Neither of them deserved punishment. It was a nipple. And I thought the whole moment was kind of cool. The aftermath, not so much.

I’m definitely not arguing that her treatment after the fact wasn’t sexist, because it was, but I have been confused by that. A lot of people have been acting like it was something he did to her and not something they did together.

I seriously doubt they actually do anymore. Besides the various typographical errors in most everything, they’ve made some weird factual errors lately, too (like Ronan Farrow being Woody Allen’s abused daughter and Bowie only dying a year ago).

This is the first RR I’ve read in a while, so probably a lot.

Sometimes twice in the same thread, one right after another.

This is incredibly nitpicky, but fentanyl is a generic drug, too (along with oxycodone, which is properly rendered).

I think you mean virtue signaling. You should probably get your shibboleths right or you’ll seem like Trump declaring “Two Corinthians” his favorite book of the Bible.

It wasn’t a suicide gag, it was an “I’m mortified to be making this joke” gag. So it’s not crazy that this offended you, but it’s also not crazy that some people’s sense of humor doesn’t switch off in response to grief.

That wasn’t the reason Trump called the place a shithole, though. It was the people. All Conan has to do is show the people of Haiti to protest Trump’s statement.

Considering that 99% of the blame will amount to jack shit for this dude, I’m comfortable placing 1% of the blame on the parents. I’m sure they place at least that much on themselves, if they’re decent people. This really should’ve been handled when she told her family about it (although the article doesn’t specify…

Yeah, I mean, I’m loathe to defend him, but he fixed the bad situation here in a way that he didn’t have to.

I think people forgot what they were mad at him for. This is nothing but good and he didn’t have to do it.

I think the offer of 40% was fair and I’m kind of surprised they didn’t take it. Aside from the first minute, the songs are completely different. She intentionally or unintentionally cribbed the first verse or two, sure, but what makes Creep so memorable is really the chorus and especially the bridge.

I agree with Twitter that he shouldn’t be banned, but I think he should be prevented from blocking people. I mean, they won’t do it, but that’s what people should be complaining about. It’s honestly a little insane to me to imagine Twitter banning any political leader for any reason. Any thing they say is definitely…

Yeah, I definitely agree. I just think that homophobia has always been one of the rarer instances that means aversion rather than fear. I also agree with everything else you said. I’ve just heard the “I ain’t afraid of no gays” declaration from homophobes a lot, too.

The homophobia meaning fear of gay people thing is more silly though. Phobia also means aversion, such as photophobia (sensitivity to light).

She was on You Made It Weird 4 or 5 years ago and talked a lot about it, but it all sounded like he made the workplace unpleasant in a general sense. When I read the “complimented me and not cringe” line, I took it as possibly referring to professional praise handed out as a kind of mind game when taken with…

It was an arteriovenous malformation, but it definitely affected his behavior. I think he mostly described narrating his life as it happened around him, which seemed like a sort of vague symptom when I heard him describe it on a podcast. It may have had effects during the time of this incident since it’s congenital,…

I’d think most people would be fine as long as they don’t pregame, but then you’d have to get drunk at full price.

Hey now. Organized crime groups have to launder their money somehow, so at least they pay taxes.
