LOL. Love it!

"why do you have to have a list of anti-concepts"
Exactly. And creating a "safe space" where being rude is a crime is bad for many reasons.

We already have rules about incitement to riot. You can't tell a crowd, "Come on. Let's go find some aces and f#($!@& erase 'em!" LOL Actually you can b/c it sounds absurd. I cannot even type about ace erasure without laughing.

Trying to be serious for a moment, I've known a few people who apparently never had b/fs or g/fs. Maybe they are gay but feel a religious objection to expressing it. Maybe they were abused or had some bad relationship. Maybe they just by nature are not into it. That's fine. I don't need a word to tell me not to bug them about it. I see nothing human-defying or reality-defying about them not expressing sexuality.

I have no idea what this otherkin thing is. I also don't know what dyadism, trans-misogyny, and multiplicity hate are. I'm only vaguely aware of what cissupremecy and binarism are. When I read that list I'm happy to see racism because I know what racism is. In a few years my kids will probably be embarrassed by ignorance.

That one girl is bi. That makes me think...was I dating liberals all those years?...

both of these anti-concepts defy being human, which I find kinda interesting. everyone defying reality in some way and then trying to bully or shame those who recognize reality. Politeness is one of those things where you don't have to hang out with rude people, but why do you have to have a list of anti-concepts when you could just say you're rude! and walk away?

It's a silly joke. A few weeks ago someone posted an article here that mention "safe spaces". It really changed my views. It had a link to the school newspaper apologizing for publishing a reasonable moderate Republican opinion piece and not maintaining a "safe space". I searched on the phrase and found http://safespacenetwork.tumblr.com/Sa...

It has a list of the kinds of discrimination proscribed in Orwellian-named "safe spaces", where people "can relax and fully express". My favorites were "ace erasure" and "otherkin hate", which respectively are discrimination against asexual people and people who do not identify with the human race (I think they've jumped the shark on that one). I find this bizarre.

I completely agree with their desire not to offend people. If someone doesn't want a partner, it's impolite to keep saying, "you should really find yourself a nice b/f" after the person says she's not into partners. The safe space thing has gone completely berserk, though, in assigning names to all ways of being rude and then treating them as if it were crimes.

For some reason I find it comical they says indignantly “this blog will not tolerate ace erasure”. I try to laugh about it by saying "hey, that's ace erasure."

Khalling: ...This is so close to the probable reality of things to come that it is actually painful to watch. It was uncanny but it reminded me of the "Wet Nurse's story of how the university had crippled his mind, had broken his spirit and turned reasoning upside down. Probably one of Rand's more poignant moments in AS.
Also, the video reminds us of what destroyed the "Twenty-first Century Motor Company in AS, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." and therein started the mythical (so everyone thought) "Who is John Galt".

we wont find out who backed her with money in exchange for political promises until a lot later, perhaps in another hidden mode of communication.

Term: I do not particularly care for that word in all it's ambiguity-but, in this case I would have to admit you nailed it as it does describes her well.

That is a funny show...

No. He worked out all the problems and all except one had a 4-digit answer. One might guess the one with 3-digits was the correct selection (for a crazy person). I had him write over the question, "My dad is an engineer and doesn't understand this question." Teacher was fine with that.

I know. Its hard to balance off living expenses for as long as I will live with resources. I want to die penniless and not have to work any more than I need to in order to survive at the level I want.

It would be hard to "buy" Trump. As opposed to Hillary who is a political whore

Actually that's true

Term: Well, you better start spending it...

(I'm not picking on you Term, it's just that I can't resist your comments - I like them.)

Term: Sanders...?! Well that would put a physical Gulch on a fast track.

Term: I can hear it now: "You're Vetoed!"
You know the Presidency for Trump would be his crowning glory. He is wild but I can see him putting everything he has to go down a winner in present and in history.

Rex: High schools- not yet... Universities- at the brink.

hmm. I assume it is misplaced parentheses? I'm having trouble even divining their intent with that?

Yes. My little son is having me help him tackle common core math now. It's very ....enlightening. Imagine getting a sheet of several multiplication problems and being asked, "Which problem doesn't belong?"

It's over folks. The fat lady is taking a deep breath in...

what are those?

A very interesting question. Bankruptcy happens I think when you spend what you have plus what you can beg, borrow and steal or dig out of the ground. Sanders would accelerate the process

How would being bankrupt be different than being 20 trillion in debt with no conceivable way to pay it?

This video ignores problems like ace erasure and otherkin hate.

WOW!...Nailed it...scared me more than 'Jaws', 'The Exorcist" and 'Alien' put together!
