So was he telling the story to point out how racist his old job used to be? Because otherwise I can’t see any reason to share that with a black person. 

It seems like such an easy trap to sidestep. And yet these dudes dive headlong into it. 

Bad law for sure, but I don’t see how Crowley is a bad guy in this. He’s already endorsed her. He can’t just have his name removed without submitting it for another post and essentially “running” for a spot that he has no desire to win or serve in. I’m not sure why AOC played this angle. 

The post says she stopped him from beating the kid. 

This movie is going to be ruggedly handsome as shit. 

Oh bullshit. God help me if I’m ever moved to weep for someone as worthless as Stephen Miller. This is not just a polite ideological disagreement. People are coming to America seeking asylum, and thanks in large part to this fuckshit, we’re responding by taking their kids from them. According to the old head of ICE,…

This is bad and dumb.

The best argument against rigging in the NBA is that the Knicks haven’t won a title since ‘73, and have only been sporadically relevant. Like if you were running a fixed league, you’d at least throw your biggest market a bone every now and then, right?

Call off the investigation. I think we found the guy.

I thought it was fine. My biggest problem with it was it was the first movie in the series that didn’t feel like a standalone. When you’re watching 10 Cloverfield Lane, you’re trying to figure out what connects it to the first movie, and all ‘Paradox’ is is connective tissue. Hearing the premise for the fourth movie,…

No, they just give medals to 2nd and 3rd place. Shut up, dummy.

I understand your wariness. I think at this point though when Ds talk about bipartisanship, it’s a euphemism for sanity. They need to get back to environment where deals are allowed. If both sides start demanding ideological purity, then we’re going over a cliff. And it sucks that the Ds have to be the adults in the…

So what’s the alternative for the minority party? And what are the prospects for government in general if everyone decides that the capacity to compromise is a weakness?

Wait, pouring wine = date rape? Was he pouring it directly down her throat? Again, it was a gross move on his part. But she was still in a position to refuse it.

Hmmm…I’m not really asserting either. I guess my position is, the decisions she made at the beginning of the interaction I think made it necessary for her to be a bit more forceful in her objections later. Agreeing to go back to his apartment, the kissing, the oral sex…these are all things she consented to. After all…

See, I think Ansari was being very clear about what he wanted. There was no confusion about his goal was. She could have been just as clear in her lack of interest.

That’s what you said, yes? About me? I just want to make sure I have that right. Anyway, it doesn’t appear you’re interested in talking to me anymore, so enjoy you’re Friday.

I think if you don’t get a yes, that pretty much ends the interaction, right?

You’re making A LOT of assumptions about me, Angry Internet Person. I’m saying, ‘This situation was confusing.’ Yet you’re reading as ‘I’m a rapist looking for loopholes.’

Fair enough. Backing off if there’s confusion is definitely the safest way to go. I just think she could have done more to eliminate the confusion.
