She's so demanding, always telling me what to do and when to do it. No please or thank you. She's so smug, such a know-it-all, like I can't survive without her advice. I can't take being told every move to make and when to make it.

I'm going to end this relationship. I'm breaking up with my GPS.

someone who has directly murdered so many people in developing nations all over the world should be a lot more careful about demanding the death penalty for things

It's not a bother at all. Yes, we are demanding that Blizzard ban a literal nazi and his followers from this version of the game because he is harassing players and developers. And since nothing has been done yet, he is displaying his immunity like a trophy.

I like the garden too, but if its non-profit leadership cannot figure out how to operate without driving the talent out the door, it is untenable in its current form. That’s all there is to it. It had a good run. Let’s stop demonizing people for demanding a decent living. This country fucking sucks.

It is not pandering to tell people who are hurting, frightened or upset that you hear them and want to help.

It is pandering to then claim you're going to help in the exact way they're demanding, even when you know it's unsupported by evidence, suboptimal or impossible to do in practice.

The Venn diagram of media people/think-tank staffers/misc. lanyard types who think other people's kids should take on physically demanding careers and people who think the retirement benefits eligibility age should be increased is a circle. A cursed circle.
I was raised by a nurse with an associates degree and a steel mill electrician. I am not denigrating the value and dignity of blue collar work when I ask how many elite national media staffers are raising future bricklayers themselves.
