And listen folks, I am sympathetic to the reality that some folks don't have great/any access to mental health, diagnoses can be tricky, sure. Truth.
But if I hear one more person drop the casual "LOL I'm like, SO OCD it's ridiculous!" I'm going to lose it.
@conzmoleman
The folks who are absolutely OBSESSED with rampant pedophilia as the most dire, pressing issue we need to all be concerned with also immediately label anybody they don't like pedo when it serves them. With no thought that it maybe dilutes the term.
@LegendaryLass
@jzux
I'll add on to this, and this might be a more controversial take, even: candy corn is, really, just fine. Shouldn't be as polarizing as it is.
@ErinInTheMorn
Ok so... if I, a cis dude, throw on this costume that is meant to be a representation of men's work clothes but is designed and tailored to be worn by a cis woman... could I be breaking the law?
Sounds like a fucking nightmare of legislation.
@jzux
Oh. People who abuse service animal accommodations to bring their pet into spaces where pets are not allowed are bad people and should feel bad about themselves.
@GBBranstetter
The folks saying this absolutely know trans folks with gray hair. They just don't know they're trans. And if they did, they'd just say that they're one of the good ones.
@conzmoleman
Right. But they truly just believe that it's an unimpeachable claim. Because, if anybody defends the person, it becomes "well, are you DEFENDING the pedo? Sounds like something a PEDO would do!", begging the question. It's vile.
Am I just incredibly sensitive, or are people truly just not at all aware how goddamn rude it is to blast a full volume video from their cell phone while out in public? It's absolutely infuriating.
@hannibalsexwife
The "Neurotypical" label as a pejorative has reached the peak. People are just scared of like, other people, at this point. It's nuts.
@2burnttoo
I'm a gringo who lived abroad for a few years, my Spanish is pretty good.
More than once I've been told by the typical boring American, upon hearing me speak Spanish "wow, you don't look at all like those OTHER Mexicans!"
Uh. Lot to unpack there...

You're misunderstanding what's going on so completely that it's genuinely difficult to figure where to begin responding.
Ok.
@Ofanichan
@YakovPettersson
It's so annoying how great at brand discipline folks on the right are. I'm not even joking. "How do we smear some people we don't like? Let's convince people that they diddle kids! Who likes a pedo?" I hate how well they're able to march in lockstep.
@RonFilipkowski
So every single person who rides a bicycle often has suffered the dreaded 0 mph fall. It's humbling.
I'm not even a Biden stan but the real story here is how the guy just bounced back up and was fine, at his age. Credit where it's due, that's impressive.

Former bartender here. I can say unequivocally that crossworders/readers at the bar are in no way uncommon, and generally really easy and pleasant customers.
@BrandyLJensen
Do the bombing-justified-at-all-costs not understand that it's going to be really awkward to defend when Hamas is inevitably NOT eliminated?
@2burnttoo
Oh and I should add that I've never been to Mexico, I learned Spanish in Argentina. But the folks up here pretty much assume that that's the same place. Sigh.
@ElyKreimendahl
Years ago in a small hipster town, there was a woman probably around like 30 who went prematurely gray. Some of my friends would chuckle about it in secret, meanwhile I'm sitting over in the corner like, "well, that's the hottest GD thing I've ever seen..."
@illjoy_
Still wild that in the far future with space psychics and worms and feudal lords and everything, there's a guy who's just named...
Duncan Idaho.
@Esqueer_
I do think, to some degree, some folks on the left are going out of their way to make very effusive, sympathetic statements about Cruz right specifically to make this contrast more stark.
I'm not saying the thoughts aren't genuine, but a teeny part of me finds it performative.
@DreamLeaf5
Have we all seen the actual video of
#2
here? She's in the middle of a lively conversation in a super loud environment, and doesn't come off as at all hysterical. She seems pretty cool, actually.

@joncoopertweets
There are absolutely political positions that should end a marriage. "Hi I don't believe that black people should exist" is a political view. I'm sure your enlightened centrism feels very good, but there are times that "agree to disagree" doesn't apply.

There are 100% other photos that can be matched to this guys appearance that will be able to match his face to his race number. Dude is going to have a bad day.

