So not that hot then :)

That it true.

But I have noticed that finding porn elsewhere on the web is not actually that difficult. You just turn a corner and there it is.

Whenever I see the phrase (on tumblr, on reddit, on the web in general), it is generally being used by liberals to highlight something that we think conservatives would wildly disapprove of and liberals would applaud.

I've posted some images lower down (or higher up depending how you sort the thread I guess) about it, and don't want to post them again, but they give you the general idea. Mostly -- when I see it -- the phrase is used by liberals to mock conservatives about their views about how open and free the liberals think the world will be, and how truly appalling that will be and how sad and terrible a place it will become.

So in this instance (and now that I am explaining this you get getting way more of a look into my head than I ever thought anyone would) my implication is that conservatives have set up a situation where if Harris wins, the term "First Female President of the USA" will refer to a black lady by default.

This generally isn't the case in most western countries. (Sad, but true). When a "first female" something happens (Prime Minister, Leader of The House of Commons, Director of The Met Orchestra, head of a union, head of the space program, head of anything -- the first woman in any of these posts is generally white. This is true in the UK, and it is almost certainly true in America. (Unless the post is "head of an organisation specifically aimed at black people" then there's usually an exception)

This is why when most "First woman" to hold a role (Prime Minister, Head of The Met, Lead Conductor of The Met etc) their race isn't mentioned at all because no one thinks twice about it.

But if Harris becomes the First Female President, then the Second Female President (if she is white) would have to be noted as "The First Female White President" or just "The Second Female President"

It is just something that some people find interesting, and kind of funny.

It is also something that a lot of people wouldn't think about, because the missing word in "First Female" would never occur to them.

Ditto.

I am also from Europe (the UK specifically) and whether someone is going to be the best person in the whole history of humanity or (for want of a better phrase) the most idle, useless wastrel known to humankind I still believe they deserve the basic support of the welfare system, and shouldn't be left to starve to death on the streets. Because what does it say about a society that does that to someone?

You don't help someone for a reward, or for what you will get out of them, you help them because they are a human being who needs help.

And if you need a better reason (because clearly some people do) you help them because if you were in that situation you hope someone would help you.

THIRD BASE!!!!!

(sorry)

Now that you mention it that may have been a concern :)

No, I think shaming rich people for exploiting the poor is behaving like decent human being. I think if more people did that society would be a much better place.

In his defence -- look at society.

As a fun thought experiment -- to get £1bn someone would have to give you £1 per second EVERY SECOND for 32 years.

No one needs that much money. And anyone who says they do, or anyone who defends someone who does, really needs to adjust their point of view.

(cue joke)

When I was younger everyone kept asking me "Have you found Jesus?"

When I was on the street, when I was walking through shopping centres, when I was in the Student Union.

"Have you found Jesus?"

Eventually I got sick of it, and one day I snapped.

Someone asked me "Have you found Jesus?" and I turned to them I said "You've lost him? Again? What is it with you people losing Jesus? You know what you should do? You should do what they did in the olden days and nail him to a cross -- that way you'll always know where he is!!"

Which turned out to be the wrong thing to say to the Arch Bishop, but hey -- you live and learn.

Two films that have quite a lot in common

Little kid get abandoned by his family.

An adult gets set on fire at one point.

Another adult suffers a lot of pain due to a kid.

There's a creepy old guy that you don't know whether they are good or evil until the end.
