Oh no, hes not racist. He’ll openly admit he loves the music black people used to make (talking about blues…) so be can’t be racist right!?

To be fair to him, though he is an idiot and definitely has stupid politics, I don’t know that he’s racist so much as he just hates “hip hop culture”, which is still dumb and he probably just has started generalizing. At least he didn’t seem to come off as racist before he would talk about things like that. But maybe he is racist and hip hop culture just pushed him to break his silence on it who knows he’s still an idiot.

Conservative hero, fake philosopher, and skeezy self-help author Jordan Peterson condones sexual harassment:

Whatever you want to make about his statement about hypocrisy, I don’t hear him say what you hear him say.

He says that women who don’t want to be sexually harassed but wear make-up to work are hypocrites. I consider that to be, at least in part, condoning sexual harassment. Imagine if I said, “Well, that person got raped, but really they shouldn’t complain about it because they wore perfume and makeup.” I bet, and hope, you’d at least think of that as rape-apologetics.

So he can say on the one hand a woman is hypocritical to wear makeup when she doesn’t want sexual harassment in the workplace, and on the other that sexual harassment is not condoned. Those things are not mutually exclusive.

Wrong.

That said, I disagree with his formalistic view and with his particular point here about a woman being hypocritical for wearing make-up.

OK.

I don’t think it’s crazy that some people want to put their best foot first and not make a bad impression. I don’t know if I’d say that’s being dishonest or lying. Just because you’re not necessarily airing all your bad qualities right away doesn’t mean you’re not being yourself. It’s natural to open up more the more you get to know someone. Again, I wouldn’t call that dishonesty.

If you’re months deep in a relationship and you still don’t feel comfortable being open and yourself, that’s not a relationship you should be in, simple as that.

Dom, seeing as we are past 4 months, I have something I’ve been meaning to tell you…

First Frink, now you…

Frink is what I need

Dune is split up into 3 “books”. I told my wife I was getting to the end of book 1 but still didn’t know what was going on, or who these people are, or why I should care. She said she remembered reading Dune once upon a time and couldn’t get into it, and suggested I stop reading it. So I did.

JEDIT: War and Peace is such more interesting, coming back to it after the confusing snoozefest that was Dune.

You and I are enemies now.

I’ll work over his face.

Not what I meant. I meant people should not play weird mind games and lie to each other for the first several months or years of their relationship.

Honestly, you generalize too damn much. You’re starting to sound like a parody of yourself.

Isn’t the whole point of dating to trick someone into thinking you’re more likable than you actually are? I’m just being brutally honest, at least that’s how I see my comments.

No, the point of dating is to find someone who likes you despite your flaws, and vice versa. It’s not about lying to hide your flaws, or at least it shouldn’t be. Better to be upfront and let it end early than drag it out and let it crash and burn much later when your lies are exposed.

This guy dates.

First Ive heard of it. You have a pm

This is far from the first time tfa has been on TV.

HBO doesn’t count. And I’m more surprised at the apparent lack of promotion for it when something like Cartoon Network blitzes ads for Alvin And The Chipmunks:The Road Chip every ten minutes.

Hasn’t tbs been playing it for a while? And why are you arguing against yourself 😛
