@sneedman has been posting a lot of anticircumcision sentiment and this has been creating a lot of sneed. This brings us to the question: how many of you are butthurt because you're circumcised and how many of you just hate sneedman?

yes, women, you should answer too.

My principal handed me a sheet of paper with names on it, saying that they weren't telling me to vote for these people for school board, but...when I vote, I should clock these names folks because they have children at the school. I'm so appalled. I said "absolutely" then proceeded to vote for everyone except them.

My superintendent was sued by the attorney general for sending out names of candidates who are against school vouchers. The case was thrown out.

Lyrics:

The nightmare lies in the mourning

When the birds are bleeding

And you hope the day will come

But you're never gonna live this down

Wish it away with the blame

You could just stop breathing now

You didn't want it enough

You didn't want it enough

And you tap and you cut

And you start with the heavy breathing

You're parallel to the dark

But they're still not leaving

But you try and talk

You'll do anything but you're never gonna keep it down

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now

You know it didn't have to be this way

You know it didn't have to be

But it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Well it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Now you talk to yourself

And you wonder why nothing ever changes

How you're gonna fall so far so fast

Who you gonna blame this on

I don't care anymore in the morning

When the birds start bleeding now

And it's all the same

It's all the same

I was faced to the wall

With the mirror

The mirror crashing down

And you stood so tall

But you fall and you're never gonna get back up

You didn't want it enough

Am I central now, am I central now I was central how

You know it didn't have to be this way

You know it didn't have to be

But it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Well it's the end of the line

So goodbye

No one loves you

Up above you

No one hears you

No one sees you

No one loves you

Up above you

No one hears you

No one sees you

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Well it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force.

NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests.

So why are these counterterror units here? https://t.co/nfDVfueNSz

Seriously just read this comment:

The Boys is such a weirdly horrible show…

…and that's exactly why I can't stop watching it.

The thing that bothers me most about the show though isn't the s*x or hyperviolence, it's the fact that there really are people out there who actually would idolise Homelander, and that's worse than any gore-soaked murder-fest the show will ever depict (and they've shown some seriously twisted stuff already).

Imagine unironically writing that. Other comments include:

Rick And Morty is another good example. Rick Sanchez is not supposed to be a role model, you Joker-loving freakazoids.

watch another cartoon

Butcher and Homelander's characters are horrible in a truly delectable way though, and both are brilliantly inhabited by their actors.

For me that's what takes The Boys from a 7.* to a high 9.

delectable is one of those Redditor words that makes me cringe.

Yesssss! Antony Starr's portrayal of Homelander is streets ahead. June 13th can't come soon enough.

You might think "this is a clearly astroturfed account and this comment will have been downvoted to heck by the astute, intelligent users of Ars Technica". You'd be wrong, it's one of the top comments and the user has had their Ars account for 23 years.

Let's see the most unpopular comment just to balance things out:

super - yawn

The desperate attempt to be different from other series with <whatever others don't dare to do/show> gets boring very quickly. If you don't have a decent story, even extra violence won't help (as 'The Boys' impressively demonstrates - season 3 was already just a collection of confused story fragments pasted together with violence).

Heroes, zombies, detectives with superhuman cognitive abilities, but with social abnormalities, extra violence, time travel stories with maximum arbitrariness, the 1,000th series variation of a once successful film, with ideas that have long since become stale (Star Trek, Star Wars, all superheroe movies & series, ...), ...

How boring! Mental fast food for people who prefer not to deal with anything.

One of the replies to it:

Unless you're in a private group of friends and been given the 'ok' to do so, nobody likes someone who sarcastically shits on things other people like because they're bored, either in public socialization or on social media.

You have to have a functioning, actual specific critique as to why production on the show may have been a waste relative to something else or the critique falls out as being 'that guy', bored and being a shithead for the sake of it.

dramacels in shambles.

@BWC please ping gayporn, this is a true tragedy

I've heard women quote this book like it's the freaking Bible, and be like "my love language is acts of services and gifts..." and I remember thinking "wow that's kind of convenient"

Just looking for new tips. My sleep cycle is fricking wack. It's all over the place. Like does warm milk actually work? I already try asmr, not thinking, heavy blankets, etc. It's like 1am so bored. Ran out of posts to upvote. Pic is Chrono Cross.

Bill Burr is possibly the most truly Woke comedian out there. He understands the modern zeitgeist better than his Chud comedian peers. He uses their language so it completely disarm them to the point that they can’t really say anything in response. pic.twitter.com/TLSyjx4gjd

Last night there was a big boxing match. That on it's own doesn't matter for our purposes. What does matter is that the underdog, a massive drama king, won. Massive amounts of seethe and revisionist history incoming.

As background-- Devin Haney is an undefeated boxer. I remember hearing about him many years ago when he was being touted as kind of the next generation Mayweather. He was fed cans (as usual) but then won some championships. Undefeated, didn't knock many people out, but was considered the current big thing.

Then there's Ryan Garcia, his opponent. He's been popular for a while, initially for his great boxing skills but then for his social media presence. He was also pretty.

However, Ryan Garcia was not a perfect man. He lost recently and got his first blemish on his previously undefeated record. Then much more recently he's gone off the deep end. He posted schizo tweets

Was hyperreligious and quirky and spontaneous at press conferences

And divorced his wife literally a day after she gave birth to his fifth kid.

Needless to say, Garcia was a big underdog.

Fight weekend came. Ryan Garcia missed weight by THREE POUNDS, making everyone think he hadn't taken camp and the weight cut seriously.

He had a good reason for this.

Garcia ended up winning, knocking Haney down several times despite the ref not counting a few of them as true knockdowns.
