So it is a racial slur, thanks for the confirmation

Yes, the notoriously racially homogeneous nation of Russia. Clearly it's a race thing, and not a nationality thing. And clearly they're talking about the entire ethnic "russian" population -- not the state itself and its leadership.

Introduce a character that's a teacher so sick of cellphones in their class they bought a jammer off the internet. Make that character the serial killer's first victim.

No, they're in c/vegan

I didn't disagree with that part. Doing what you suggested and using the "vape detectors" aren't mutually exclusive.

Considering they are only harming themselves

Again, we're talking about actual children. You know: people that have yet to mentally develop to the point where they can make fully informed decisions on everything and sometimes have to be "coerced" by reasonable adults into doing so.

Because those are normal people. "Lifestyle" communities on the internet invariably devolve into groupthink cesspits of the most unhinged followers of that lifestyle.

Veganism is the worst. It's like the terminally online crazies can telepathically detect anyone discussing veganism and descend en-mass.

.... good?

Everyone (even kids) have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but children using drugs in school isn't something that falls under that reasonable expectation of privacy.

Huh. My poor, white, Appalachian relatives are split 50/50 between being bigoted shit-heads and some of the most open minded, kind, generous people you'd ever meet. The later are somehow capable of telling hilarious jokes and stories without punching down.

Turns out "being an asshole" isn't a culture.

Stupidity combined "fuck you, I've got mine."

Getting older, with an established career makes spontaneity harder as it is. Add kids to the mix and it's pretty much impossible.

I ... don't want that. I like making last minutes plans, 1-2 week long trips, etc. The most limiting factor for me is dropping off my cat at one of my many friends/family members that can watch it (and I reciprocate with their pets).

If I'm going to date it's going to be with someone with a compatible lifestyle.

Dual income homeowners with healthy retirement funds. The fucked up thing is 1 million dollars isn't that impressive anymore -- you can easily spend that in retirement living a middle class lifestyle in the USA. Particularly when you factor in age related medical expenses and elder care.

It's not like our retirement, healthcare, and elder care systems are catastrophically broken or anything.

Don't use bigoted slurs or marginalized groups as an insult, but absolutely use their other insults against them. In their minds those are the worst things you can call someone, and to hear them used against "their side" drives them wild.

Call their favorite fascist a "degenerate", "freak", or "NPC" -- their reactions are hilarious.
