His entire assumption for her being from a rich background that invalidates her experience as a social worker is that the area she grew up has expensive houses today? :psyduck:

Sargon is as sharp as a brick.

I think it`s sad that he left high school because of bullies, but man he really needs some education.

His kids' teachers are gonna hate parent-teacher night.

Jesus if he has no GCSEs he's got to be almost totally unemployable and completely ineligible for any further education without doing remedial courses.

I think an analogy education-wise for us yanks is basic high school without senior year or any form of SATs, or for canucks, highschool without grade 12.

he was really, really fuckin full of himself to think he knew how to speak to french voters

"i know about the french revolution so why don't we force a bunch of french-language memes portraying macron as an aristocrat or as mary antoinette, that'll totally be accepted as authentic and grassroots by the french and not as foreign meddling by idiots"

My favourite part of the French election cycle was all the pepe the frog memes about voting for Le Pen. Let's depict the french as frogs, they really love that!

The only good thing about Swindon is its famous mad science roundabout.

Wow, a quintuple roundabout, I'm barely used to one.

I was just reminded that Armoured Skeptic is a fella from my hometown, so reading about him makes me wonder what my life would have been if I never moved away from home, never went to university,
and got big into internet fights. I'm thinking I made the right choice, but he apparently has a real sweet set of armour so who knows?

Also it's really sad how these mostly-grown adults, many of whom come from histories of depression and bullying, decide to continue the trend and turn their careers into bullying strangers on the internet.

He claims that his family were part of some weird new religious movement when he was growing up, so maybe that's a big part of it.

Oh, I think I know the group, they've gotten some flack for trying to go after depressed college kids and other at-risk locals. Again I have real sympathy for folks with crummy childhoods, but becoming an angry talking head doesn't seem like the best path to mental health :smith:

People think that the fella that makes colonial American food on YouTube made a Trump diss, and he sure is angry about it

I'm guessing the fruit fool isn't the most common dessert in America.

It's kind of surreal seeing him dressed like that in a well composed shot doing one of those ultra common "I didn't want to have to make this video" vlogs.

Yeah, especially since so many of his videos have been about positive interactions with his fans :(

Universities can stand faculty who are bad at their job. What they can't stand is faculty who damage their reputation.

Especially for a such a large university like UofT. If he played this fiddle out in a more rural part of Ontario at a smaller university, he'd probably just fly under the radar as opposed to getting shared in facebook articles among annoyed grads.
