I think I’ll start my own social media platform. My rule: Adolf Hitler isn’t allowed on it. You may think it’s unfair to single out one person like that, but I think I have a good reason. Because of the genocide.

This caused a lot more questions than I thought. People were asking if my just banning Hitler meant I’m okay with all the others who have committed genocide, and the answer is no. I guess I’m just not familiar with all the people throughout history who have committed genocide.
So I’m updating the policy to the social media platform I’m theoretically creating: Anyone who committed genocide will be banned. I hope this is a clear rule that people understand.

Okay, the rule of no one who committed genocide being allowed on my social media platform was not as clear as I hoped. I continue to get a lot of questions about it.
I thought there was a clear cut definition of genocide, but many people dispute what is and isn’t technically genocide. Also, you know inevitably some person is going to say “Sure, I killed a lot of people, but it had nothing to do with ethnicity.” How can I disprove that?
I could ban everyone who committed murder, but that’s quite a blanket ban and I’m not sure I could be a successful site with a ban that broad. Have you heard of a social media platform that bans all murderers? I certainly can’t think of one.
I’ll have to think further on this and see what rules I can come up with that aren’t far too broad but can be objectively enforced.

I’ve reached a conclusion about my social media platform. I’ll either need to:
A) Ban people by rules that are somewhat subjective and I will get them wrong at times
B) Allow Adolf Hitler on my site
I don’t like either of these options.
I’ve decided to take the cowards way out and not make a social media platform. Sorry. I never said I wasn’t a coward. If I was asked to storm the beaches at Normandy, I would have said, “Can’t. I don’t like sand.”

I don’t think I get enough credit for my remarckably close spelling.

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention. Good for you. Getting outraged and paying attention are both stupid.

You’re going to miss Trump when we once again have a president where every tweet goes through a committee.

Maybe–just maybe–the people doing Handmaid cosplay and warning Trump won’t peacefully leave office are being a little hysterical.

Remember that movie Shaft starring Samuel L. Jackson?

I follow politics far more than the average person (not a brag), and I honestly have never heard of a number of the people in the first Democratic presidential debate.

I’ve heard they’ve rented out a stadium for the Democratic presidential debate but they’re not sure where the audience will sit.

Weirdly, my 6yo son having a talking Black Panther toothbrush that urges him to brush for the good of Wakanda feels like culture appropriation.

Maybe there’s a lot about economics I don’t understand, but didn’t Rambo shoot all the socialists back in the 80s?

I like the smaller, handheld versions of people. They take a lot of maintenance, but they’re worth it.

MY BRAIN: “Hatler!”
ME: “Huh?”
MY BRAIN: “It’s like Hitler, but with a hat.”
ME: “Wha… What am I supposed to do with that?”
MY BRAIN: “Hatler!!!”

“Is he better or worse than regular Hitler?”
“Undetermined!”

Just beat July on Pandemic Legacy Season 1. I’m really curious what’s in that box you only open if you lose four games in a row. Maybe it’s a 20% off coupon for Candyland.

It’s really a pretty bad idea to look to either the government or corporations to enforce morality.

Watching Captain Marvel. Brie Larson did her best to make it sound tedious, but I hear it’s a solid mid-grade Marvel movie, so I assume I’ll enjoy it.

My wrist started hurting and I don’t remember injuring it and now my back’s hurting and the only explanation I can come up with is I’m now 40.

Watching the last half of Captain Marvel. I hope her friend dies to teach the daughter a lesson for encouraging her mother to do something dangerous.

I get why people don’t like Brie Larson in this. Her delivery makes me think of Data from ST:TNG if he were constantly making humorous quips. At times it almost feels like she’s never acted before.

Captain Marvel proved to me that a CGI rendering of a woman is just as capable as a CGI rendering of a man.

Yeah, I get the problem of her being overpower now so they have to come up with convoluted reasons she can’t be around to just solve every problem. Does she have a weakness like Superman, though? Maybe being told she’d be prettier if she smiled more.

Anyway, all caught up finally for Endgame whenever that’s available on video. Then I think I’m done with Marvel movies. Except for the next Spider-Man movie; that looks fun.

The penalty for flag burning is smoke inhalation.

You want your kids to be smart and successful, but I wonder if we place too much emphasis on that. Now that we have Winchester and I don’t know what he’ll be capable of, it’s made me realize how hollow some of things we take pride in can be.
I mean, if my kids end up wildly successful at whatever careers they choose, but they aren’t kind people, I would not be happy. And it makes me think am I emphasizing that enough? Am I being that example to them?
The example I want my kids to follow—the example I wish I could be to them—is that of Jesus. Sacrifice and concern for others. All the other stuff is nice, but not as important.
This is all just to say I don’t know what Winchester will be capable of with his Down syndrome, but I know he can still be a better man than me. And it will be my goal as a father to help lead him there, just as it will be with my other children.
Anyway, happy Fathers’ Day. It’s not a responsibility to take lightly.

Shooting a flag with a gun is not a protected form of speech unless it’s a California flag and you’re in Texas.

The lesson with the SJW religion is never apologize. There is no point, since they have no sacrament of forgiveness.

Everyone is so hateful, and what’s ironic is so many claim they’re fighting against hate. Like start with the man in the mirror, dude.
Not hating isn’t easy, though. You want to just say other people are bad and you’re righteous to scream at them. “Love your enemies” is still a radical statement.
We’re a country of 400 millions weirdos and we ain’t getting rid of anybody. Hating each other just makes things more difficult.

I never used the n-word and can’t understand using it. When I saw Pulp Fiction as a teenager, during that scene of Quentin Tarantino berating Vince and Jules I was thinking, “Hey, there’s a nicer way of phrasing all that.”

Apparently we were always using the term “concentration camps” for lots of things that didn’t have anything to do with the Nazis and I just missed that my first 40 years.
Isn’t it easier to just admit AOC is a dummy instead of constantly twisting yourself into a pretzel for her?

The left seem very confused today. I’ve seen
A) Concentration camps aren’t that bad and don’t just mean Nazis
B) Auschwitz wasn’t a concentration camp
C) The detention centers started under Obama are the first step to the next holocaust

Twitter should be nothing but AOC and Trump saying idiotic things and pundits explaining why what they said isn’t idiotic.

“We have concentrations camps at the border. This dehumanization is exactly how things started with Nazi Germany. We’re on the path to another holocaust. Anyway, who’s feeling like sushi tonight?”
