Post is in the correct sub and yet everyone in the comments is taking it entirely at face value. Are you all new, or are you just playing along?

I’m glad someone explained the reference before I got too many downvotes.

For me, sports is like religion. As in, if you take it seriously enough that you start bullying whole groups of people over it, you need to be put in time out.

If we could only train everyone to loudly hiss whenever they hear GDP or Tax Rate used as a metric to gauge a country’s value, a lot of people would be a lot better off.

Poor old Goebbels…

Most of what makes these “bad times”, involves the existence of massive dickheads like Laurence Fox, who think that strength is the same as bigotry.

LibreOffice is as good as Word. Which sadly means there are still no really good document editors out there.

I thought she was calling herself Robert Galbraith these days. Which is a man’s name.

I don’t know about online, but in my day to day life most people who talk shit about vegans are exactly the sort of people you’d imagine; edgelords who think masculinity is congruent with being a dick.

I’m not actually sure. I’ve always answered it at face value, but I’m not a native speaker. I’ve probably been committing a faux pas, like disagreeing with a British person when they say “lovely weather today”.

The Chinese for “how do you do” translates as “have you eaten yet?”

Bradford counts as its own race, regardless of skin pigmentation

not in a way that’s likely to result in significant harm

Yeah, I wish there was a word for scenarios that are technically racist, be we don’t want to devalue the word by invoking it for stuff that your privileged ass can easily live with. It’d make all the MAGA word game bullshit slightly harder for them to pull off.

I didn’t say she didn’t do anything bad, I said I don’t know what she did. Others have in the meantime filled you in, but you’re tripping over yourself trying to get indignant over the answers to a question that you yourself framed in a loaded fashion.

I don’t think your dismissive characterisation of my position is particularly accurate either, which suggests your original question may not have been entirely in good faith…

The Ranger’s not going to like this

I’ve never heard of a single instance of someone getting a ban for abusing Reddit Cares, which is particularly bad given how easy it is to report and prove.

I don’t know if she’s done anything per se, but the reason I find her obnoxious is that most of her cartoons are of the format seen here, i.e. a strip in which she has an argument with someone and wins. Often the argument will be a fairly unsophisticated easy target, but will check the performative boxes required to get those shares and upvotes.

Also - as seen again in this very strip - there’s often a persecution/victim complex subtext at play, that never fails to get all the parasocial white knights riled up (edit: and it still seems to work over here too depressingly)

If Kelly from The Onion ever got rebooted as a social media liberal, it’d probably look a lot like her.

You say that as though the US doesn’t exercise eminent domain frequently. It’s a non-starter of an argument.

His name is Yogi Bear, not Yogi the Bear

People moaning about tankie propaganda are missing the point that it’s not about how amazing China is, it’s about how American politicians are letting their people down.

The “because totalitarianism” argument is a non-starter - plenty of functioning democracies have built effective high speed rail. China is being given as an example because they’re a similar size while having much less money; it’s a counter to the “we’re too big” excuses usually made for why small European and SEA countries are also able to do it.
