I don’t know why people keep hoping sociopathic old assholes are going to get some moment of awareness and start being nice people just like that

Shocker, narcissistic sociopaths never change. 

Right then, Redfield knew it was over. Trump showed in that moment that he hadn’t changed at all. The pandemic response wasn’t going to change, either.

I read something that suggested a lot of people who flew the last year or so were inexperienced in traveling that way, folks who were taking advantage of the low volume/ cheap flights and their own lack of judgement to fly when other people were not. In addition to not being appropriately cautious about a deadly…

Fat is not a choice, I think decades of modern civilization pretty well shows that.

It seems like there are a few problems with your reasoning though.

God I hate these

You’re ignoring the bit about hyper-aggression and pepper-spraying a family with young children.

Cops claim he was speeding* cops lie

86% is not nearly high enough for me to consider.  I know that’s “typical” use and the commercial I saw said that as directed was in the 90s but....still.  It’s a big nope from me.

After one of his managers told him that a line cook needed to borrow money to get groceries, Whalen was moved to reconsider wages at the company.

“I never watched Mad Men”...but let me tell you all about it.

Don’t watch it if you don’t want to but this take lazy and dead wrong. This show was about the women, not the men. If you are talking to men who think Don Draper is some kind of hero, that’s on you for hanging out with assholes.  Way to let someone else do the critical thinking for you.

Mad Men is good, actually — and my gullible ass fell for this before from purportedly feminist sites like Jezebel who just wrote it off as sexist trash. It’s decidedly not any of that. It shows all of that because it’s realistic about the time period in which it’s set, but IMO they tried hard to not make it feel ~nosta…

I love that show and have watched it through about three times. Her character’s treatment by the men around her was one of the focal points of the show; not in a garish way or one that glamorizes lasciviousness, but her sexualization by those around her (and the ways that she sometimes uses it as a tool) is presented…

“Imagine if she’d joined the Army? It was segregated until 1948.”

Are . . . are hot dogs common airport food?
