When your TDS is so bad, you're willing to sacrifice a respectable job and comfortable income. I applaud your level of commitment ma'am.

On my way home from DC Wednesday, I sat two seats behind Eric Holder on the airplane (and on the ground at LGA he used the urinal next to me, and same for the sink). It really wasn't that difficult to follow my mother's maxim: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Clearly, some people never learned that lesson. It exists on both sides of the ideological spectrum, but at least for the last several years, it appears far more violent/virulent when coming from the left.

My guess is she will soon be exploring employment opportunities in Conn and Mass...

Yeah. I see a lot of stuff that my FB friends post that are not very nice about political candidates or general liberals that do dumb liberal stuff in the news. Yes, posting “unflattering” stuff about your ideological “enemies” is not the realm of any side. But as you said, the level of virulence (Even from those posts by my liberal friends) seem to be a notch or two higher than from my more conservative friends.

I honestly think the vitriol is about equal.

I guess that could depend on our individual spheres of influence. I don’t see it equal. On both sides, I see the petty, the childish, the name calling, sure...that’s equal. But in my sphere, I don’t see conservative/libertarian types that are the largest demographic, wishing people dead. That’s next level vitriol, there. I’m not naive enough to believe there’re 0 instances of it from loonies on the right, I’m just saying in my window on the world, I don’t see it.

 

[chipbennett]

I honestly think the vitriol is about equal.

The incivility, yes. The cancel culture, yes.

The wishing harm/death on others, no.

So who was there first? Who violated the unspoken rules of Urinal Etiquette? At least you both washed your hands.

 

[chipbennett]

I was there first! I even went around to the other side of the bathroom, to an entirely empty row of urinals. I'm doing my business, glance left, and the mustache was right there.

She's lucky Trump isn't literally Hitler or a Putin protege, or she would already be in the basement of Lefortovo or the Prinz Albrecht Strasse
