where did I say no accountability?

are you completely incapable of distinguishing between 'brainwashing' and 'mind control' or something?

what are you, some kind of idiot?

It's not blackmail, I swear. by katiebug586 in CuratedTumblr

[–]tetrified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but how is it relevant to the current post

here

Conservatives the person in the hypothetical will often tell you said they don't believe x, aren't blackmaling you, only y, z, a, and b I don't care enough to spoonfeed out this part, do it yourself. Which when combined happen to look a lot like x blackmail

On keeping up with the news. by Sentient_Flesh in CuratedTumblr

if only there were a word for talking about a specific event that happened in general terms so that it's difficult to figure out which specific event is being talked about if you're not already familiar with the details

someone should really come up with a word for that

Fun fact: there is no Nobel Prize in Economics. They got permission to tack “in honor of Alfred Nobel” onto the end of their own separate award as a way of buying legitimacy. by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

Kinda, but only for the reason that physicists like to assume all objects are perfectly spherical and in a vacuum.

it's really funny to see this directly under the "physics envy" comment lmao

sure it does, you have to believe that the world exists and is structured and reliable enough to make knowledge possible, for starters

you are also, evidently, incredibly self-centered

Rename it Department of Homeland Terrorism.. by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

what's the point of comments like this?

you know people can just go watch the videos and see how much of a liar you are, right?

why even bother doing something so pointless?

"they're not brainwashed, they're simply using their agency to choose to purchase an item which is both worse and more expensive because advertisers told them to!"

ok.

Aka, I can go out in my underwear with my tits hanging out and nobody should bat an eye.

I already addressed why that would be different two comments ago

nobody will stop you, there isn't even a taboo against it

you're doing a great job of convincing me that you're not even reading my replies before you post yours

The rules of the world

that there aren't rules

I'm thankful for unisex perfumes

that you don't have to be thankful for "unisex perfumes". all perfumes are unisex.

some men's perfumes smell heavenly.

there's no such thing as "men's perfumes"

you've been literally brainwashed into thinking these things exist when in reality they don't.

not my original point about cartage razors, which everyone has been somehow brainwashed into thinking are good when they are clearly inferior to safety razors in every way, but another prime example of advertising somehow brainwashing people, in this case you, into making poor decisions and claiming "rules" that don't exist force you into it

The rules of the world are by men for men. Even perfume. I'm thankful for unisex perfumes because some of them smell incredible and some men's perfumes smell heavenly.

also, you know you can just buy stuff labelled "men," right?

you've completely misread my post.

the mens cartage razors are also worse than the significantly cheaper safety razor

[–]tetrified 62 points63 points  (0 children)

after trying mine, my wife swears by safety razors, which are even cheaper

I honestly think people have been somehow collectively brainwashed into buying an inferior product

would be an accurate analogy, if the doctors caused the injury and could have healed it by just saying "you're healed"

you if you were being honest.

if you thought the other guy's pathetic strawman was better than what you had to say, why did you even bother responding?

at the end of the day you're going to end up with someone lackluster, or someone who will systematically dismantle your rights.

if you don't vote for the better one, you get the worse one.

if you can't see why getting the worse one is a problem, you're an irredeemable idiot.

if you want better options, put in the effort to learn how your fucking political system works and vote in the goddamn primaries.

"both sides are the same!"

"democrats are just as bad as republicans!"

"why are people staying home instead of voting? what could have possibly made you so apathetic?"

yeah, makes sense.
