@BornAlchemist @AlanJLSmith @jimmycarr Who are the good ones?

@AlanJLSmith @jimmycarr There are lots of good ones talking to young men. But they’re not in the doc.

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix? As the Dad of a 17 year old son, I think @jimmycarr is spot on. What do you think?

@AlanJLSmith @jimmycarr I was told the future is female.

@hk75928 @SaltyBitch_52 So what? Just because something is legal doesn’t make it wise. People still negotiate, evaluate and make decisions about what contracts to enter into and which ones to leave.

@SaltyBitch_52 Most people don’t realize that it’s legal to fire anyone with no reason. Now there is exceptions to this. If she really feels like she was wrongfully terminated then she should reach out to the proper resources available instead of going on social media.

This girls co-worker put in a three week notice for PTO for her sister's upcoming wedding that she had to travel for. It was approved by the manager but two days before the girls departure, she's asked if she can change her plans because they need her for a client presentation. She obliviously can't because flights and hotels are already paid for and non-refundable, so she goes to her sisters wedding. When she gets back from her trip, she's called into HR and told that she's being fired for abandoning her responsibilities at work when before her trip, she had never once been written up and did everything they asked of her. She plays back the TEAM video where her manager is asking her to cancel her approved plans to the HR person and they said they would get back with her but they never do. Have you ever experienced a situation like this or heard of if happening to other employees?

@constans @SaltyBitch_52 They said they’re firing her because she abandoned her job. She demonstrated that she didn’t. If it didn’t matter, then why did they provide the inaccurate explanation?

@SaltyBitch_52 My would a recording of the discussion matter? Employment is typically at-will. If the manager wants to fire someone, and HR and the manager’s manager are fine with it, then the person loses their job

@vinz77 @peterboghossian Peter is among the best at avoiding the presumption that anybody should trust him.

@peterboghossian Coincidentally, that's also the reason nobody trusts you or energúmenos like James Lyndsay...

One of the main reasons the public does not trust our institutions is because they are not worthy of trust. They are not pluralistic. They are ideologically captured and that capture taints research, outcomes, methodology, and completely destroys trust. As it should.

@jan_c_behrends @realMaalouf How does this change anything?

You are being untruthful: The court did not base the reduced sentence on “mental stress from a boat trip” alone. The official psychiatric assessments (two independent expert reports accepted by the judge) diagnosed a pre-existing paranoid disorder (described as “disturbo paranoide”, “disturbo psicotico con caratteristiche paranoidi”, or “personalità paraschizoide/paranoidi”) that was amplified or triggered by his migration experiences. 12-yr sentence was upheld by Cassazione Court 2 times against prosecutors appeal.

Italian family reacted with rage after Nigerian migrant Khalid De Greata was sentenced to only 12 years in prison for killing their father. The judge gave him a reduced sentence due to "mental stress from a boat trip.” "In 12 years, I'll kill him myself!”

@luisemperu @peterboghossian @wil_da_beast630 This book is a start but I'll warn you, its not easy. It is like a skill that requires lots of practice and even masters aren't always successful. amazon.com/How-Have-Impos…

@peterboghossian @wil_da_beast630 Will gladly wait for your next YouTube videos explaining how to change the mind of a person like this

The helpless white guy with the glasses is heavily online today, refusing to change his positions.

@peterboghossian Ordered. Thanks for the rec

Highest recommendation. This should be mandatory reading for anyone who can read.

@dreamingElvis @BlueSkyForDays @EricsElectrons @CptAncapistan I don’t think religious extremists are the only ones that fit the description. Religious moderates do as well I think. In my experience Christians are often the most harsh to their own. The thing that I’ve always found interesting the religious character of the woke movement.

@_ncko @BlueSkyForDays @EricsElectrons @CptAncapistan Possibly, but rightwing Christian religious extremism is more a stereotype pushed by the left to avoid addressing questions posed by religious morality. E.G just call them fundamentalist whackos rather than meaningfully debate“Is abortion murder?”

This is an amazing video, and it basically just confirms every suspicion I had about how little politically-active left-wingers think things through. It’s zero. It really is just, “I have to be rabidly adherent to what I’m told or I’m not a good person.”

@BlueSkyForDays @EricsElectrons @CptAncapistan Religion

@EricsElectrons @CptAncapistan What's the equivalent of this on the Right?

