Worst of Social Justice

More paid your taxes then religion.

Ironbite-and that African emperor was kinda sorta raised in Rome so...does he really count?

He still wasn't white. As far as these people are concerned, white is white and POC is POC no matter where you come from.

And they were kinda serious about the religion angle, but it wasn't a "BURN THE WITCH" thing. It was more comparable to a religious community's disapproval of someone who doesn't go to church. The problem they had with Christians was a mix of propaganda about their supposedly crazy and violent rituals and the fact that they were outright defiant, rather than simply practicing at home and making token tips to the pantheon in public.

Also, Jewish scholars invented hypertext, so any time you click on a link, you're appropriating Jewish culture.

No shit. There's a totally cool story behind that I'm sure.

It's by the referencing in the Talmud. Read Umberto Eco's "Travels in hyperreality". Actually just read as much of his stuff as you can get your hands on, one of the greatest living authors.

The patriarchy told me my opinion is invalid unless it’s “logical" (as defined by the patriarchy).

Apparently logic is a tool of patriarchy.

Having seen what a number of misogynistic fuckwads call 'logic', I can't help but suspect I'd agree with this person, in context.

Without context, it hard to say whether or not that one is bad. Because like Sigma said, I've seen MRAs jumps through logical hoops to defend their shitty beliefs.

[Thejebusfire]

Unfortunately there was no context. So I can't tell if they're talking about MRA "logic" or not.
Perhaps that wasn't the best quote to use.

Although I did recently stumble upon a post about how the only people who look at nutrition labels at restaurants are people with eating disorders.

Well I look at nutrition labels and I'm pretty sure I have an eating disorder (I eat emotionally and I'm probably addicted to food as a whole)

[gyeonghwa]

Some people want to look at it just to know. Some people look at it because they have a specific work out regiment. Some people look at it because they are suffering from illness that resulted from not eating and thus they'd like to know if they've gotten enough calories for the day. And some people like me do all three. I'm not sure what's inherently wrong with looking at a nutrition label. 

[Witchyjoshy]

I guess the idea (and therefore misconception) is that people who don't have eating disorders generally don't have to worry about their health.

I was just pointing out I wasn't the best person to try to prove that wrong....

[Askold]

My wife checks all the labels on food because she is determined to buy healthy food that suits her diet.

[chitoryu12]

I mostly look out of curiosity. Though when I did HHN the first time, I calculated my caloric intake to determine just how much more food I was consuming to keep myself energized through the work night.

[Thejebusfire]

I like to look at them simply because I like to know what I'm eating.

[chitoryu12]

I like to look at them simply because I like to know what I'm eating.

I don't have to worry about that because I'm basically immune to food problems. You can feed me virtually anything and I doubt I'll suffer anything unusual.

I look at them for the pretty numbers.
