Do you really see that much of a difference?

JFC, I didn’t ignore the rest of what you said. I replied to that point because it was the only one where I had something to add.

I don’t know why you’re thinking of the student newspaper. They should have replied directly to the Chronicle.

Yes, thank you for explaining this to me.

The problem is that I am not qualified to provide CBT in my classroom. There needs to be a middle-ground, which a reasonable warning can provide for. If you use the warning to say, “I’m telling you what’s coming up next week so that you have a chance to come up with coping strategies to get you through the class,”…

I totally agree with you...this is what I mean when I talk about students wanting to abuse the application of them.

That way would be a response essay or an op-ed. Wild thought, I know, but there it is.

Trigger warnings in and of themselves aren’t a bad idea; it’s the way some want them applied that’s the problem. Telling students, “Hey, heads up, we’re going to talk about tough stuff next week, so come ready” is actually really useful and can even improve preparation and therefore discussion. Prefacing every goddamn…

The split between third-wave and fourth-wave has happened. Blame Tumblr.

The fuck? When I filed a complaint against a professor in college, it was because he’d rubbed himself on me and then started plummeting my grades after I refused to engage. Forgive me for being a little annoyed when kids like these start trying to join the victim club.

Is Pandora old and uncool? Because that’s what I use and...well...now I feel old and uncool.

Ah. But the Conan growl thing is pretty well known for being a gag, and he got it from Letterman’s old “yeeeeow,” so I still associate it with Letterman. All Roads Lead to ‘80s Dave.

That’s kinda the point — it’s not shocking when it happens, so if you start mugging to the audience over it and being all cutesy, yes, you are trying to capitalize on it for sex appeal. Which is fine. Just don’t pretend you’re not doing it.

Because she’s Amy Schumer and will automatically want to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing. All the male hosts are sucking his dick right now, so he’s ripe for teasing, especially since you can see Letterman in all of the other hosts due to him being their inspiration and the father of this generation of…

UGH, YES. Conan and even “Colbert” do/did the leering thing, but it’s obviously an act and it’s over quickly. Kilborn was eye-sexing his woman guests the entire time. Like you worried that he was Cosbying them in the green room after taping.

Reeeeeally? I just see pure Letterman. I’ve watched Conan and Letterman basically every night they’ve been on since the mid-’90s and Hader is screaming Letterman to me. The only time I see Conan is when he looks to the audience, but that’s so generic now for hosts...and taken from early Letterman.

1) That whole segment is wonderful and I love that they’re genuinely enjoying it.

Was there really anyone who thought that was anyone but Letterman? Hader basically became him for that sketch. I thought it was her fuck-you send-off to him in a week filled with tributes.

By Yelp standards, she basically gave the place a handy. Completely irrational response to that review.

Haaaa. Same exact reaction. Torrid’s quality is always crazy cheap, their sizing is weird, and you can’t buy their stuff at the mall without going into Torrid.
