Whichever editor let them post "100 thousand" should be spanked one 100 times with the severed hand of whatever asshole wrote it in the first place.

Bertuccio ,

Always has been.

Bertuccio ,

Why is Medium conflating trolls and shills?

People who are paid propagandists are shills, not trolls.

Bertuccio ,

It's censeless.

Bertuccio ,

Are they networked? Mine are somehow connected and the one that beeps doesn't always seem to be the one that detected the issue.

Bertuccio ,

Just Stop Oil targets culturally significant objects to highlight that the viewer's outrage at direct attacks on those objects is greater than the viewer's outrage at the same attacks against those objects by the creators of climate change.

If throwing washable paint on Stonehenge pisses you off, you should be even more angry at big oil for progressively destroying the entire planet. Any call for the arrest and immediate punishment of Just Stop Oil members should also match calls for the immediate punishment of big oil execs.

It's juvenile, but it's pointed.

Bertuccio ,

Even if they did damage anything their message is that anyone getting mad about damaging works of art or heritage sites through direct action should be just as mad about people destroying the actual entire planet indirectly and calling for their immediate imprisonment too.

As annoying as I find them and as much as I want to preserve these things, they're exactly right that paintings and rocks mean fuckall if we ruin our only home.

Bertuccio ,

Using "male" and "female" as nouns is offensive because it dehumanizes the subject and reduces them to their gender.

A "woman" is inherently human -- specifically an adult female human. By calling that person only "a female" you remove their humanity and maturity, leaving only their sex. This is why it's so common for creepy types, and why it's so creepy, because it betrays that only one of those three descriptors is important to them.

"Female as a noun is mostly used in science and medicine, and women don’t want to feel like test subjects."

I was told not to do this in science courses, mostly because it's not correct rather than notions of creepiness. It applied to any adjective but male and female were called out specifically. This was decades before "woke" was a thing.

I think it's not really used in the sciences, it's used by people who want to sound scientific but aren't.

Bertuccio ,

Sorry. I didn't realize I was talking to the man in the article.

Bertuccio ,

Oh it is dehumanizing. You're crazy.

Bertuccio ,

No one owes you the pretense that you're not a kook.

Several people have given you reasonable answers and your responses have ranged from irrational nonsense to TimeCube lunacy.

Having given a reasonable answer and gotten tinfoil craziness in response, no rational person is going to continue interacting with you like you're rational.

Bertuccio ,

Yet you didn't bother to read it...

Bertuccio ,

It's only vague because you can't read.

I've already explained this all ... but you can't read...

Bertuccio ,

You're the source. You post crazy shit. So you're crazy.

Really not hard....

Bertuccio ,

Yep. That's the point. That's the rational way to approach irrational people.

Bertuccio ,

You brought it up, kook...

Bertuccio ,

Just further demonstrating your inability to read.

Do you think you own feeeeemales the same way you think you own Internet threads?

Bertuccio ,

I wonder where high-fructose corn syrup falls.

Bertuccio , (edited )

Blaming the person being lied to instead of the liar is kind of BS.

It's on the company and the FDA which was literally created to stop this kind of nonsense and abandonded its duties decades ago.

Bertuccio ,

I'd be kind of annoyed if it wasn't cat smegma for my cat smegma ice cream.

I think natural flavors have to be related to the name on the product - a small amount natural grape juice in apple juice to modify the flavor would be listed as an artificial ingredient.

I recall that used to be true, but don't have a good way to verify it ever was other than reading the labelling laws, or if it still is, since companies fight a constant battle to degrade the usefulness of food labels.

Bertuccio ,

I wouldn't be surprised if half of Americans earned less than the median.

Bertuccio ,

Shit. I know like 20 people with fists, elbows, and knees. I'm gonna call the cops on them right now.

Bertuccio ,

Guess I should tase or shoot all the people that walk past my no trespassing signs instead of just walking out and asking them to leave.

Shit. I think they all had elbows too!

