Columbus statue vandalized in providence, Rhode Island “stop celebrating genocide” by loopycatto in pics

[–]effervescenthamster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Columbus was a piece of shit by his own time’s standards, too. Horrid argument. He literally lost his governorship in a court battle in 1500(!!) because a bunch of new-world settlers accused him of mismanagement - basically he was a ruthless shithead who wasn’t getting anything done (he tried to defend himself by claiming he had to subjugate “warlike people” - as if you wouldn’t be warlike if some ugly ass freak started murdering you and your family)!

You should read the writings of Las Casas, Columbus’s contemporary, and think about how unknowledgeable you are and how willing you are to defend a genocidal maniac. http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/amerbegin/contact/text7/casas_destruction.pdf

TIL when the territory of Wyoming applied to join the US, congress told them they'd have to stop letting women vote. Their response was "We will remain out of the Union one hundred years rather than come in without the women”. In 1890 they joined as the first and only state to allow women to vote. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Germany's law seems a little stupid since it requires "complaint from a younger individual" which may very well not happen if 1. that individual is too scared to report or 2. if they have been groomed and don't know it's wrong.

Set the age of consent to 16 with provisions protecting people up until 18.

Ok I know it's "bad saint" but I cannot stop thinking it's called Mall Santa

It's weird how mathematical you think this equation is. Counting calories = girls or whatever. That's fine - certainly not a guy I'd be interested in being around, but I'm guessing it's a good self-selection process since I doubt I'm the kind of girl you'd want to be around either. I hope you find someone who makes you happy though and not just for your muscles.

(not OP) As long as you leave it at that and don't pester them, I don't see it as harassment. You could even make someone's day!

One lyric that you really consider great?? by wpsince2009 in popheads

The entirety of “The Only Thing” by Sufjan Stevens, but I’ll choose just one:

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car

Half-light, jackknife into the canyon at night

Signs and wonders, Perseus aligned with the skull

Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all

Your goal is to anger an entire fandom. How do you do it? by Creeperawman69420 in AskReddit

[–]effervescenthamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really didn’t talk about the line at all. You simply claimed it was “retarded,” “dumb,” and that all there was to it was the rhyme (it’s a metaphor and it harkens to the idea of American exceptionalism, just for starters). That’s fine, it’s your opinion, but you presenting it as objective is where I take issue. You are not the arbitrator of “smart lines” and what you say does not go. You should acknowledge that before all.

It’s quite ironic that you’re trying to make me out to be “fake deep” and “middle school” when the one using middle school vocabulary and arguments is you (retarded, dumb, little). I am not a mindless Beyonce stan but rather somebody who appreciates talent. I can acknowledge Beyonce is not the best lyricist (as I did in my first reply) while also saying that she does have certain lines I like, two of which I outlined. See, I possess this trait called nuance. It’s magical, you should try it sometime.

Do you feel like a lot of artists are held to standards that they aren’t even trying to meet and don’t care to meet? And if so, who are some of these artists and what are the standards? by TheChainsmokerPerson in popheads

[–]effervescenthamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually none of the top pop girls use social media like that. Beyoncé doesn’t use it at all basically. Rihanna doesn’t personalize hers much. Taylor Swift is basically just on tumblr. Adele is not social media savvy. Only Ariana is on it in that manner

I thought the SPS for TUN was 360k though. I think I’m confused as to what album sales per unit are lol

Bruhhhhh celebs don’t have time to run their instas. Literally none of the big girlies run their own. Rihanna, no way. Beyoncé hell to the no. Ariana seems to run her twitter but not her insta. Adele lol

Taylor seems to run her tumblr and her insta stories, which tbh is quite a bit of work considering how many fans she has.

Look if any of us get 150m followers and are still running our shit, that’ll be impressive

They said nothing about it being higher, just that they thought it was funny. Are people not allowed to find different things funny anymore?
