I think you see that in every fight from Gun Rights to Abortion. I think because you can never count on a safe space, it’s really just a personal choice. Either you commit to having the adult conversation most of the time and realize you’re going to be ignoring people agreeing/disagreeing with you incorrectly. Or you…

The problem with managing is envariably that ends up involving some staged physical shenanigans. Unless he can find a way to always slip away, there’s always going to be a demand for him to take a fall.

No. 99% of people are just fine. It’s just that 99% of people is generally trash when it comes to dealing with that 1% that’s basically antisocial on their own. The entire reason rule of law exists, is largely because hundreds of years ago people realized that without police and courts, people would largely just…

I don’t have a breast cancer story, but I do remember when I was growing up that I developed a lump on my chest. It was interesting because talking with my Doctor, I largely had no idea that not only does it happen to men and that many men never get it checked out because of the assumption that it doesn’t happen.

The main problem is (as they point out) the unlikely event of no perceived moderate candidates in the race.

The thing I think people don’t get from people like Steinam or Albright is, they watched HRC bashed with the same cudgel Hillary’s opponents on the left are using for a decade and a half by misogynists from the RNC.

Umm, never?

What drives me nuts when I read things like that isn’t that they don’t like Hillary. It’s politics. What drives me nuts is often the lack of context in what is purported to be a feminist issue. When Dems bash the Clinton White House years, they sort of tacitly forget the Republicans had total legislative power for 6…

Maybe? I think it’s an interesting question that gets resolved multiple ways. When I was single, I’d probably have been right there with you. The only cost incurred would have been my own and I might make that choice.

The problem is tazers are ineffective on moving targets. That was on NPR yesterday (while also at times being lethal force as well.) And with pepper spray, to be in range the target may have already made their lunge. There’s no guarantee they can bring the target down.

The’re cops, not Ninjas.

Not sure that’s the case. A majority of his fame came in a very specific surge several years ago. It’s the same surge that guys like Markiplier experienced later to a lesser extent.

I’d say the same thing, but Kotaku keeps covering him. It’s like saying I don’t care about Marvel movies. Whether or not I care, people are still going to post articles so people are going to read about it and talk about it.

Honestly, as a former student it didn’t really bug me whether or not direct feedback was needed to grade faculty. My opinion was in general tying too much to student evals led to too much coddling. But at the same time, I think there’s a certain level of complaints needing to be taken seriously.

‘Eh. Largely this kind of paranoid/half-true stuff bores me after a while.

Ok... but when I said preferences in the context of what I was writing, that wasn’t what I was talking about.

I do think for a lot of guys (especially of the nerdy/shlubby set) that’s part of the double edged sword of success late. They don’t acclimate to normal dating because until they are extremely successful, they don’t start seeing that attraction.

I think the problem comes in (especially if you’re going to acknowledge the outcasts in school thing) is that people once they hit the age of 30 and to even more an extreme at 40 are products of so much experience that may not lend itself easy fixes. The guys kvetching about women with baggage in their 30's or 40's…

Feel free to find it troubling. People claiming things against the Clintons is old (and at a certain point I can’t pretend there isn’t political motivation or the suddenly concerned should have been talking about this in 2000 which is a year after the last date accusations even were really talked about.)

100% Vetting? No. There are too many stops and too many localities that different people get used. Sure, they try to have an idea and they do their best to prevent it from backfiring, but no most campaigns do no expect a politician speaking on behalf of their candidate to require the candidate subsequently address any…
