True socialism has never been tried. That would kill a country instantly instead of slowly weakening it.
Could someone very slowly and carefully explain to me what a “buttered roll” is?
Coconuts grow on deserted islands because that’s the only place anyone would be tempted to eat one.
“So what kind of fruit does this tree have?”
“It’s a… brown hairy ball full of wax.”
“Can… can trees have mental problems?”
So before today, did anyone else know you could put butter on a roll and eat it? I just used rolls as something to chuck at squirrels.
Most action movies are cheering on bad guys getting shot. I guess the more grounded in reality, the more “problematic” that becomes.
Taken was kind of in that mold, and it was very popular. At the cinema, we tend to like the simple, unapologetic solution to evil.
Is a poem written on a statue binding law? Before you answer, know that the statue is very very big.
He’s a father who after an unspeakable tragedy no longer cares if SJWs come after him en masse. It’s Bruce Willis in Problematic Wish.
“You can’t just gleefully gun down thugs without being contemplative about the underlying socioeconomic concerns!”
“Try and stop me.”
Considering the record, if you still support Communism over Capitalism, you absolutely, positively do not care about famine or the poor.
With the record of Capitalism versus Communism on famine, that’s like comparing a prime rib dinner to a shotgun to the groin.
Difference between Nazi and Communist is when you say how horrible Nazis have been, they don’t say, “Well, real Nazism has never been tried”
Really, though, who cares about the NYT? When was the last time they influenced anyone who wasn’t already a mindless left-wing partisan?
The difference between a prophet and a scientist is that there are more specific qualifications to being called a prophet.
We’d all be much smarter if journalists were required to replace “scientists say” with “some guys say”.
Then you’d ask, “Who are these guys and why should I believe them?” Questions some people think the term “scientist” answers when it doesn’t.
Guys, come on. Keep quiet on spoilers for the next 40 years while I’m waiting for George R.R. Martin to finish the books.
NYC having best pizza sounds like a dumb urban legend. You can just copy whatever recipes they have and make it the same in any other city.
Same for bagels.
Isn’t limiting the acceptable areas of discussion more anti-science than anything else?
So is Google even going to attempt to refute what the guy said or are they just going to fire him?
Whoever thought promoting diversity and tolerance would so often involve screaming, “Burn the witch!”?
Looking like 2020 will again be an easy choice between a cartoonish, moron buffoon and people who will constantly lie and try to destroy you.
There’s a hotline to call to report any nuclear wars you see.
The North is definitely my least favorite of the Koreas.
I’m all for tolerance as long as it’s for things I approve of.
What struck me about the Google memo was how earnest it was. He honestly thought he was going to foster a discussion.
He thought response would be “Here’s where you’re wrong and where your biases are blinding you.” Instead it was “You hate diversity! Fired!”
He comes off as this poor, naive guy who foolishly believed people who disagreed with you had other settings than “Crush! Kill! Destroy!”
Lesson learned for other Google employees: Stick to quietly seething.
Well, (typing slowly)…a buttered roll is a freshman initiation at the University of Sul Ross. It involves taking 5 gal. buckets of butter and rubbing it all over the soon to be tortured then putting them in barrels and rolling them down a pretty good sized mountain next to the college. Kapeche?
Socialism is more efficient than capitalism.
With capitalism, you have to be constantly on guard for corrupt public-private partnerships creating ties between government officials and cronies that end up handing power to unresponsive functionaries. With socialism, you skip over that long period of decay straight to the part where power is in the hands of unresponsive functionaries.
If that’s not efficient, I don’t know what is.
Looking like 2020 will again be an easy choice between a cartoonish, moron buffoon who lies even more than the other side and people who will constantly lie and try to destroy you.
FTFY
And we’ll see about the “destroy you” part.
“Is a poem written on a statue binding law? Before you answer, know that the statue is very very big.”
The Ten Commandments?
“Difference between Nazi and Communist is when you say how horrible Nazis have been, they don’t say, “Well, real Nazism has never been tried””
Unless you accept what Liberals say about Conservatives.
“NYC having best pizza sounds like a dumb urban legend. You can just copy whatever recipes they have and make it the same in any other city.
Same for bagels.”
At least rats are willing to eat NYC pizza.

What did you expect? “Welcome, thanks Damore”? “Make yourself at home”? “Marry my Transgendered daughter”? You’ve got to remember that these are just simple Liberals. These are people of the Mind. The common clay of the new Groupthink. You know… morons.
Could you repeat that sir?
That sir.
looking at how things worked out, there’s no way I believe this guy got that job in the first place while believing this memo would do anything different from what it did.
He did not survive that long under the mistaken impression that he worked with sane people. He was just ready for a change and chose a public way to do it.
I recall seeing a suggestion somewhere that he’d filed for whistleblower protection before sending out the memo; anyone see any reliable sources corroborating this?
I don’t know about protection but he did consult with a lawyer and filed some other complaint with the EEOC IIRC. After the first complaint is where both Federal and California law offer protections against retaliatory firings. It would have to go to court though.
Good for him.
Gunny Google:
“Well, thank you very much. Hell, I like you. Why don’t you come to my house and meet my sister? {Punches his time card.} You little scumbag! I got your name! I’ve got your number! You will learn by the numbers! I will teach you!”
{To next employee in line}: “Well? What’s your excuse?”
etc.
…comparing a prime rib dinner to a shotgun to the groin.
Do you mean a shotgun blast to the groin or a shotgun, like swung at the groin golf club-style?
