Because the conservative party in the UK, much like the republican party in the US, knows that because of shifting demographics and because it has no real plan to address real problems they know they wont be able deny the existance of any longer, is about to start losing election after election. Instead of coming with actual plans and attempting to do anything with their power other than looting your pockets, they've decided to resort to the most basic and fascistic scapegoating by pandering to our tribalistic instincts. They just point to another group and blame them for all the problems they had a hand in creating.

"It's not our fault, it's those dirty _____!"

-liberals
-blacks
-immigrants
-gays
-jews
-trans people
-atheists
-muslims
-indians
-women

(Pick one, or create your own scapegoat)

It'll be a blowout as long as you motherfuckers show up to vote against him and any other republicans on your ticket

I mean I understand the anger. I think every atheist deals with it at some point. But you gotta move on and let that shit go. I'm getting old now and it's just tiresome. I'm not interested in tribal BS. I'm interested in chatting with folks who see the world through the same lens I do without that shitty sense of superiority so many atheists seem to have.

How is this sad, exactly?

I've never liked r/atheism because it just felt like it was mostly populated by teenaged edgelords that treated atheism like a subculture they were into at the moment. Pizza-cutter atheists, all edge and no point.
Everyone else was butthurt and chronically angry. I'd like to see more activism, more community building, more maturity. Less butthurt.

Not sure about an exact part number, but that's an IDC connector. Here's a half-assed search result o hopefully get you started. Finding exactly what you need is probably going to be annoying. Good luck.

If he thought the building was unimportant enough that writing his dumbass name on it was nbd, what the fuck was doing wasting his time there in the first place? Why did he think all the other tourists were there?

I bought one of these pizzas. I wanted to try some place I hadn't before. It might as well have been "pizza" from a poorly funded school lunch. It was bad enough that I got curious about "CEC Entertainment" that was on the fine print of the box. Motherfuckers got me...

I didnt say it was racist. I said it could come off (i.e. perceived) as racist. Mainly due to cracks stereotypical association with poor African Americans. But I think you knew that.

If you guys want this to take off in the US (and probably Canada too) you gotta rethink the name. If it doesn't come off as vaguely racist it will come off as edgy for edgy's sake. Low-brow and amateurish. Otherwise, it looks cool. Best of luck to you.
