Having met a few people like that, I believe they do it because they cannot accept reality—and themselves—as they are. It’s a strange coping strategy of denial that morphs into a self-induced delusion where they hide can from things that are scary or painful. It works, but it comes at a cost.

Perhaps. But he is only human. And he was dealing with extreme resistance to everything he tried to accomplish, plus the vicious personal attacks at himself and his family of the mind that no other president EVER had to face.

Wow. The scientists of yore had some amazing research ideas. If I find the original papers, I’ll link them here.

Lol jealous?

Not all men are bitching all the time, but there sure is a lot of ya.

Lol is that how you cope with liberalism? A support puppy? Aww

Not Jezebel’s fault that men bitch so much lol

We got a President-elect that is a Twitter star, Breibart News, and the Pizzagate, so technology will never again be free from politics. That is not Gizmodo’s fault at all, and ignoring it would be irresponsible. You can blame Reddit and 4chan for starting it, if you like, but the only way you can avoid politics…

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Now it’s more true than ever.

Gun owners believe that guns help them protect their children, and that it is worth the risk of accidents.  I’ve read an article about a woman whose toddler son shot her 8-year-old daughter. The mother blames the son and goes out to shoot her guns every couple days, as a way to cope with her grief. It may be hard to…

Lawsuits. Some people could hand one of those eggs to their kid who’s too young to know what is and isn’t edible. The child would choke, and the parents would sue the manufacturer, the importer, the seller, and the government for their own idiocy and lack of parental skills.

I thought the same based on the headline, but I think the article makes the opposite point. Some “threats” require actions so irrational that they don’t qualify as real dangers. It’s like banning plastic spoons because a very determined 10 year old could use one to pluck out his or her own eye.

“Always” might be a stretch, but since the arrival of smartphones, being a fashion accessory is the only way wristwatches can survive.

Frankly, the part about the woman that can’t wait to serve pie to her non-existent husband is more disturbing that both the “fragility” and the unfinished Ph.D. There’s something seriously wrong with a woman that dreams of being someone’s unpaid maid without even knowing who it will be—I guess because she doesn’t…

The “prequel-ish” part could mean this Paige is the mother of those 3 ( eventually 4) sisters. The Mom Witch—who left her first husband for a white lighter, had Paige the Younger with him, and died—I think her name was also Paige.  Can’t believe I remember this much about the show.

Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch. That poor woman.

Sure. Cause the police (and the government) is predominantly black and is shooting white people every other day, the prison population is mostly young white men, and whites are the most frequent targets of hate crimes! Except that it’s the opposite—so you are whining for no good reason.

Yes, you would be singled out, although perhaps it depends on where you are.  A part-time coworker of mine was openly referred to as “the Jew” (and encouraged to quit by creative means like being scheduled for one hour per day) by the newly arrived redneck manager—for no other reason than having curly black hair. The…

Also—who in the right state of mind let their parents choose their husbands? Even at 18, you are not their property. And if the best her family could do was disown her for not doing what they wanted, then it’s not surprising that she wanted to get away from them. If your child is a legal adult, the best you can do is…

How does it matter? Maybe he appeared normal until life got more stressful than usual—so he made himself feel better by beating her up. If one could always recognize dangerous people at the first sight, there’d very little crime of any kind.
