Neither Democrats or republicans that’s for sure.

And do what?

I’m all for rightful outrage but where do you personally direct it so as to dismantle the current system?

Can certain aspects of what constitutes ‘race’ be performative? I.e. are their certain clothes, behaviours, voice characteristics, words, body movements that make someone a particular race?

Or is race physically defined?

If it’s the former I can see a case for transracialism.

If it’s the latter it’s more difficult for me to see it being possible.

I don’t care for Brie Larson.

And I think Captain Marvel is a boring concept, wish they wouldn’t use that character as a focus.

I just want to say that I understand the reference for this and for anyone wondering there was a video of a cop who thought an acorn falling on a car roof was a gunshot and he immediately empties an entire magazine into a car while wildly combat rolling like a terrified toddler.

The body cam footage would be hilarious if it wasn’t so fucking terrifying.

It’s annoying me because that commenter is using a diminutive to try and anthropomorphise a robot.

You can anthropomorphise it but at least have a basic understanding of the dimensions of the thing you’re trying to make cute.

Curiosity isn’t a little robot.

It’s the size of a small car…

Yeah I called them all those things and I still do.

Steam doesn’t have a monopoly on digital games distribution if you’re unhappy with their service just use another one that allows you to own a direct software license.

Stop being a conspiracy nutjob.

You don’t get to use a lack of higher education as an excuse to be ignorant though. Not saying you do, but there are people that take the idea that just because there are stupid people who are highly qualified means that all ‘experts’ can be disregarded. Not true.

There are plenty of intelligent people at uni, just like there are plenty who never did higher education.

The things that both of those groups have in common though is that they are curious, intellectually honest and can be reasoned with when presented with evidence.
