Friday Funnies: College Safe Spaces

Comments

[Fist of Etiquette]

I like it. And not just because it appears Lena Dunham is keeping her clothes on.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Way to fat-shame college kids.

[Swiss Servator]

*polite applause, er...uptwinkles*

[pronomian]

What's brilliant about that cartoon is you can't tell if it's a woman or man, straight, dyke or trans gender. It crosses most stereo types. (I did use the word dyke so there would be someone out there offended.)

[AlmightyJB]

Dam you!

[B. Woodrow Chippenhaus]

Excellent.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

I might call Mr. McKee an othering shitlord, but that would invade his safe space.

[straffinrun]

Doesn't look like Trump at all.

[Will4Freedom]

Are you sure the corners of that book are safe? They look pretty sharp to me. And there's the danger of paper cuts.

MICRO-AGGRESSION!

[Tejicano]

Maybe this is just a "get off my lawn" moment but I don't see how any male who needs a safe space can claim to have a functional pair hanging.

[WTF]

You can bet these guys have a functioning pair. (Warty porn)

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Too many steroids has been known to cause your pair to malfunction.

[Lord Humungus]

Warty laughs at these puny mortals.

[Swiss Servator]

No, no! They can still be useful, the ten of them, together, can rerack his plates.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Why does somewone who considers him or herself (or xer?) male have to have a functional pair?

You are like Nikki bad. Report to the UofM campus for re-education and indoctrination.

[cavalier973]

Report to the Mizzou campus so that you can be yelled at then forcibly removed from campus.

[Tejicano]

My Drill Instructors pretty much yelled at me (well, all of us) throughout all of Boot Camp. I would be highly amused if any one of these Darwinion rejects could come within a grid square of what I heard back then.

[Lord Humungus]

... now with more interracial porn

[Will4Freedom]

You must be speaking in general, and not specifically about that cartoon.

It's obvious, even without MOR LABELS, that the person sitting with the book is neither male nor female. In fact, "it" is too distraught to decide what gender it will identify with today.

[Will4Freedom]

I'm sorry. This comment was meant to be a "reply to this" for Tejicano' post about having a pair.

[Notorious UGCC]

You know who else didn't have a full pair?

[Notorious UGCC]

And had his own Safe Space?

[Notorious UGCC]

And was uncomfortable with dissent?

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

Lance Armstrong?

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

John Kruk?

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

My brother Jimmy after they removed that tumor?

[Notorious UGCC]

Oh, that got serious pretty quickly. I'm sorry to hear it.

[Zeb]

Well, some people actually do have PTSD and might benefit from a safe space while they are figuring out how to deal with their conditions. I don't think having functioning testicles plays much of a role there.

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

I don't get it.

Awful. Therefore, perfect.

Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids.

*SLAP!*

[WTF]

*SLAP!*

[Rich]

*SLAP!*

[invisible furry hand]

*slap!*

[Swiss Servator]

*sssssssssssssslap*

Threw in some scary Australian snake sound.

[Will4Freedom]

Hey.... wait a second.... I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

[AdamJ]

We are ready for the sequel to PCU. Piven and Spade look basically the same. And Favreau is fat again.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

There would be a lot less real hair in that movie.

[Hamster of Doom]

You think any of the parents involved feel the slightest sense of shame that their grown children are using a temper tantrum to make the national news cycle?

That's it! If we bought candy and shipped it to Mizzou, they'll shut up. Quick, who has Amazon Prime? This. Is. Important.

[Notorious UGCC]

Why would Candy want to be shipped to a place filled with wussy men?

Oh, wait...

[Lord Humungus]

So funny I forgot to laugh /PeeWee Herman voice

[invisible furry hand]

Stay out of my #safespace

Don't worry, sarc will. John, on the other hand...

[Granny Weatherwax]

The alt text is all kinds of awesome, well done!

[Will4Freedom]

Thanks for pointing that out. Well done indeed.

[Charles Easterly]

Seconded.

[Swiss Servator]

Thirded!

[bacon-magic]

4thed and Fiffed

[Will4Freedom]

There's an Army or Marine recruiter just dying to show these kids the real meaning of "Safe Space".

[Swiss Servator]

The only safe space I ever wanted was a bunker when some jackass started mortaring the FOB.

[Private Chipperbot]

Alt Text Hall of Fame.

[Loki]

Only problem with the Alt-Text is that my mouse is black, and therefore not privileged. The implicit assumption that all mice are white is extremely othering to mice of color (MOC's). This is PROBLEMATIC. /sarc

[Will4Freedom]

To be fair, the Alt-Text did not make sense.
First, it did not say WHY the mouse was privileged.
Second, the mouse itself did not enter the Safe Space... only the cursor/pointer on the screen did... which by default on a Windows computer is in fact, white.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Worst. Rave. Ever.

[R C Dean]

Free exercise works only when you don't have a Total State that attempts to micromanage big chunks of your life.

When the only laws are against mala in se (fraud, theft, assault, etc.) under a night watchman state, the free exercise clause will rarely if ever bump up against an exercise of state power. The state won't order you to do things that are against your religion, except in vanishingly rare instances where your religion requires that you violate the rights of others by assaulting, stealing, etc.

But a state that can order you to do pretty much anything is going to order people to do things that are against your religion. And so we have the current kerfuffle, where many laws violate someone's religious observance, so we have to struggle with horseshit like "what's a real religion" and "are you really a believer" and "does this law really violate your religion."

[R C Dean]

Clicked too soon:

So, to answer those questions in order to protect free exercise, we essentially have to "establish" religions that are recognized by the state, evaluate the sincerity of religious belief, and establish, by law, the doctrinal requirements of established religions that cannot be interfered with by the state.

[pronomian]

Trump made the college pay for that wall?

[Notorious UGCC]

I was thinking of Wei Zhongxian, but your idea works too.

[Rich]

Yeah, Hitler was a consistent right-winger.
