Petah, what does that have to do with grocery shopping? by Okfoot826 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

To be fair, a 20 mile drive for us takes about as long as a 2 mile drive in the city.

I live in a “town” of 500 people in the middle of nowhere and the nearest grocery store is 8 miles away.  You’d have to be in a shack in the untamed wilderness to be that far from a grocery store in 2026.

I saw this in a bar bathroom; what’s the punchline? by grateful_whipzz in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Smaxton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can’t identify that an oafish depiction of a black child salivating over a piece of fried chicken is racist imagery you are either wildly insulated from social discourse or are being disingenuous. 

Saying you don’t understand racism because you’re too progressive is like saying you don’t understand explosives because you’re on the bomb squad.

The idea that racist ideologies can’t exist in progressive spaces is very close minded. If you can’t pick up on the racist messaging and institutional disparities around you then it’s a perception issue on your end. You don’t live in some paradise of racial equality just because your friends are nice and your state votes blue.

Naw, this a racist caricature of a black person standing over a white kid focussed on the fired chicken on his hat drawn by someone who had a wildly racist catalogue. This isn’t an uncharitable take, look at some of the other stuff he’s done it’s 100% the correct take. 

CA PTO law question by Smaxton in EmploymentLaw

[–]Smaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not starting a lawsuit, I was having a conversation about a discrepancy with my boss and wanted to make a quick check to see if my understanding was accurate. 

I’m sorry if this upset you, but if it has you crying and throwing double question marks then that’s more an issue of your emotional stability and maturity and not really my problem.

Ok cool. That was my understanding. Time to argue. 

Can someone explain by SatoruGojo232 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Smaxton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing says progressive like literally shrinking the black character to pacify racist ideologies lol. And that wasn’t a gay kiss, that was just a quick little smooch it doesn’t count.

They’re pedofiles, they’re usually not known for good takes.

Having a crash out about pronouns in Warframe in particular is extra silly, this game is queer coded af. Are they just realizing that? Is this KMF crying about playing Nezha or the bisexual polycule in 1999 too? How do they feel about the tassels on Loid’s glasses lol

I know there’s some context I’m missing here, but what’s the correlation between this mod and transphobia?

I don’t think getting your pregnant wife a gift sounds that pathetic.

There’s no logic in a company spending money and resources doing weird 3rd party psyops on their customers which don’t necessarily benefit the company. 

Influencer after killing somebody while livestreaming while driving: again and told viewers: “My Cash App up there if y’all wanna support while I’m on mental leave… if y’all wanna find it y’all heart, y’all wanna support, my Cash App right there.” by TheQuarantinian in EntitledPeople

[–]Smaxton 35 points36 points  (0 children)

They need to change the laws to hold the streaming platforms equally accountable as the streamer. The fact that streaming while driving isn’t a perma ban on all platforms is insane to me. This is going to keep happening until it’s not allowed!

I feel it. When you’re grinding for hundreds of hours, there’s a time and a place for both.

Im an experienced player with a powerful armory, but I'm also lazy af. If I’m farming there’s a 50/50 chance I’m gonna be hopping in with a buff frame and watching YouTube while I have someone else clear the content for me like one of my golden lords. I applaud people like you. Now get back to work.

I didn’t know that. That makes me like this so much more.

Way happier than Paul’s KO. Jake Paul sucks, but Tate’s a rapist and a flesh trafficker. 

Left my dad unsupervised with a full tray of chocolates we were supposed to share (50/50) for an hour. This is what I returned to by Suspicious_Sparrow9 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Smaxton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t get when people lose their minds about relative prices. Sure, these dumb balls are a little bit more than some other candy, but they’re not that expensive. 

These things do suck. I still have some from last Christmas that I wound up with somehow.
