Meanwhile, some minor dog bite caused my news feed to come up with a headline about how that "proves" so-called "pit bulls" are beyond redemption and ought to be made extinct ... Stuff like this? Oh, just ignore it, because human. Because human of a certain race or ethnicity, shhh.
Oh, there was also that retard that threw the 10 year old off a balcony because he wanted to "be on television". Not the first case of this I've heard of - or been witness to. When retards hurt and kill, those stories get buried really fast, too.
Thing with dog breeds is this - the Alsatian and the Doberman Pinscher also had the exact same reputation the APBT and related breeds do today, at one time, but you don't hear about those much any more. Why? THEY WERE FIXED THROUGH BETTER BREEDING ...
Oh, and bears. Always treated as if they're in the wrong. Don't want to run afoul of bears? Stay out of their homes, you don't like them in cities, fuck off out of the forests, then. At least people who like bears aren't forcing you to associate with the fuckers as neighbours, customers, landlords, bosses ...
Frankly, that's what I think they're daring everyone to do, so they CAN yell "nazi". Even while they "cancel" (censor) everything else.
As an aside, I wonder how many who condemn Song of the South for being "racist" ever actually got to see that movie for themselves. There's no slaves. But there IS a Magic Negro. Hollywood never had a problem with those. Huh, maybe Morgan Freeman should be deepfaked into Uncle Remus, maybe they'd like him better.
"Racism", in a cartoon that features characters of various SPECIES. And isn't Arthur supposed to be a fucking aardvark or anteater or something? Why does he look like a bear instead? Why don't they address THAT? Maybe get Aardvark (from Ant and the Aardvark) to give him a motivational speech about being proud about the way you were born and not trying to be something you're not, like they used to teach us in cartoons. Oh, wait ...
Same sex marriage? Can't tell if they're the same species or not ...
RACE AND SPECIES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE TERMS. AND HUMANS ARE EXTREMELY SPECIESIST AND SEE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. (And yes, speciesism is natural. So is racism for the exact same fucking evolutionary reasons.)
(And the first thing I think of when I see that name is the Dudley Moore character, still.)
ANY rational rights advocate - for humans or other creatures - can see the fucking difference between shooting pixels in a fantasy game, and actually going around blowing living things away for shits and giggles and the good of the species or whatever the fuck.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting back to my Rimworld game where my Raccoon Men are harvesting organs from and doing genetic experiments on the random humans that wander into their clutches.
I took the privating as a hint and just came over here.
Yeah, that's him! Though ours had more of a blue colour scheme going on, iirc.
I wonder if crap like this wasn't the real reason Caligula appointed a horse to his senate.
Threats like that deserve to have Biden choose a Mule for his running mate.
When I was in cadets, we used these wooden targets with WW2-era German soldiers painted on them to look like they were charging at you; they were for speed training, as someone would hold it up for only three seconds while you tried to shoot it (been on both sides of that.)
We called these "Jumping Jerries".
... huh, not one photograph of this thing out there on the web. Must have stopped using them years ago, I guess.
I don't know, why is -philia used where -sexual or -mania would be more appropriate/accurate? What is the suffix for "friend of"?
If it were pronounced the way Greeks do, it wouldn't be a problem. oor-AHN-os. But the so-called scholars who transliterated Greek for us were horrible at it, and had no real ability to actually read Greek.
And I got called names for saying that AIDS assholes should have been begun to be shipped to an isolation island the second the disease was identified. And THAT is a behavioural disease that should be extinct by now simply through humans being as well-behaved as they like to think they are.
Yes, but any group that is formed to fight back against SJW shit taking over everything, is going to be viewed and treated like Tipper Gore and the Moral Majority and the other old-school censors (even though SJWs are really the ones into outright censorship now ...) .. just saying to be prepared for that, especially if you were or would have been on the opposite side of that fence back in the day.
It ... has .... "disco" .. in it.
Hard pass right there. Lived through the disco era. Would not recommend.
