The fiddle itself is a handicap too, gold is an awful material for an instrument.

Dude Socrates was convinced that reading and writing would ruin everyone’s memory who grew up with it. Whining about <innovation> somehow handicapping the next generation by making them “too dependent on technology” or whatever and couching it in reasonable-sounding terms is as old as language, and time always makes fools of those who indulge in that sort of masturbatory delusion. You’re just jealous we had cooler toys, own it.

who the hell calls rugby “rugger”? that’s even worse than “soccer”.

1. This is foosball.

2. The sport with the egg is “gridiron football”, we call it “football” for short for the same reason other countries call association football “football” for short, it’s the most popular variant here.

3. We don’t call it “American football” because that’s not what it’s called, you lot say that because of point 2. Nobody is going to say “European football” because that’s not what it’s called either.

4. The word “soccer” was imported from the UK (seriously that word is british as hell, you really think we came up with that shit?), and we use it for reasons outlined in points 2 and 3, and also because “european football” is inaccurate, tiresome, and stupid sounding.

5. This is the first and only time I’ve ever heard of rugby union football being referred to as “ruggers”, I never thought I’d read a dumber-sounding word than soccer but you’re just full of surprises today. For some reason i was imagining one of the replies was the same person, this was in error.

hint for the identity police: it has to do with generations of historical discrimination and otherness. sorry our culture isn’t yours.

i find that people who cry about this-or-that is destroying humor or whatever, are pretty much universally bad at being funny. maybe up your game and stop blaming punctuation.

the funniest thing to me is that “the red pill” is supposed to represent estrogen

right? my first thought was pro-palestine, then i remembered my local closet trumper is obsessed with Star Wars and views himself as part of the Rebellion/Resistance and the other interpretation became clear. did we learn nothing from the obama-era liberal harry potter fetish?

also lol imagine believing in IQ. dumbass.

i thought i was a natural “night owl” because of comments like yours… until i didn’t have electricity. suddenly im up and down with the sun and feeling rested and stable instead of sleeping 4am to noon and feeling shitty and depressed. i won’t argue that natural cycles vary by individual, but how many people are fucking themselves up like that assuming it’s just natural for them, like i was? you went straight to feeling attacked and lashing out, maybe log off instead of arbitrarily deciding you know what’s in your DNA and jumping up people’s asses about it when they describe how it works for most people despite what they prefer to tell themselves. try logging off and sleeping when humans evolved to sleep, it might help with that extreme sensitivity.

ITT people find reasons it’s not their fault they don’t sleep at night when statistically speaking most of them actually just need to find the self control to turn off the fucking screens at night and let your body find its natural rhythm.

only white men can read an anecdote about a woman being tired of having her own field mansplained to her, and turn it into “…and that’s why this is bigoted against me, actually”. Holy fucking shit dude.

ITT people baww at the mere mention of race and gender, and proceed to behave as if the problem is other people being too sensitive about race and gender.

Why is ‘race’ relevant here?

Because it’s extremely relevant in American culture. Every culture really, we’re just somewhat ahead on not lying to ourselves about it.

What the fuck is wrong with Americans and how did they become so astonishingly self flagellating.

Nothing and we’re not, you’re an irate ignoramus with a chip on your shoulder having an imaginary dick measuring contest because you’re super duper sensitive about race.

Just on the insecure posture of this tweet, I’m prepared to bet cold hard cash that he asked her for clarity or something with a informational challenge “but does x not come from y?” Or whatever and she manufactured his reasoning and the rest to feel good. She doesn’t seem to know what et al means either.

He was literally telling her to go read her own work. The “et al” part is very fucking clearly taking the piss, do they not have humor over there in Stuckupistan? Or are your panties always in too much of a twist about basic ass descriptors to have any kind of humor about literally anything?

E: guy’s post history is chock full of dogshit-tier takes with a thin veneer of leftism and a big heap of good ol’ fashioned xenophobia.

i think SHS just straight up looks like a bridge troll in drag
