The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

The only Russian thing Snowstalker has read is Pussy Riot's liner notes.

The members of Pussy Riot have actually referenced Berdayev and Dosteyevski, so I wonder what their liner notes would look like.

Yep.  Most musicians outside of country tend to be very liberal, so I don't see why very many people who aren't liberals would listen to their music.

Oh my god. It keeps getting worse.

I may also take a little nap in a bit.  I've got nothing else to do today, so I can pretty much just relax.

I found his counter-response even funnier:

However, I have my computer in front of me and www.careerbuilder.com on another open tab.  I'm not just sitting here doing nothing. 

The best part is that Career Builder is what stuck him with that original scam to cause him to quit Oklahoma Natural Gas.

Haha no, it's funny. Then again, my 12-year-old sense of humor makes me think any and all uses of the C-bomb are gold. Calling a little girl one makes it all the more funny for the juxtaposition as well as her obviously not being one. It is satire, after all...

Explain?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Thinking that 'any and all uses of the C-bomb are gold' is (in my opinion) bad, and thinking that the definition of 'satire' can be stretched to encompass and justify anything that causes offense and is supposed to be funny is (as I understand that term) ignorant. 'All the more funny for the juxtaposition' is absurd in that I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean.

[fezzyfestoon]

Where is there an indication that I think anything that offends people is funny? I think it's idiotic and ignorant to be offended by words, specifically the words of a satirical publication. No one stops to think about whether they're making a point with the JOKE, they just see a certain word and freak out based on shallow instinct. That's ignorance. In my eyes it was an indictment of the social media culture where the public, and particularly media outlets like E!, act as though they're on a personal basis with public figures to the point where they can state something as offensive and personally incriminating as that. The juxtaposition of the word c**nt and a little girl sharply highlights the absurdity of the closely personal stories perpetuated by our ravenous and indiscriminate media. If it makes me ignorant to be intellectually capable enough to reach that conclusion while also admitting that I know I'm immature enough to enjoy any use of that word makes me ignorant, absurd, or a bad poster then so be it.

Watching would be a half + 7 violation, so I won't do it.

hahaha

That depends if the relationship was a half + 7 violation or not. Obviously if he was like 40 and she was just some college student it's very creepy and disgusting, but if they were close in age and it was entirely consensual what's the big deal?

I've met Americans who are unclear on who Taylor Swift is. Granted, most of them were olds.

I have no idea who that is.

Yeah but you're in a place mostly insulated and protected from the pop culture of The Bad Place.

... are you kidding me? Have you not heard of the Carter Center and its election monitoring programs?

I've heard of the Jimmy Carter who constantly coddles up to terrorists.

[Lief 🗽]

Beat me to it. Good lord.

Yeah, that wasn't my best response.  In fact, it was arguably my worst.

[Obamanation]

Love the people in this thread who don't seem to understand the threat of US military intervention has tempered genocide and dictatorship around the world.

Yeah I too came here to post that.

An Empire is a country which has an Emperor. Ergo, the only country which can make a halfway reasonable claim today to being an empire is Japan.

You're obviously the expert on Japanese culture here, not me...can you explain why that is absurd and ignorant? I'm not calling you out; this is a topic you know far more about than I do and I'm legitimately curious.

Option 1.  $2.13 doesn't sound like much of a minimum wage, but let's bring it down for other workers to the same level as tipped employees.
