I bet he’s closeted. People like this who fight against gay rights have some deep seated issues and probably can’t handle the fact they are gay themselves.

Dear DC hookers and rentboys,

Former Marine here: General Mattis is fuckin awesome and he’s about the only person I’d trust to tell the President “Hell no, we’re not doing that.”

Harvey is garish. Period.

Someone this hateful has a Grindr profile somewhere. Get on it internet.

Minorities are and poor people are overly represented in the military. Avoiding military conflict is usually reserved for the weathly and privileged.

Don’t ask. Demand. If we are second-class citizens, and we have been, for the entire history of this country, then it makes perfect sense for women to be exempted from the draft. First things first!

If we make women sign up for selective service, it will deprive the MRAs of whinging point.

Trevor Noah had a great bit on this the other day. They’re handing facts like a toddler, so treat them like toddlers. Don’t argue back, ask them to explain. When it gets to the point that they realize that they can’t explain with anything that doesn’t trace back to a single uncorroborated Facebook post, you’ve allowed…

I honestly think people are just dumb enough or medicated enough not to have a bullshit meter any more, or whatever meter they have is floating in the middle of their bubble set to paranoia towards imagined opposition they can find plenty of on the internet, tailored just for them.

I think OPs point is that fact-checking someone else’s claims (i.e. proving they’re a liar) doesn’t matter much anymore, at least in regards to shaping the opinions of people apt to believe bullshit they read on the interweb. Obviously individuals are still capable of deriving objective truths, but it’s increasingly…

Next time, read a little further than the first sentence.

What’s disturbing is that merely fact-checking does no good anymore. The prevalence of lies and conspiracy theories to live on via social media, which eventually makes them “true”, is so ridiculous and dangerous. You can’t go and say “Actually, x never said ‘y’, he said ‘z’” anymore, because once the lie is out there…

You know, despite the fact that these accusations are complete bunk, I bet that they’ll still stick to him amongst the post-fact crowd. I think the thing that scares me the most about what’s been happening lately is how absolutely powerless the truth is against somebody who is fine with completely fabricating crimes…

ugh that’s so evil

Nope.

And while my views on monogamy and infidelity are nuanced, I *really* didn’t appreciate being an accessory to his cheating.

Since he only mentions the ED affecting him during sex (and not, say, during masturbation), I’m willing to assume that the issue is anxiety-produced rather than due to physical issues.

I knew a guy for years that I thought was single. We’d hit the bars be each other’s wingmen and help one another hook up.

Then one day I met his girlfriend of 5+ years.

Her: “I’ve heard so much about you!”
Me: “Wish I could say the same...”

THIS. I actually made my “bf” at the time listen to that clip and he got SUPER pissed at me. About a year after we broke up, I met his “new” girlfriend, and she was like “Oh I am not new, we’ve been together two years.” He looked like he was about to puke all over me.

That last one reminded me of Chris Rock: If you’ve been dating a man for four months, and you haven’t met any of his friends, you are NOT his girlfriend!
