Oh yeah, the old, “How can you be mad at me, I’m an asshole but at least I admit it!” Like this makes you so evolved.

I’ve noticed this trend lately of people using self-awareness as some kind of excuse for being awful. Like, “I may be a complete self-centered asshole, but I admit it so it’s okayyyyyy” as if owning up to something erases any moral responsibility or reason to improve. Julie Klausner strikes me as one of those people…

Yeah, you don’t have to make a public statement or say anything about wishing her healing and light or ANYTHING. Literally the easiest thing to do would be to stay silent.

Oh man. I know that Julie Klauser has a hate-on for Pauley Perette, but maybe dial it back when the person has been a victim of a serious crime?

Oh, classy. Good thing I never had much respect for her anyway so I’m not really losing anything, I guess.

Yeah, my opinion of Klausner is rapidly changing. I get that she’s snarky and sarcastic (as am I) but this feels really low. I can’t tell if she’s being sincere that they have some sort of weird history but if I found out that some girl who was rude or weird to me at a social event years ago was beaten I wouldn’t…

Her tweets are still up. The level of shitty a person has to be to mock someone like that, in a vulnerable position, is just mindblowing. Ugh.

That is some grade-A bullshit coming out of Chelsea Manning’s mouth. You can’t really be a woman if you have short hair? Go fuck yourself.

And that’s perfectly fine. Beliefs are like assholes and whatever floats your boat, awesome! I’m not offended by skeptics. My problem was in the way it was stated and the implication that supernatural things don’t exist to “logical” people and all supernatural stories are either sleep paralysis, a house settling, or…

Because she was a prick about it. I’m not religious and my boyfriend doesn’t believe in ghosts and things either. I’m not personally offended by it, HOWEVER: “I know ghost stories make for fun family lore, and I get that folks experience sleep paralysis or have homes that make strange sounds. It’s probably very fun to…

JESUS you’re a buzzkill. It’s Halloween, enjoy a damn ghost story. I promise we will all still stand in awe of you as the smartest person in the room, but for gods sakes just fucking relax.

I’ve seen and experienced things that go beyond houses making strange sounds and things that would defy your logic.

“If they knowingly hung spiders everywhere after he specifically said that he had a phobia,”

The whole reason he told his colleagues about his phobia is that Halloween was coming and he apparently either knew or suspected that images of spiders would be enough.* They knew that toy spiders would freak him out.

it doesn’t matter if they’re real or not. Some people couldn’t play Skyrim because the virtual giant spiders triggered their phobias - an early mod turned all spiders into bears.

Do you not understand what a phobia is?

.... that people with phobias don’t register as toys.

Exactly. This is why I can’t watch those “gotcha” television shows that the producers try to pull off as practical jokes. Practical jokers are terrible, awful people.

Yeah, I mean, obviously waving a gun around is crazy, but phobias by definition are illogical and irrational. It sounds like his coworkers purposefully triggered his phobia because they thought it would be funny to watch him panic, then they complanied that he acted unhinged while in the midst of a panic attack. It’s…

If they knowingly hung spiders everywhere after he specifically said that he had a phobia, then fuck them. Don’t play with people’s phobias. People who do that are the scum of the earth. Otherwise, don’t wave guns around. Not cool.
