I'm a vegetarian but I absolutely hate raw vegetables. I'll happily eat cooked vegetables that are drowned in spices or sauce.

It's disappointing to me when other vegetarians use silly arguments like that. It causes animal rights to be taken less seriously.

Again?  Man did you not grow up in the last great social media implementation that was Livejournal?

Ironbite-or am I just that old?

Oh dear god I remember hearing about stuff that went on LJ.

I don't remember what I heard, but I do remembering hearing about it.

It was one of the reasons I was always hesitant to use it.

Went....on?

As one of the livejournal dinosaurs I can tell you it's still a bastion of nuttery, social justice sad sacks, and stalking. While 9/10 of the user base is normal they're hidden by the wankmemes and freaky brats screaming "trigger!!111!!!" and telling people that trans people are bullied there for they can not be bullies.

So basically tumblr has just become an extension of LJ then.

So you mean to tell me that I can eat just a handful of bread crumbs and salt soaked in olive oil and lemon juice and it'll taste exactly the same as chicken schnitzel? Well gee, why was I not informed of this sooner?

I'm sorry but...salt is a rock.

Ironbite-not a plant.
Shhhhh. Facts are confusing.

I am so glad I was never like this as a vegetarian.

Yeah, because it's not like people put seasonings and dressings on vegetables or anything.

I actually have eaten meat with no seasonings before, just to see what it would taste like. I still enjoyed it.

That's the single most racist thing I've read in quite a long time, although admittedly I haven't been following the Zimmerman trial. Black people (and, implied, anyone who isn't a white straight man) can't make informed value judgements? Seriously? I assume this person is trying to be progressive by not calling an oppressed minority scum, which I guess is nice, but their argument for why is the most anti-social-justice reasoning ever. Denying a group of people the ability to have moral responsibility, for their ethnicity or gender or sexuality, in the name of social justice, is fucked up in more ways than I can count.


And I can count to a lot! I'm pretty good at math
Actually, and I only know this due to so much digging through this shit, they're saying they lack "cultural capital", or in other words, they're not powerful enough. Basically, they're too oppressed to be oppressors.

They are also saying they can't make informed value judgements. Either value judgement means a completely different thing in their jargon, or they are straight-up saying that "[oppressed minority] can't make informed decisions about right and wrong"
I don't really have a reply to that, but the information I'm going to post is related, so I'm quoting. My father works with the mentally disabled, and is now in a management position at his job. They have him taking online college classes (that they pay for) so he will be able to move further up. I was getting food, and overheard it, and so went to check it out. They were teaching about cultural capital (with those actual words, no less), and how privileged people have their thoughts given more weight than unprivileged people. So, yeah.

...sushi is typically eaten wrapped in rice.

You could make the argument for sashimi, though.

Even so, rice doesn't have much of any flavor by itself. The meat is (depending on the specific dish), uncooked and unseasoned.

My first assumption was that he had a split personality of a jedi...
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The dude who claimed to have an entire universe in his head was even better.

Also that chick who claimed to have The Doctor in her head.

Tumblr is livejournal's bastard child. There was a lot of hope in a lot of writing communities that once crossover between the two became large scale the wank would stop. Nope. All that happened was that the old wank got a new audience. And the triggers got weirder. One group I was on eons ago had a woman who claimed to have served in the army and suffered from PTSD as an aftereffect. She had a trigger that she would babble about for days if someone posted something without a warning. It wasn't rape, guro, or anything you would expect would trigger an army vet. It was mpreg. On livejournal she became the butt of a "sex makes babbies" joke. On tumblr she is viewed as a proud feminist of the third wave who is defending our female identity. Even though she's been known to trash women who have children for drinking the patriarchal koolaid.

I've got to ask: If I tell the "mpreg makes me foam and shake like the woman from Jesus Camp" bitch that if a transman were to be raped and become pregnant technically that's mpreg, am I justified or being bitchy?
