This was a commercial for the bowling alley so it was all staged. Also, sorry for your loss.

That risk was mine to take, and so, I did...Being lectured about whether or not it’s safe to do anything is pointless, so why bother?

Really? This is the worst royal crisis in 85 years? Not Prince Andrew diddling teen girls on Pedophile Island?

I pity your editor.

Honestly, I am not sure how a writer at Jezebel was allowed to write a piece about “Sex and the City 2" without mentioning or linking to Lindy West’s iconic review of that movie: https://www.thestranger.com/seattle/burkas-and-birkins/

The left SHOULD “coddle” the general public. Caring about people is what makes the left better than the right. The dems problem isn’t that they aren’t shitty enough to republican voters. It’s that they aren’t cutthroat enough when dealing with republican politicians. 

All right, since the idea that maybe letting people die of plague might be just wrong is wasted on some people, let’s try some good old Randian self-interest.

I’m not sure what that has to do with this struggling child and her family who you seem unable to to muster any empathy for, except they happen to live in a “red state.”

I think one problem with America might be the mindset that lets you see a struggling, desperate little girl, and instead of thinking about the fucked up system that put her and her family in that situation, your mind was primarily (exclusively?) concerned with was whether her family was even deserving of sympathy at…

Two things I can not begin to understand:

Once again. Your argument is fucking stupid. Indentured servitude is fundamentally different form chattel slavery.

That’s my entire point... the South started a war to preserve slavery, and the North was forced to defend itself.  No one said “Let’s go to war to free the slaves”, which is how it’s painted almost universally... and what I find disingenuous.

What? No they weren’t. Neither of those things are true.

Lala talking about her struggles openly is a lot different than those struggles showing up in a Dirt Bag. It’s not the content, but the choice of where and how to present that content.

Less of a parenting advice, and more advice about interacting with other parents: Don’t judge other parents for the way they parent. Sometimes people seem really stupid, too strict, not strict enough. We’re all just doing our best, and for all the judgements we can throw at other parents, there’s plenty of things we…

Yea, I don’t think the case was made that this was a Gen X problem.  The original thesis is unproven.

It felt like the Gen X slander was put in there just to tie the article to 90s week. It would have worked better if it had just been about how the bigots co-opt and weaponize the language of social justice to push their hateful agenda. But instead turned into a worthless inter-generational warfare article that was…

I mean if they’re saying stuff like that, they don’t sound very left wing? :P

Looking at the years and doing the math, it all makes sense. It’s always mom and dad’s fault, isn’t it?

This is mind-numbingly bizarre and hard to follow. I even went down the rabbit-hole and read the linked articles and citations. What I’m coming away with is that Gen X should’ve changed... something so that 2021 racists, sexists and homophobes don’t get mad at people who talk about equality and accountability?
