why I or anyone else should give a shit about her religious beliefs.

Oh OK, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKTN8CXyH4Q. If you have lettuce on it, it’s not a true shwarma, I guess.

Don’t believe there are more than 2 genders.

Well OK, fine. I mean, as anyone who reads my comments here would know, I consider myself to be 100% for LGBTQIA+ rights, for sure. But the way I see it, the two genders are male and female. I’ll agree with that much. BUT, there’s people who consider themselves “gender fluid” and people who consider themselves neither one or the other. I dunno, I guess it’s really just a matter of semantics, whether you wanna call “non-binary” people a “third gender” or just “none of the above.”

No. They are intellectually able to do what to do. However their fallen intent refuses to obey Law

I don’t know what in blue hell “fallen intent” even means, but no. Many autistic people (like me) actually are just fine with “obeying law”. We’re kinda awesome at it, really.

Donald Trump #conspiracy #crackpot #wingnut

I feel like I’ve said this a million times already, but damn, I do miss the days where even if I didn’t agree with everything the President of my country was doing, he had at least had SOME kinda class and decorum. Some Trump supporters seem to think that doesn’t matter, but it kinda does. The POTUS isn’t only the head of the government, he’s also the head of state.

ElDoorO #sexist

I don't treat them any different than I do friends that I pressure to drink.

Well, pressuring your friends to drink is kind of a shitty thing to do anyway.

We're both going to get plastered, I'll proposition her.

I see one problem with that…either you’re getting her more drunk than you’re getting, which sounds like you’re taking advantage of her (unless you both know that that’s what’s going on and consent to it), or you’re both “plastered” and you probably got a case of “whiskey dick” at that point. Hey, that happens, I’ve been there myself, LOL.

Grandparents Fight Back #transphobia

I said there were no surgeries in schools but that schools did use students’ trans names without parental permission and that there were lawsuits about that.

Everyone needs to keep this in mind. If your great-grandparents came in through Ellis Island, then you can leave through Ellis Island.

You can certainly leave the US, in multiple ways. If you gain citizenship in another country, you absolutely can decide you’re not gonna be a US citizen anymore. You probably gotta go through some paperwork, and jump through some hoops, but it’s possible. I think I could technically do that now, if I really wanted to. Since Canada recently changed their citizenship laws to make direct descendants of people born in Canada citizens, and my mom’s mom was born there. I’d basically just have to prove to Canada that my grandma was born there, and bingo, I’m a dual citizen.

BlazeTV Staff #fundie

Others argued that the magic in the series was purely fictional rather than real occult practice, that the series promoted moral values such as courage, loyalty, and self-sacrifice, and that it could be read with discernment or even used to illustrate Christian themes.

That’s actually a good point. Anyone who knows the first thing about CS Lewis would see that. When he wasn’t writing the “Narnia” books, he kept himself busy by being a “Christian apologist.” Hiis very good friend JRR Tolkien also was a devout Christian, and while the Lord of The Rings books aren’t as overtly Christian as Narnia was, he did consider them to reflect Christian values. One of my favorite series is the “DragonLance” books, by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. Hickman is a Mormon, and has said that his religious background influenced them greatly.

And…I just looked into that more, and damn, that’s 100 percent true, now that I think about it. There’s a big thing in the first book where Goldmoon finds the “platinum Disks Of Mishakal” which contain evidence of the “true gods” that people have left behind. Hmm…platinum disks…sounds a little bit like golden plates maybe? Conclusion: DragonLance is Mormon as fuck, lol.

Increasing Alpha brain wave production through electromagnetic elements

I’m pretty sure “electromagnetic elements”, if that actually is supposed to mean something that makes even a little bit of sense, would be iron and a few other metals. How those are supposed to “increase alpha brain wave production” is anyone’s guess. Arent we surrounded by iron and electromagnetism all the damn time already? I’m using WiFi right now, so I got EMF going on right there, for one thing.

Even if all of that is 100% accurate (which I doubt very much), I feel like I have more than enough valid reasons to detest Trump as I do.

Rhine101 #sexist

Here is what people call "rape culture". Telling a female to not wear a string bikini in the middle of a back alley at 3 AM after taking several drinks from guys she had never met before.

