("take back" is probably not the correct term there.. but you know what I was trying to mansplain)

2018-05-18 19:52:17 UTC

I think men need to claim "Femsplain" instead, where they then belittle the people who care by pretending to lower themselves to their standards :P

"Let me femsplain it so you understand"

If they find it sexist, you then cure the whole point of <gender>splaining
If they are insulted, you can laugh at them, making their point moot
If they accept it, you have an excuse ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-05-18 19:53:58 UTC

that just seems like you are belittling people tho... also Im not thinking just when youre talking to women .. Im think just in general... just basically erode the word "explain" from existance

2018-05-18 19:54:22 UTC

you two are assuming that they posesess something resembling self awareness

2018-05-18 19:54:43 UTC

doesnt matter if they dont

2018-05-18 19:56:25 UTC

imagine in 5yrs if the word mansplain was basically synonymous with explain.... if a woman said "stop mansplaining" it would essentially sound (to anyone) like they are basically saying "stop explaining"

2018-05-18 19:57:18 UTC

(which in a way they already are... unless Ive misunderstood what mansplain means)

2018-05-18 19:58:51 UTC

you will not get it to be synonymous with explain because the only people using it now are stupid idiots and reasonable people will not use it because they don't want to look like a stupid idiot

2018-05-18 19:59:20 UTC

and yes, it does mean "stop explaining things i don't want to understand"

2018-05-18 19:59:20 UTC

Ive just seen it in a few tweets recently

2018-05-18 20:00:49 UTC

every single time i've seen it in a tweet (which is the only place i've seen it outside of buzzfeed or the like) it was used by someone who i would not want to interact with on any level

2018-05-18 20:05:35 UTC

hence the belittling,
Rationality doesn't work on people who actually use Mansplaining unironically

2018-05-18 20:06:27 UTC

might aswell make it a snowflake thing ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-05-18 20:06:32 UTC

update on the molenbeek fire from a couple days ago

2018-05-18 20:06:37 UTC

apparently some actress from westworld was saying people mansplain the series to her

2018-05-18 20:06:47 UTC

the investigators concluded that the fire might have been arson

2018-05-18 20:06:55 UTC

also

2018-05-18 20:07:00 UTC

actors are not people i have respect for

2018-05-18 20:07:12 UTC

1 person got sent to the hospital in shock

2018-05-18 20:07:17 UTC

what about Tom Hanks?

2018-05-18 20:07:24 UTC

there where no other casualties/injured

2018-05-18 20:08:03 UTC

I mean... theyre still counting the bodies

2018-05-18 20:09:19 UTC

to be fair,
As much as i genuinely enjoy that tweet :P

I feel Trump is in a can't win situation, if he says nothing they'll accuse him of not caring cuz he doesn't respond enough

2018-05-18 20:10:30 UTC

so trump is not allowed to say that there was a shooting?

2018-05-18 20:11:18 UTC

I think it was just a joke... but the amount of rt's likes kinda says something

2018-05-18 20:12:00 UTC

i dunno, every single tweet trump makes draws that level

2018-05-18 20:12:32 UTC

not trumps tweet.... "god"'s tweet

2018-05-18 20:12:33 UTC

and they're both a mixture of people going "haha" and people going "knock it off fag"

2018-05-18 20:12:38 UTC

yeah

2018-05-18 20:12:41 UTC

thats what i'm comparing

2018-05-18 20:13:44 UTC

aside from the most recent one, Trumps last 10 tweets have gotten ~15,000 retweets and ~50,000 likes

2018-05-18 20:15:59 UTC

right but how many does "tweet of god" usually get?

2018-05-18 20:16:05 UTC

and probably about 10k responses that throw unrelated insults at him

2018-05-18 20:17:08 UTC

if anyone has a case of getting harassed online - its trump ๐Ÿ˜„

2018-05-18 20:17:19 UTC

granted thats lower, his usual tweets aren't targeted at the most dividing subject in current time ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-05-18 20:18:12 UTC

now that im looking at God's tweets, its only about 20-30% higher than usual

2018-05-18 20:18:49 UTC

but anyway, good joke, albeit an easy target,

2018-05-18 20:20:45 UTC

i don't even like the joke. it's basically saying "fuck the victims, i'm not blessing anyone"

2018-05-18 20:21:41 UTC

true,

But i am easily amused by bouts of random verbal aggression ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-05-18 20:23:00 UTC

but its how you interprate it,

One side will see it like you said, where he's basically saying "Fuck the victim, im not blessing anyone"
The other side will see it as god saying "Fuck you asshole, i'm not your tool to pretend to care"

2018-05-18 20:24:22 UTC

usually i am also... but when it comes to trump its just annoying at this point, there is nothing anyone can hurl at him that colbert & co have not thrown at him within a month of his presidency

2018-05-18 20:25:32 UTC

i could really live without the constant "trump is a <instert buzzword here>, look at me i'm funny"

2018-05-18 20:26:13 UTC

now THAT 100%, which is why i said, easy target,

Cuz with trump its damned if you do damned if you don't

If he says something, they spit on him for saying something
If he says nothing, they spit on him for saying nothing

And anything anti-trump is widely accepted as good/funny, when its in a lot of cases not at all

2018-05-18 20:26:33 UTC

personally i'm pro-trump mind you ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-05-18 20:26:44 UTC

wish Europe got someone like him

2018-05-18 20:28:05 UTC

1.1 school shootings per week.... thats not that same stat that used "reported" shots, or ones unrelated to school that happened on or next to school grounds from earlier in the year. When there was like 12 and only 3 of them actually had someone at school hurt or killed, is it?

