You’re in a cafe in central Moscow, looking for a chocolate croissant or something. Standing in line, you take a look around at the other patrons: people in various hoodies, puffer jackets, general casual attire, and two men in what appear to be nice suits.

Clearly the right thing for anyone (innocent or not) in his position to do is withdraw his name, right? I was thinking about how I would react if I were accused wrongly (which I do not think is the same case as this), and I think I’d drop out.

I kind of wish people didn’t do stuff like this. There is no “destroying” Trump. He does not now, and has never, and will never read the comments. He probably knows there is such a thing as replying on Twitter but we know he doesn’t care, because he has never used it.

So the max he can get is ten years, which means he’ll get sentenced to five, which means he’ll be able to get out in 3, which means he’ll be out by election day 2020 when you subtract time served, which they will because this world is deeply, deeply unfair.

It also seems dumb because...isn’t keeping your most lucrative client alive a pretty strong incentive? Even if you doubt that Scooter is totally pure of heart, literally everyone benefits from keeping Bieber alive and well and actually able to create music.

It’s the latter, it’s all of those put together.

You can’t even sit at home on your own damn couch without these motherfuckers ruining your whole shit.

I think you’re conflating three different phenomena (but you’re not wrong to point out they look the same). When you say faux outrage, you might mean:

Not sure I totally buy this thesis. Or I do, but not with some of your examples.

One thousand percent this was a sex thing.

I’m here to cosign this. Maybe I had a weak index finger when I started opening cans or something but the thumb way is what feels natural. I always assumed everyone did this, and now I have to check next time I’m out for beers. 

I think this is true, and I think the way it manifests the most frequently is in the oft-expressed variation of, “who hasn’t said something kind of racist every once in a while?”, which is sometimes attended by, “we’re all thinking it, I just have the guts to say it.”

They were around until at least the late 2000s; I remember begging my mom to drive me to the mall before I could drive myself to get books the day they dropped there. God, I was so cool. 

lol what an Anna Delvey move, to stiff your own staff for a paltry $600. That’s a lot of money to me, and probably that scheduler, but definitely not to Pruitt. Which just goes to show, the corruption is a built-in part of his personality, clearly beyond just the money. 

This is the most 2018 car, where the design trend is apex predators: cars in the process of, but not quite finished with, eating other cars. cf. BMW i8.

Unpopular opinion but I see no lies or fireable offense here. If it was meant as a joke it’s definitely not funny in the ha-ha sense. And if it wasn’t meant as a joke, well it’s true and it’s not beyond strategy to think that sometime soon McCain is going to be swept off the board.

One would think, coming from any other public transit system in probably the whole world, that it’s safe to try to get information from someone wearing a uniform who clearly works there without being told to fuck off. We’re all enlightened now, but if you were coming from New York, or Boston, or Philadelphia, your…

Always wrangling truthers.
