Your personal happiness depends on the discomfort of others by your own admission, that makes you a bad person. You can’t even get through three sentences without hitting on a perfect reason no one should ever listen to your opinion

I understand what you are arguing, and I’m not saying that an unqualified person should take responsibility for resolving the situation, but again this is a line of thinking that when taken to it’s logical conclusion explains why victims were not helped, and why that’s completely reasonable. It’s not that it doesn’t…

You’re misinterpreting or misrepresenting my argument. I’m not using examples of people perpetuating abuse, I’m talking about otherwise morally upright people who are involved in institutions that also contain abusers, and are approached by victims of that abuse, and then take the appropriate steps prescribed by that…

But, again, if you scrutinize your logic here it prioritizes the state of mind of the person hearing the allegation over the victim’s safety. This is the exact phenomenon abusers use to slip into a bureaucracy that isn’t equipped to handle them either, and then escape unscathed with the benefit of having been…

These are the excuses predators depend on otherwise morally upstanding people to make, otherwise they couldn’t exploit systems and expect them to protect them. How this is different than saying “I was just following orders” or “I took each altar boy’s statement and forwarded them to the Cardinal as I was instructed to?…

That is exactly how abuse is perpetuated within an institution

If you design grills for McDonald’s, and a teenager came to you and said “hey, the guy playing Ronald is sexually harassing me,” would you be comfortable telling them you aren’t qualified to intervene because your technical skills lie elsewhere?

I think there’s a lot of nostalgia for a time 10 years ago when the gov wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t a constant embarrassment. Once Biden gets out there and starts talking, he’ll remind everyone that his role those days was “constant embarrassment” and our standards are just way lower

This was my thought too, all the previous events were going to end one way or another long before Carol got to Earth

He knows he can get away with it. His supporters are willfully stupid; the only people who will point out 45's buffoonery to them are people they probably resent, defying “the libs’” expectations of how someone should respond to whatever the latest embarrassment is way more important than actually processing the…

Weird that Shapiro-ette here hasn’t called out the Transformers franchise or the NFL yet for their propaganda where the military even got their money’s worth. I’m sure it’s coming. Any minute

I believe she was the dialect coach for the movie, they just cast her in one scene.

Our comic shop had a screening of Captain Marvel last night at a theater near a local college that my fiance and I went to. When we were walking out she commented on how many laughs the 90s stuff got, and I had to be the one to break it to her that a good chunk of that crowd of adults was born after the 90s

Honestly, I believe that empty feeling is because they designed a space to be a casino and were told 18 months before opening “No gambling. Build out our twice-nightly show, gift shop and buffet as much as you can, but if the budget or opening day change at all this project is no longer viable so don’t add anything we…

Yang might have “founded” the place and “sold” it on paper, but if it’s a criminal enterprise it’s more likely she just graduated from patsy-level. Real question is, who else was at her table?

How does the Great Lootbox Pushback of 2017 fit into the problems and content droughts games like Anthem (and Fallout 76 among others) have been launching with? They’re clearly being released before they’re finished, but is that because major features are being redesigned and budgets/expected revenue are being…

See, I would think that exposing himself to her presence in a controlled way, maybe even over time, would give him a greater tolerance and resistance to her bullshit at full strength. But I’m no doctor

It’s ultimately a good thing, if it gets these conversations out of the way now so the Dem platform has recent policy debates to build itself on for 2020.

I don’t have a Twitter account and likely never will, but the two of us are having this conversation in an article written about the cascading effects of various tweets that have been sent over the past several days. Like it or not, this is how political discourse goes these days and we’re proof of that 

Thanks for the correction, it’s too late for me to fix it but I must have been reading too fast the other day
