I think we can all agree with your assessment. The low information voters who voted “leave” still seem utterly clueless to what’s coming.

Yeah, I used to work for a company that gave very generous PTO and some people would be like “I can’t afford to use all this time!” And I would say “Afford?” and they would say “I can’t possibly take four vacations a year!” And I would say, “Who says you have to go somewhere? You could just be home, not working.” And…

I’m neither Irish nor British/Northern Irish; I’m neither Catholic nor Protestant, so I come at this issue from a strictly objective outsider’s view.

I hate the coworkers who act like I need to go OUT and DO SOMETHING FABULOUS every single weekend. One guy interrogates me with particularly odd questions every Monday, ie “Did you survive the weekend?” Well, I’m here, so obviously. Also, wtf do you think I do? Blindfolded cave diving?

I really really thought we’d put all that “living with your parents is super lame” thing behind us already. There are so many valid reasons why people choose to live with their parents!

You know, as a designer myself, I was at first thrilled to see this headline. How cool that someone not in the field even noticed! But it’s just a boring, thinly veiled hit piece on a longshot candidate based on... what, exactly? The fact that Buttigeig doesn’t have policy ready years in advance? That he thought…

Yes. Although it is rather silly. Almost no president had a platform this far away from election day. Barack didnt even know where Iowa was in April of 2007. And Trump was still trying to figure out who he would let win the apprentice in April of 2015.

I completely agree with you. No one comes to the job as POTUS completely prepared and able to execute on everything he or she promised b/c there are way too many unknowns. Way to many constantly-changing variables.

I agree with you 100%. Thank you for stating it so well.

Am I the only one that has no real problem with a candidate lacking policy specifics in April 2019?

Honestly, I can’t help but notice that you seem to have some really negative opinions formed about Buttigieg. It makes this analysis feel less like an actual examination of his branding, and more like just a snarky attempt at a take down piece. I mean this with respect, but it’s a little difficult to engage you as a…

I grew up in the mid-west, and this font makes me nostalgic for big industrial murals, train stations with art deco curves and architectural features built out of iron. Very specifically, it reminds me of Union Station in Cincinnati which went from low usage shell in 1971 to a vibrant natural history museum.

Totaly read your comment as “He could be asexual or aromatic.” 

He has the same audience as Clay Aiken? The lucrative middle aged chardonnay-soaked spinster crowd? I had no idea. I can’t imagine those women abandoning him if he were gay (they never abandoned Clay). I thought he was being sold as a teen idol (that stunning Calvin Klein ad sure looks more sex-object than…

He could be asexual or aromantic.

I think we need to believe people when they tell us who they are if it is something that clearly has nothing to do with us. He does point out how difficult and DEADLY this can be for people. 

Are you suggesting there’s hypocrisy in the “faith community” (particularly amongst those - like Laughlin - who make a living exploiting it)? Shocking.

Mendes is a kid trying to navigate his own coming of age, and doing so in a remarkably graceful way. He clearly feels pressure to be “seen dating a girl” even if he isn’t in a relationship, while he seems genuinely mindful of the well-being of fans who are gay. What his sexuality turns out to be is for him to discuss…

How come people always talk about faith getting them through a very public scandal AFTER they’ve done bad things? Where was your faith BEFORE you intentionally decided to be a selfish asshole?

To top it off, the scene where she comes out to her girlfriend as straight was a parody of Ellen’s coming out scene.
