There ought to be a warning rule for links that take unsuspecting clickers to articles that prominently picture that goat-felching, Trump induced plague, Gorka. :mad:
Some brat demands I guy his shit for him, and his then mother scolds me? I would have said something to “baby momma” too.
I’d like to say something to your editor.
Hang on. Are you saying the toddler and mother were persons of COLOR?
I thought Scylla lived in a gated enclave that keeps the wogs outside the fence.
Possibly Idaho.
No, I meant nothing about color. Morons come in ALL colors.

Thanks for letting us know what kind of “man” you are.
I think you were standing outside the wrong window.
Week-ruining is what I live for.
I’ll have you know that I live in Idaho and see black people around all the time. Like, at least one walking around somewhere at least once a month, maybe every two months.
Admittedly I do live in the capital, so I’m like surrounded by culture.
Excuse me? That is not a lunchbox and I will fight you and several small children to defend that fact. Lunch boxes are boxes and that thing is neither rectangular nor made of a rigid material. You can’t just put food in any damn thing and call it a lunchbox; that’s how communist uprisings happen.
Goddamn liberal giant corporations and their hippie redefining of words…
Even my 5-year-old knows to call something like that a lunch bag.
Making excuses for bad public behavior for a child left uncorrected by an adult, on the grounds of hypothetical food deprivation, is sort of lame but not dumb.
Trying to equate hypothetical hunger with “low blood sugar” is ignorance, which I (perhaps pedantically) attempted to correct.
Going on to suggest that hypoglycemia is the same thing as diabetes does make you a dummy, at least on this subject.
So congratulations.
Is your blood sugar low, you seem cranky.
Going into encyclopedia-level detail about what *might *have been wrong with the lunchbox brat doesn’t make Scylla culpable. It’s like you’re bound and determined to be offended.
Again, I just don’t understand the indignation. You’re taking about a kid who likely is too young to be fully continent and can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality. “Buy me lunchbox” is just his immature synapses firing. So okay,call him a brat but taking anything coming out of his mouth seriously? I have to laugh at that.
Imagining myself in such a situation I’d already be doing poorly just from all the noise; loud and shrill noises give me instant headaches. (And yes, this does make some of my younger relatives painful to be around.) Once the kid shouted directly at me, thus inviting a response, I’d be very much inclined to reveal unmasked irritation in my suggestion that he stop bugging me.
And when the mother inevitably confronted me, my response would probably not be particularly witty, and along the lines that she should please kindly get her kid under control and away from me. Things would presumably degenerate from there, particularly since I’m not really the mike-dropping stride away type.
Fortunately for me, I apparently don’t live in the same sitcom as Scylla and have not been accosted this way. I have seen loud bratty kids demanding things at stores -once just a week or so ago, in fact!- but the kid constrained herself to pestering her parent and I walked away, and all was well. (Okay, possibly not for the parent, but whichever.)
I can’t read the link because it requires me to sign up for stuff, but I assume it describes Scylla using 80 some Belgian civilians as a shield to capture a bridge, or tying Polish civilians to tanks while annihilating Warsaw, or maybe Scylla built some concentration camps around military targets? Because if not, and you are using the term “human shield” as some sort of hyperbolic rhetorical device, it trivializes those historic events, which is fucking repugnant.
I can’t wait for the followup story, in which Our Hero Scylla is minding his own business mowing his lawn, when a deranged liberal woman accosts him and berates him for polluting the environment with his evil lawnmower. Oh the witty repartee and hijinks that will follow! The amusing bon mots, and of course… The Sneer.
It’s going to be a thigh slapper.
The title of the piece I linked to is, “Defenders of a Racist President Use Jews as Human Shields”. It describes an all too common behavior of conservatives these days of accusing their opponents on the left of being anti-semites despite speaking and behaving in anti-semitic ways when it suits their purpose. This is the exact kind of thing Scylla does.
He describes Ilhan Omar as a true blue anti-semite baselessly one day, and a different day he employs a well known anti-semitic canard to attack George Soros for something he had literally nothing to do with.
For the cherry on top, he thought it was a good idea to spread anti-semitic lies and conspiracy theories about George Soros a week after Cesar Sayoc, who believed anti-semitic lies and conspiracy theories about George Soros, tried to murder Soros with a pipe bomb.
This is not a rhetorical device I invented.
Defenders of a Racist President Use Jews as Human Shields
When Non-Jews Wield Anti-Semitism as Political Shield
Jews are being used as human shields in the war of words over anti-Semitism
100% spot on. But antisemitism is one of the only offenses that everyone else, besides Jews, gets to decide if it’s occurring or not.
