https://www.huffpost.com/entry/student-suspended-for-pop-tart-gun_n_2903500 Article is about a student that got suspended from school for shaping his pop tart into a gun. That's stupid on its own but it's what my state did afterward that's even dumber.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/scott-pop-tart_n_5518167 Florida actually passed a 'pop tart' gun bill that prevents schools from disciplining kids from playing with simulated weapons (aka pop tart guns). Yup, politicians at their finest. /sarcasm
That law actually sounds good.....it keeps people from stopping kids from playing cops/robbers and just having fun(but yeah, you'd think kids could do that
WITHOUT a law)

https://www.gog.com/game/renowned_explorers_more_to_explore Zara Withdraws T-Shirts After Accusations Online of Anti-Semitism “The design of the T-shirt was only inspired by the sheriff’s stars from the classic Western films, as the claim of the T-shirt says,” the company said in its statement... The shirt has a large six-pointed yellow star over dark horizontal stripes. It was strikingly similar to the appearance of uniforms that Jews were made to wear in concentration camps, which had a similar star and vertical stripes.
Interesting...well at least this one seems like a legitimate concern(the design DOES look a good bit like nazzi prison camp uniforms/symbols), but justified or no you're still in. ;)
Sidenote: A sneaker company had to cancel an entire shoe line because the design on it's bottom resembled a certain group's religious term. What a waste of good(subjective quality) shoes(why not just sell them to other people? :\)
joppo: I am
not in because I've been ninja-gifted recently and don't want to be greedy, but I used to joke with a coworker how he was racist whenever he ate white chocolate or didn't want black olives in his pizza. He of course knew I was kidding, he is married to a black woman after all.
edit:
former co-worker. He works elsewhere for a few years now but we still keep in touch and I hold both him and his wife in high esteem.
This makes me smile(that people joked about sorta-rassist stuff and realized the
best way to get rid of rassism/x-ism is to not let it have any power over people by ignoring it/joking about it). Have a good day, m8.

:rolleyes: Thanks for the interesting read, at any rate.

I'm in for the
Grim Dawn - Crucible DLC.
I find it "
funny"(
not in a good way. i'm not laughing at anyone here, in case anyone's reading this) that this started as a larp/troll by the chans(
to cause people to THINK such a symbol was bad/x-ist) and see if people would "bite" and accept it as such. This only serves to prove my belief that
SOME people(execs/managers in general) are too dumb to be in charge of stuff.
