  • Honestly, Cosby’s fall was larger than Kanye’s.

    Unless you were alive in the 1980’s it’s hard to understand how beloved Bill Cosby was.

    It was probably on-par to how Mister Rogers is remembered today.

    He went from that to being completely persona non grata.

    I think Kanye’s fall is nothing in comparison to that; especially considering that he still has a career even though it’s not as successful as it used to be.





  • Any chance for a two state solution has been dead for decades, and everyone knows it.

    The Israelis have intentionally carved up Palestinian territories with the explicit goal of making a viable state impossible, and they passed that point long ago.

    Politicians talking about a two state solution have just been lying to you.

    The only viable solution is a one state solution, and that one state would be majority Muslim.

    That’s why the Zionists are so dead set on committing genocide and ethnic cleansing; it’s the only way Israel will actually still exist with its current form of government 50+ years from now.

    The alternative is a state where the majority of people are not Jewish so the state itself can’t be tied to Judaism unless the majority are being subjected by a minority, and that is not sustainable.

    My stubborn position is that all fruits are vegetables.

    Anything that comes from a plant (vegetation) is a vegetable.

    EDIT: Reading up on the case, they apparently didn’t treat fruits and vegetables as disjoint sets but rather with fruits as a subset of vegetables. So far, so good…

    HOWEVER, they also apparently ruled that tomatoes don’t count as a fruit because they aren’t eaten for dessert…

    Wow… just… wow.





  • Your feelings are valid but the opposite view is also perfectly reasonable.

    I would be proud of my wife for being so successful (or, I would have been while I was still alive).

    There’s no shame in being in your partner’s shadow. It should be a source of pride and enjoyment instead.

    To take an extreme example, look at Dolly Parton and her completely not-a-celebrity husband. Do you think that Dolly Parton’s husband is embarrassed that he isn’t famous or that he’s just thrilled to be married to Dolly Parton?
