gap’s closer now

when I asked him if jewish people in WWII concentration camps were just choosing to be unhappy he was like yes

oof.

that whole strain of “it’s only in your mind” motherfuckers who just outright disregard varieties of concrete evidence… whether from biochemically-etc originated body- and being-related problems all the way through things like the example you gave… I’ve had to deal with a couple of them myself (my can of brainworms include some choice seasonal unfun things) and good god do I often want to boop them on the nose

I was wondering why the name Kevin Roose sounded familiar and ah, right

okay a lot of that is good and all, but here’s the flipside: a lot of these fuckwits outright prey on naïve curiousity. it is one of their biggest feeders for taking in people who don’t yet know any better

and that’s kinda the point. broadly I agree with you, but curiousity is/can be a dangerous thing

(also the reason I asked was the framing of one of your statements, so: Rationalism, big-R specifically. congratulations on learning about some of the worst people around)

everyone else: 🤨

ah, figures. certainly does have more slatescott sauce on it

unhandsome jack

same thing with felon, who has the airbrushed-to-fuck Rogue Boyish Charm press photo that usually goes around, and then Weirdo Creep Making Jumping Xs freak as the reality

every so often, gear techs involved with filming interviews can do silently heroic things

I don’t know if this is a case of that, but given the skin shine from reflections, whoever set this up wasn’t trying overly hard to make him look good. good on 'em
