    Nope, not discussing shit with Nazis. I just know of people even where I’m from (N. Ireland) who are mentally unwell and will walk around yelling crazy shit that, coming from anyone else, would result in instantaneous violence. But they’re known to be crazy, so they get a pass. Not just Nazis, but imagine if someone is wandering through an IRA stronghold yelling “fuck the pope!”. I don’t assume that person to be playing with a full deck, and anyone who beats him up would be looked down upon. If I see 4 dudes doing the same thing together, then it’s different. There’s much less chance of it being crazy Jim off his meds again in that case. Sometimes the crazy person just says the worst shit they can think of, and Nazism is like the express route to the top of Mount Cunt, so it’s easy even for a nut to rattle off some heinously-offensive diatribe in that vein.

    All I’m saying - and I’m not suggesting everyone do this, just explaining where I’m coming from - is that I wanna know before I punch someone if they’re genuinely evil or if they have a pre-existing head injury that coincided with their psychotic interest in WWII. I’m not saying we don’t punch Nazis, just that we should be careful to target genuine Nazis and not unmedicated schizophrenics. And I don’t know anything about the guy in the gif in the OP, maybe he was with a large contingent of scum and he has a political science degree, in which case he got what he deserved. But if he was alone, and was riding the subway to get into town wearing a Nazi armband, and trying to get people to react to him, I’m 50/50 on whether or not he’s the real McCoy looking to martyr his chin for the cause or if he’s someone the mental health services have failed.

    TL;DR: Punch Nazis, but separate the Nazis from the Nazi cosplaying schizophrenics.

    A lone dude like this wandering around antagonising people would presumably have some sort of psychiatric problems, so I wouldn’t immediately KO him in the street, and would need to ask him a few questions first in order to gauge how tethered he is to reality. But if I see a clump of neo-Natals together, then we can skip right to the violence.

    I’m currently pissing blood on the regular and I have free healthcare, so I think this is more of a “dumb dude” thing than an “American with an overdraft” thing.

    I will go to the doc eventually, but I need more. I can’t be turning up there with one thing to report. I need stabbing pains, memory loss, night terrors and maybe some jaundice before I pick up the phone.

    I know I can’t die early, because I’m not getting off that easy. So I’m safe for the time being 👍🙃

    I love that Linux exists, but I really don’t appreciate the bullshit PR speak about how regular users can switch from Windows with little-to-no friction. The second something doesn’t work as expected, even a minor thing, they’ll be at a complete loss about how to even investigate the issue, let alone correct it. Windows competency doesn’t transfer to Linux for even the most basic under-the-hood stuff. The less honest you are about that, the fewer people will try Linux a second time, and the more people will write off the entire endeavour as being the domain of computer experts/enthusiasts.

    I’ve heard this debunk a lot over the years, and I don’t disbelieve it, but is it not the case that one or two animals (wolves or otherwise) in a group will be the “bosses” or something close to being dominant over the others? Is all of that internal power struggling we see in groups/families of animals not really what it seems? Or is the “alpha” stuff different from that? Or does it only apply to wolves, and “alphas” do exist in other animal species?

    Yours, confused and uneducated,

    We grew up watching those dudes get butchered in increasingly-grotesque ways by a diverse conglomeration of psychotic murderers and animals, both natural and supernatural.

    I’m good with my plain black t-shirt that’s long enough to serve as a dress because I’m fat and need uberlength shirts to make it over the curvature of my Moo Deng pregnancy and still have enough fabric left over to not leave me looking like I’m wearing a cummerbund made from pale hairy human skin.

    Fat guy dress > being split vertically, starting at the willy, by an industrial saw because I unknowingly spent a summer afternoon in a swimming hole that once hosted a cruel gang of teenagers who pretended to befriend a lonely man with a deformity and subsequently caused him to drown in it by shoving him off the rocks into the water even though they knew he couldn’t swim.
