That's probably the least concerning word in the English language that could follow "uncontrollable Irish".

They probably caught him when he was napping and said, "Wake up, sheeple!"

This deserves more ⬆️

I fear the advent of Bad Bing

If this were America it'd have to be parody because our politicians would never resign over anything embarrassing.

you forgot to add the "lol" this time, which makes it less likely that people will realize your insult is due to low self-esteem and rage at opinions which differ from yours

I agree, corporations and the extremely wealthy who live exclusively of the underpaid labor of others should pay their low-level workers significantly more. Excellent observation.

say you don't understand the causes of poverty without saying you don't understand the causes of poverty

seriously I've done work in the projects with indigent families and every single one was doing everything they could to move up in the world for their children

This wasn't amusing, interesting, or useful the last time you posted this exact comment, and yet again, no reader here believes you're laughing as you type.

"lol" and laughing-while-crying emojis are universally used to project happiness and confidence when the exact opposite is true. You can't stop yourself from doing it because the main reason you engage in conversation is not to learn anything, but to convince yourself of your own superiority--which indicates low self-esteem as well as a set of beliefs that have been formed solely from sources that never challenge your viewpoint.

once again: pretending to laugh is a big mistake here, especially when the rest of your comment fails to provide anything meaningful to the discussion--and in this case, doesn't even make sense as the burn that you seem to think you're delivering

"Ah, but you can still afford one, though very unlikely to be nutritious, meal per day! Checkmate, socialism!"

"lol"

I don't believe you. Starting every message with "lol" suggests you're trying to convince yourself you're "winning" a discussion by projecting false confidence, even though you have provided no reliable sources, offered no cogent arguments, and in general have contributed nothing of value to the argument. This is remarkably common behavior for writers who think they sound smarter by tacking on a transparently fake "lol" or laughing-while-crying emoji. It really makes you look weak-minded so it'd be to your benefit to drop it.

It'd be even better if you self-censored and waited until you had something meaningful to contribute before replying.

(no need to thank me, just doing Thorax's work)

It's not bad, but it still kinda sounds like a high school C-average student vomiting up Wikipedia facts without understanding context or bothering to identify primary sources. It doesn't seem to discriminate well between fact and opinion.

no we are not

Most of the people who say that with very high frequency also use "gay" as an insult and even graphically describe male-male sex while doing so, but I'm sure there isn't some weird reason related to human psychology and repressed feelings or anything

I can't even imagine being stuck in Turkey for that many minutes

No, that is not a theory. That is an insulting hypothesis with poor support.

I want "proptomist" to be the new go-to insult

"Can you score me some of the orange?"

when Tom Hanks recently said he's only made about four good movies I'm sure that one made the cut

Once again, I never said anything of the kind. Warren Buffett, for one, earned his wealth by working hard and being a financial genius, though even he admits it was only possible because he had access to privileges most people didn't.

Try listening instead of imagining a fictional opponent you can "win" against. People aren't the stereotypes you make us out to be.

Follow-up article: "Apparently Cats Always Could Have Helped but Chose to Watch in Knowing Silence"

All of these things are manifestly true, yes.

I miss the days when people could not wall themselves off from reality (and I don't mean trans people, I mean the mainstream medical establishments).

Wait, you read the articles here?

I don't think you know what arguing in bad faith is, you just don't agree with the facts I'm laying down. Elon made a fortune with PayPal stock but they kicked him off the board for gross incompetence. He didn't invent anything; he bought Tesla. He routinely makes the worst business decisions imaginable hence being forced to buy Twitter for a highly overvalued price, as does Zuckerberg, who I must assume you also worship. Neither of them would get away with it if not for the mythology pushed by people like yourself. It's seriously embarrassing.
