I think he has no respect for any gods whatsoever, and the murder thing is not widely accepted, so maybe 1 and 6.

People lived horrible lives in previous ages and still had lots of kids. Of course the answer to that was plenty of rape.

Actually, lack of reliable contraception was a much bigger contributer to the higher birthrate than rape.

The tech people are smart. Technically smart.

No they're not. They're mostly CEOs. Their main skills are bullshitting, delegating and taking the fall when things go wrong. And they aren't very good at the last one.

Modern is cheerleading as a sport, with competitions, leagues, professional predators, trophies. etc.

Conventional cheerleading is just doing it to cheer on a team.

ICE got paid a 4 year budget upfront, which they are allowed to roll over. So they're not getting paid, they just have a reserve several times the size of their annual budget.

You think this will just be used to silence the people you dislike?

How cute.

Honestly, churches should have always stayed the fuck out of politics or lose their tax exempt status.

Churches should never have had tax exempt status.

Right, so the way these jokes works is this:

An article headline makes a claim about someone, but specifically doesn't mention who they are, because the context makes it obvious.

You respond with a "so (deliberate misinterpretation which also fits the description given)".

For example:

Headline: Movie about First Lady is as vacuous as its subject

Comment: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix.

Pwnd libs: "..."

Zing! Eat that libs. Takedown complete.

Now, what you've failed to understand here is that the headline quite specifically mentions the name of the movie, "Melania", so it doesn't work as a flow. Because no-one in their right mind would think the Michelle Obama documentary is called "Melania". Imagine overhearing this conversation on the bus:

Person 1: I saw that "Melania" movie recently. It is as vacuous as its subject matter!

Person 2: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix?

At best we're assuming that person 2 has misheard, and probably "has dementia" is higher up the list than "has just made a cutting remark".

Anyway, better luck next time.

“[...] I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this,”

Don't cry about it online. You've discovered your employer is a fucking monster (well done, it took you long enough), now quit.

Democrats slowly move things to the left while carefully following the law.

Are you looking at the same country I'm looking at? From the outside it looks like they're a right wing party being dragged gradually rightwards by a far right wing party.

The population of Greenland is nearly 90% Inuit, you wouldn't normally class them as "white".

I wonder how many levels of remove are needed before the police will actually leave you alone.

"I support people who support people who support the Palestine Action hunger strikers' mums"

"I explicitly oppose all actions of Palestine Action, but support every one of their members on a purely personal level"

"I support Palestine Action if the police officer who arrests me is a wanker, otherwise I don't"

"Sometimes I support Palestine Action, but only when there are no people under the age of 80 within 50 metres of me"

As well as discussing how the Greens won't be able to deliver on their promises, he also talks about why Labour are going to raise tax, despite promising not to, and how great ID cards are going to be, despite the fact that ID cards were not on the manifesto.
