Are the freak-outs listed in the order that they more or less appeared in the thread? Not seeing the right pundits pearlclutching over James O’Keefe getting kicked out of Project Veritas.
No, they are listed in year of initiation/peak. Some are recurring (at bottom), and many have been ongoing my entire life.
A new one (I did a search in this thread - nada) from the Stupid Republicans rabbit hole. Tap water turns men gay.
When you replace the people who normally would staff any kind of academic-oversight board with, you know, fascist-friendly folks who are eager to knuckle under to a would-be dictator, you get…perhaps not the ultimate in intellectual capacity.
Also: people high in hatefulness fueled by their massive insecurities, of course.
I wager 1,000 quatloos that Ron Peri is a closeted self-hating gay who desperately wants to belieive tap water did this to him. Because he really couldn’t handle the idea that his gayness is innate.
No bet…!
Let’s add Bud Light beer to the list. Seems they partnered with a trans woman and produced some rainbow cans. Can’t have that - boycott say the Reichwing conservatives!!!
Note that I’d rather go thirsty than drink Bud Light but not because of partnerships - tastes like recycled urine.
Well, I don’t drink Yuengling anymore for political reasons…if I have to drink beer in future I’ll endeavor to remember Budweiser.
What is the issue with Yuengling?
I don’t drink enough beer to matter to anyone anyway.
I was under the impression that Yuengling belongs to AB Inbev. I just checked and I was wrong; that’s not true. Yuengling is still family owned.
But ABInbev is a giant evil conglomerate behind everything from Budweiser to half the macro-micros in the USA and over half the brands in Europe. I don’t know whether they love Trump specifically, but there’s lots to notlike about the rest of their beliefs. The list of which beers not to buy is long:
how ca we forget MGT freaking out over alleged legal “public urination” in DC?
Working on the list, adding links to the controversies. Am taking a few of them out, including:
| Number | Item | Year (appx) |
|---|---|---|
| x | Border Security | 2000 |
| x | Shoe inspections on airplanes | 2002 |
| x | Patriot Act | 2004 |
| x | Michelle Bachman | 2009 |
… as I’m not too sure the controversy is easily right/left (Shoe inspection) or it’s too vague (Border security, Michelle Bachman), or the fact that there really wasn’t much of a freakout at all (Patriot Act).
I’m up to #102, it’s taking longer than I thought!
Your completion will be the reward for your labors. Truely righteous work. Monetary renumereration beyond SDMD* coinage would be an insult.
- eerily similar to Trump bucks.
Straight Dope Message Doard?
Dartboard. Sucks when your acronyms are tpyos.
Completion? What makes you think the freakouts will end?
The “Mario Bros. Movie” used to be a freakout because of Rainbow Road and Princess Peach being a real character. But you can take it off the board because they’ve decided it’s “anti-woke.” Apparently casting two white guys as Mario Mario and Luigi Mario is fighting Big Woke or something.
Saw this yesterday, seems like it belongs in this thread:
Naturally, the board is acting weird, here’s the direct link to the video.
Just found a list with no fewer than twenty-three issues which have been called “Obama’s Katrina”:
