It’s always dangerous to play with equivalencies (“Well, uh, but, like, if I said that about a WOMAN you’d say it was SEXIST!”), but it’s hard not to see parallels to some black critics who felt Obama wasn’t “black enough.” It was simplistic to call those critiques “racist;” it’s equally dumb to call Peck…

Great moment. Drama talent heart athleticism skill. People who claim they love tennis, but try to rationalize why they don’t love women’s tennis - as if there’s something missing in the athletes as opposed to something missing in them.... Their loss.

You’d have to be German to make it work.

But it would’ve been super scary to have you there because what if they’d touched you and it had been misinterpreted as sexual harassment because they’re all nice guys but they just don’t want to be misinterpreted and it’s so hard these days so really they were just looking out for you!

I didn’t relish this cheesy joke when I read it, but I should probably just.... chili.

Yes.

Sorta. It’s an important consideration to raise, and frustrating that The Takeout typically avoids these topics as if they don’t exist.

This exchange reminds me -

Important donutform.

You had me at “flaccid.” But, the opposite.

Define “bad.” Because what I’m saying is, I don’t think Bud is bad. 

Me too. And I assume that’ll just have to be the solution until Chrome stops working as well, because...I don’t think... there’s anyone... whose job it is to fix and update Kinja ... now?

It’s funny, though, isn’t it - I have no expectation that there is any person, anywhere, that I could ask about fixing the new issues in Firefox. Like, is there any person whose job it is to maintain and update Kinja now? I think of it as this zombie offspring of Gawker that just keeps plodding forward even though the…

Does anyone else find that Kinja no longer works right on Firefox?

Right! If you get served, tip your server. If you get served something that’s free and lets you sit and socialize without renting your spot by paying for a drink- all the more reason to tip generously.

yes.

I believe in the fundamental sociopathy of (many) large corporations. That said, I keep running into serious, beer-loving non-sociopaths who defend Bud (the beverage) as a quality brew and a standout exemplar of high-quality mass production. Most notably Sue Langstaff, the weird, cool “sensory analyst” and…

Well, I hear that, and I think sausage and cheese on a muffin sounds great. But the default would be the version that’s most commonly ordered, not the one with the least ingredients.

I want to thank you for using comprise properly.

I want to take Jez seriously when it goes into the phonebooth and transforms into Serious Mode Jezebel. But articles like this one are the kryptonite. Seems like Jezebel Doesn’t Like Pete Buttigieg. Using “doesn’t like” on purpose here, because this and other pieces on the site read strongly of…
