@newtboy -- I'm with you, although I do think that offensive words can cause "harm". For some definitions of harm. Some of which I might even personally find valid.

I don't think that giving snowflakes a reality check is a primary function of Universities, as I think you do. Certainly not for all majors. My degree is in Computer Science, sort of engineering-lite, and no courses in my major "exposed me to new and differing ideas and mindsets and taught me how to interact with those holding them". To be fair, I wasn't actively looking for things to take offense to, as I think many SJW types are.

I don't think my University experience "failed" in any way by not forcing those kinds of challenges on me, mostly because those kinds of challenges are a normal part of real life. If someone has managed to avoid such challenges up to the point that they are entering University, they will probably find a way to avoid them at University also. But they can't avoid it forever.

A blatantly lying tyrannical government, travel bans and a wall. I'm starting to think this is another sequel to Escape From New York acted out in real life.

Every single person I have explained this to looks at me like I'm an idiot fabricating how I imagine something works in real life yet don't really get how it works. "Data mining for digital money by solving math problems that create that money out of thin air?"

I don't disagree that his response was more than needed, but I don't expect someone who's been taunted and hit repeatedly (and I saw the shove as WAY more than a friendly Elaine style push, and the second hit looked to be to his neck/chin, not shoulder) to think it through and be restrained, but I do agree a good pimp slap may have sufficed....a call to the cops should be the proper response, but it's clear that wouldn't work for him in a white girl vs black man incident in real life.

All that said, I still say that if you start a physical fight and you lose, badly, that's never your victim's fault, it's yours, and genitalia have nothing to do with it (unless someone gets kicked in the balls). I know <100 lb women that brag about getting high and going to bars intending to fight men, and winning those fights. Assuming gender or size makes someone not dangerous is naive.
Edit: note, his first reaction was to walk away from the taunts, and his first reaction to the first shove/hit was verbal, so decking her was technically his second choice, or third depending on how you look at it. ;-)

If you're serious, and live your real life as you write, then good luck with that whole living at home thing, dude.

One of my best friends was an EMT, a fire fighter, and now a mental health worker... I'm just like, why dude? Why did you burn out the existence of all things good in life with your insane career path? No wonder we get black out drunk and high every time we hang out. and I get to hear the tales. I swear, I have actually feinted listening to some of his stories. The insane call to become a real life superhero is actually a void that sucks you in and never lets go. Not that living with the void is that bad if you conquer the demons spawned forth from it.

Wow, are you Dr. Oz in real life? That's an amazing diagnosis from just a few words.

Totally wrong, on all counts, but so is Dr. Oz most of the time.

It's not confirmation bias (where did you learn those words anyhow? You're not using them right). The list of obstructionist measures taken by this Republican-led congress far surpasses anything that's come before. That's quantifiable. To pretend otherwise is just delusional.

And here I was talking about Trump in a Black Mirror episode... if what you say is true and what they say about Russia being involved in manipulating & hacking the election - then it may be a literal real life Black Mirror episode if Russia hacks the election so that Trump wins.

It seems Tom Hanks is just as charming in real life as you'd imagine he'd be, which is delightful.

Terraria in real life. I like how he's got the technology from is previous videos and uses it to make better stuff.

The only person I know in real life that is voting for Trump is using Windows XP.

Hint: It's my grandma.
