“Privileged” isn’t an insult. It means “you have some advantage other people don’t have.” Often, it’s used to point out that someone is making an argument about a situation they’ve never personally been in, and therefore is mistaken about some piece of information they’re claiming as fact. You can use it as part of…

No. It gets TAKEN as an insult. But it isn’t one, any more than it would be an insult to call a wealthy person “rich” or a lottery winner “lucky.”

Isn’t all this shit pretty much completely staged?

That is kind of how I look at it. I certainly have benefitted from it though I had no control over it. I don’t think I need to apologize for it (as I really didn’t have any control over whether I would have it) but I sure as hell should do what I can not to make it worse and try to treat everybody fairly so that…

Best to cut your losses and find a better…

Anecdotal evidence: A close coworker of mine didn’t get a bonus or a raise this year. Keep in mind he got 4/5 on his evaluation (5/5 basically means you’re being promoted), is friendly with everyone on the team, shows up early, the whole 9 yards. Their reason? “You weren’t here for the full year so you’re not eligible…

I’m sure if people end up getting killed in their hundreds of thousands in Korea, their surviving family will applaud you for your valiant pedantry.

US Constitution, article 1, section 9: “The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

I hope they sent the same message to Kyrie, AJ Styles and that one rapper who thinks the Earth is flat too.

Man...that last tweet though. Incredible.

Nah, it was pretty obvious that something was going on with him in the second season of ‘Black Jesus’. He was really, really gaunt.

What a coward.

“Eric Trump Is a Moron” Yeeeah....riiiiight. Next you’ll be telling me that Barry Manilow is gay.
