I feel like “I hate this woman and I want to have sex with her” accurately summarizes about half the comments on the internet

On selfies

Why are selfies tacky?
Selfies are tacky because tacky people take selfies.


What’s the difference between a selfie and a self portrait?
An artist.


what’s your problem with selfies bitch?
My problem is their ubiquity and pervasiveness. The selfie phenomenon reflects a certain kind of crass self-absorption that I find repulsive, and I’m tired of staring back at legions of shirtless duckfaced morons posing under the florescent lights of their own bathroom mirrors.


what about the selfie as a way for women to be photographed the way they see themselves instead of as objects of the male gaze?
Don’t use feminist theory to make excuses for your narcissism.


I take selfies and I’m not tacky!
Fine. You’re the exception. You’re special. Whatever.

The CEO of AIG is complaining that people who are upset over the huge ass bonuses they pay themselves for wrecking the economy are as bad as lynch mobs in the deep south. Apparently, no matter how much black people have suffered, millionaire middle-aged white bankers have it worse.

It’s so surprising that the CEO of a financial company might be a racist, worthless piece of shit asshole.

I don't like to wear my pants baggy. I'm not a fan of the look. But if other people want to wear theirs baggy it's their pants and their bodies so I guess they can do whatever they want.

YEAH NO SHIT HOMIE

Is it racist, that I don't watch game of thrones because of all the white people?

I just wish the white community would get together to address issues of sex and violence so evident in their media.

yo, i just found out that a guy who wants to date me thinks hate speech and slurs should be allowed on college campuses because it's still "protected speech". how do i tell this guy to fuck off without telling him to fuck off? i have to deal with him for at least the rest of the semester.

Racists always spend a lot of time pretending that hate speech is somehow not permitted by law, or that being told that they’re racists who need to shut the fuck up somehow abridges their right to be racist. You don’t have to deal with those people. You just don’t, they’re too fucking stupid, and they’re FUCKING RACISTS.

yo, what about Eric Clapton's (shitty) cover of "I Shot the Sheriff" being more popular than the original? racist or just really wack?

Is it not completely obvious that it is both?

Rap has a problem with misogyny but the works of Henry Miller are important literature - White people

Yeah, or the bible, or the music of the Beatles, but yeah, you got the right idea.

anonymous asked: Yo, there was this white English chick who was telling me why she didn’t like my rugby team, and she said it was cos of the haka (Maori war dance) they do before each game. She told me that it was “too tribal”. Is this as fucking racist as I think it is?

CAREFUL! Usually when an English person says something is “too tribal,” that’s usually followed a couple centuries of violent colonization.

WUNC’s Piece on the SECU

by Leo Suarez

SECU Tower

SECU Tower by dtraleigh, on Flickr

Here’s a good article about the North Carolina State Employees’ Credit Union, something readers are probably familiar with as their new tower, shown above, will be opening soon.

State Employees’ is considered a big credit union on a national scale. It is approaching $27 billion in assets and has a membership base of 1.8 million people.

*Down Economy Equals Growth At State Employees’ Credit Union

The article also claims that employees will start moving into their new offices in late September.

I’ve said it before, the SECU tower is my favorite modern building in downtown Raleigh. It’s kind of a surprise from a ‘sleepy’ institution in town but their building, as well as millions of dollars of investment in the nearby museums, should not go unnoticed. I liked this article cause it shares some history of this growing presence right up the street.

And No Warrants Shall Issue, Unless the King Says So

by Kevin

In what is surely an incredible coincidence, the partner of the reporter (Glenn Greenwald) who has been embarrassing the NSA over the past few weeks was just detained at Heathrow airport under the Terrorism Act, held for nine hours, questioned extensively about things having nothing to do with terrorism, and then released without charges. They kept his laptop and other electronic equipment, though, an act that would be called "stealing" if you or I did it. (That happens in the U.S. too. Where it is also stealing.)

The Brits aren't constrained by the Fourth Amendment itself, of course, but there are (or at least there once were) similar principles in their law. In fact, the reason we have the Fourth Amendment in the first place is because we were sick of the King's agents ignoring those principles. (One of the most famous cases in English law on this topic, decided in 1765, involved a "general warrant" for the seizure of a journalist and his papers and effects, issued just because he embarrassed the King.) So it is a little ironic that now the governments of both countries obviously feel free to ignore them again, to the point where they are willing to go after the loved ones of journalists who embarrass them.

Is that irony? Maybe it's just sad. The last name of Greenwald's partner is "Miranda." Is that irony? Alanis Morrisette I think has permanently confused me on this.

(904): Best sex of my life. But I think it's because I like his apartment. Really nice bed sheets. High vaulted ceilings. I wanted to lay there forever.

anonymous asked: My BF is one of those well-meaning but occasionally “unintentionally” racist guys; he’s willing to listen and usually o understands why what he said was fucked up, so I stick with it rather than writing in to YSIDTA, but when I do, he always starts off by being really defensive and telling me he “feels really judged” when I call him out. Since I’m taking the kindly approach with him and can’t say this to his face, I’d like to say it here: YOU *SHOULD* FEEL JUDGED WHEN YOU SAY RACIST SHIT, NICK.

GODDAMN NICK, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
