Updated: That was quick!

The company founded by a noted anti-woman, anti-semitic, and anti-black man?

Wow. Were they cried and tasteless? Yes. Have we ALL made jokes like them? Yes. Does he believe in rape and all that? No. We are living in the age of no humour.

"Not liking communicating with the press" and being bad at it is not an excuse for completely lying about basic functionality in your game. Yes, the game has come a long way, but he lied (objectively) about its features at launch.

"You see, my client offered to pay her $200,000, but the deal never went through. It is purely coincidental that his lawyer ended up paying her $200,000 and that my client then paid his lawyer $200,000. This proves my client's innocence."

So another fake referendum? I mean yeah Crimea would have voted to join Russia, but not by the margin that the vote recorded. So what is Putin's plan, hold a similar vote in eastern Ukraine? Get 99% of the vote?

If all American children were right now enrolled in private schools, the American public would be convinced by the GOP that "public education is simple unrealistic, and we can't expect taxpayers to foot the bill!" Public post-secondary education and healthcare is a proven concept in other western democracies.

I would view "man it must be hard for Trump to walk around with Putin’s dick in his ass" as entirely about dominance (he is getting fucked by Putin without consent) and not about homosexuality.

Because submission (in any context) is seen as weak by society, as someone else has power over you.

There's nothing wrong with being an employee and someone else being a business owner...but you can still say "man he's not the boss of you!" to someone to imply that they are being submissive to someone else and are an idiot for allowing it.

I mean don't get me wrong, I am glad that X-Men and F4 are now going to be a part of the MCU. But the price for that is too great here.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/18/world/europe/trump-intelligence-russian-election-meddling-.html Yeah, there's no way that Putin doesn't have something on Trump. Or he is traitorous and views his own good fortune above the defense of the country.

Hmm, that's actually more plausible than the pee pee tape, though still less plausible than "money laundering through our banks."

I don't make the jokes or comments, I am just curious how people view them. I don't know that I completely agree that all usage of the word "fucked" is homophobic or misogynistic, though. If you take it down to the root level, "fuck you!" could be seen as both. But in reality the phrase has nothing to do with sex at all, and is just used to express anger. To draw a parallel, in Quebec many of the curse words are actually real words used by the Roman Catholic Church. Originally they were used to refer to Church things, like tabernacle. But now, saying "tabarnak!" just basically is like an extreme version of "fuck!" The original meaning is completely lost in the context of the insult or curse.

I agree that the cartoon and things like it (portraying someone as gay to make them look weak) are homophobic. But are all things related to sex (with the implication between men) homophobic, if used to insult someone? Like my aforementioned examples "He really took it up the ass on that one" or "wow, he got fucked"?

It's something I've not really thought about, the use of "taking it up the ass" or "bending someone over" as insults. Are they homophobic? To me it seems more of a dominance thing than a gay thing (you are fucking someone, or getting fucked by them). Similar to how someone might say "man I got fucked on that deal." Is "getting fucked" homophobic because of the implication that you as a male are on the receiving end of another male? I am honestly curious if these things are widely considered homophobic. I could be wrong (and opinions can and will change over time), but I've always viewed those sayings as apart from sexuality, and to do with dominance.

Using the colours is fine, if done in a reserved and tasteful manner. But do you think any design he is involved with would be either of those? Fortunately by the time it actually is built and in use someone will have changed whatever he insists on.

https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/mining/trade-war-spills-into-uranium-as-u-s-weighs-import-tariffs Why this is a bad idea: The US only produces 5% of its own Uranium for both military and civilian use. So Canada contributes 25% (largest importer), followed by Khazakstan (also 25%) and a bunch of others like Australia and Russia. But to say that it should be subject to tariffs because it's a security threat is...I can't even describe how preposterous it is since it's used by the US for its own security. In reality it's an attack both on trading partners (or "leeches" as Trump would believe) as well as the nuclear power industry. Gotta save coal, even if it means artificially making all of the other options losers. Next up is a 50% surcharge on all sunlight entering the US from it's space border!

Yeah, this is fucked up.

Truly a great man who is not at all isolated from the people and the issues that face them.

Assuming that this is true, then it doesn't really affect the rarity of diamonds since we have no foreseeable way of extracting them from the mantle.
