Our mutual love of the language is one of several things we have in common. I don’t know that I subconsciously rebel against her by writing poorly, I may just be a bad writer.

I really hope not. At least one of us on this planet has to be a genuine ally.

Guilty here on both the Random Capitalization and the run-on sentences with excessive comma usage. I don’t know what happened to make my writing so sloppy, my mother was an editor.

My vote is bored teenagers. Remember when Crop Circles were a thing? Hoax.

But when said videos are made in-house, they could certainly include subtitles as part of the actual graphics of the video. Strange for a site that’s vocal about being pro-equity and inclusion.

That’s what I thought. Everyone should engage the services of a mental health professional to work through a major emotional trauma. It’s the smart thing to do.

Right, but I wouldn’t call the absence of support or even derision “real harm”. Semantic difference of opinion, I suppose, but I would reserve that phrase for physical harm, property damage, or crippling emotional trauma. Lack of support for or cruel humor about a cause is simply a fact of life in our tribalistic…

I was with you right up to the “can cause real harm” part. What real harm is it likely to cause, apart from all these angry people?

This is so strange, because I have never met a 13-year-old who was passionate about a topic and tried to explain it through a flawed or limited understanding. Teenagers are usually so dispassionate and have a deep and complete grasp of the topics they talk about.

We do this with our son (autistic), but the down side is that if life intervenes and we have to deviate from the mutually understood plan for any reason, he really loses his shit. Like, he thought he had a handle on it, but no life has pulled the rug from under him because traffic or an unexpected facility closure or…

She’s going for the twenty-something look to keep fooling her new husband, so she wears Burning Man attire these days.

Former Compuserve user here. There were so many girls on the internet. Like roughly, oh, I don’t know, 50% of all users. And all those girls predated the “There are no girls on the internet” meme by about 10 years.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It’s as if it starts off as the “harmless bit of fun” I hear about in harassment suits, then slowly rolls into champagne as a metaphor for them pissing on her to mark their territory.

Having met her and held a conversation as two human beings often do, I would put more faith in her creativity and compassion (and artsy Columbia degree) than I do in most politicians with a Harvard Law degree. She also has team management skills which she has honed in television. That doesn’t feel sexist to me, but…

In the political climate that existed at the time, yes. For any more specifics, you’d have to ask Minnesota voters. I’d certainly vote for Aidy Bryant right now, regardless of her age.

I think it is because they are in a powerful position because they are men.

Harsh, but fair.

I’m more than “okay” with it, as I said I think resigning was the right thing to do and I’m glad he did it.

If that were truly the case, there would not be any men without influence or power in the world. There are plenty of powerless people in America of all genders.

Still glad he was persuaded to resign. It was the right thing to do. Big fan of his comedy and his books, not a big fan of entitled gropers who are utterly convinced they are a “good guy”.
