All of his pure idiocy too. Acting like drawing sharpie lines on a map for the path of a hurricane will convince anyone not to see what their eyes show them. Covfefe announcements. Press conferences at the Four Seasons Landscaping while their makeup drips down their faces.
Anyone else old enough to remember when misspelling potato or using a word tone of voice at a really was enough to end a politician's career? What a different universe.
My mom had a stroke that was caught early, and she was this way in the first couple years afterwards. I had to ask her to stop talking to me so I could read a menu, and she was self-aware about it. She was like "I'm sorry. Just tell me. I just have to speak my thoughts into existence these days."
Link approves this comment.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's offensive, but I can agree it's disrespectful. Respect is shown by the lengths someone goes through to demonstrate someone/ something is important and held in high regard.
Examples:
When you are talking to someone you respect, you demonstrate it by making a point to convey that you are listening to them and thinking about what they are saying.
When a tragedy happens, we often show respect by holding a moment of silence where we interrupt whatever we are doing to hold a moment to think about the victims.
Similarly, a traditional way of demonstrating respect for people's contributions in a given field is through an awards ceremony where attendees both given their attention and dress in formal attire to mark the significance and importance of the event.
Thank you! I had no idea about most of that.
Agree. But a question: As someone who used Twitter for 5 minutes (and then stopped because I realized it was making me too angry), what is the mechanism of monetizing a Twitter account? Kickbacks for getting people to click links (aka advertising)?
I think you are wrong about how off-putting your tears are.
In my experience, when someone loses someone they care about, it is comforting for them for other people to be sad and feel the loss as well. I think that if instead of focusing on your own tears and your embarrassment when you get emotional, if you still focused on the other person while you were crying, they wouldn't feel obligated to comfort you. Then they could just continue to share with you and be comforted by the fact that you empathized and were moved.
When my brother and SiL had a stillborn baby, I went to visit them. They genuinely seemed somewhat relieved to see me crying while we visited together.
Your phrasing there is intentionally misleading.
The wiki you link discusses 20 people of obviously mixed race, with half? of those likely parentages seeming coercive. 'Many many' sounds like dozens.
I guess you mean that the number is rapes likely far exceeds the number of people conceived from rapes? The wiki also mentions guests expecting sexual gratification from slaves, but not whether or not those expectations were met. "Overseeing" any activity, kind of implies you're managing said activity, seeing it through to it's completion. Looking the other way would certainly be complicit, but it's not the same thing as commanding and ensuring those rapes happened.
Also, I set the bar intentionally low for zombie Washington. Child rape was the bar. There's no amount of revision of American history that has lowered Washington to Trump levels of evil yet. And I further wrote couldn't rape kids with the expectation that zombie dicks probably fall off.
So anyway, zombie Washington still gets my vote over Trump.
Zombie Washington probably wouldn't/ couldn't rape children, so yes. I'll give it to you.
Sigh. Fair.
17 year olds still tend to be physically less developed... But even if they're not, if you're more than a handful of years older than the 17 year old, having a sexual relationship with them is still exploitative since they're still mentally (both emotionally and reasoning abilities) immature.
I am surprised that most of the jobs for your industry are on Facebook. I don't even know how to find job reqs on Facebook... I don't actually know how to post on LinkedIn either though. But most of the job reqs I see that are a decent fit are on LinkedIn, and I've heard of a lot of the new start-ups in my industry from LinkedIn. ... If you work in engineering for defense or space companies, I'd start with making a profile on LinkedIn.
