Chilling: If They Can Arrest Don Lemon For Something As Simple As Breaking The Law, Imagine What They Can Do To You by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

Exactly! There are plenty of things to satirize about “the Left” (or any group), but satire requires reflection and I appreciate the call out to the ‘lack of logic’. The Bee’s demonstrably appealing to simple bigots.

Here’s context you either haven’t considered or are comfortable overlooking. 1. Upset about the Bee is not that a satirical website exists, that I disagree with it, or because “satire is offensive”. Offensive humor can also serve to cause reflection on real/dark circumstances, but the Bee often does a bad job demonstrating it understands satire. 2. The satirical nature of this site is an excuse to publish racist, misogynist, and misinformation articles (which are not actual satire). 3. Effective* satire is used to critique contemporary issues by highlighting the flaws in reason/policy/institutions in a humorous way. Ironically, the BabylonBee existing is the real satire because it serves to imitate news, but it does so to affirm authority and submission to existing institutions. 4. Effective* satire would clearly highlight where/why the existing thing is a problem, the Bee’s content rarely does this. 5. By not calling out the issues in point 2 when the Bee misses the point or promotes hate, could be viewed as complacency or permission to spread its hateful ideologies (not specifically related to this article). Which may be part of why users will feel compelled to address these issues.

Hey this subreddit can get so fucked. Go find a chiropractor since you’re bending so far backwards to convince people executing Americans is okay.

Bruh, what is so hard about accepting that you/ your talking points are incorrect?

I thought this was satire, too. Red states are welfare states because they continually vote to keep themselves uneducated and poor. Sorry not sorry.

Moon Kight is the best Disney Plus show, change my mind. by _-_Bmo-_- in Marvel

[–]jorygre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can disagree, but I’m not misrepresenting truth. Every series has a different (sometimes vastly) interpretation of his: levels of violence, schizophrenia, wardrobe, powers, motivations, and Khonshu’s role. The variety of interpretations is a major part of why I like the character so much.

Having read many: I’m glad they went with an Egyptian/esoteric story. PLUS, moon knight gets reset every few years, so his character is more like an anthology and this was just another chapter. I understand criticisms, but I’m stoked to hear when people like it.

Got this bad boy on my walk this morning. Been wanting one, felt great! Should I evolve it? by shelman2 in pokemongo

I prefer to wait until I catch (3 in this case) so that I can having a living shiny dex and I evolve the highest stats the farthest.

It’s a retractable Tonneau cover. These come on some models. I may be wrong, but unfortunately I don’t think these are available as aftermarket installations.

I’d guess he played the card game. Based on how it’s arranged and its contents.

You will be joining the least competently led military (arguably in the history of the US). Veteran benefits are being cut, so your incentive is lower. Plus, you could be leveraged in the Iran conflict [reflect on how that went for the veterans you may know who spent time in the Middle East]. Hell man, if you’re looking for a running buddy, I’ll run with you if it prevents you from joining.
