What were you THINKING?

Strangelove is spending a lot of pixels on amplifying a white supremacist attacking Mamdani for a trivial but probably unwise decision he made as a teenager. He’s doing it, not because he’s really emphatic that teens should fill out racial identification correctly, but because he dislikes Mamdani’s politics. It’s a shitty ad hominem. His tongue-in-cheek post is continuing that shitty ad hominem.

It’s kind of a ridiculous thing to make a fuss about, but it is an example of double standards.

Not as ridiculous as complaining about him eating with his hands, though. :rofl: The wailing about him on social media has been pretty entertaining.

Umm, you have to have two, nearly identical, examples to establish an actual example of a double standard.

A fantasy counter example, accompanied by an entirely fictitious reaction, does not a double standard make.

Ah, I thought it was that specific post, and the “two Black mayoral candidates” line, that was objectionable, and not his overall line of argument in the thread.

Carry on.

Not angry, it’s just dumb. Trump’s dumb Pocahontas joke doesn’t become funny when it’s applied to Mamdani.

Moronic moron moroning it up in Great Debates:

The OP question isn’t unreasonable, the morony becomes clear as the thread goes on, where he declares established astrophysics to be “mumbo jumbo” “circular reasoning theory” “rubbish”.

Which is why the thread has been closed.

Hmmm. Joined in 2005. Almost never reads nor posts. Shows up last night in a high lather to argue with anybody.

Wacko? Troll? Sock? It is to wonder. Why can’t it be all three?

I need to post this somewhere because I don’t want to hijack my own thread. Re: Dinsdale in “For the Neurodivergent Folks.”

This is just belittling and insulting.

You have a tendency to come into these threads, pretend you actually want to learn more, insert your judgemental opinion and learn exactly nothing. You then go on to make life changing decisions for disabled people based on your absolute lack of knowledge. Your absolute refusal to learn anything. Your willful ignorance. It’s tiresome.

It is literally your fucking job to understand this shit.

I’m tired of trying to hold your hand through a basic understanding of disabilities only for you to shit all over the next thread on this topic. Go read a fucking book or something.

In general, he’s always been a judgemental ass.

See his recent-ish posts in the bidet thread, where he had to let us know that HE’S never had any problems using toilet paper…

That’s a great subtle way of calling someone an asswipe !

I try to be accommodating to people who can’t read a room but I’m short on patience this week.

What’s his job?

He’s a lawyer, IIRC.

His job is to adjudicate disability requests, IIRC. I believe he mainly reviews appeals, which probably means he sees a lot of borderline cases, which I am certain shades his perception.

From a post I’m not linking to,

Yes, but he wasn’t the only one with a basket of sour grapes in that thread.

He had a thread where he griped long and hard about people claiming their autism left them unable to hold a job, and how much he believed some of them were prevaricating because they didn’t appear so bad to him.

While we’re on the subject…

Fuck you too, buddy. Fuck you too. Particularly as you, as noted above, are practically the embodiment of the sort of sociopathic “fuck the poors, fuck the disabled” attitude that leads to precisely the story of tragedies we are seeing in Texas. Sometimes inflicted on the wealthy and their offspring in relatively privileged communities, yes, but far more often on the people in low-income households and marginalized communities that you tend to denigrate.

JFC, I just read the thread (most of it). Why on earth is he even there? Seems like a massive threadshit to me.

I am so lucky and thankful that my SSDI was quickly approved on the first application, so that I never had to justify my existence to him. I sympathize with his victims. There must be many.