Bertuccio ,

Yeah. Every week some fan killed a player before they invented tasers and militarized security.

It's actually pretty easy to keep your chill if you don't train yourself to imagine every interaction is life or death.

Shoot any teenagers turning around in your driveway lately?

Bertuccio ,

Congressional bills proposed by ... fascists?

Bertuccio ,

I'd prefer an empty can of beets.

Bertuccio ,

Isn't that kind of the point of Donnie Darko? Comparing it to The Count of Monte Cristo which did that for me, the Count seems like an amazing badass as a kid but just kind of an ass as an adult; he literally says so at the end of the story, but you gloss over it as a kid. Bringing that back to Donnie Darko, he comes to the conclusion the world is better off without him.

Bertuccio ,

No. That third panel is terribly worded.

You meant to say whatever is in your comment starting "yep! Pretty straightforward..." but whatever is in the actual image is meaningless and I even knew what you meant.

Bertuccio ,

"Tolerance is a social contract and those who break the contract do not deserve tolerance. There is no paradox." ?

Bertuccio ,

Top Secretly missed the point

Bertuccio ,

The cost would not increase. That is not how supply and demand works.

It is extremely unlikely this has not been explained to you before.

Bertuccio ,

TBF it only made anyone mad.

Many screeched omigodtheyreturningmahkidsgay.
Many were annoyed at the blatant pretense at support that did zero actual supporting and just hoped to make a buck.
The rest didn't notice or care.

I guess pretend support is still better than no support, but I didn't believe they were genuine or courageous a year ago, so it's not surprising for them to confirm it.

Bertuccio ,

There is a vast resource of nearly all of humanity's collective knowledge that you can tap to learn why a govt doing something doesn't mean it's not capitalism.

Bertuccio ,

"What does error code XYZ mean on my 40 year old limited run old-tech device from a company that stopped existing 39 years ago and never made a manual"

Vs

"Is Earth round"

Ignoring whatever semantic arguments about socialism and communism, it's easier to just point out that statement isn't true.

Employee-owned businesses are socialist - in the actual definition of socialism where capital is owned by the workers. They work fine, maybe even better than capitalist businesses.

Fire departments are socialist - in a slightly different definition where a non-capital resource is owned by a community. They definitely work better than the capitalist versions that used to exist.

The problem with saying anything communist always fails is that they only call it communism when it fails. When it succeeds they just call it something else.

Bertuccio ,

Is that a pun on l'inverse?

Bertuccio ,

Who would want to date someone that uses Sankey diagrams?

Bertuccio ,

I'd rather have PocketNinja.

Seriously it would make my year to read one of those nonsense posts only to scroll up and see who duped me.

Bertuccio ,

AvE is Canadian but they need a similar department too.

Bertuccio ,

There's a black elf. People lost their shit.

Bertuccio ,

More from the same author:

Starvation and malnutrition plummet as crop yields increase. Unfortunately a new industry of storing food must be created to ensure the excess is preserved for times of need.

Free time skyrockets as menial labor is offloaded onto AI and machines. Unfortunately a new self-actualization industry must be created for people to learn intellectual and creative skills they didn't have time or money for.

Higher education rates increase as governments help fund students and enact laws to keep for-profit-education from price gouging. Unfortunately untold new industries are created as unnoticed talent is given the opportunity to cultivate it.

Bertuccio ,

daddy ho

This song is about cheating, not pedophilia.

Daddy is her husband, which is really weird slang, but used to be common.

Bertuccio ,

I didn't bother reading because three paragraphs in it was clear you failed to recognize the fascists were the one committing extreme violence leading to death...

Bertuccio ,

You're a highly ineffective troll...

Bertuccio ,

Key point about trolling. Don't do wall of text screeds...

Bertuccio ,

Now you're getting there.

Next point. Your chief for of trolling can't just be announcing you don't know how to read.

Bertuccio ,

That misunderstanding is a luxory of not knowing how to read.
