You may not like the show at all, but South Park gets away with ridiculous, insulting stereotypes because there’s a story providing context. They’re often doing it to make some kind of point about American culture.

This tweet can’t claim any of that. It’s simply racist.

What is a “zero-hours contract”? I haven’t heard that term before.

He really didn’t want to discuss the ending.

If the situation was reversed, I’d think this was pretty funny. I’ll think of that instead.

Police are now investigating the incident to examine for any possible criminal charges in the case.

Negligent homicide comes to mind, but I’m no lawyer.

The provider has terminated their employee.

Yeah, killing a kid is usually a dealbreaker.

This man went to a school where the only sex education was to wait until marriage.

F cups? Why such a comically large choice?

She’s already cut you out of the will. I know this isn’t completely about money, but wow. Emotionally, that’s a pretty big “fuck you”. Combined with the guilt tripping, she’s showing you massive disrespect, and isn’t even trying to meet you halfway. That does not sound like a tolerable, much less happy, living environment for you.

I’m glad she has money. That means she can afford her own nursing home.

She isn’t talking to you because I suspect emotional abuse is her weapon of choice. You’re in anguish; she’s just waiting for you to inevitably break. It’s worked for her before, hasn’t it? Has she been manipulating you for years? Playing you against your brother, too, I assume?

I know this will sound harsh, but the mother you love is either dead or never existed in the first place. Please don’t agree to her moving in. You will regret it within minutes.

Yup. Avoiding the question and topping it off with a personal attack is almost as good as an admission of guilt, IMHO. It’s a ridiculous, desperate tactic.

“Fuck around and find out” has become the U.S. motto for international relations lol

Some of the people I work with are naturalized citizens with a Hispanic background. I constantly wonder if I’ll show up to work one day and find out that they’ve “disappeared”.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Ever have one of those close conversations with some, and walk away thinking “yeh… I’m a good guy” (or whatever pronoun you choose, of course). I just had that happen. It’s a nice, reassuring feeling.

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
