Noah is nothing impressive but the Daily Show is still a million times better than the Nightly Show. TDS still has good correspondents and good segments to hold themselves up. TNS sucked in every way other than Larry Wilmore. What they should actually do is have Larry Wilmore replace Trevor Noah.

Now that Trevor Noah has dispensed with the giggling-oh-my-gosh-I-can’t-believe-this-country act, he seems to be hitting his stride. His commentary has more of a bite than it did even a month ago.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I empathise with the locking yourself in your room bit. I was a champ a hiding the the closet/under the bed.

Experts actually instruct people to video tape and photograph evidence of abuse, just so it won’t be a case of he said/she said in court.

There’s a barely contained rage in how he is acting. It’s not just that he is reacting in anger to something (which all people do), but he’s being cruel and intimidating. I don’t know how people can’t see that when a man/woman is enraged and engaging in active intimidation tactics, it’s psychologically abusive (and…

I grew up in an abusive household, as a result of that I have severe PTSD, and my potential abuse antenna is in constant alert. I'm certainly not an abuse expert, but if I ever saw a guy doing what Johnny is doing in that video, I would run for the hills.

I cannot- unless she was shouting “SMASH, JOHNNY! IT’S SO SEXY WHEN YOU SMASH THINGS!” then it’s clearly not “egging on.” What they mean is “Provoking” but they know that sounds bad.

My husband screamed at a garbage bag that broke mid-carry early in our relationship. It was almost a fucking dealbreaker, and I had to explain to him how that was not normal or acceptable behavior (his dad pulled worse shit, so he thought he was normal). He understood and it never happened again. I cannot imagine…

I’m willing to let the occasional rage moment. i.e. My elderly mom just this week ripped out the cutlery drawer and threw it across the floor in a fit of rage. Why? My Dad is in the hospital and my Mom is disabled and she’s unable to do much for herself now (i.e. can’t open a can of soup). So she was really upset,…

He also behaves very much like an abusive alcoholic. I grew up with alcoholic guardians, and this video gave me chills, remembering what I experienced as a kid. I wish there had been camera phones back then.

But, you don’t actually know that is what happened.

Edited or not, which it doesn’t really look like, that video shows him being aggressive for no reason, all while saying “Nothing’s wrong” everytime she asked him what’s up.

I totally think avery did it. I don’t think dassey should be in jail. It’s too coincidental that the woman who was just at your house turns up dead. I know that if cops think that you commited a crime but they have no evidence they will plant it, and this could be the case but that doesnt mean Avery didn’t do it. I…

I am. This is classic stupid America. Live by the gun, die by the gun. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2) just as one expects a car to function and not randomly blow up and kill you out of the blue the second you drive park it in your driveway after you buy it new off the lot

I’ve never been shot, I put that down to the fact that I stay the fuck away from guns because that what people get shot with. The difference between the car and gun thing, cars are built for transport and guns are for?

I’m not afraid of properly handled guns, because by definition they are being handled properly. But I am reasonably afraid of all real guns being handled by any people in the real world because obviously I can never assume those people will handle their guns properly.

The problem with your “conservatism can never fail it can only be failed” line is that people are involved. People are very often complacent and careless and do stupid, stupid things. Q.E.D., unfortunately for this poor dead woman.

there is no need to be vigilant about presence of a gun, IF vigilance is applied properly to the handling of said gun.

That would not be an issue with Nerf guns. Or bubble guns. Or water pistols. Or the ones with a little flag that says, “Bang!”
