dijon du jour posted:My problem with it is how it seems to equate emotional abuse (which the writer seemed to be tipping into with her hamburger screed) and criticism/"nagging", though I will admit the equivalence is more implied than anything. It's entirely possible to criticize and/or nag someone without being abusive. It's also possible to be abusive when doing so. This happens with both men and women, and understanding how to communicate criticism properly is incredibly important. The hamburger screed ventures into abuse when she takes it from a minor mistake (where the relevant data of fat percentage wasn't supplied, and isn't something a non-cook would check) to a tirade about how clearly he doesn't care about her or how she feels because he never checked the label of the ground beef that she buys. That's absurd. I've spoken to friends whose boyfriends have pulled similar poo poo over being bought the "wrong" concert tickets, or the wrong food, or whatever else. It's a bad way to handle things in a relationship, and if taken to extremes can definitely result in am abusive situation.

dijon du jour posted:My problem with it is how it seems to equate emotional abuse (which the writer seemed to be tipping into with her hamburger screed) and criticism/"nagging", though I will admit the equivalence is more implied than anything. I think ultimately the whole thing is coming across differently to different people. I've seen it posted by women who then say that they have been doing the same thing, which is great if it's actually causing people to rethink how they're treating their spouses. However the "nagging housewife" is a pretty broad stereotype that needs to die. Actually, similar to that, someone recently posted this bad joke about nagging wives as an example of how men are being subjugated and feminists aren't out to stop this from happening. He literally equated the plight of victims of sex trafficking with dudes being told they can't visit a strip club after someone told him that it was just a bad joke. quote:Hey guys, I'm going to Saudi Arabia so I can buy a trafficked teenage runaway and keep her as a gently caress pig in my basement and abuse her rear end in a top hat whenever I feel like it. Hey don't get mad I'm just joking. and he had this to say about the show "Everybody Loves Raymond" quote:Do you remember that sitcom Everbody Loves Raymond? The entire show was about a man who is dominated and abused by his wife. But hey, it's funny, and no one complains. If this joke were about how a man dominates his wife, and the wife was making the joke, some people might call it a cry for help. But this, this is funny. Haha. And he's currently on a roll with that "ENVIRONMENTALISTS PROTESTING BIG OIL WITH PRODUCTS MADE FROM OIL" macro where his main argument is that a kayak is a luxury item and if you own one and use it to protest big oil you are a hypocrite.

Thread is literally getting into the same domestic about 70/30 v. 80/20. Only one thing can prevent it, and it's worse than the disease. IT'S A MINI LL101!   But when those unelected judges overthrow the will of the people...   Perhaps caring for people during the time they are sentient should be more important than political point scoring.  More dead babbies.    The second one, as long as it's only token donations to the 'deserving poor'. And not the ones with TVs or microwaves.  Saying this analogy is good is like saying I ate a lot of both as a child.  And once they are lured like moths to the flame if we all cover our bullets in pig fat and our bodies in gay pornography then...   And these tents also come from society.  Presented without comment.

Never not seen it, although it's usually "market ground beef" which is a mix of all the other leftover trimmings. Which was the joke comment, the mix makes it taste way better and most of the fat renders out, if there's not enough fat to start with it gets too dry. Ever since I was told by a chef that 80/20 was the minimum and never use a single 'type' like ground sirloin or chuck, you want the mix of different cuts, never went back. They shrink like crazy tho.

They are Tridentine Catholics which is a similar religion to the Duggars Quiverfull movement. He's looking for a girl who is also Tridentine AND can tolerate his terrible personality. He's a tall, fat, conservative, ammosexual with a unibrow. He constantly shares terrible memes and then myself and one of his other friends have to correct the distortions. Despite the fact that he's not from England he supports UKIP and wants a UKIP-esque party. He is a member of "The Truth About Guns" FB group and shares their memes all the time. Recently he shared a meme from TTaG that was from Britain First which is a UKIP affiliated Right Wing group that's about one step away from being the UK version of the KKK. Even other members of TTaG were annoyed that white supremacist memes were being shared, but did this stop my cousin from sharing, no!!! We have family that lives in England which is where his interest in English politics comes from. They are also liberal and find his conservative views pretty abhorrent, which made for a fun trip 2 years ago when he went over there and pretty much was like "Yup America is superior to this country in every way." About a year ago he went on a tirade about the "entitlement nation", I wouldn't have cared except I know for a fact that shortly before that he had to move out of his apartment because he couldn't afford the rent, and moved back into his folks basement where he lived rent free and they provided all his food. About 2 years ago I considered offering him the extra room in my wife and I's apartment. I thought that maybe getting him out of comfort zone and forcing him to interact with different types of people would be good for him, but my wife can't stand him so she nixed that idea. The only saving grace is I live in KS and he lives in WI (and thinks Scott Walker is great and will be the next President) so I don't have to see him much.

To be fair, I think that's accumulated wealth rather than revenue, which would be marginally more believable. Plus, the Rothschilds are an old and presumably large banking family, so I would not be surprised if between all the 8th cousins three times removed the extended family actually is worth a trillion or so, or more once you start adding in "Hyphen-Hyphen-Blueblood Rothschild

Except Bran didn't die and him losing his ability to walk is a major plot point. I'm sure this is why you stopped watching GoT, though! GoT spoilers: the latest scene is annoying because 1) it didn't happen in the books, and 2) it doesn't seem to serve anything plot-wise. We know Ramsay is a sadist, Reek hates Ramsay enough from the flaying incident, and Sansa certainly doesn't need any more reason to hate the Boltons. It was just a bad scene that really didn't further anything other than "woo rape!"

 "Most people who are against same sex marriage have never been divorced" just loving blew me away. This isn't the first post that he's talked about "playing on the ignorance of the masses" and I'm wondering who that's coming from. Probably the same people who trot out "low information voters". He's somewhat right with his last comment, but it's not to fire me up, but to post them here.  The OP is all over the place. Totally against hatred and bigotry, but then drops Good 'ole Al and Jesse in as the realbigots. Al Dente doesn't agree, we do have a race problem! Caused by a corrupt government stepping away from God! (oh  ). And it goes on and on with mush mouthed garbage. To be fair to the OP, the following post(which he commented on) is what I think sparked that weird mess of a post.

Since it's not in the books we don't know what it will end up meaning in the show. I also don't think anyone who watched it could really get "woo rape!" from that scene. And whether they show it or not, Sansa marrying Ramsay means Ramsay was going to consummate the marriage to make it official, with or without her permission. It's the predictable result of Sansa going back to Winterfell and Ramsay being who he is. So either they show it on the periphery like they did, or not show it and have Sansa not changed despite being raped, or not show it and have Sansa suddenly change without an on screen reason for it. I understand why it's getting the attention it's getting, it's the most popular show on TV, but I think it's a little premature to judge if it was terrible thing for the show to do because we don't know how they will go forward.

They're obscenely wealthy so of course at least one of them is a greedy poo poo getting up to some unsavory stuff. But assuming they are who really runs the world and are playing eleven-dimensional chess that all the Jews are in on? That's...a bit of a stretch.
