“The baffling, ludicrous, utterly unserious claim that a guy joshing you on Twitter is anything close to “totalitarian regimes” is absolutely insane, but it’s also a good indicator of where, precisely, Stephens is operating from: a sense that any personal slight to him, no matter how small, is nothing less than a…
I’d like to see Bret Stephens be a woman on Twitter for two hours.
If there is not a @BedBugStephens Twitter account in the next 24 hours, I shall be very disappointed.
I’d like to see Bret Stephens work two hours in a telephone customer service or tech support job and then come at me about how bedbug is such a terrible thing to be called. What a fucking snowflake he is.
Oh, hahaha I assumed it was referring to Angelina and her brood of children, and I was like... (scratches head).
Who/what in the hell are you talking about?
I think part of the reason (at least in the US) that those skills were lost was because prior generations moved away from them. There was definitely a sentiment for a while that making something from scratch was something that only poor people did, and you had truly “made it” if you were able to purchase pre-made food…
(X’er here) “The younger, the better” is true in a MBA’s mind. Younger people are cheaper, dumber, and more plentiful. Corporations prefer naivety from their workers. Less hassle. Older workers ask hard questions, make more money, and tend to work less hours. In short, they do not want employees to be as greedy as the…
I have lived in an intentional community for over twenty years in a relatively rural area, close to medium-sized cities. It’s not a lesbian one specifically as we have men and women of different sexual orientations. But I recognized a lot of our experiences in the article. Many people who contact us want to live with…
I would watch the shit out of it, though.
Why don’t they just put a show on HGTV and promote how they are open to tiny homes?
If he did, that’s the weirdest revenge ever taken.
As a masshole I can say that most people I know here don’t like him for a bunch of reasons; chief among them? He looks like a younger Brett “I LIKE BEER” Kavanaugh
This kind of warmed my heart. I hope he really is just helping her out (not that I really see a reason not to believe him).
The 2nd Amendment is a threat to civil liberty. I say this a owner and regular user of firearms.
This is a very good point! While red flag laws can certainly help prevent specific tragedies and may ease the endless slog that is trying to get a mentally ill person help, the unintended consequences can be brutal, plus a determined person can basically get a gun anytime they want thanks to gun shows and the…
If you have the stomach for it, try going onto almost any firearms-centric message board. they are full of people with legitimate mental health issues, like PTSD, depression, and even suicidal ideation, who have access to mental health services, but won’t take advantage of it, because they are afraid “someone will…
It wasn’t even just the Jill Stein stuff. There was also the “Clinton will be even worse than Trump” stuff that we all recognized as dumb when Maureen Dowd wrote it. As well as her telling a trans activist fearful for what might happen to them in a Trump administration (this was maybe a week after the election itself)…