Yeah, a woman maybe shouldn’t be putting herself in that situation (especially not “taking several drinks from guys she had never bet before!”)…but if she does and then gets raped, it’s still rape, and she’s still the victim. Anyway, that sounds kinda like a made-up, far-fetched scenario to me. I don’t have the statistics on it at the moment, but I’ve definitely heard that most cases of sexual assault are committed by someone the victim already knew, whether it’s someone they knew for a long time, or someone they went on a date with.

Also, who said rape or sexual assault is only ever a “man on woman” thing?

CerysElenid #homophobia #dunning-kruger

Yeah, I hate how current year activist try to claim games like the original Dragon Age trilogy because of "queerness", when queerness is inherently political,

I’ve come to know by now that when people complain about something in a video game or whatever being “political”, what they’re really saying is effectively… “I don’t like it.” I think kinda the same way, really…like if there were a game that was centered on conservative political stances, I wouldn’t like it. Tho, I think just calling it “political” is wrong, it just has the politics you don’t like.

I started playing video games in the times of the Nintendo Entertainment System and such. There were really no explicitly queer characters, I guess. But also, at the time, the characters that were there weren’t said to be NOT? One of my favorite games of all time is “Mike Tyson’s Punchout”. We don’t know, “Little Mac” could have been gay, or bi, or whatever.

Rep. Bernie Moreno #fundie

Moreno is either uneducated or willfully ignorant, possibly a little bit of both. Muslims actually do consider Jesus a prophet, and I would suspect a lot of them would agree with the statement that “our rights come from God.” They’d probably say “Allah” and not “God” but that’s just two words for the same thing, really. ‘

This might sound stupid or a bit silly, but I think it’s like Christianity is a super-popular video game, and then Muslims were the people that made a big mod to it, that was popular too, but a lot of people that were fans of the original game don’t like it. But most people don’t realize, it’s still kinda the same game. And for that matter, Christianity itself is a “mod” of Judaism. Jesus and Mohammed are optional DLC packs, lol.

"No online gaming. No boy only s ocializing. Lots of nature and mi xed group social activities. No u nmonitored phones or tech. Lots of chores for no pay/reward. Put them in creative extracurriculars not just sports.

That’s kinda funny to me, because it actually sounds like not too different my own childhood, in some ways. I mean, I basically grew up in the 1980s, so there was no such thing as “online gaming.” And, yeah, the phone conversations were often monitored, because it was on a landline, when my parents were probably in the next room or something. I did have chores to do, but I at least got an allowance for doing them! ($5 a week at first, but hey, that was enough to buy a magazine, a pack of gum, a bottle of Coke, and have some change left over in the mid 80s, lol)

Marco Rubio #fundie

Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli:

As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Hmm, kinda seems all the more relevant today, with all the Republicans freaking about about “Musselmen” existing and running for office and such.

I do have to admit, the old term “Musselmen” kinda amuses me. Muscular Muslims who really like to eat mussels?

The ‘Take Charge’ types go far, it seems. And what about the actor John Wayne, and a certain US automotive legend with the surname Shelby?
The former’s original first name was Marion, the latter Carroll, OP.
What’s in a name indeed…?!

And of course there was Carroll O’Connor, most famous for playing Archie Bunker on the 70’s American TV show “All in The Family.” Archie was basically a conservative Republican racist, but as the show went on, he became more tolerant. I think if “All In the Family” was made today, Archie would be shown as becoming more accepting of LGBT people.

That price is actually kinda funny…cus I mentioned getting decent guitars for decent prices, then after I made my last comment, I saw that line again. My favorite guitar out of the 3 I own now, and really out of all the guitars I’ve ever had, is my lefty Brian May Special. Doing the conversion from the current “worldwide price” in GBP to US dollars comes out $993.74, lol.

What do you need to start rifing?

A guitar! Oh, no, wait, he said “rifing” not “riffing,” excuse me.

First, you need a frequency generator. Commonly used in many industries, you can buy a superb one for very little outlay indeed.

Well, there we go again. I said I have a guitar, I can generate frequencies (of sound) with that until the neighbors complain! Depending on what exactly you consider “superb” and “very little outlay” that could even be true. You can get a surprisingly decent guitar for not too much money these days if you know what you’re looking for.
