I dunno if this is like facetious or some more has come out (I've actually been trying to avoid news because it's all so depressing/pathetic). I'm an elementary school teacher and what that guy described is not even noteworthy in terms of weird hosed up poo poo parents do to their kids. I remember reading the thread and thinking, that's dumb, lol. The fact that people are calling it child abuse is insane. how much its blown up is seriously sad. as if there arent more important things in the world

I haven’t listened to Roderick on the Line in years but Roderick being a terrible father (and ex-spouse, and someone who probably has poor impulse control to the point that it really negatively impacts his life) is basically every episode. I thought it was mostly a bit he was doing, but uhhh guess not.

I get the teaching thing though. I taught high school for years. Rich people abuse the poo poo out of their kids, just generally not physically so good luck getting CPS or anyone else to care about it.

I don't mind their superhero reviews but the reviews that have a political component, like Red Scorpion or Time Christ or D'nesh D'souza, are way better

Lol at thinking any of this "John Roderick starved his child for hours" poo poo is real. It reminds me of people losing their poo poo at Felix for doing a bit for like a week. Have we really fallen so far that we can't spot a bit anymore

Roderick is a blowhard but I like the omnibus and I'm glad Ken doesn't care about made up poo poo. Twitter is a hell site and I hope a lesson was learned over the weekend about the futility of chasing clout there

My only exposure to John Roderick was through listening to Friendly Fire. He seemed pretty affable, but he sure likes to hear himself talk.

I stopped listening to Friendly Fire because he was such a Succ Brained moron. Just a total smug dumbass. I'm glad his fellow centrist have destroyed him. gently caress that guy he sucks

The people digging up those tweets were the same ones that would do it to someone who's like "I don't like saying slurs" or banging on how wojacks have hard right origins and thus shouldn't be used, so it was more on how "soyfaced" he sounded like on the original thread + the MBABAB connections and so on. I recall seeing the same faces any time one of the Chapoverse people quotetweeted someone saying that stuff.

Your daughter struggled to work a can opener for a half hour, and you decide to punch it up into a six hour epic trial for some cheap internet points, but because you delved too greedily and too deep pissed hand-wringers found all your garbage jokes from a decade ago and now your account is deleted and the heir-apparent host of Jeopardy is in jeopardy.

i assumed most of the story was exaggerated for effect, like most stupid stories like that. i dont think its humanly possible for two people to spend 6 hours trying to open a can

even then my reaction was "well thats kinda weird" and move on. not "oh this guys is going DOWN"
