  • Why is this stonetoss's art style

  • Rule

  • He can still divorce his wife though. You gotta unionize so you keep fucking him forever.

  • The problem here, linguistically, is that any phrase which means this will take on the meaning of falsehood automatically, over time. It's the same way that any respectable word that means "has a disability" eventually comes to be an insult and then a slur.

    If you want to say something like that, the word "putative" is still pretty unfettered by negative connotations, but only because few people use it. If it were in common use, it would follow the same path as "so-called". A more reliable approach in the long-term is to say what you mean using more words instead of fewer:

    She could trust him more than any of her friends; although she wasn't sure those people were really her friends, it remained to be seen.

    It's actually the length and awkwardness of the sentence structure that makes it resistant to misinterpretation.

  • The boss doesn't need to get the message. How it works isn't complicated and I don't believe that anyone just can't understand it. That's not the issue and never has been.

    They just hate trans people.

  • If you know you're in the wrong, delete the comment, or at least strikethrough everything you have changed your mind about.

    The people who downvoted you have already moved on, they don't need or care about an apology and won't see it.

  • There are lots of reasons to tell a story non-linearly. Plenty of cinematic sins to lay at George Lucas' feet, but this isn't one of them.

  • That's allowed, but you better prove it

  • score 10 or sacrifice child is actually just a MtG card, how did that get in there

  • I believe the point was "I am specifically asking for an iphone cable so you know that I have an iphone and not an inferior android", which is not actually a flex because nobody thinks iphone users are cool except iphone users.

  • This comment fits the spirit of the question better than anything else in here, I will say that.

  • 34% of Americans responded "grind my body into the ground, capitalism daddy"

  • (I'm going to set aside the fact that your Very Serious reply to my joke post is off-tone, and actually give you a serious answer.)

    If you sent hundreds of posters to a school, you would find some school administrators who were only too happy to have the opportunity to plaster the word "God" on every school wall because they're warped. I acknowledge that's a thing, let's move past it.

    Most school administrators either a) hate this shit, or b) don't really give a fuck. If you pulled this prank on one of those schools which--and I really want to stress this--are not on board with the stupid law in the vast majority of cases, you are actually handing them a chance to pull a glorious act of malicious compliance. If I were one of them, I would comply with the letter of the law and wallpaper every wall in the school with these things. Give the kids and the parents a chance to see them, and complain. Who are they complaining to? Not you, your hands are tied, you're just complying with the law. You will explain this very patiently to every single one of them complaining about a school where every surface says "In God we Trust". You're on their side, but the school board and your legislators need to hear about this, because hey, we're on the same team.

    You can even go with them, and testify that your staff had to spend hours putting them up, taking time away from school activities. What are you supposed to do? This hurts the children.

    School administrators don't make the laws, but they can act in a way that brings the issue to the forefront of everyone's mind. School administrators can give the parents a good reason to take the fight to someone who can actually do something about it.

    That might not work, in the end. Texas is run by lunatics, after all. But a huge pile of posters might just be the reason you sleep at night knowing you did what you could.

  • Apart from this, what if you just donated several hundred posters at once? They all have to be displayed?

  • You looked at that screenshot and said, "Ah yes, here's someone speaking sense" ?

  • Ugh I keep getting memory bounds errors, time to fire up the dodecahedron
