I’m wagering, and hoping for his sake, that this one refers to “Bill W.”, as in, “I’m a friend of Bill W.”

Honestly, I stay away from comments sections everywhere but here. It’s frightening out there in the internet. And so poorly spelled.

You just know they say that unironically, just not on camera. They probably also love Mean Girls for the wrong reason.

“You’re a less-hot version of us, and are only dissing social media because you’re not as popular as we are” was pretty much what these girls were saying for 15 minutes.

True, but she’s righter than the usual “everyone’s a phony”, because she’s pointing out that in social media, everything LITERALLY is phony.

Yeah, Google (youtube) splits the ad revenue with posters after a certain number of views, it’s a big reason there are so many people with channels, pumping out SO many videos these days.

I think the “kids” angle is a red herring. It’s not about their ages, they’re just emulating exactly what the adult world is using the miracle of the Net for— getting attention and strokes, turning to the focus to ME ME ME every possible minute of the day.

This kind of endless “like me! like me! LIKE ME!!” drama used to be safely locked up in Middle School, but now technology is foisting it upon us all, endlessly, and giving it bizarre credence, which is only causing us to be an entire society living on the Middle School Edge.

if you consider “juvenile” equivalent to “young,”

While possible, we have zero conflicting accounts regarding who the aggressor was in the situation and it’s not good to burn someone at the stake for actions you’re supposing happened. Criticize her aggressive smear campaign against the bar, fine, but don’t reframe the story that we know and distort the sequence of…

I love Bernie! Here’s my Bernie speech:

But like I said elsewhere - perhaps your personal experience differs from mine.

Yeah, except they DID get fired.

Rabid is the right word! Anyone that would go to Defcon4 war over a lack of ice makes me question their account of ALL their actions, frankly.

Beautifully said! Bernie needs you as a speech-writer.

Zero evidence of “punched in the face,” just like zero evidence of “you will be raped in that bar.” How can you lend credence to anything she says when she’s also said a half-dozen bizarre and unbalanced-sounding things in her own account?

Yeah, they fired the guys for not being empathic to her, where is her “Please don’t burn down that rape bar after all, please go ahead and patronize it so a dozen people aren’t out of jobs because I had a shit night”?

“Re-encountered” and “followed until caught up with” are very fine lines apart, and this woman’s enjoyment of revenge says all you need to know about which side of that line she was most likely on, IMHO.

They SHOULD have been more human and offered ice — unless she seemed as deranged as she does, was just seen chasing people down the street to mace them, then backed up her derangement with truly bizarre libel about your establishment being a Rape Palace, due to the... lack of ice...
