First off, work is work, and the people who do an honest job should be treated with dignity and respect, on the clock and off.

It’s just heartbreaking that she had to live through this. I just feel so sad for her. I cannot imagine living to that age and burying a son.

And the part where he came back throwing racial slurs around for the rest of his life that she thought he’d never be capable of: “She later said she was “ashamed” of her son for the “terrible language” he used toward the Vietnamese captors who tortured him. “I never would have believed in this world he would ever use…

It’s amazing she made it through the Keating Five scandal. 

I wonder how many centenarians don’t outlive at least their first-born child. I can’t imagine it would be very many.

To then have him continuously crapped on by the worst president in modern history. I really do feel bad for her. 

Its sad. My grandmother hurried her son when he was six and mom when she was sixty five. She’s outlived all her siblings and a couple nieces and nephews. A couple brothers were lost in the Pacific in WWII. A nephew in Korea and another in Iraq. Almost lost a grand daughter to ovarian cancer. I can’t imagine how…

THERE IS

Of course it’s not unique - it’s the result of joining the engines of two customer cars (that had just come in for an oil service) together

Oh, I’m sorry.  I conflated a bunch of the syllables and jumped to a conclusion.

As a woman, I can tell you that men who “rage quit” games “rage do” a lot of other things too.

Could it possibly be that as gaming becomes more and more mainstream it would attract more batshit, insane,no-recourse white people whom tend to turn to abject violence?

Your theory is pretty sound and has some academic grounding. A group trying to induct a recruit into adopting their outlook will adopt rituals, beliefs, or mannerisms that clash with objective reality and social norms in order to create tests for the recruit. Depending on how the recruit responds, they are punished or…

The problem is that we are now seeing that “rage quit” smashing being mocked and laughed at, as if it prods them on to more.

I think that’s entirely solid based on what I experienced with my relative. They started dressing like the classic Neo-Nazi (red suspenders, Dr.Martens) which marked them out. They would come over to our house to make us see the light (i.e. the Holocaust didn’t happen! And even if it did, there weren’t even six…

I will attest to this. My relative-turned-Neo Nazi was a directionless 19 year old who always had trouble with belonging. They gave him a ride home and soon enough he went with them out to their bonfires. They fed the rage inside of him and turned it against minorities. Just like a cult, they isolate you further from…

Yeah, supposedly she’s been boning the head of Tiffany’s security for years. They have a big store in the lobby of the Trump Towers, so she just went down in the elevator when she wanted some. 

But did the gamers stand for the national anthem before the tournament started.

Shooting in area where guns aren’t allowed: “See? Gun bans don’t work!”

The thing that I don’t get is how... normal all of this was for people of the Boomer and older generations. Like... people just accepted that there were teachers/priests/authority figures who were “creeps” who preyed on children. And all our parents/grandparents did was just warn their own kids to “Stay away from Mr.…
