  • My cat Bucky does this too. Here's a bad picture of it.

    In my house we call it "vulturing".

  • I've never liked most of their food, but you used to be able to get a hot, cheap, and quick meal there. And at least the fries were tasty, and the Coca-Cola was perfect.

    In the 80s and 90s, going to McDonald's felt like a guilty pleasure. It felt cheap, but you were in on it so it was ok.

    Now it feels cheap at your expense. It's sparse, like they're providing the minimal viable product. The fries are garbage, the Coke is garbage, and the service is garbage.

  • Pretty sure it's a reaction without any external energy input, which this is, but again, I'm no astronaut.

  • Yes, it's misused sometimes. And it sounds like you agree that sometimes it's the right word for the situation.

    If a man inaccurately and smugly trying to correct a female astronaut, punctuating it with "Simple thermo", isn't the right time to use "mansplaining", then when would be?

  • I'm pretty sure he didn't make a fair point. I haven't taken any thermodynamics classes, but I think the word "spontaneous" means something more specific in this context and is technically accurate.

    He's trying to one up her by using the common definition.

    So he's wrong on multiple levels here, and there's no reason to pick apart the meaningless social media post accusing him of mansplaining.

  • Sometimes people are being sexist. Mansplaining is a real thing that happens. You may not see the need for the word because you personally don't need it, but maybe you can understand that there a lot of people who do need it?

  • I've never heard of a disco clam before, but it makes sense if you think about Sam Clam's Disco.

  • Ugh. Like those Parents of the Year in Texas whose 12-year-old died of measles. They still stand by their choice not to vaccinate, and it's like, what would that 12-year-old think? She was a living, thinking person. Would she be proud to be a prop in their little fascist play?

    It's a sweet little children's book that's banned in my kids' school district. I'm honestly surprised the conservatives understood the metaphor.

  • I've read this book to my kids, except the kitten was trying to be a unicorn. It has a happy ending.

    That kitten mushroom can be anything it wants to be!

    Why do american white evangelicals love Donald Trump?

    Jump

  • In addition to all that, Jesus has some really specific things to say about how to treat foreigners. A lot of his teachings are open for interpretation, but that one is pretty clear.

    I'm enthusiastically not a Christian, but as I get older (or maybe as the world gets more fucked up) I'm starting to appreciate that there's some value in the teachings. And I'm of the opinion that voting for Donald Trump was absolutely incompatible with Christianity.

    To actually answer your question: it's because they're hypocrites. The same kind of hypocrites that are mentioned in the Bible.

  • But that's what he's doing. He's being a "good" queer, which means he's publicly denying it. That's the kind of homosexual they tolerate: the one who's ashamed of it.

  • I would have thought you'd pick the more obvious example of Dexter Holland, from the Offspring, who has a PhD in molecular biology. Apparently the line "Gotta keep 'em separated" from Come Out and Play was inspired by two chemicals that he had to keep separated.

  • There's a Disco Elysium joke here, but I can't think of how to phrase it. Just pretend I made a perfectly worded reference.
