Yeah, god forbid that men have hobbies, they should work 25/8!
Plot twist: She runs a go kart track and has to constantly hear their jokes about free refills etc.
Women like go karts too, Todd!
Lets-a GO, Margo!
That’s fine. They just have to pay.
Yeah red flags because James keeps crashing, such a shit driver.
That’s why Cindy is ending up as lonely old hag , no joy what so ever
Normalize people doing things they enjoy.
Educate yourself in what? Men shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy themselves? Happy guys are red flags? What’s the problem?
Men shouldn’t be happy
I mean, I guess the entitlement, but also it’s a twitter shitpost lol
I don’t think he’s actually expecting it to be free, it’s probably a joke.
At the risk of losing brain cells, I’m extremely curious what her reasoning is here.
Is it just cause it’s childish? Is shaming men for liking childish things not enforcing toxic masculinity?
If Cindy is commenting on him liking something she considers childish, then Cindy is indeed a bitch.
But if she’s commenting on his apparent expectation that it be free for men in their twenties as if he’s owed something, that I can kinda see her point.
Would be nice if she made her point in a way in which her meaning could be clearly understood.
He didn’t say that it shouldn’t also be free for other subsets of society.
Sorry the government doesn’t have the funds to subsidize go-kart rides. That money has already been sent to Argentina.
He directly implied it
You heavily assumed it
Reading must be very difficult for you with that level of comprehension.
If he didn’t mean only men, there’s less than no reason to specify men nor an age range.
Please, learn to read. For your own sake.
weakly
Yea, but it’s a safer assumption that plenty of other jumps to conclusions. lol
free and mandatory for all the drivers that drive significantly below the speed limit, and they have to compete and earn a rank to be let out again
Guess I’m gonna start being chronically late for work…just like the poor fucks stuck behind me! Free go karting here I come!
Maybe because he advocates for something to be free for men instead of everybody?
Is saying tampons should be free for women toxic femininity?
As a guy, I biologically need to go-kart once a month.
I’ve never done it. But it sounds really fun. I did have a motorized scooter that was super awesome.
It is awesome, the best is “slick tracks”. You get to power slide the ass around.
I don’t think think so. I’m not even sure my interpretation was actually why she reacted that way.
No, but it is passively transphobic, in that you’re forgetting that men and non-binary people may also use tampons. Tampons and every other necessity should be free for everyone.
“Engagement”
I’m just curious how she expects us to educate ourselves about this.
The feminist literature on go-karts does seem to be a bit thin.
Maybe she just really wants to encourage women to go to college.
It’s definitely related.
Not exactly childish, but usually you can apply it more broadly as a man enjoying something that isn’t seen as outwardly productive.
Before seeing the reply, my l reaction to his post was “this is some bullshit. I wanna ride go-carts too.”
Cindy needs to calm down though. I’m sure he didn’t mean women wouldn’t be allowed on the track; just that this man really likes go-carts.
Maybe it’s sexist to imply only men like go karts
Maybe him having “Caucasian James” as a handle makes her think he’s a racist? (Which is itself silly since it’s more likely a reference to The Office, but it’s all I can come up with.)
karting isnt childish unless youre in a child kart. there are karts that haul ass
Grown men don’t gokart!
Well they fucking well should, it’s delightful
Cindy is a red flag :)
Oh she warned the world for the red flag that she is, herself?
yeah but she doesn’t know that :)
Self-awareness is difficult :)
I assumed it’s a troll account, but she appears to be real. And from BC. And such a stereotypical representation of BC, I’m back to questioning whether or not it’s a troll account.
BC
Bitch Capital/City?
Columbia, briish flavour.
Argentina?
Canada
If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you’re less likely to become all festery and bitter, angry goblin.
I struggle to see what Cindy’s getting at, it’s ridiculous, of course, but I’m still curious and can’t imagine in my wildest dreams, why, because someone wants socialism and she’s brainwashed to believe capitalism is the only way? I don’t get it.
If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you’re less likely to become all festery and bitter, angry goblin.
And misery loves company. You can’t just go find a positive existence and be one of those weirdos who is like, into things.
I think it might have something to do with him only wanting it specifically for men.
All he did was creatively say he likes go karts.
If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you’re less likely to become all festery and bitter … I don’t get it.
