Just another everyday authoritarian bootlicker wannabe. Racist, too, but that goes without saying. These are the kinds of people who would sign up for the Gestapo. And wash out because they’re too stupid, too cowardly or both.

Intent does matter. An accident isn’t murder. The problem is when a person refuses to acknowledge what they did wrong and take steps to redress the wrong. The intent then transforms from something that could have initially been innocent into something entirely self-serving.

If you have good intentions, then you can can…

The umlaut/diaresis means it’s pronounced more or less like “soup.” Imagine a French guy saying “ewwww” for something a bit closer to the “real” pronunciation.

This is what “color blindness” sounds like.

Ya know, I normally don’t care. Correcting spelling ordinarily feels pedantic. But when people are trying to use a Latin plural form when they clearly don’t know what it actually is, *they’re* the ones trying to be pedantic—and failing hard.

Just say octopuses and viruses, people. It’s English.

Meh. That’s just too easy.

I get “octopi”. It’s wrong, but I get it. But where the fuck did “octopii” come from?

Yeah, fuck that guy!

I’m glad the officers who arrested her did not see the need to escalate to the use of deadly force during the encounter, and that she will survive to be arraigned.

That said, fuck if a part of me isn’t infuriated anyway.

Unless she next spells Picard’s name incorrectly, I can still get behind her.

After all, it’s just Voyager.

If you don’t conform to a particular stereotype, you won’t be perceived as a “Millennial.”

Most people don’t conform to stereotypes. In other words, it’s all bullshit.

‘88 here.

If Jim was joking, it didn’t come across—and as an attempt at a correction, it was misleading. Air travel is still safer. Far and away. Crouching tiger was the one making a joke.

And yeah, specific terminology is important if you’re going to be a nitpicker.

“No thanks. Vacations are for together time.”

I can’t call him worse than Reagan just because he was guilty of perjury. Reagan was guilty of worse in Iran–Contra.

Regardless, he should have resigned, and his refusal to do so, though cheered by liberals then, damaged the country. Even if we can see fit to stop re-litigating all of that, the fact remains that he is…

Umm, Sarah Sanders did, indeed, pitch a fit. She just wasn’t brave enough to do anything in the moment. She used Twitter instead.

“you are protected if you choose to be.”

Emotional responses are. Not. A. Choice.

You can engage in self-talk to mitigate or heal the damage, but that doesn’t make what was said harmless. Stop simplifying complex and difficult situations into convenient self-help bullshit. I’d be more into this if the writer didn’t act…

You missed an important one: bubblehead.

I used to buy all that myself, but SCOTUS is so nakedly partisan that the notion that they are independent of politics just because they don’t have to stand for election is absurd.

I understand the need for expertise at these positions, and I don’t think elections will make things any better, but I think there needs to…

Why don’t you know how you feel?

Right. These people are JUST like blacks at lunch counters.

You know, aside from the fact that they are some of the most powerful people in the country, and the “discrimination” has everything to do with their actions. Not even the “content of their character”, but *what they are currently doing using the power their…
