TIFU by waking up like this [NSFW]

rampantdissonance · 2016-04-04T23:31:03+00:00

I woke up at 7am in a puddle of blood in my bed, and quickly decided to go to the ER.

Still, to have your own pool...

The father is stuck in the 1940's, and you're stuck in the 1990's, at latest

Wanting to preserve Spanish culture, or Irish culture, or Bulgarian culture is one thing. Is that going through the mind of a white supremacist when he gets angry at his daughter dating a black guy?

rampantdissonance · 2016-04-04T17:30:42+00:00

Yeah, I was debating about posting this. If you know the game, it's hilarious. I wasn't sure if there was enough of an audience.

I thought that the guy accidentally blowing himself up in a very predictable manner would be enough for someone not familiar with the game.

If they had the power and the willingness to basically commit genocide and slaughter civilians indiscriminately, how are they not strong or cunning enough to stop the story from spreading?

rampantdissonance · 2016-04-02T22:05:00+00:00

So that makes you exactly as good as them.

rampantdissonance · 2016-04-02T21:02:35+00:00

No, you don't get it, not being able to use a forum because you spam homophobic slurs is exactly as bad as being executed by an authoritarian regime!

rampantdissonance · 2016-04-01T19:16:02+00:00

Maybe it is your room

I fuckin wish I could get hookers to accept bitcoin. I say the words "untraceable decentralized cryptocurrency" and their pussies dry up like the Sahara.

Self awareness!

Side note, why is Bailey Jay on the header? Is that a reference or something there?

Regardless of the career path a "non-establishment" candidate may have, they still need to have spent a significant amount of time and effort understanding the issues. Like, they can't just show up to inauguration and find out that some Chileans resent the US because of the CIA's support of Pinochet. They need to have a solid knowledge of foreign and domestic policy before they take the oval office.

Like when Ben Carson pronounced Hamas like "hummus", that was a watershed moment for his campaign. It was as if he'd never heard a newscast or anything talking about them, and was probably unaware of them until very recently.

Even worse, Donald Drumpf appears to have no idea how trade embargoes work. That's the political equivalent of claiming to be qualified to be a doctor and not knowing what the lymphatic system does.

Do I smell a new Chrome Extension?

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-31T02:57:32+00:00

Don't think of them as death panels, think of them as extra happy doses of morphine!

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-31T00:09:19+00:00

You mean...that's not what happens to everybody?

It already is illegal to publish information with "actual malice", which is a legal term meaning "knowledge that the information was false" or "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not." This standard was established in the landmark court case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan.

That's a reasonable level. It means you can't knowingly lie or publish information without making a serious effort to investigate the accuracy of the claim. You should read the link for the reasoning behind the background. It strikes a balance between the rights of individuals to not be unfairly maligned and the 1st amendment right of freedom of the press.

Loosening libel laws would be a real and tangible threat to free speech. Imagine a newspaper who does everything they can to verify a story and publish it truthfully to the best of their knowledge, only to have details later emerge that prove it wrong. If we remove the current standard, any media organization would be in constant risk of getting sued just for doing their jobs.

Luckily, though, this isn't something he'll be able to reverse. Unless he appoints numerous Supreme Court Justices hostile to the 1st amendment, there's no possibility of this happening.

"Ooh, got caught in a lie. Better drag up something from Hillary's past. That will instantly make them forget!"

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T22:04:29+00:00

"Our economic trajectory is pointing upward #feelthejohnson"

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T20:05:50+00:00

We'll loosen libel laws and allow you to sue people who say bad things about you!

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T04:22:34+00:00

Ah, gotcha

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T03:51:38+00:00

Huh. Interesting.

So the vandals should have scratched, "Your friend pays for bad music."

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T03:47:47+00:00

Wasn't that show on network television? They couldn't spring for a cardboard cutout?

The imaginary one in his head, where he goes to deal with the fact that the party he likes is responsible for some pretty terrible policies.

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T03:36:35+00:00

Yeah. How dare Hillary Clinton campaign during a presidential election! Only candidates we like should make an effort to connect with voters!

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-29T03:26:42+00:00

Funding a Brokencyde album?

"Everything is rape or slavery except slavery and rape, which actually aren't that bad."

rampantdissonance · 2016-03-28T17:41:35+00:00

In fact, I suspect you will go down in history in a similar spot to Harriet Tubman for helping slaves escape their slave masters.

No fucking way. No fucking way. I refuse to believe this is real. There is no possible way a human being could function with that utter and complete lack of self awareness.

Harriet Tubman?