@peterboghossian It’d be interesting if the BJJ guy just gave their opponent whatever position they wanted and submitted him from there. Like that guy tried to double leg him and the BJJ sprawled really well. What if didn’t? What if he let the guy double leg him? That would be fun to see.

He punched from the bottom. Lol

@peterboghossian I wasn’t able to vote but YES

Reid wants to give the cameraman 15 consecutive minutes to question all of our future guests. Should we:

@Goomba_1985_35 @carlisledagain @Mr_Husky1 You literally can’t seem to understand the idea. You think it is triggering people. Those are the terms you think in and you can’t see beyond that. To explain this to you would require too much effort. We’d have to do thought exercises and hypotheticals for a while first.

@_ncko @carlisledagain @Mr_Husky1 Obviously, it triggered you, Karen Try responding again, but this time expand your vocabulary.

Yes, I left the cart there. Right in the spot. On purpose. And no, I’m not “sorry” about it either. I just spent my money, stood in line forever, dealt with screaming kids and people moving like NPCs, and somehow you expect me to finish the experience by doing unpaid labor? Be serious. And the way some of you act like returning a cart is some heroic act of moral superiority is actually embarrassing. Congrats, you walked 10 extra steps, do you want a medal or a parade? If a random cart in a parking lot ruins your day, maybe the problem isn’t me… maybe you’re just way too invested in things that don’t matter.

@Goomba_1985_35 @carlisledagain @Mr_Husky1 Low IQ response

The shopping cart meme is peak Karen energy. Acting like you can diagnose someone’s moral character over a parking lot chore is ridiculous. Why are you so butt hurt and triggered over a shopping cart in the first place? It is a store tool, part of their business model, and they literally plan and staff for collecting them. Customers are not unpaid employees. Real character is how you treat people when it costs you something, not whether you walked a cart back after a long day, bad weather, screaming kids, a bad knee, or an unsafe lot. Plenty of great people leave a cart. Plenty of awful people return them. Your little parking lot purity test proves nothing except how badly you want to feel superior over something trivial. If a cart sitting in a parking lot ruins your day, maybe look in the mirror instead of lecturing strangers. Society has bigger problems than whether someone did ten extra steps so a self appointed cart cop could feel morally validated.

@ScottIngram334 @MatthewKatzer @DerrickEvans4WV @RichardC75736 OK go 41 mph in a regular bike on the side walk and see if it doesn’t cause similar problems. What are we talking about here?

@MatthewKatzer @DerrickEvans4WV @RichardC75736 Fair but even that is possible without an ebike if you ride often. Not sustainable for long, but not a rare occurrence.

Who the heck has the right of way in this situation? I live out in the country so my head automatically goes to the vehicle having the right of way. As fast as this e-bike is going it should have just been on the road & treated as a motorcycle.

@peterboghossian In elementary school I was taught to resist peer pressure. They labeled it “peer pressure” and gave us tactics. This was in an effort to prevent from using drugs. This seems like the opposite of that. It’s leveraging peer pressure.

I just received this interesting email.

@peterboghossian This is insightful

@ki676love @marshallpriddy @Checco_Estatal @uricohenisrael And I’m pointing out that you had to change the analogy from spaghettios to noodles in order to support the false narrative.

@_ncko @marshallpriddy @Checco_Estatal @uricohenisrael I’m saying people think pasta and noodles came from Italy and it didn’t just like cowboys didn’t come from Mexico. The core came from Spain and not an exaggeration.Gouchos 3000 miles in Brazil and Argentina away are cowboys too.

AOC: “My favorite part is when they said that the Spanish language came from Spain. I believe that the Mexicans would like to have a word”

@ki676love @marshallpriddy @Checco_Estatal @uricohenisrael Spaghettios?

@_ncko @marshallpriddy @Checco_Estatal @uricohenisrael Did noodles from China or did they come Italy?

@marshallpriddy @Checco_Estatal @uricohenisrael My brief search on this topic leaves me with the impression that American Cowboys are descended from Vaqueros who adapted and built upon methods they took from Spain. This makes it seem like “Cowboys came from Spain” is an exaggeration. Like saying Spaghettios came from Italy.

How is this incredibly straightforward analogy lost on you? The roots of both cowboy culture AND Spanish came to Mexico from Spain. To suggest that the cowboy culture that originated in Spain didn't come from Spain because there was an intermediate step in Mexico is similar to suggesting Spanish comes from Mexico rather than Spain. Hang your head in shame for being incapable of seeing the similar dynamic at work.
