What’s bizarre is that they project with the accuracy of a laser satellite their own myriad of issues onto every single person that crosses their path. It’s like some kind of reverse superpower.

OT but Sondland is fucking torpedoing Trump with his testimony. 

Rich people sincerely believe they earned everything they have.

Maybe he can pass on some of his newly acquired wisdom to his dad.

I’m glad you have never met a sociopath. They can be charming. If all monsters looked like monsters everyone would be safe.

I feel bad for clicking but thought, what could she ever say so I did 

She originally filed for divorce in 2006 and accused him of “cruel and inhumane” treatment in the divorce papers. She also said he exhibited “extreme anger and hostility” toward her.

My first question reading the title was “Why?” And then of course you find out because some fucking vultures are hounding her for a quote.  It is beyond a shame she even had to release a statement like this.

She divorced him, people shouldnt be asking her about this. She isn’t required to have an opinion on her ex -husbands criminal behavior. 

Or, and this is asking alot, but stay with me... start with the assumption that the victims were telling the truth. Or at the very least, that they were likely enough to be telling the truth that there’s something worth reporting to the police.

At that time it would have been a club hockey game which maybe would have had a few dozen people in attendance at a shitty rec center near the football practice center. The concert is far enough away from the football building that the part of campus approaching the football building would have reasonably been…

the theory’s basic premise is that human beings generally operate under the assumption that the people we are interacting with are being honest.

And beyond your joke, it’s also probable that the campus would seem deserted if people were inside those arenas and not walking around when McQueary stepped outside.

Add to that McQueary was legitimately afraid of not only losing his job but also his entire career. If he was blackballed by Penn State, may as well go get that teaching certificate. Telling Paterno was a huge risk on his part. Completely agree that Gladwell is the lowest form of life for rehashing a settled matter,…

He wonders why McQueary remembers the campus as being deserted on the night he says he witnessed the assault (Feb. 9, 2001), even though there was a hockey game and a Barenaked Ladies concert on campus that night.

It’s not about being loyal to a stranger, it’s contrarianism as performative intellectualism.

To be fair, I think we should withhold judgement and run that experiment just to be sure.
