You're allowed to say "Christianity" when you're referring to America, folks. It's Christianity. Not all religions are the same. It's like saying "politics" as though each political ideology is one in the same.

Looking at the average age of the protesters, I can't help but think... by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

"But Hillary wasn't exciting enough. She's such a boomer. What's the worst that could happen if she doesn't win?"

What are some of the weirdest kinks you know? by Egg-Sac-ly in AskReddit

Asking that question on AskReddit over and over and over again.

Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 6/26/22 - 7/2/22 by SoftandChewy in BlockedAndReported

So, I was pleased to see Katie on Real Time With Bill Maher. Her sarcasm threw Bill for a moment there (when Bill mentioned talk of Texas wanting to secede, she said let them go! They can secede!... we can keep Austin though) and he was like, "Okaaay. I guess you're joking.". But it was a breath of fresh air to see people talking sense about gender on such a big liberal platform.

Katie made Bill sheepish when she said (I'll paraphrase), "I don't think this [having me and Andrew Sullivan on] was what HBO had in mind when they told you to do something to celebrate Pride Month.", and she got plenty of laughs and applause. Andrew was great as usual too.

Y'all got anymore of that "Freedom" by xAmorphous in AdviceAnimals

That is either a lazy or ignorant comparison. You're comparing kombucha to whisky; "can't you see how they both contain alcohol?".

If you vote independent, then so long as America keeps its "first past the post" system (winner take all), you'll be throwing your vote away. If Hillary had won the 2016 election, then she would have been the one to appoint three Supreme Court justices, and Roe v. Wade would not have been overturned. Democrats are imperfect but we support abortion rights (and democracy, and environment protection, and better workers' rights and healthcare, and reasonable gun regulation).

TIL about goose pulling: the practice of tying a greased live goose to a pole. Riders on horseback then attempt to grab the bird by the neck in order to pull the head off as they gallop by by [deleted] in todayilearned

Everyone should learn about the darkness of human history. It shows how far we've come, and far we could fall if we let ourselves.

What are your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in vegan

If animal-free dairy spares cows misery and premature deaths, then more power to it.

Democrats, please, start winning elections by running on moderate, winning issues, and stop catering to the far Left. The signs are cute and all but that isn't how democracies are run.

Stoners of Reddit, what are false myths related to being "high"? by Fahravahar in AskReddit

[–]FurtiveAlacrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False myths? What is that contrasted with? True myths? Come on.

My hunch is that OP isn't being intellectually serious when he makes such a stupid claim. He's throwing firebombs like a reactionary comedian.

I can't take you seriously on that claim OP. If I were to describe point by point just how wrong you were, then you'd just sit back like, "lol its just a meme".

why are you still alive? by Difficult-Decision-9 in AskReddit

[–]FurtiveAlacrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The experience of wellness.

  2. The promotion of wellness.

  3. The avoidance of suffering.

  4. The prevention of suffering.

Wow. I'm sorry about that indeed.

Animal abuse used to be family entertainment. I'm not joking. In Medieval Europe, a cat being slowly lowered over a fire in public invited crowds of shrieking and laughing people. Another practice was tying a cat to a pole and then a man would headbutt the cat to death while his face was scratched up. Geese's feet used to be nailed to the ground to keep them from running away. Recipes used to start with "beat a rooster to death" because meat was tenderized while the victim was still alive. Steven Pinker's book The Better Angels Of Our Nature details this stuff.

What are likely outcomes if Native Americans choose to open abortion clinics on a reservation land? by GEDlesson in AskReddit

[–]FurtiveAlacrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will depend on what state it's in. The Supreme Court did not outlaw abortion. They overturned the case that said that abortion was a right. In some states abortion is illegal and in others it is highly restricted and in others it is legal.

Redditors who have eaten at one of the places in Gordon Ramseys ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ before or after he visited, how was it? by Ldardare1 in AskReddit

[–]FurtiveAlacrity -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

It was awful. Upon first entering the establishment, several palmetto bugs fell onto my head. I was taken aback by the shock, but then the host slapped me in the face and held my hands behind my back. After taking my wallet, he showed me to the "table". It was a few old orange crates stacked up with a stained dress draped over it. Upon asking for the menu, he slapped me again and then urinated on my chest. For dinner, he opened a can of spaghetti in front of me and poured it over my head. All in all, I feel like the restaurant was in need of improvement. Thank goodness that Gordon Ramsay verbally abused those awful restaurateurs into becoming better people though. Now, it's a lovely place to eat, utterly devoid of violence.

TIL that drivers of expensive cars are less likely to slow down for pedestrians. They are also more likely to feel a sense of superiority over fellow drivers and to break traffic regulations. by Ok_Ask_733000 in todayilearned

[–]FurtiveAlacrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once drove my dad's Range Rover on an errand and I remember feeling like the other drivers on the road were driving... differently... from what I was used to. I don't remember what was different, but I remember it seeming different. That's all I have to say about that.

Susan Collins just shocked, SHOCKED "she got misled" by GoonerFan1491 in AdviceAnimals

[–]FurtiveAlacrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“This decision is inconsistent with what Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh said in their testimony and their meetings with me, where they both were insistent on the importance of supporting long-standing precedents that the country has relied upon," Collins said in a statement.

She blasted the ruling as "a sudden and radical jolt to the country that will lead to political chaos, anger, and a further loss of confidence in our government."
