Ejaculating

“Hey, baby, Elon Musk says we should fuck.”

Both people are being sexist - the person who made this initial statement, and the person who replied. I’m not really helping by calling them sexist, though. The important questions are “why does this stereotype exist? How do I prevent/fix it?”

This is such a classic communication problem. I’d like to hear how to overcome it.

A friend of mine somehow said “rad” in a way that was ironic, gently mocking, and sincerely complimentary at the same time. It was perfect. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone else who manages to say any word in quite that way.

I didn’t realize a B-52 had never landed in South Korea before. I would have assumed it had already happened enough times to be completely unremarkable.

No worries. These things happen.

Either you replied to the wrong comment, or I’m misunderstanding yours

This is a good idea, but I have a suggestion:

Wait until these people are even more desperate. They bought these houses as vacation homes and rental properties, and knew the area was at risk. They’re lucky to be getting anything at all.

They don’t need the money. Play hardball, and save it for the thousands of people who will.

No. I never tried to say it. I just plain said it…

I’d like to point out to folks that whatever your stance on the issue may be, this statement (taken by itself) is pretty funny.

Please excuse the interruption and continue.

I don’t like it one bit.

The government sees it as a strategic need to have a strong ally in the region. That view will not change, at least not anytime soon. The Pentagon considers it a national security issue, which puts it beyond politics. Unfortunately, I have to live with that.

Careful, France, this sounds like something a Trump supporter would come up with.

I have. Sometimes, if I’m forced to attend an event at the house of someone I don’t like, I’ll wash my hands with it out of spite.

My hatred of throw pillows is so extreme that it borders on psychotic.

“They don’t serve any purpose besides getting in your way! What if you want to sit on the couch, but there’s already someone else on it? You can’t just put the throw pillow in their lap. You can’t toss it on the floor, either. That’s rude. I HATE THEM SO MUCH.” 🔪 🪶🪶🪶

Okay, but is the beginning the front page or the last page?

I’m bewildered, too. The only thing keeping me from flying into a confused, indignant rage is the thought that a lab is kind of like a kitchen.

Yeesh. If Braverman said nothing at all, it would have been better than trying to make a joke of it.

I misunderstood. If you’re participating in the process and doing what you believe in, that’s cool.

Reread the last sentence of the comment you’re replying to.

No candidate will ever be ideal, and apathy just makes things easier for the worst ones. Get off your ass and vote.

According to Bloomberg, its [Shell’s] business plan “puts oil and gas front and center while giving low-carbon efforts a smaller supporting role,”

…the oil and gas giant set the task of ‘giving millennials a reason to connect emotionally with Shell’s commitment to a sustainable future.’

Wow, Shell. Fuck you too.

People (especially the rich old guys who make decisions like this) make the mistake of thinking that young people are dumb. They’re not. I hope this condescending attempt at manipulation turns into the well-publicized fiasco that it deserves to be.
