  • Each more pathetic than the last, it's always a hallmark of an infantile mind not worth engaging with, in my experience.

    Mature adults can talk about people they don't like without this stupid playground nonsense.

  • Asinine 'doodyhead'-tier 'nicknames' for people you don't like are never appropriate, once you've reached a double-digit age. Grow up.

  • More or less the same way fried chicken 'became the hallmark of cuisine' for black Americans: it's a stereotype, simple as that.

  • It's not "sensitivity", it's simply pattern recognition. In the US, unseasoned/bland food has been a crack made at the expense of 'white people' specifically, for a very long time on the Internet.

  • Yeah, I was reading this OP, wondering if the poster thought that the end result of successful unionization would be one worker getting a $1 raise, lol.

  • Average American has just $955 saved for retirement, study finds

    Jump

  • That's a straw man, so I'm not going to bother responding beyond pointing out the fallacy. Consider engaging with what I actually said.

  • No. Also I specifically used the '90% of their income' figure and not the 95% one shortly mentioned thereafter, because I think it's fair that even those who are struggling the most ought to be able to have some 'fun' with their money.

    But most people do earn enough to pay for their necessities, have fun, and save. And many people don't save for later, even though they easily can, in the name of putting more on the 'fun' pile.

  • It's relevant context to know that while about 67% of people self-report that they are living "paycheck to paycheck" (meaning they are not actively saving any money), only 30% self-report that they are actually spending more than 90% of their income on necessities.

    Point being that the majority of people who aren't actively saving, are choosing not to, spending all of their extra income instead of saving at least some of it.

    As bad as conditions are overall, a significant chunk of people are making it needlessly worse for themselves, and things are not quite as dire as they're made to seem by sensationalist media that's quick to report that 67% figure, but never focuses on the 30% one that's a much better indicator of the percentage of people who are actually having trouble making ends meet.

  • The news is sugarcoating how revolting the Epstein files are

    Jump

  • But they didn’t exactly elaborate on what they meant by saying that sex doesn’t implcitly mean consent.

    I was pretty straightforward about it, I think. Rape is a 'subcategory' of sex.

    There's a difference between the disingenuous act of describing a nonconsensual sex act while deliberately not mentioning the 'nonconsent', and claiming that the word "sex" itself carries with it the 'trait' of consent.

    If consent was part of the definition of sex, then when two people get blackout drunk (which legally makes them both unable to render informed consent) and fuck each other at a party or something, we'd consider no sex to have happened, which would be an obviously ridiculous conclusion that no one reaches. It's obvious consent is not an intrinsic attribute of "sex".

  • ok what do I look like a dictionary

    When you write "[word], by definition, is [definition]"?

    Yes, you do, lol.

  • Trump Wrecked In Devastating Poll As Most Americans Say He’s ‘Worse Than Biden’ — With Whopping 18 Point Swing

    Jump

  • 18 point swing sounds great, but the 'post-swing' percentage is 51% thinking he's doing a worse job than Biden, which isn't actually all that encouraging, imo.

    Also, apparently the prior poll that's the other side of the 'swing' is one that was taken just after he was inaugurated...isn't that kind of a stupid time for a poll asking 'do you think the President is doing a better or worse job than the last President', just as he begins his term?
