The fact that she didn’t just laugh it off and had to actually explain he is not is the most telling thing about this article. Also Ratagin, way better than Cruz and voiced by Vincent Price. Cruz is more like Peter Pettigrew on meth.

I’m just going to repost my comment from the original The Slot post.

Seriously, this is how I was taught in counseling courses to engage clients and help clients start using this language during difficult discussions. It is a way to own your thoughts and not blame or accuse others. I feel that these Boomers are just upset that their communication, math, and overall social skills are…

That’s how I perceive that phrase. You’re not imposing your view, you’re offering it up to open the discussion. Not sure what that professor is whining about anyways; in term papers and everything you submit formally, you have to back up your text with references, so that phrase can only be used during class…

Ooooh that is some bullshit right there. I have an “issue” of coming off too direct, apparently. My reaction is ok so you want me to be passive aggressive. Got it.

Rather than condemn millennials—and those, shall we say, contaminated by them—for shirking “responsibility” through discourse, let’s acknowledge our more pressing duty: to stop policing speech, and instead welcome the voices clamoring to be heard.

Yes! I find leading with “I feel...” is a woman thing in the workplace (and life in general too). I know I guilty of leading with it vs. just saying something outright.

Hmm. Interesting. My boss recently told me that I come across as too aggressive, so in order to “make people want to work with me” I should hedge more. And the exact example she gave was: instead of saying “This is a problem” I should say “I feel like maybe this could be a problem.”

Dixie Chicks can cover whatever the hell they want. They have earned their stripes. Blazing hot career destroyed by the right wing and the media for uttering a simple truth.

Someone in the Dirt Bag comments yesterday was whining about how terrible Amy Schumer is because the asshole fan she called out was now going to get rape and death threats. My first thought was, “You are ridiculously naive if you think HE’S the one who is going to be inundated with hate and harassment over this.”

I love Michelle Obama and think she should remain First Lady forever, but Eleanor Roosevelt needs some credit here. She was pretty damn amazing as a First Lady.

Michelle Obama is the best first lady ever! I don’t care about any of them other ones. She is beautiful and full of life and dresses fabulously. And she didn’t let all the racist things said about her bring her down that shit rolled right off.

No way. This remark would never have been said to a man. No fucking way.

Yeah, sorry, this is bullshit. For all those people who are like, “Kelly is so brave! Kelly is such a trooper!” Sorry, THIS is Kelly. All about herself and frankly a little mean. If I were Strahan I’d be like, Yeah, I’m out. Fill my chair for the next two weeks, just like you did for her. He was contractually…

I like pissy Kelly. Let her blow off some steam. Strahan will be gone soon anyways.

Thank you! I was about to jump to their defense in the name of “capitalism” but then I saw the Landmark Forum and, well, forget it. That shit’s about as close as you can get to Scientology without selling your literal soul. I went to one of those introductory things too, and it creeped me the fuck out.

Yeah, the landmark forum shit is a real red flag. Fuck that noise.

Newly minted Landmark people are the polestar of navel gazing “woke” self-righteousness. I have several friends who all did Landmark for the low, low starting price of $500 (but don’t worry you’ll be in for thousands before its over). For reference, other than just saying that these friends are kind of weak willed…

Having also been duped into attending a Landmark Forum meeting, you are correct in regarding this as the most unforgivable aspect of the story.

There’s a lot to unpack in this story. While I can kinda, sorta see how the client base can be.....unsettled by the Englehart’s decision, it’s ultimately none of anyone elses’s goddamn business since they’re not selling their meat. Even if you disagree with their decision on a moral/ethical/whatever basis....Death…
