  so a long time acquaitance on facebook posted… 

  so a long time acquaitance on facebook posted on his wall that “i’m super into jordan peterson and the incel movement. they pose deep questions about society”

  I had to do multiple double takes.. is he saying they are worth examining to see how they arose and how to correct/eradicate it, or is he saying they are valid?

  he oipened the post by a supposed quote to jordan peterson: “why not?” – he claims it’s “so deep”

  so instead of reading the infuriating set of 5 links he posted along with it, I just googled “jordan peteron why not”, and didn’t find the source but found this curious article:

  https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/putting-monsterpaint-onjordan-peterson/550859/

  i’m surprised, because it’s the progressive zine the atlantic
  but the writer, who is not a guest columnist – apparently he writes for the atlantic – argues that
  1 jordan peterson is misunderstood
  2 in this particular interview, he was not trying to insinuate anything problematic
  3 we have lost our etiquette of a good debate and by being so aggressive with jordan peterson, the host has lost credibility

  at first i was like “huh”

  then i read a bit the quoted lines

  yeah, not really

  the host asked jordan peterson
  “is the state of things fine as they are?”
  peterson says “no”, followed by “but men do more engineering, and women do more nursing”.
  yeah bro that’s not an example on the topic of the question. peterson is steernig the topic to neutralize the attack
  the writer is displaying classic behavior of the alt-right playbook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xGawJIseNY&list=PLJA_jUddXvY7v0VkYRbANnTnzkA_HMFtQ

  i don’t want to watch the interview, because i think i already know peterson is gonna be slimy to the point of driving me angry, but i’m sure the host (Newman) did a fine job.

  > In a statement Friday, Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich said the “new ‘detailed’ inventory list only further proves that this unprecedented and unnecessary raid of President Trump’s home was not some surgical, confined search and retrieval,” characterizing the search as a “SMASH AND GRAB.”

  Lol they should be thankful that
  1) no bomb was used to blow up any part of the building structure like they do in LA
  2) No one in the household was shot to death

  I was reading Prop 28 opposition and saw that the LA Times editorial opposed it.

  I’m sure they make a series of interesting points in their argument. But this one quoted line is a particularly bad take:

  > What happens if the student population plummets in future years while the number of disabled elderly people grows?

  Uh, then we change laws to reflect the changed reality. It’s as if people wanted to create brand-new laws in the 1910’s regarding car accidents and what happens if a car driver hits a person, etc, and people objecting to those laws from being made, saying “well we are all gonna be flying in spaceships in the future anyway. No need to regulate cars.”

  > Am I still considered a dreamer even though I’m an old woman and all of my dreams have died ? :peepoHmm~1:

  humans are peculiar organisms that live in the present but also in the future
  if they lived in the present only, the realization that there is no food in front of them at that very moment would drive them anxious
  because the future is part of them – knowledge of where you will eat your next meal, and the next day, and even the simplest future planning – it is that you are a dreamer

  so your dreams are not yet dead 💀
  your revised dreams just happen to better reflect the oppression of the working class under capitalism :yonghuh:

  I crossed the street during Walker green light
  Two cars turned in front of me
  1. A car coming from the opposite direction, making a right turn
  2. A car coming from my left, making a right turn
  A third car coming behind me also tried to turn left ahead of me but I managed to walk ahead of it

  a latino man who uses the N word, thinks racial justice is about “not offending people”, laughs at progressive politics, spreads right-wing hyperbole about crime stats in black communities in south chicago and gets annoyed at protests to no end
  is saying
  “i’m not gonna support abortion”
  “you keep protesting needlessly in downtown chicago where there are no republicans and you will lose supporters”
  as a threat
  i fail to see what the threat consists of

  hmm.. i don’t get the argument

  also, the line “businesses don’t mind giving frequent flyer miles to their employees as it’s a tax-free benefit” makes little sense. whether or not the frequent flyer mile is taxed or not shouldn’t be too relevant when giving it to their employees. It’s not like it counts as a charitable donation where the company is getting deductions

  I felt Chavo del ocho was such a sad show
  It’s an empty world
  With just 6 neighbors
  Bickering in that little corner of the city
  Which seems to be the only time-space in existence in that universe
  I was 12 and I was watching it with my brother on weekdays 6pm waiting for parents to come back home and the show was making me feel empty inside

  a lot of shows made me feel empty in those years
  like gatchamen