2018-05-18 20:29:10 UTC

for something to be funny it has to be 1) unexpected, 2) some degree of true and 3) in good faith. the god tweet had the first without the second and third. but its one more than anything on late nighttv.

2018-05-18 20:29:22 UTC

only 1.1 per week?

I wasn't 2015 like 1 per day?

2018-05-18 20:29:33 UTC

or am i mixing just mass shootings?

2018-05-18 20:30:26 UTC

you do

2018-05-18 20:31:09 UTC

i disagree with the 3rd one, comedy doesn't have to be in good faith

That said, theres a difference between joking at someones expense and just being hateful

2018-05-18 20:31:11 UTC

and wiki has 20 school shootings for 2018 which includes idiots shooting themselves while playing with a gun

2018-05-18 20:31:12 UTC

what up peepz

2018-05-18 20:31:21 UTC

shootin

2018-05-18 20:31:26 UTC

maybe mixing mass shootings. but last time i heard that stat, it included instances like 2 gang members or like a bad drug deal that happened in the parking lot. it also included accidental discharge with no injuries

2018-05-18 20:31:39 UTC

the school shooting stat

2018-05-18 20:31:50 UTC

anything to add numbers for an argument i guess

2018-05-18 20:32:06 UTC

@Grenade123 thats why we need this information on blockchains ๐Ÿ˜•

2018-05-18 20:32:22 UTC

no one knows true stats anymore they can just be fudged

2018-05-18 20:32:31 UTC

a joke in bad faith is an insult, which makes it not funny.

2018-05-18 20:32:33 UTC

I recall Styxhexenhammer even saying that in order to drive gun incidents down after some gun-control, they changed the numbers that a mass shooting required like 6 people hurt as opposed to 4 before

2018-05-18 20:32:34 UTC

tweets can be faked

2018-05-18 20:32:38 UTC

tweets can be deleted

2018-05-18 20:32:42 UTC

why the fuck did we make such a shit system

2018-05-18 20:32:58 UTC

insults can be funny, they just have to be witty and true

2018-05-18 20:33:01 UTC

"A student shot another student with a BB gun in Gloversville Middle School."

^ they include this

2018-05-18 20:33:07 UTC

lol

2018-05-18 20:33:24 UTC

"One person was hospitalized after a shooting at an apartment building on the campus of the University of South Alabama."

^ and this

2018-05-18 20:33:30 UTC

people need to stop blaming the schools

2018-05-18 20:33:36 UTC

and starting being better parents

2018-05-18 20:33:39 UTC

and this "A student was shot inside a dormitory at Jackson State University. His injuries were not life-threatening."

2018-05-18 20:33:45 UTC

who actually spend more than 15 mins with this children a day

2018-05-18 20:33:46 UTC

a lot of "yeah, technically thats true" in there

2018-05-18 20:33:48 UTC

oh shots fired

2018-05-18 20:33:48 UTC

"Two people were shot to death at a dormitory on the campus of Central Michigan University. The victims were not students and police think the incident stemmed from a domestic situation.
"

2018-05-18 20:34:09 UTC

i'm curious about this one tbh

"A student at Norfolk State University was shot from an adjacent dorm room while he was doing homework. He was not seriously injured."

2018-05-18 20:34:19 UTC

"A person was shot in a rec center at Mississippi Valley State University. Police said the person was not a student and the injury was not life-threatening."

2018-05-18 20:34:19 UTC

In parenting is non existant the middle class has disapper and now people work 2-3 jobs alone

2018-05-18 20:34:26 UTC

to support a child who is alone and raises themself

2018-05-18 20:34:28 UTC

seems healthy

2018-05-18 20:34:36 UTC

"A person was shot on the campus of Savannah State University and taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. Neither the victim nor the shooter were university students, the college said."

2018-05-18 20:35:02 UTC

@Grenade123 look up stats from 1800s

2018-05-18 20:35:15 UTC

massacures happeend lmao

2018-05-18 20:35:23 UTC

I think shit is pretty fuckin safe

2018-05-18 20:35:30 UTC

Schools get less violent every year

2018-05-18 20:35:35 UTC

"A Winston-Salem State University football player, Najee Ali Baker, was shot to death at a party on the campus of Wake Forest University."

2018-05-18 20:35:41 UTC

the thing is people wont let you look at the overall stats

2018-05-18 20:35:49 UTC

Drug crime vs violent crime

2018-05-18 20:35:57 UTC

thats like 8 or so out of those 20, which i would say don't really count

2018-05-18 20:36:04 UTC

and the amount of drug crime like crack sales done by the DEA/CIA has effected violent crime

2018-05-18 20:36:11 UTC

Gary webb wrote a book about CIA selling cocaine

2018-05-18 20:36:14 UTC

Tons of intentional distortion and conflation of information to demoralize you and exert control over you.

2018-05-18 20:36:33 UTC

it's pretty likely to be true. Why else would they tighten drug laws at the same time of building crack networks?

2018-05-18 20:36:38 UTC

Confuse you with reams of misinformation until you don't know what's what and can't possibly hope to sort through it all.

2018-05-18 20:36:40 UTC

this isn't including the few negligent discharges, which make up a few others

2018-05-18 20:36:41 UTC

they knew it would enslave poor and black people.

2018-05-18 20:36:49 UTC

and they would be the new irish

2018-05-18 20:37:05 UTC

from what i understand a lot of gang violence at schools would be considered school shootings if the perpetrator was white
