i was attempting to use your short attention span to change the topic under discussion without you noticing. I appear to have failed.

@New York Observer said:
“Each female citizen of Russia will be able to receive by mail the genetic material of the President, get pregnant from him and have a baby. These mothers will be receiving special allowances from the government.”
The early stages of a project like this...?

The viral video claiming to show a series of men plotting to take advantage of a drunk Los Angeles woman was staged by the clip’s creators, who fed lines to the purported predators, dupes who thought they were appearing in a student film, The Smoking Gun has learned.

They should probably abandon this permanently tainted 'feminist' label, because there are people who consider it to mean 'anti-men'.
(I'm referencing something else, not saying something I believe)

It depends on which group you're talking about. Some people think it means something about men and women being equal (legally, etc). This is a pretty banal sentiment these days. There are some who consider it about abortion and voting Democrat. Then there are the academics and their ilk, often referred to as radical feminists. This group is most definitely anti-men.
There is, of course, overlap and blurring and some people may be more or less in different groups, etc.
I think now that we've reached the point where a woman can sing about blow jobs and still be feminist because she has a giant sign saying so, we can assume that the label itself is pretty meaningless without more context about the user.
-
Yeah, I'm just making fun of anyone who considers "All apples are red." to be a factual statement. And also anyone who thinks that we need to not refer to all apples as apples because it's meaningless.
-

That's because, in certain circles, it does mean that.
Of course changing the word used is like calling the garbage collector a sanitation engineer.

Can a MRA sing about going down on a girl and still be a MRA? Is going down on someone anti-man / anti-woman now?
Jeesh, next time you tell me sex is anti-$gender. And then we'll all die.

Problem with the War Between The Sexes is the same as it's always been. Too much fraternizing with the enemy.

I don't know, how would that tie into alimony?

There is a big schism in feminist circles. You have the "pro-sex" ladies who go so far as to call pornography empowering. Then you have the folks who preach that feminism is a journey to lesbianism, and all heterosexuality is a social construct whereby the patriarchy brain washes women to be heterosexual.
Jeesh, next time you tell me sex is anti-$gender. And then we'll all die.
Yeah, this is pretty much the academic feminist's view of heterosexual sex.
-

now if only radical feminism wasn't spread through memes then natural selection would ensure that the genes for radical feminism died out quickly..... and while we're at it can we change it so that being an unrepentant greedy bastard is also selected against?

Sorry, the best I could do was the Dr Strangelove homage, which is maybe appropriate that we both posted derivatives.

I wasn't ever fighting, but sure. I just came across that picture this morning, and this was the most relevant place to post it today.

that's about 50% of the image memes i post here.
also i wasn't really fighting either, as evidenced by the smiley under my declaration.
-

I cannot rightly comprehend the state of mind that could even say this with a straight face.
I need that Willy Wonka meme, captioned "Tell me about how heterosexuality is a social construct and not biologically based."
-

Time magazine has apologized for a moment of sanity in putting "feminist" on their poll of "words we'd like to go away" and cancelled the poll.
"Feminist" was winning--no, running away with the vote--with almost half the vote total last I looked.

Once again, going for the politically-correct option instead of the popular one.

Apparently, some Indian pharmaceutical firm managed to mix rat poison into anti-biotics:
But they were talking about "sterilisation camps," which is probably at least as much of a WTF:
One boxing cuts off, but the last bit of the section on Wikipedia mentions that the program "continues into the 21st century."

Got a T-Mobile data plan that throttles your data to 2G speeds after a certain amount of data? They exempt speed tests from that throttlling, so you can't find out you've been throttled that way. Link's to a story about the FCC ruling they can't do that, and that they will now have to actually warn you when you're about to cross the threshold.
-
The appropriate response would be to create a speed test with a built-in Web proxy...

oooh! @accalia likes!
...ditch T-mobile.
.... or that works too. ;-)
-
I don't--theoretically--have a problem with them throttling, as long as customers understand what it means when they sign up, because they can choose not to sign up.
But throttling someone except for a speed test is, well, if I were feeling charitable, I'd use the word disingenuous, but I'm not, so I think a more apposite word is "sleazy."
-

i'd use the words: [very bad word] Illegal! I'mma talking to my lawyer now. You can expect legal papers shortly. If i can possibly swing it we'll be meeting in criminal court rather than civil.

Sounds like a violation of network neutrality, but that never works the way plebs and techies expect it to.
-

How is it illegal? Companies fudge benchmarks all the time. It's unethical.
It's also possibly moot because they've been told to stop doing it.

Well, network neutrality isn't a legal requirement at this point in time, so....

The only limit is that I'm only allowed to use my phone as a hotspot for up to 3GB. My wife has the same on her line, and we pay about $100/month.
-
Can anyone explain why it costs extra to use a feature of a device you purchased?
That's like buying a camera and finding out that it can record videos but if you want to play them back or copy them to a computer, you need to pay $50/month for the privilege.
-

Because cellular providers are rip-off artists and scumbags.
-
Can anyone explain why it costs extra to use a feature of a device you purchased?
Because you've bought your phone from the service provider and they like holding things to hostage. If separating device and service were more of a thing in the US, you'd see a lot less of this sort of trick.
I don't tether, but that's because the times when I'd want to, the phone network is dodgy too. (Damn you, physics! Damn you, topography!)

Make a living by convincing people that your painting of a black square is high art.

Is that a Spinal Tap album?

Isn't there an IRC quote about someone putting a random rock under a light at an art gallery, then seeing 5 people take pictures of it?
-

Fun fact: the guy who painted it allegedly "took two years to gather the courage before making his piece public".
Also, this quote:
What I presented was not an empty square, but a feeling of purposelessness. The black square on the white background was the first form of expressing the feeling of purposelessness: square = feeling, white background = nothing beside this feeling.

It has been more than 20 years since I read the book, but I don't think Atticus doubted that a rape occurred.
-
A friend of mine painted a canvas black then painted a black square over it with a different brush. He's real proud because when he sold his house, the buyers asked for that painting to remain as a condition of the sale “that's just as good as selling the painting, right?”

I don't recall ever reading it, but according to the Wikipedia plot synopsis, it becomes clear during the trial that the accuser is lying, and she made advances toward the accused. Whether Atticus knew that before the trial isn't stated in the synopsis, but at that point, at least, doubting that there was a rape becomes quite reasonable.
