  • Sure, but then you’re taking it in small cup form rather than as a larger volume drink. That still makes them two very different things.

    If I want a nice, large margarita, telling me I can have a couple shots of tequila misses the point. Nothing against tequila, but a mixed drink and a shot are different enough that one is not a substitute for another.

    Same with espresso. Americano is much closer in form factor to a latte than straight espresso. And more to my post’s point, most times when people say black coffee they mean drip.






  • Are you a member of a religious group where raping children is a core belief? Yeah, you’re a bigot if you’re making false claims about religion, but what about true claims?

    Yes, we should hold people accountable for their religion if their religion is based around doing shitty things. If someone is literally a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, they are literally supporting a hate group by virtue of being a member. Regardless of whether they are literally holding a “God hates fags” sign in that moment, they’ve given time, money, and support to those who do and are directly culpable for that behavior as long as they remain a member.

    Again, if your religion revolves around kicking puppies, then you are to blame for kicking puppies. If you don’t want to be associated with puppy kicking, don’t literally make it your religion.


  • There’s a difference between judging people on a category they don’t choose vs. a set of beliefs they choose to follow.

    If I tried to claim all brown-eyed people are evil, I’d be bigoted because eye color does not determine who you are as a person. But if I claimed that all members of the Puppy Kickers Club are evil because they literally believe in kicking puppies and require doing so frequently as a requirement for membership, then my claim is valid.








  • What are you talking about? TikTok isn’t the internet, just like Facebook wasn’t and MySpace wasn’t.

    TikTok is like Snapchat. 13 years ago Snapchat was the cool app all the kids were using and making fun of older people for not getting it. 13 years later and it’s still just shitty text messaging, with the only people using it being those who cared a decade ago who got their family and friends to sign up just for them.

    TikTok is just shitty Youtube and in 10 years will be replaced by something else. Plus, what exactly am I out of touch with? My reddit feed is already crammed with crappy TikTok videos. Take something mildly amusing with the volume off that would be moderately amusing with sound. Replace that sound with the most godawful music you can think of. Now repost it 100 times with the image cropped to oblivion and half the screen taken up by an emoji or some random mobile game. Woo yeah, that’s the future of content, let me tell you.



  • In the show, typically something out of the ordinary would happen during the opening scene, and the narrator would foreshadow how that small thing would have major consequences before declaring that the characters had entered The Twilight Zone.

    In this comic, the narrator might say something like, “Meet Mrs. Anderson, a typical American wife who’s never quite sure where she wants to eat. But after a strong craving on a fateful night, she finds her next meal in The Twilight Zone.”

    Anyway, he’s smoking a cigarette, not crack.
