Yeah, this.

OP has misunderstood the joke being made ("haha this is an unfortunate picture") and is using it to be cruel to a stranger ("bUt ShE PrObAbLy WoN't mAkE bEtTeR cHoIcEs") .

Go fuck yourself, OP. You're the one that needs to make better choices.

Do you deny climate change on the same basis?

That's a lot of words to avoid saying you're talking out your ass.

"Yeah, I could totally tell you. Honest. Promise. No I can't because... uh... I'd have to kill you."

Are you joking?

Veganism and vegetarianism is massively on the rise and firmly in the mainstream. McDonald's does a plant based burger ffs.

PETA have even managed to position themselves as a certification agency for "cruelty free". If getting companies to self-regulate and accept you as the rule maker for that regulation isn't above your standard of "working" then I don't know what is.

Sexuality

When people talk about "LGBT Pride", they're not talking about the "a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements" definition, they're talking about the "confidence and self-respect as expressed by members of a group, typically one that has been socially marginalized" definition.

It's almost like words can have more than one meaning.

Not celebrities - historical figures.

How many can you name that have been dead for at least 50 years?

It's also a very culty behaviour to hate apostates even more than nonbelievers.

If the extremist freaks are going to target anyone with violence, it's going to be the perceived "traitors" who "stabbed them in the back".

I'd like to respond, but I'm going to need you to read 5,000 words on my personal philosophy towards online commenting before I do.

Are you aware how obnoxious it is to spam a 5,000 word article while refusing to provide any summation or distillation of its thesis?

[-] the_inebriati@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

No, it fucking doesn't and every mouthbreathing moron who parrots this needs to have a long hard look at themselves.

Ronald McDonald House is a good charity. Pays for parents to stay near their sick kids' hospital. They do good work.

Stop trying to discourage people from donating to charity. You're actively making the world worse through your own ignorance.

or even half of it

I mean they basically do. $20m vs the $56m raised by customers.

But don't let facts get in the way of you frothing at the mouth.

The process of loving an institution or a country or an idea is fundamentally different from the process of loving a person.

To love a person is to accept them on every level of their being.

To love an institution is to be its harshest critic, in the hopes that we can better direct the strokes from our hammer and our chisel to reveal the sculpture within. Nobody has ever created anything beautiful by loudly claiming their block of marble is better than the rest.