Though I will admit, it's better than this modern jungledrums shit they have now.
The art style gives me vibes of "East Indian/SE Asian Temple Sculpture". I think it's the eyes. Except the subjects of those sculptures are usually pretty thin.
Shit, I found myself enjoying "Ma and Pa Kettle At Home" a lot more than I thought I would.
Been running through Babylon 5 and X-Files lately, as I didn't get to watch 'em much back in the day, and definitely not in order (basically, only a scattered episode here and there.)
I can only imagine the clucking and tutting ... but then, there was probably the same amount of clucking and tutting when PET said "Just Watch Me". And martial law took care of the FLQ, with the approval of the majority of Canadians. And PET was a fucking commie/french supremacist himself (but he was a federalist above all and knew Quebec would be fucked without the English Canada he hated so much.)
I'm sorry, but if there's any chance I'm going to get My Cousin Vinnie defending me, I might as well defend my own sorry ass.
Not everyone has a car. And when you save 100% on overpriced mandatory insurance, you can afford to have people bring shit to you.
Good. Immigrants in Canada get all kinds of free money to open up businesses while Canadians swing in the wind. This'll help me know which restaurants are owned by actual Canadians, and not foreigner upstarts benefiting from taxpayer money that should be going to actual Canadians to start businesses. Fuck me, it was one thing when Greeks and Italians owned all the shops (at least they weren't sexist, and made sure their kids assimilated) but that started changing for the worse in the 1990s, and screw it all now. If you came from pakiland, china, or most of afreaka, I don't want your shit, basically, because I'm sick of your face.
Want to advertise something I want to see? Then tag businesses with "dog-friendly" or not.
Ontario high schools used to have what was called "streaming". Not in the modern sense, as this was abolished by about 1988 or so, but in the sense that a kid going into grade 9 (my school system didn't have "junior high", you went K-8 and then 9-13 at the time) could choose the difficulty level of most courses - basic, "normal" (it was called something else, but the name escapes me at the moment) and advanced. Grade 13 was optional, mostly for kids going on to university, and is now called "OAC"; I think the difference is just in that now you have to pay for your books instead of renting them. I was done with high school a year or two before they changed things (for the worse, if you ask me. Especially when they made phys ed mandatory, glad I dodged that fucking bullet. The female gym teacher was a bull dyke.)
Anyway, it was up to you what level of course you took, but if you were struggling, or seemed to be cruising through too easily, yeah, they could pull you aside and suggest you take a different difficulty (with no penalty), but they couldn't make you.
This was abolished because the dumbasses thought it was "stigmatizing" the Basic level kids. But I did see an article come and go that suggested they may be thinking of bringing this idea back, for the very reasons advocates didn't want to get rid of it - it just kills the interest of the quicker kids to be bogged down by the slower ones, and the slower ones get frustrated with the higher-level info the quicker kids want to know. Plus the fact that the kids who are going to trades college, or who are just going to drop out in grade 10, probably don't care about the higher details of geography and history and will never use it ...
Would I what? Hope that it just wants to trade? Yes.
85 lb middle aged woman = male Tauren hunter. Because it's fun to be a big guy with a big gun. I also had an alt who was a wispy female Blood Elf warrior with a big axe, who had red hair, because I thought it would be amusing.
Fantasy games are for playing out fantasies .. right? Who wants to be "themselves" in a fantasy game?
Cripes, dude, the vision of Donahue in an ugly long "pentacostal" skirt still burns my mind's eye.
What gets me is that someone plays the opposite sex in a game and automagically thinks they're trans ... such brainwashing.
It's very, VERY rushed, on a time scale like you'd see in fucking movies. Yeah, I'll wait and see how the human guinea pigs in the turdwhirled countries do, first. Because, hey, we've had Thalidomide, and promises of an AIDS vaccine for 40 years.
Praise be to something nebulous, non-concrete, like "the party" or some god, can be seen through more easily.
This is turning into outright human worship.
