I’m really sorry for upsetting you. I genuinely don’t know what I did but I don’t think I’m against you on this issue as much as you think I am. I’ll stop commenting here now. I apologize again.

I think the calorie counting issue is a bit more nuanced than some people give credit for. It’s so easy just to focus on the numbers in a zero-sum game way, but that’s not always a good idea. I realize this isn’t a risk for most people, but counting calories transitioned into anorexia for me almost immediately. I was…

The fact that everyone was so ready to forget all his past fuckups, from Sarah Palin on down (and up), when he supposedly “saved” us from the healthcare bill...I am past the point of being upset about how short and shallow the American political memory is.

Damn! His followers are majority bots. Why even bother asking for more?

Whaa? I understand being upset but this is kind of an unfair response. I was loudly telling people it was a problem too. I didn’t shush anyone. I just don’t think that complaining was enough. I think there needed to be much, much more action. Did you organize a protest and travel to DC? Did you organize a general…

People are so damn selfish. It is crazy to me that this needs to be explained. Oh, you’re “going swimming with dolphins?” You’re “meeting a baby tiger?” No, you’re exploiting a wild animal for your own entertainment. But whatever, right? It’s fun! Yay fun! Fun is the most important thing!

I’m convinced Jack and Biz gave him a personal safeguard to block any tweet with that word in it. No way we’ve come this far without him letting it loose.

“I thought everyone was so woke now”
Can’t tell if this is irony given your username...

Yeah the way people apologize always says a lot. Is it a flim flam or is it an actual “I take responsibility for this and am fixing it” kind of thing?

“many fewer people knowing that there is a show called The Ranch”
How do you know this is true? Netflix doesn’t release their viewership stats yet, do they? Could be that The Ranch has a much higher viewership than House of Cards. That would track with the general trend of critical darlings being way less popular than…

Obviously. That he thought this was a chatty thing to say to a random woman is super alarming regardless of how he interpreted the situation.

She’s actually probably made most of her money from merchandising, touring and getting a book deal. YouTube alone isn’t that lucrative unless you get sponsorships for videos, which I don’t think she does all that much.

Prestige, multiple revenue streams, a more traditionally legitimate path to take in pursuing other projects, greater exposure, better resources, etc. There’s plenty of reasons for YouTube creators to want to leap to other platforms. There is much less incentive for other platforms to help them make that leap. YouTube…

Now Colleen can get back to making clickbait titles for her videos, namedropping her one famous friend, Ariana Grande, and pursuing more emotionally unhealthy romantic relationships.

I truly hate that understanding “the YouTube space” is part of my job.

He could shoot someone on 5th avenue! He said it himself!

Depression doesn’t heal itself, and perceived success doesn’t help either. My heart always breaks when I hear of people his age ending their lives. Suicide is obviously always sad, but I think there’s this assumption that it’s something we all just grow out of or naturally learn to deal with over time. Not so.

No one thought Donald Trump would win the election. What might have happened if we relied less on wishful thinking as far as that was concerned? I don’t think “dour” is really an accurate characterization of my point of view, though it is a telling word choice. My argument is simply that an emotionally unsatisfying…

She removed all doubt when she married Kid Rock. And when she started dating Julian Assange.

Ok. I get that you’re looking for a ray of hope and don’t want to take that from you. But at the same time, you aren’t working from actual fact here. You’re making assumptions based on what you’d like to see happen, and my view is that this exact attitude is doing more harm than good in our society.

They’re both extremely disturbing. You’re right that there’s no sense in whining about it, but there’s also no sense in acting like it’s normal and acceptable.
