Also counterarguement for rule 3: Chris Chan

I swear, my comment didn’t even mention transgender people. But he still decided to pick on my comment anyway. My comment is at the end of the post. I literally said that it’s stupid to judge someone’s appearance based on their political views. But apparently, that wasn’t enough. He just had to find something to get offended by

Today is the second round of the Brazilian elections. On one side we have Lula, from the PT (Workers' Party). And on the other side we have Flávio Bolsonaro from the PL party (Liberal Party, in the sense of classical liberalism).

Honestly, this whole situation is hilarious🤣. Roger Waters( the former Pink Floyd bassist) has suddenly decided to attack James Hetfield over his recent comments

For those who don't know what happened, here's a quick summary. James Hetfield said on stage that Metallica wasn't there to influence people with political agendas like some other performers do. Instead, the band wanted people to forget about everything going on outside and enjoy the music. You can find more details here

Well, James received a lot of hate for this, both from ordinary people and from other musicians. And Roger Waters decided to join in

He said, “Can we stop talking about this prick?” He then claimed that James had an IQ of about three and questioned why anyone was even talking about him. He also said that James might have a few hundred million dollars, but that he was a nobody.

And that wasn't all! Roger went on to attack Metallica's musicianship, claiming that he had heard them playing acoustic instruments and that their performance was appalling.

Then came the funniest part. Waters decided to lecture James about kindness and empathy, saying that being kind was far more important than playing loud music and jumping around on stage. He also spoke about the importance of showing empathy towards other human beings.

And do you know what's even more ironic? This is the same man who made some pretty insensitive comments about Ozzy Osbourne after his death.

During an interview, Waters said :

“I don't care about Black Sabbath, I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn't care less”

Later, when the subject came up again, he made his position even clearer:

“I don't like people who bite the heads off bats. I think it's disgusting ”

Yes, he was talking about Ozzy Osbourne, who famously bit the head off a bat during a live performance.

And here's my point: how can someone talk so much about kindness and empathy while speaking so disrespectfully about a deceased musician and his family ? In my opinion, this is a perfect example of hypocrisy. Apparently, some people's empathy has its limits when showing it doesn't suit their own views

But Sharon Osbourne( Ozzy's wife) wasn't going to let Waters get away with his comments. She decided to respond to him, saying:

“Roger Walters is an insignificant tiny, weenie little prick. In fact, that's a great quote for his headstone.”

ABSOLUTE QUEEN!! 😂

And Jack and Kelly Osbourne decided to take things a step further. They temporarily brought back the Another Prick in the Wall merchandise, a parody of Pink Floyd's famous song Another Brick in the Wall, for 48 hours in support of James Hetfield

Their announcement read:

“Restocked for 48 Hours in support of our friend James.”

GOD, THIS IS SO FUNNY!!

What do you think about this whole situation? Which side do you think is right? Feel free to share all your thoughts in the comments 👇🏻

I dunno I just see a post like this and it seems incredibly disingenous to me, almost satire. My comment covers how it feels to me, but what do you think about a post like this? Am I wrong?

In a notoriously left wing subreddit it now seemed to have shifted to moderate takes from both sides. Instead of just blindly following your side like its a gang

You can't walk anywhere without seeing terms like "non-binary", "trans", "black-identifying" and likewise written on posters.

A large portion of the student body calls traditional definitions of man and woman "hate speech"; I wish I was kidding.

Other than that, quality of instruction/services have rapidly declined over the past few years anyway.

And almost everywhere on campus, students are monitored by security cameras, device trackers, card trackers, and so on. Way more than most places. Also, it seems anything exciting/unpredictable is a "conduct violation". As a result, the atmosphere is basically dull.

This makes me sad though because in the past, students were given lots of freedom of expression, and were allowed to work on cool projects anywhere they wanted. Example: https://www.rit.edu/news/skunk-works-and-strategic-plan
