Well another medieval thing we’re bringing back is not learning history

Fucking guillotines already

There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?

Intent matters in criminal law and would be considered in future cases of this type. If someone is being arrested for violating the law, and the intent of the arrest is to prosecute legitimate criminal behavior, you’re good. If it can be shown that the intent was political retaliation, you’re in the shit.

Are these things literally Little Tykes Cozy Coupes like wtf

Brave of you to say this

Examples:

• Black Knight (2001)
• arguably, A Knight’s Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
• All of the Ice Age films I guess
• Year One (2009)

there’s actually tons of these.

It’s actually safer if everyone knows. Spreading the knowledge of Roko’s basilisk to everyone means that everyone is incentivized to contribute to the basilisk’s advancement. Therefore just talking about it is also contributing.

Crazy when politicians listen to voters and support the things they want. Don’t they know what their jobs are supposed to be?

This change is likened to expanding a CPU from a one-lane road to a multi-lane highway

This analogy just pegged the bullshit meter so hard I almost died of eyeroll.

Damn it’s gonna take me a while to make a whole cup but I’ll get started

Holy crap it was 28% about a decade ago.

I’d be willing to bet this genius maneuver drives it back up.

Yeah, looking more closely at that graph, I’m noticing it starts in 2009, when Greece had The Crisis: sovereign debt soared thanks to the housing bubble collapse, and people taking a closer look at the actual books of the Greek state. Austerity measures are what led to the massive unemployment spike, and this 6-day work week is another version of austerity.

Austerity doesn’t work. This graph couldn’t be clearer about that fact.

Well that’s a new one on me

But like, how would they even investigate them? That’s the part I don’t understand. Whoever was peeing in there, they’re gone by the time the cops show up. It doesn’t take that long to pee.

I mean, OP replied to my answer and apparently liked it, so I think I got him squared. But here’s a real response:

When the concept of whiteness was invented (yes, invented) it didn’t originally include Irish people, and they did endure abuse and marginalization comparable to what black people have endured and continued to endure. Irish people were worked as near slaves, so they even have a lot of that in common. As you say, I think that if you were Irish in America in the early 19th century, people who already belonged to the White club would have mocked you for your corned beef. We still make fun of Irish people for these things.

But there is a difference. Irish people in modern times got access to whiteness. They were accepted as part of the in-group and no longer marginalized. When this happened, and it took decades to gradually go this direction, the mockery didn’t disappear but, if you were Irish (and, in fact, I am) it would have started to feel less like someone who means you harm, and more as friendly teasing, precisely because you have access to the same power as the Germans and the British and so on who already belonged to the club.

Black people don’t have that. Black people are still very much marginalized, still the victims of racism and violence and institutional exclusion. So piling the food-based racism on top of that, is going to feel a lot more painful.

It’s one thing to be mocked; but to be mocked by someone else who is punching down is much worse.

Ah, but here’s the real hypocrisy: they absolutely do eat those foods. Southerners of any color love fried chicken and watermelon. That doesn’t stop them from being racist about it. Racism doesn’t have to make sense.
