  • takes one to know one!

  • so why are you here, then?

  • or maybe people keep calling you that for a very good reason: you're a fucking racist

    what other reason could you have for denying the legitimacy of one of your country's official languages? why would you be othering it?

    you're a fucking racist. own it or fix it, but either way shut the fuck up.

  • cool. how is papakangahorohoro hard to say or hard to remember? i literally just typed it from memory and i've seen it all of five times before. i know no te reo besides te reo, haka, maori and PAPAKANGAHOROHORO

    "other languages" aren't we talking about one of the OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of New Zealand? yeah bro, you're racist as fuck.

    Wait, the people living in a place are the most important voices? Jesus fucking Christ the irony.

  • you literally only missed an a in kanga

    i didn't have to look it up to know this

    you know why? because i already knew the word papa and horohoro is the same fucking sound repeated twice. there is no possible reason this could be anything other than racist. i'm not from new zealand and i learned the word in fifteen seconds and i know fucking no te reo besides te reo, maori, haka and fucking PAPAKANGAHOROHORO

  • i mean, bro, you're being racist as fuck in that other thread.

    i'm not from hexbear, you gonna start a thread about kbin, now, too?

  • People invariably point to the Uyghurs and apologisms about China in general. I'm sure that stuff exists, just as it does in any leftist space, but I've never interacted with it so I highly doubt it's some great cause people pick up torches for. Then again maybe it is and I've just never seen it.

  • Oh yay another one of these threads. They sure are different from each other and provide substantive conversation.

  • You'd be surprised. Grenfell fire in the UK and that building that collapsed a week after it was declared fit just happened like a month ago in the US. Corruption is everywhere.

  • Were you posting this shit around the Grenfell tower fire? The Seoul crush? If you’d gone back in time what would your reaction to the Hindenburg be?

    Shut your xenophobic ass up and sit the fuck down as we mourn a tragic loss of life. We’re all human and this is a moment to reflect on that fact. Use it. You need it.

  • Watching liberals realize that federal policing agencies have the same issues as local policing has is a real trip.

  • We could share energy technology to make them less reliant on coal…

  • You said you considered him an actor - the union that is striking does not. That seems pretty obviously relevant.

    Does that extend to the gaffers and everyone else who would get fired? I don’t really think you understand the details of this. Hollywood unions have done a very good job of insulating themselves from retaliation after strikes - everyone has to do it so it’s pretty hard to hold striking against anyone. Plus whatever is baked into contracts. Jennings would be striking alone, unprotected. It’s kind of weird that people are holding him to this when the union isn’t.

  • I mean I’m pretty sure SAG directly disagrees with you about that as they don’t cover presenters.

    It would be nice if they would open their doors more but they won’t even cover wrestlers.

  • A scab is hired to replace someone who is striking. He had previously (as in years) been hired to replace Bialik when she was unavailable. Due to her commitments to the strike, she is unavailable. He, not being a member of the WGA or SAG, has no commitments to the strike, but does have commitments to his contract, which states he is to replace Bialik when she is unavailable. Does that make sense?

  • any country regardless of their gender equality effort up to a certain point have basically the same women to men ratio, which means it isn’t the action of some oppression or shaming.

    Sexism is not constrained to a single nationality, and the patriarchy is international.

    Maybe you’re not aware, but what you just posted was a misogynistic screed. Do better.

  • The person he’s replacing is a member of SAG AFTRA (and maybe also WGA?) and he’d already been hired as her replacement. She’s not going on sympathy strike.
