What has he done that qualifies as terrorism?

A metaphor?  Is that a metaphor as seen by Cthulhu or what?

Are you seriously telling me you've never heard of Ratboy Genius?

To which my question is, "What kind of a genius calls himself Ratboy?"

In a word, no.

Oh.  Well Ratboy Genius is an amazing Flash series about the adventures of a yellow rat who is also a genius.  Since I don't want to derail this thread, the post Rayvonous was replying to was of a post taking the second frame from the "This is feminism" meme and replacing it with a bunch of random stills of one of the characters from Ratboy Genius.  It is intended to ridicule that meme by... making fun of it, I guess.  It's an ongoing thing.  My personal favorite is the one where the replaced the "THIS is feminism" image with a picture of a funny green alien.

Aah, that'd explain it.  I've never been one for flash series outside Xiao Xiao.

Stick figure kung-fu animation series.  If you want a GAME like that, you guys REALLY need to pick up One Finger Death Punch.  I'll be streaming it tonight, quite possibly...
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Okay.  Sorry man.







Class privilege is a thing yo.  Also, I never heard anyone claim that privilege was some kind of contest where you score points by being oppressed in as many ways as possible, and in fact have pretty much only seen people argue the exact opposite.
More importantly, privilege just means you don't face discrimination relating to your sex/race/sexuality.
It doesn't mean you don't face things unrelated to those things.

I don't get the joke.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Puttin is trying to assert his manly dominance by invading Ukraine, even though he is really just a jerk with short man's complex.  At least that's my take on it.

That's what I got out of it too.  I think another layer is that the seizure is running much more on pride than brains.

Plus, he looks like a dork, hence my calling him, among other things, Gorshin The House Elf.

He really does.  Then when you get into the fact that virtually every world leader he's ever interacted with is considerably taller than him...
