This shit is draconian. <5 years...maaaaybe 10, then ok “but”

Your statement demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of the use and construct of “safe spaces” and then goes on to give the very reason why they exist (hint: to give people space to process their experiences with trained and/or like-minded and/or like-experienced individuals who can facilitate that processing).

This is a good point. Another observation about many of these folks’ ideas about colleges/universities: none of them seem to have really spent any time on college campuses in the last few years. I have worked on or around college campuses for almost two decades now and, based on my experiences, none of these students…

So I watched the promo and Adam Carolla mentions the movie Animal House as a good example of how having fun at college should be, which is exactly the tell for white dudes of a generation like this. I always enjoyed the movie, too, but I can’t help but recall how brown faces only appear 1) as untouchable in terms of…

They’re just mad because they can’t make money and be left alone while making lazy jokes that point fun at the already marginalized anymore. If anyone needs a safe space, it’s them, and it’s obnoxious that they don’t realize that they are the whiny ones.

Maybe these asshats were never funny to begin with?

I find the whole “we can’t joke about what’s happening in the world with people getting offended!” line so disingenuous because there are countless comedians making a living joking about what happening in the world in a thoughtful way. What they really mean is “no one find ME and MY casual bigotry funny anymore, and…

Ladies, it’s all changing! Women have waaaay too much power! Where was his fair jury trial? This was a lynch mob/witch hunt! This guy’s whole life is ruined!

Totally. If we don’t cut taxes for corporations to establish their hq or physical facilities somewhere in the US then they will all go overseas. I mean, it makes perfect sense to locate a distribution warehouse for products which will be sent to American buyers in some other country where taxes are lowest. I guess the…

TL:DR?

Obviously he got a referral for a plastic surgeon from Wayne Newton?

When I was in the service, bored Marines would eventually get around to playing “For ten million dollars, would you...” They never liked to play with me, though, because my answer was always “Look, there’s not a thing I wouldn’t do for the freedom $10 million would buy me.”

Many years ago when I worked in a call center for a ‘V’ery big cell phone company I had the displeasure to talk to this guy on the phone.

I don’t think anyone rises to a position of national (or even state) power without stepping over the ashen backs of at least a few fallen competitors—but I continue to hold the belief that it’s possible to do so without being a rapist, at the very least.

I register as an Independent because I fundamentally believe that…

Call me jaded, but I really don’t think people rise to positions of power or notoriety in America without being dicks.

Not going to lie. I’d suck a dick for $7.5mil.

Not denying your story, but that was a professional event. Of course he’d have been on his best behavior.

I haven’t even read this story yet but I know if a man told me he “accidentally put his hand up a woman’s shirt” I would know right then and there he was lying.

A friend of mine used to be a network admin at Minnesota Public Radio, so spent lots of time around Garrison Keillor. He said one of the things Keillor was known for was going into a bathroom and basically turning it into a toxic waste dump, and people would whisper to each other what bathroom he’d been using so…

I love how these guys think the workplace can turn into some Law & Order episode where there’s a judge and jury who will decide whether they keep their jobs. All they have to do is be convincing and that’s enough of a defense!
