  • I encourage you to pay close attention when they start teaching the concept of comparison in 2nd grade.

    The point was to shine a light on the fallacy that one person’s experience represents the whole. What else were you trying to bring to the conversation except to say, “I think Windows is fine.”

    Comparing Windows to racism would sound more like, “Windows and racism are similar because…”

    I also find it an inaccurate, lazy, played-out “joke” to say, “only people from x would y.” That’s an unthoughtful way to try and reduce people to your own bias and prejudice. I prefer something like, “only an idiot tries to shit on someone else and group together large swaths of humanity because they don’t understand what’s being said but they still want to to feel relevant.”




  • There’s unsubstantiated and nonsensical assumptions in your comment starting with assuming that anyone who doesn’t ingest alcohol does it to avoid exacerbating current health conditions, leading to those that drink moderately being healthier than those who don’t drink. That’s absurd.

    I’ll make an assumption of my own. A significant portion of your identify and social life is in “moderate” drinking and you’re very keen to justify that as “healthy.”

    I get that the heavier bowling ball affects the acceleration of the earth more than the lighter feather, but I don’t see how that means it’s falling faster as the meme is stating. The bowling ball would meet the earth first when dropped separately and from the same height because the earth is (imperceivably) accelerating toward it faster than it does the falling feather, but both the bowling ball and feather are falling at the same rate due to Earth’s gravitational force.

    Or am I missing something?
