Happi Valintynes Dae!
  • You were talking about? Where? When? Your points have been so untethered from any context that it’s all nonsense. You’ve been bringing up “racism against whites” which is severely tone deaf. If you’re bringing it up at all in this day and age, you’re probably a closeted racist because it’s a nonissue that undercuts, and distracts from the real problems.

  • The fact that you’re bringing it up at all indicates that you haven’t been paying enough attention to the problems and conversations about racism.

    Even your language “not the biggest problem” does not mean “not a problem” it literally means second place or lower. Which is a lot of wiggle room for validating white rights ideologues.

  • “-ification” is a suffix about transformation and becoming so the word works fine. Your argument it is just anti-intellectualist opinion. So who cares?

    I wouldn’t say I’m an intellectualist, but I am an anti-anti-intellectualist. Doesn’t it makes me sound so smart? Your analogy isn’t one and your points make no sense. You’re shoe horning a white plight angle into this convo for no reason. You’re downvoting me for challenging you to better represent your point of view.

    So, good faith’s dried up, get bent asshole.

  • I don’t really understand your point. Portmanteaus and coining new words are useful in conveying complex concepts, though. If you wanted to have a conversation about parentification would you rather have one word to encompass that or have to say “the effect of having to be a care giver to your caregivers during your formative years” every time you need to reference that concept in the discussion.

    What makes that a mutilation instead of more efficient?

    The racism thing is confusing because racism encompasses both forms but there are specific descriptors for unique expressions of the same thing. Just like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t necessarily a square. That’s not really redefining, systemic racism has been racism the whole time, too. We’re just aware enough to have discussions about the specific ways it effects society today.

    Edit: redefining “literally” to accommodate people using incorrectly on the other hand was a misstep for the English language, though. So I don’t necessarily disagree, I just think you picked bad examples.

  • Check out *this* guy
  • Someone cut me off going through an intersection at the bottom of a steep hill and just stopped with his blinker on. So politely, I flashed my brights a couple of times, a bunch of traffic is piling up behind me and cars were swerving and slamming on their brakes to avoid an accident. Tons of honking from everybody who’s pissed at this guy. So, he decides to get out of his car and shout at me about it. “My hazards are on what’s honking gonna accomplish?!” Me: “That’s your turn signal.” Him: “Damn I guess my lights are broken, too. Well you shouldn’t be honking so much!” Me: “I flashed my brights, everybody else you made swerve off the road was honking at you.” Him: “Well your car’s dirty.” Steps away back to his road hazard.

    I still regret not laying down on the horn after that insult to my whip’s honor.

  • One exception, the argument is about spelling or grammar then it’s kinda invited mockery. Aside from that you’re just dealing with an ableist, dyslexia is the most common learning disability

  • Super Bowl Jesus Ad funded by groups fostering "hateful Christian Nationalism"
  • Their art is so bad. If they don’t make Jesus look 60, then he just looks indiscernible. The lighting is all over the place, the stripes on the flag are so narrow there’d have to be thirty original colonies, and Jesus looks like he has double decker mouths with the OCD that makes you pluck your eyebrows bald.

    jetson’s car whistling

    Step one: Practice whistling until you can with only your teeth and tongue, you should be able to smile widely and sustain a whistle. Step two: whistle and blow raspberries at the same time. Step three: imitate cellphone noises, embarrass a bad joke with cricket chirps, try to use your new useless powers for good.