You already explained Cindy’s problem in the first sentence.
Haha, didn’t notice that! You’re right!
I think motor “sports”, competition, noise, speed and fossil fuel is what triggers red flag. Or Ami wrong ?
Competotive mindset = being an ass?
Cindy’s one of those arseholes that thinks age-appropriate applies to leisure activities , isn’t she?
Unless the guy in question is responding to a free sanitary products post, then he can eat my entire flatulent arsehole
If anything, it’s more age appropriate to drive a go-kart in your 20’s than as a child. It’s a car. You have to be 16-18 to drive a car. Just because it’s a very small car shouldn’t change that. 😤
Found the person upset at getting passed by all the 12 year olds because they weigh half as much.
:p
I’m too big to even fit in them 😩
I remember not being able to reach the pedals on the cars at the Disneyland Autobahn. Now, I can just lift the car and carry it with me.
Oof, I feel this. The bumper cars at my local amusement park used to be so big you could t-bone your buddy and just turtle inside, now the whole damn car is basically the length of my legs sitting down.
… this that why the pass me? VINDICATION!!!
Nah, you can take the curves faster when you weigh more, skill issue.
Hell yeah! I learnt that in F-Zero from Samurai Goroh and his Fire Stingray.
😢 I prefer the first one
This is why you always bring your pet turtles to the track
Educate in what ? Not enjoying life ?
I’m speculating about her biases; she views the activity of go-karting to be a childish activity, and therefore the dude is childish. She sees a dude asking for something for free as entitled. (Go-karting is super fun BTW, especially if you go with a big group of friends, now matter what your age.) Cindy is indeed a bitch.
Can’t have men having fun.
The red flag I see is the word “Caucasian” in his username.
Most likely a reference to the character Jim from Mark Twain’s book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Although he wasn’t ever called “N****r Jim” in the actual book, the character was referred to by that name throughout the Jim Crow era.
Perhaps it’s just to avoid confusing him with other varieties of Jameses out there
maybe hes from the Caucasus
Given that I can think of at least three white guys names James off the top of my head that’s a really stupid way to avoid confusion, and I feel like someone would only miss how stupid that was if they had a weird obsession with their own skin color, so it’s actually two red flags
Asian Jim is a character on the US version of The Office. I suspect this is a play on that.
Ah yeah, that would make a lot more sense
I suspect it’s a joke based on The Office. Oe of the main characters is a Triscuit-American called Jim. There is a different character called Asian Jim. Caucasian James = white Jim.
But “Caucasian” is now recognized as a racist term (in that using it produces racism), kind of because it’s a science-y word for “white”, an unscientific concept.
Who recognizes “Caucasian” as a racist term? I’m asking this in all seriousness as I have never heard this before
Caucasian should mean “from the Caucus mountain region”
As a science term for “white”, see “Too Many Scientists Still Say Caucasian” in Scientific American, also “Abandoning the word Caucasian” in the Journal of Genetic Counciling and “The Ongoing Incorrect Use of Caucasian in Medical Research” in the journal Health Equity. There are a bunch of scientists who think this.
I think if you are actually describing something or someone from the actual Caucasus mountain region, it would be correct, but people might thing you meant “white” so even then you might be better off with “from the Caucasus Mountains”.
Which leads in perfectly to another joke from the US version of The Office where Dwight claims that Kelly, of Indian heritage, doesn’t qualify for their parent company Sabre’s “Print in All Colours” initiative because Indian people are technically Caucasian
Reminds me of that old chestnut of the white guy from South Africa who, after emigrating to the US, got into trouble for stating he was “African-American.”
I had a friend who moved to the US from South Africa as a kid. When “African-American” started being used she was very confused. She would ask “How is X ‘African’ when he was born in New Jersey and only speaks English while I was born in South Africa and speak Swahili and Xhosa is not African just because Im white?” It was then I started realizing how racist some of the attempts to counter racism ended up being.
Please don’t just pull shit out of your ass and present it in public…
No.
I suppose this doesn’t exactly suggest it’s deprecated in Twitter handles. But if the scientists have given up on it, why should normal people keep it?
Hehe…
Cock
You know what a chef’s shirt is called in Swedish?
Kock Rock
I support people being proud of their identities. You go James!
