That’s the question. Are they dumb and mean it or are they just assholes? I also tend to think it’s the second.

I think it’s really good. Keep at it! What software are you using?

Step one: Have a shitton of money to buy property to rent out.
Oh, you don’t have enough money? Hhm, have you tried not being poor?

And he wouldn’t even fit into that dumpster to help the poor animal. =(

It’s an old copy pasta but it holds up better than ever.

Wow that was quite an encyclopedic post. Thank you for the good read!

I saw the community this was posted in and my brain somehow removed the “not” in “not the Onion”. I was like “haha, oh the Onion. They still got it.”

Then I looked at the community again…

DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN ™ to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!

This sounds like something the Bojack Horseman writers would come up with.

Oh wait, you’re even the same person who made the mistake? That’s even better then! And good on you for taking it with such humor. =)

Is this inspired by the “my son cooked me food” post from today? If so, well done crafting it into a joke!

It did in fact make me think and I thank you for that. You won’t like the outcome of that thinking, though.

First of all, I’m far far away from being “mobilized”. I do agree that you could call what the killer did “terrorism” though, as he seeks to influence behavior by mortal fear (terror). Wheter the end justifies the means (as some would argue for example for "eco-terrorism) I don’t know. But I see how some people may feel like all other, more civil, avenues to change their life and the system for the better have been blocked off. But again, I’m far from being “mobilized” as in encouraging such behavior or even picking up a gun myself.

Now why did I laugh at the response? Simple: It’s morbid and unexpected, which are two aspects that I often find humorous.

Do I feel bad about laughing? No. The reason and the main difference to the “hate speech” you refer to are twofold: First, this joke is punching up, not punching down, as hate speech usually is. Second, hate speech is usually about what people are (black, asian, transgender, gay). This guy in contrast was loathed for what he did. That’s a major difference, since you can’t change what you are but what you do is in your hands.

I would love to hear a response from you but the condescension and smugness in your tone of writing makes me think that this won’t make you think.

Holy fuck. Not saying I agree (also not saying I don’t) but I laught at that answer.

One is politically motivated? Or what is the “official” difference? One happens in public? But why should one be investigated with more resources than the other?

Never ever believe companies when they make promises like “we will have x by date y”. Especially if date y is further away than maybe the end of the year. Shell also made big promises and then quietly dropped them. Of course the making of the promise came with a big PR budget. The dropping of the plans was silent. Weird how that works…

AGAIN???

Billionaires were a mistake. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fuck, now I have to listen to that. Such a good song!

I love the idea of using a DOF effect in a drawing.
Also the drawing itself is hilarious!

He still doesn’t know what’s in the secret sauce though.