Yeah! I only recently discovered that three toed and two toed sloths are effectively not related at all. Convergent evolution. So wild. Who would have thought that THAT would be such a successful design.
@coconutlime
@marcellacomedy
I always wonder what the call sheets must look like for unusual looking characters. Do they pull punches? Or do they just say "Hey, we're looking for a guy with a fucked up face?"
@sammajammaz
As a dude who bartended for like a decade, it was always funny seeing guys at the bar get super awkward when I'd make small talk with them. I'm like, my guy, she's not hitting on you either, this is what we do...

@GBBranstetter
I read the comment in the absolute wrong context. I promise y'all I try to be an ally. Put my foot in my mouth, this time. I'll wear my shame.
@mrnastynodrama
In high school a couple of the cool kids from my Boston area high school went to Ireland for spring break.
Legend has it they walked into a pub, declared their Irish-ness, and got absolutely pummeled.
I don't care if it's true, I want to believe.
@jzux
I inexplicably have an image of McConnell just nonchalantly downing everything, completely calm, no reaction to the heat whatsoever. He makes eye contact with Evans the whole time.
@holy_schnitt
On the flip side, really benign compliments? Awesome.
Last person I was maybe dating early on told me I had a "kind voice". I was walking on air for like a week.
@ElyKreimendahl
This was in Northampton Massachusetts in like 2010 so if this blows up maybe I'll finally be able to make my move. I ain't holding my breath, ha.

@trixiemattel
Is 2-3 times a day a number you just made up?
Everybody is different and there's obviously variation, but a quick googlin' brings up a whole lot of sources citing numbers higher than that.
Why make such a sweeping statement about strangers' health?
@Gritty20202
I bet the castle doctrine worshippers would love to tell us about how actually, in this particular case, it would no be appropriate for her to shoot the home invader.
@jzux
I really hope I'm not coming off as a "just try stop being sad!" type. I fully acknowledge that mental health care is important, and I'm overall glad that the stigmas are becoming less.
But JFC people, chill, you know?
@MattWalshBlog
Matt, my man. I'm happy for you. For real, congratulations. Twins! lot of work, lot of fun. Good luck.
You do know, I hope, that you could just be gracious, and not dog-whistle malign people who take paternity leave?

@HillaryMonahan
You mean second best selling Irish musical act of all time, loaded recluse Enya who lives in a mansion with millions of cats? That Enya?
I'd say she's still reigning to this day.
@SteamboatUSA
allegedly, years ago before the "Bill Murray Stories" fad started, he would just walk behind the bar during South by Southwest and start bartending. No matter what people ordered, he'd always give them a shot of tequila.
Same vibes.
@MadelinaHorn
@onlineirl_angel
Yeah okay, I've absolutely been dating/living with women who didn't want to get down after heavy meals. It's not about the boner, it's about feeling good in your body at the moment. Thanks for going there immediately, though.
@davenewworld_2
Just because it sometimes comes up, YES, you are allowed to take pictures of peoples' license plates, and NO, you do not have to redact them in the photos! I don't know where this belief started, but it's silly.
@LadyJayPersists
Any time I see "I'm a classical liberal!" I fasten my seatbelt for some absolutely bonkers mental gymnastics that I know are incoming.

When that Red Hot Chili Peppers album came out my mother was VERY upset with me after she learned the name. I had no idea until years later, she wouldn't explain it to me.
@JeffFlake
I don't know, my man, at what point does somebody no longer deserve respect? What does it take? Does civility mean we can't call him out? I'm over the whole 'decency' schtick at this point.
@HarknessWes
@KevinInChains
Yeah I have to agree with the premise of the tweet, but to imply that Homer Simpson wasn't a goddamn renaissance man, burning the candle at both ends sometimes does the guy a serious disservice.

I choose to believe that the PM from Love Actually dated Natalie the secretary for a while before coming to grips with his sexuality. He met Blanc at a fundraiser while Blanc was investigating a wealthy philanthropist. It was NOT love at first sight.

How is she "dictating" anything? She's a pundit, man. She's not elected, she's not an executive or a legislator. You just big mad about what she's saying.
Nothing is being dictated.
