  • I’d like to remind everyone here that, while he was laying the groundwork for the current political climate of the U.S., he had 3 daughters and two wives. He’s old enough that the upper left part of his left leg is paralyzed due to polio.

    We are seeing a resurgence of both polio and measles, thanks to men like this — who got to live full lives while fucking us all over.

    Cheer for his death if you must, he has already won.



  • A few things:

    Words mean individual words

    Correct, we have another word called ‘letters’. As it pertains to this instance, when you take the letters of the word ‘apple’ and rearrange them alphabetically — they are no longer a word. Unless you would accept aelpp as a spelling of apple.

    1. I sincerely doubt this is the first time this child has seen the term alphabetical order, I would be inclined to think the child is a clever smartass depending on the individual.

    2. Either way, the situation is very simple to handle without breaking the childs self esteem.

    ‘I totally understand why you came to the conclusion you did, and you did write the letters in alphabetical order! However, the instructions say to ‘write the words in alphabetical order’. Try again, I bet you’ll get 100%!’

    The child is most likely just wrong. Teaching them to think critically about their failures is not a problem. Treating them as if failure is some pit they need to forever keep from falling into definitely is, and not helping the child learn to navigate failure is infinitely more detrimental.

    Edit: Nothing is more aggravating than being challenged by bleeding hearts who don’t have enough blood left for their brains. Especially when I take the time to break down why their misplaced empathy is wasted only to receive zero response. Cowardly behavior, truly — children will be left anxiety ridden and logically broken if exposed to your methods.
















  • Yes, admittedly I go through cycles of churning through content. There was a brief period some months ago when his videos were… still clickbait-y but the information provided in them was actually news. Now it’s mostly just a circlejerk about how bad the Trump admin is which, yes I think we can all agree with that. What I dislike about him is how he leverages his platform to, as I said, monologue with unending eye contact. I have since unsubscribed, yet the algorithm sure does want me to keep seeing his videos.

    To question of ‘Do people wear this title willingly?’, yes he absolutely does — he makes sure to remind his audience regularly in his monologues.

    There are content providers like Meidas Touch that I think are… good. At this point in my life I’m extremely skeptical of anything that tries to send me a message, which is probably a valuable thing to live by if it weren’t so god damned exhausting. Which I think is the point regarding the bad actors trying to undermine public trust in news organizations.

    I appreciate you taking the time to write your message. It is refreshing to know that, even if mine is colored by my personal frustrations, that there are people who share my state of mind. I’ll have to watch the discussion between Stewart and Amanpour.
