Dunno. People have been crushed to death by cheese wheels. Not sure if any of them had a smile on their face at the time.

You know that scene with the guy on the castle wall in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that farts in your general direction?
Yeah, I giggled.

That I exist. And that we’re in a relationship.

It’s a love-hate thing. You wouldn’t get it…

Exxon just sued its shareholders for crying about climate change.

That’s because they’ve integrated it into the start menu. Evil, yes. But technically correct.

Fun fact! Lightning can’t penetrate deep into large bodies of water and instead spreads over a larger surface area.

Funner fact! I have no idea if the above is true because I just made it up!

Trust no one on the internet.

Dunno, but within the context, Microsoft claimed only ads for Microsoft products. Now, whether those products are predatory mobile games for example, well that’s technically within the said terms. It’s basically a matter of scope and wordplay.

The globe is immaterial.

Joke: Why hate the disabled?

Communism. The idea is great, reality is so fucked up though.

I understand that, I really do. However, what if you change nazi memorabilia with LGBT+ stuff? Is the bartender still correct in doing so?

Or change the LGBT+ stuff to any kind of recognizable symbols of a certain group. Is it still the paradox of tolerance or is it now the paradox of intolerance? Note that this isn’t something leading. I am asking as a question that I don’t know the answer to.

I know that some groups shouldn’t be tolerated in a society they want to destroy. But here’s the thing, we can’t not live with them. If we as a society, destroy or segregate groups of a defining nature, don’t we become exactly that which we claim to prevent? And once this type of action starts, can we be sure it will stop there? Who will be the judge, how will they enforce it and for whom?

Anyway, I understand the tale and it’s the bartender’s right to do so.

Plenty of neighbours to eat. Just saying…

Most people do stop doing that as well. However, a tiny bit of resentment from being disallowed also takes root. More so when they believe it’s unjust. And if they encounter more and more of “can’t do this, can’t do that”, that resentment grows into something ugly. That ugliness doesn’t care if it’s right or wrong, it only sees oppression and develops into hatred. Which eventually turns into violence.

It ain’t right, but it’s how we’re built. We usually see in 1st person and can’t fathom what it’s like to be on the other side.

People just don’t understand. Because society prohibits exhibitions of hatred, those are most likely to seek out places that do allow it. The desired “freedom” aspect of society-free judgement is why you encounter them more often in these type of forums. And when you got there to “repress” them, it’s seen as the claws of society invading one of the few avenues that allow venting their frustrations.

Think of it like this, everywhere you go there’s rules, rules, rules! You’re stuck doing a job you don’t like to pay bills that keep growing, having to play nice with people you barely get along with 5 to 7 days a week and only an online forum to let you vent off your stress. But then some bozo shows up and yells “no, you can’t do that!”. Wouldn’t that just make you angry?

This isn’t about the correct thing to vent about, it’s about being allowed to vent. When you tell someone they’re not allowed to do something because it’s bad, it usually comes off as taking away their sense of agency, and that just makes them more hateful.

If it’s psychological, it might happen sort of. We are quite prone to subconscious suggestions, so someone in a susceptible state of mind could perhaps convince themselves to unintentionally create such a type of stutter.
